Bear Lake Summer 2009

We had a great time (as always) at Bear Lake this year. We went to the beach, pickleville playhouse, and hung out with Grandma Chapman. Taylor founds some new friends on the beach!

Paityn played soccer this year for the first time. She was so cute. When she decided to play she did very well. She usually scored about 3 goals a game and sometimes 1 for the other team.

Catarac Canyon. Yea a new post!

Doug and I had a big adventure this last June. We went down Catarac Canyon. It goes from Moab to Lake Powell. It was kind of slow for two days but when we hit the rapids on day three it was so worth it. We hit a rapid called Ben Hur, because if you hit it you "been hurt!!" It's a long story but I will never forget that wave of water coming at me. Doug will never forget the boat in front of us on top of that wave. He thought it was going to come down on top of us. I thought we were goner's! We managed to stay on the boat and everyone came out safely. Here are some of the pictures. We mostly went with complete strangers. We were invited by our good friends the Skalla's. Thanks Skalla's. It was a blast!

Special Olympics and Juco... Taylor

Taylor did Special Olympics swimming this year. It was his first year. He did fantastic. He is a great swimmer. Grandma and Grandpa came to watch. Grandpa bought him a special olympics Windbreaker. He loves it. Becky and DJ came too.
Taylor was able to go on the field at Juco(junior college world series). Juco is really exciting and fun. They honored all the challenger baseball players. He thought it was really cool! When they play baseball they have buddies. Usually players from local high school team or Mesa State. During Juco they get Juco teams to be their buddies. Taylor's buddy was from Howard. They ended up winning Juco so we were really happy.

Taylor's birthday barbeque

We invited a lot of the young men from our ward. They have been so great to Taylor!

Taylor is 15

We can't believe that Taylor is 15 years old. He played a challenger baseball game and then we went to dinner to Outback. Taylor's favorite because he loves cheese fries and steak. The Gibb's came with us to dinner. We had a party with Taylor's friends on Friday night. We are so grateful to all the people who love Taylor!

Easter 2009

We went to the Keith's house for Easter dinner. There were many friends there and the Gibbs came too. It was a fun day! It was also Andy's birthday. Sorry I have neglected my blog. I will try harder!
