Rock On Personal Progress!

Way to go Rae!  She just got her Young Womanhood Recognition Award!

Seriously Cool!

Reese!

The girl got glasses!  And CUTE CUTE CUTE she is!

 She's getting used to them : )

The first day that she got them was pretty funny.  We drove home from Dr. Moser's office and she just kept saying - "Wow! Look at that!  Oh my gosh!"  It was so funny.  I guess her correction was bad enough that she had needed them for a while - she just really didn't realize it (or didn't want us to realize it!).  But I think she's enjoying seeing now. 
The night she got them, we knelt down for prayer and waited for Kelly to call on someone.  He said, "Pray Four-Eyes!" Poor girl!  No - she laughed.  As did we all.  : ) 

Fall Break

We decided to head out of town and take a little trip  : )

 The men were all set to golf - too bad it didn't last.  Rain fell in sheets - they just couldn't make it. Ah well, they got a rain check - just an excuse to go again : ) Bran wanted me to take a picture of him with Hunter Bear.  He loves that critter. 

 We went with Jen and her kids to the LARGEST TRAMPOLINE PARK IN THE USA!! Yes! They bounced and bounced - much fun!

 Cousin fun!

 Then we headed to the Dino Museum at Thanksgiving Point.  We've gone before - but Bran was only a year old or so - and he has really been wanting to go.  He loved it!

 Kelly has been here dozens of times with the school - so he is always quite the tour guide!

 We almost got et.

 All of them almost getting et.

 Back at the hotel - and swimming with cousins!  Don't know why I didn't get a girl picture : (

 Next day at LAGOON!  It was a great time - kids always love it!

 Bran loves this car ride!

And this "shootin' ride"-

The old shoe is still there : )

Sorry - lots of Bran Pictures.  He was just loving it!

Went and had our Old Time Photo taken - HA!  We look awesome!

Great trip - great memories!

Jackson Trip

 Uncle Trent came to visit us!  So we decided to head to Jackson and go visit Grandpa Jonesy!  Great fun!  Junk food in the car to start us off!  Yes!

Bran had a great time!  He didn't know grandpa would be on a raven hunt when we got there!  Double yes!  Spent the day trying to shoot things - translation --Brannen heaven.

Such fun!

Happy Birthday!

 Birthday time again for Rae and Grandpa Barry.  : )

 Rae is 17! Grandpa is not!  ; )

Another year gone by -- Wow!  I can't believe how fast it goes!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

 Brannen helped Rae and I with some yard work.  He wanted to ride in the front so that he could shoot any animals he saw on the way up the canyon. 

crazy

 Rae's new do!  Ha ha ha ha!  Now we shall call her Billy Rae Cyrus - queen of mullets! ; )

 Bran being Bran

Autumn

Reese and Bran and I had a not-much-happening kind of Saturday a while back, so we headed up Swift Creek for a little hike to the periodic spring.

There was a mountain lion along the way!

And cutie kids!

And beautiful fall colors!

And mean faces!

And muscles!

It was a splendid day.  I love that canyon.  I love those kids!!
