Rock Jam 2008

We were able to go to Rock Jam this last weekend. We saw Poison, Survivor, Joan Jett, and Kid Rock. Kid Rock was kind of a disapointment. Really bad language and not that good. Doug loved Poison. Survivor was really good but old! The highlight to me was Joan Jett. She Rocks!! She was cool! She is 48 years old and she looked hot! Awesome entertainer.
We had VIP tickets which is the only way to go. We met up with the Kohls, Harmons, Steglmeirs, and Jolleys which made it a blast. Rock on guys and girls!! I kind of felt like I was in high school again. It was a fun weekend. I put some of the music we heard on mytunes.

Yellowstone 2008

We were invited by friends(the Vorhies) to go to Yellowstone in August and jumped at it. We had a really good time. We stayed in Cabins about 14 miles outside of Yellowstone. We went Mountain Biking and trail running. The kids went swimming in the lake by our cabin. It was really cold. Paityn fell in twice. It was so beautiful there.
One of the highlights was going to firewall and jumping in the river. It was kind of crazy. The water was really fast but warm because the geysers kind of heat the water. It was very adventurous.
Another highlight was going into Yellowstone early in the morning and seeing the smoke from the Geysers.
Jaxon and Cydney were fishing just before we left. Jaxon caught a 21 inch trout on his second cast. We were all surprised. He was surprised but exited.
Yellowstone was really pretty. It was just a nice vacation the end the summer with.

Grandma Beth

We were able to go visit my Grandma Beth this summer. She is living with my uncle and as you can see is getting older. She still has a little spunk left in her though. We don't know how much longer she will be with us, so it is great when we get the chance to go visit her. Paityn didn't quite know what to think of her.

Lagoon 2008

Doug and Taylor Handies Hike

Doug has been called to be the young men's president in our ward. He and some other leaders took the older boys on a five mile hike at 14k feet. It was really hard but they all made it including Curtis Gray. Taylor did really well. He had to keep up with the boys. They had a good time.

Fiesta Days Spanish Fork

The Kids went to the rodeo on Wednsday night with Grandma and Grandpa. I decided to pass on the rodeo and stay home with Paityn. Billy came over with Riley and Taylor really enjoyed seeing them. The kids had fun. Dad and I ran the Speedy Spaniard on the 24th. I didn't brake any records but it was fun. Later we went to the parade and the park. I saw many friends from high school and my kids got irritated every time we stopped to say hi. Jaxon climbed to wall and the other rode the ponies. Paityn screamed but eventually came around and enjoyed the ride. That afternoon we went swimming and the new Payson pool. It was a nice pool. Payson's got it going on!! That night we went to the fireworks. Overall it was a fun day. I'm exhausted!! Doug had to work so I did this all on my own.
