This is what it is all about

Swimming Lessons

Swimming lessons at the Bicknell pool. We usually take lessons in Gunnison but this year I thought this would be a little better.

Torgerson Mountain Trip

Don't you love kids that have been camping? Dirty faces that only moms will kiss. Bentley sure loves getting dirty.

Baxter loves riding horses. He wanted to ride the horse all day long.

This was so funny. I saw Branson sitting by the potty and asked him if he was waiting for his turn. He told me "No, this just looks like a good place to sit." I said "doesn't it kinda stink?" He told me "Mom, you can't really smell stink when you are camping. " I thought about it and I guess it is kinda true.

Baxter sure loves riding this 80 motorcycle around. He wants one.

LaRon just taking the kids for a little ride.

The kids always have so much fun on the mountain trip. I guess that is why we always take the time a go camping.

Some home improvement

Building a shed for the firewood. Baxter is learning so much by all the little projects we do.

Hammering the nails in the roof.

Cement in the back of house. We are making a small porch back there.

New asphalt in the front of house. Nice, nice, nice.

After this is all finished we will be able to have some picnics outside. This winter will not be so muddy for when we get the wood for the fireplace.

Cowabungua Bay

Baxter had fun. I hardly saw him all day.

The kids had a great time here. Fun place.

The water was a little cold for me but the kids didn't mind.

Branson would go down a slide and then go lay on the sidewalk to get warm.

I think Bentley has had enough. So did I. I wanted this trip to be fun but I had a gallbladder attack all day and ended up in the Emergency Room in Gunnison. So, two weeks later, I had my gallbladder taken out. I feel much better.

We decided to go to "Chuck-a-Rama" I had a really good salad with this good green ranch on it. I ended up telling Collette I think I am having a anxiety attack. She looked and me and said why would you have one here. Then I kept complaining about it all day and Brooke said you sure complain a lot. I just wanted to leave but the kids were having so much fun that I just sat and waited until our time was up. I wanted to go buy my kids some school clothes. I decided that I couldn't stand to go shopping and we headed home. The way home I keep thinking should I go to the Hospital in Provo and I drove by. As I got closer I wondered if I should stop at the Hospital in Nephi. I got a hold of LaRon and he said he would meet me in Gunnison. The Doctor gave me a shot that made me feel better and LaRon drove us all home and then we had to go to the Hospital the next day and get some tests. Sure enough, it was my gallbladder. I had one stone in the gallbladder.

Collette come over and stayed with us before we went up to the water park.

Playing in the Swimming Pool at the Park

Baxter has always though he was older then he is. What kid that is nine knows how to drive. I would say country kids know how to do a lot of stuff like this.

Bentley and her new little dress that Grandma Coleen made her. I saw this pattern on somebody's blog. I had a cute bandanna in my drawer. I thought it turned out really cute.
