Hadley and Tucker spent the Day

Tucker and Hadley spent the day with me on Monday. I had one more vacation day to take before September 1st. What a fun way to spend it. The kids are entertaining me with song and dance. They are standing on the cement slab that will one day be the shop office.

Last Week-end

Gary My husband, and my daughters and their husbands, and Emily and Tucker went Camping at Sage Hen. I haven't been there before, but it was a great spot. I enjoyed it a lot. It's not very far from home, there is a lake for fishing (we didn't fish), miles and miles of ATV and dirt bike trails as well as hiking trails.

We went on a hike. Mark, Susan -- their baby is due in Dec

Mike, Amy, Emily and Tucker

Granddog - Riley

We enjoyed the ATV trails, we saw signs of bears on the trails. I guess the bears stay away from the camp grounds, there were no warnings posted. That I saw!

CAMPING AGAIN

We are going camping again this weekend, we leave this afternoon. We will join, Mark and Susan and Mike, Amy and kids for a few days in Sage Hen. We are taking the ATV's and Mark and Gary are bringing their mountain bikes. John has to work this weekend, so they won't be joining us.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TUCKER

Today is Tucker's 5th birthday. We celebrated twice --a couple of weekends ago at my sisters, and again Saturday evening around a camp fire. We got him a guitar, he seemed to love it

I DID IT!

SEA FOAM LAKE

PINYON PEAK LOOKOUT----9942 FT HIGH

POLARIS AD-----

I rode the ATV on the hardest trail ever, from now on 4 wheeling will be a breeze, I hope. I was crazy to even try the trail. And once I got to Sea Foam lake the only thing I could think of was, "HOW AM I GOING TO GET DOWN" I just told everyone that I was just going to stay there, but Tucker talked me into coming down. After I got down he told me he prayed for me. I prayed a lot and it worked cause I really felt like at time angels were helping me over the tough spots. But don't they always. God is so good to me. I would post a picture, but you really need to be there.

CAMPING TRIP

Gary and I take off tomorrow about noon, we are headed to the Stanley area. We will meet up with the TenHulzens, Mike and Amy and Mike's folks. This is the 2nd annual camping/ATV/Tucker's birthday weekend. I think we plan on doing this every year. It's what Tucker wants to do on his birthday. Wish me luck, it will be the first time I have driven my ATV for an extended amount of time. I have only been on two 35 mile rides and they have been weeks ago. I hope they stay on easy trails.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AJ AND TUCKER
