Thomas the Train!


We have been awaiting this day for a very long time. On May 23rd we drove to Heber City and got to take a ride on Thomas. They had other activites available all Thomas related. Then we drove to Little Dear Creek campground (because honestly the campsites we had originally wanted to go to still had snow!) Burrr.



Our Campsite, we have never camped in aspens before!


Rylan showing off his Thomas tattoo on his check...notice the basball cap he must always wear.


Eating smores. He was so excited to roast marshmellows, then after we taught him the fine art of getting it just a little brown and we made his little sandwich, he took a bite and said..."I don't like it brown!"

I had to put this one in there of my manly husband cutting down a dead tree for firewood. His days working for the forest service paid off.

While eating his breakfast, the wind somehow blew up his paper plate and dumped all his eggs on the table then blew the plate on the ground. Ry wondered what he should do and Scott and I looked at each other and both said, "eat your eggs!" So he continued to eat them right off the dirty table. Hey when you are camping, rules that prevent you getting dirty don't apply.

Great update! I love the camping story of Rylan eating his eggs. He is so cute. Your flowers are beautiful in your yard too. I need to learn how to grow things. I'll be calling you for advice!

Dare Essay winner

Image
 (Early Spring 2022)  Ian was selected to read his essay at his DARE graduation! They called the top three essays for each class and Ian’s was picked to read for Mr Thompson’s class. They had to read their essay on the spot in front of the whole 5th grade and their parents! He was just getting over a sickness so his voice was a bit crackly but he did great! He got a big trophy too! I had a cough drop and bottled water in my purse in case he needed it, but he didn’t. Mr. Thompson pulled me aside and jokingly said that he has highly considering holding Ian back so he could be in his class again, he just thinks he is the coolest kid.  Ian has also loved Academic Team this year! He took 4th place in the science assessment category and was able to compete at regionals.                                                      His best buddies Keaton...

Grandpa & Grandma Young Visit

Image
Grandma & Grandpa Young drove all the way from Idaho to visit us!  It took them 2 1/2 days because they stopped at Mt. Rushmore, but they got here around 1:00 pm and we were all so excited and when Rylan got off the bus, they were there waiting for him! With G & G Young comes the I-pad which is a good way for Grandmas and Grandpas to get to actually hold their grandkids all they want.   Ian learned quite a bit from the I-pad just from their time here.   Ian has learned to say, "cheese" whenever someone points a camera at him  I am sorry to say that we didn't do that much, and when I asked them what they wanted to do they said that just wanted to watch me be a mom and play with the kids. They even babysat while Scott and I went to a dance, and when Scott was out of town I went to play with friends one Friday.  I felt guilty leaving but they insisted on letting me have a night out away from kids.  We did hav...

Rylan and the Beginning of Mission Prep

(Early Spring 2022) Rylan was able to have one last percussion season. He got to play the timpani, which he LOVED!  They got first place many times in their competitions!                                                                                         Rylan asked Kyann to prom with a little help from his mom and her Cricut!                                                                           She said yes! Scott asked the priests in our ward especially those who had achieved an Eagle rank in scouts to teach first aid to the activity day boys. Each boy was assigned a to...
