Winner Again!

So it seems like we focus on Katelyn a lot, and that is probably because she has had a streak of good luck lately. If you remember, she won a bowling birthday party in April. Well she's at it again. This past week our city has a back to school bash where they have carnival games, carousel rides, cotton candy, train rides, dinner, and best of all a drawing where they give away some wonderful prizes. They started the drawing at 6:00 pm, and they were on the last thing to give away. I was tired of being there all day and we were starting to pack up to leave for home. Just then they called out Katelyn's name. She had won the grand prize. A mini laptop valued at $400.00. She was so excited. Now she has her very own computer, even though Dad likes it just as much as she does. We will see who will really benefit the most from it.

Our Summer Fun!

It can't be almost September! I am in denial, and our family wants to draw out summer as long as possible. Since Jayson doesn't start back until after Labor Day then we don't either. So for now it is still Summer. We have done a lot of fun things and we wanted to share them with you.

FISHING
Jayson has been able to go fishing with the kids and with nephews. They have have had a lot of fun catching big amounts of fish. You can't ask for more than that.

YELLOWSTONE REVISITED
Quite a few of Jayson's family was able to come out our way and go up to Yellowstone. We had a great time being together, and seeing some really neat things. Even more then we saw our first trip. Maybe the next time we go we will see even more.

KUNZLER CABIN
We had the chance to go out to Utah and be with Jayson's parents and go up to their cabin for 3 days. It was so much fun to just relax and not have the hustle and bustle of everyday life. We played games, rode on the 4-wheelers, ate good food, and just enjoyed being together. It was just the key to help us relax.

ROBERTS FAMILY REUNION
While we were in Utah the Roberts had a family reunion. We had a great time being together, and since we are a smaller family, we all stayed at Grandma & Grandpa's house. Aunt Cheri rented a tent for the kids to sleep in and they thought that was great! (until the last night when spiders started invading it because the tent door was left unzipped!) We enjoyed all of the fun that was planned. We had dinner in the yard and watched a show on the lawn projected onto a sheet hanging from the deck. We went to Lagoon and had our fill of riding all of the rides. All of the little kids loved all of the kiddie rides and could have gone all night. Katelyn and Steven still wished they could ride the little kiddie rides and not have to be so grown up. Gavin conquered his fears of roller coasters, and had a blast riding MOST of them. (Not Wicked) Jennie was daring and went on the ride "Wicked" and ended up loosing her cell phone on it. It was literally pulled out of her pocket. Crazy ride! And Jayson had fun torturing Katelyn and Steven by taking them on rides they weren't to excited to go on. All in all we had a great time! We went swimming at a new pool they just put in, and Jacob conquered his fears of going down the water slide, and went down several times. To wrap our our week Jayson, Jennie, Gavin, Katelyn & Steven were able to attend the dedication for the Oquirrah Mountain Temple. What a neat experience to be able to be there for that. It was wonderful.

Well this is a slideshow of some of our fun this summer. You can click on each picture to make them bigger, since some of them are pretty small. Enjoy!
