Greyhound Rock

Today after confrence we went to the beach to take some pictures. I wanted to get family shots but I left the tri pod in the car and it was very very windy. We had a great time all in all.

Tri at Pacific Grove

Ash and I went to the Tri at Pacific Grove, Marshall came also as support person, I should have had hem bring the camera (lame I am). Ash placed 3rd in her divison and I placed 5th in my division, we had such a great time!

50 Miler

Just got back from a 50 mile bike ride with Marhall and Kirk to complete Marshall's merit badge it was awesome although a little slow with three 12 year olds and a 16 year old. Let's here it for the three over 40 year olds that were always waiting on the kids. But it was great all in all

Family reunion at Ada's

We had such a great time at Ada's celebrating Gma's birthday and celebrating familys. It was so nice to see Alice, Hans and Tonya's familys as well as everyone else who came The kids had so much fun playing with all the cousins that were there well over 20! The pool was the hit of the party next to Grandma! (we missed you Page)

Ash's prom

Wow it sure has been way to long since I have posted.

Here is beautiful Ash Lee on her way to the prom she went with our neighbor that she has know since they were 6 I remember when we moved in and there were 3 boys next door one older than Page and one the same as page and one the same as Ash. We would joke with the parents about them going to prom together little did we know it would happen!

My trip to Utah

This past weekend I went to Utah to take pictures for my friends daughter's wedding at the Jordon River temple it was great. I was able to see Page, Emily and Lauren, James Carlson (a missionary that served here for over a year), Brother and Sister Powell (also missionaries that served here), Sister Raughs daughter Ashley and Marlisse and 3 of her girls. Even on the flight home I saw Brother Hardester (whom I havent seen for over 14 years). It was like a huge reunion for me. I visited my favorite store Cabela's. And even though I had my camera I neglected to take any pictures except for the wedding and reception pictures what a dope. Oh well.

Knee Surgery

Well after a fall from my horse two weeks after getting her. Saddle difficulties, a tip always buy a new saddle. Anyways, after 3 months of rehab to build up the muscles again I finally had knee surgery to replace my ACL (one of the four ligaments in a knee). He did some clean up on my cartilage on the knee cap and some other minor thing than went for the gusto and took out my old ACL and replaced it with a cadavar Achilles tendon and a bone piece from the heel. I know it sound weired but using my own patella tendon was not an option for me wayyyy to much recovery time for that. The Dr said 2 week off the leg with only partial weight bearing with a brace and crutches. Well needless to say I could handle only 3 days of the brace and only about a week of the crutches. So today I went to Scotts Valley and only used the crutches a bit and even drove. I get to see the Dr on tuesday so I will see how things are going.

Kelty's 2nd Birthday

The Big Birthday girl and her Dad

It just amazes me that it took 6 kids to get one with Kirk's eyes

She sure is her Daddy's little girl

Kelty's yummy cake!

Kelty love her cake so much, she had a little trouble blowing out the candles but she got plenty of help from her sisters and brother.

Kelty got new shoes for her presents. Even though we have plenty of shoes from her sisters I could not resist these pretty ones to play in ( psst Gail guess where they are made)



Here are her new church shoes. Kelty liked both of her new pairs and wanted to were them all the time.
