Things to do in 2010

So I haven't blogged for awhile. I am not going to post any pictures. I was in church today and a teacher asked the question what have been your new year goals. I have always had yearly goals to achieve. This year I haven't had any in mind. Yes, I also want to lose weight but then don't we all. I had a goal last year to go to the temple once a month and I achieved it. If anyone knows me I am always up for a challenge. So my new goal this year is to start fasting once a month. I have never followed this but now the time is right. I have been studying about it and I think I can do it.

Branson Pictures

I usually wouldn't post something like this but, I think he is so cute looking into the camera and taking one picture after another. He loves to do thinks like this. Grandpa Dick gave him this Cowboy hat. I bet he is looking at himself to see how good looking he is. Branson, I think you are way handsome and one day you will have all the girls chasing you with those long skinny legs and blue eyes.

Love the tongue. Who does this remind you of? Guess

Keep being who you are. We love it. Always be yourself.

Hickman Bridge

Conference weekend Brooke called and wanted to know if we could go with her and the kids and hike to Hickman Bridge.

When we were in our way back to the van, I had Baxter get into this little cave.

I haven't been to Hickman Bridge since I was about 8. The Teasdale Primary would go down to Capital Reef and hike this trail. We had fun. First we went to the Gifford House and bought some drinks and ice cream. We went over to the picnic tables and had a nice picnic with the kids. I forget how fun things like this can be. We all get so caught up with the hustle of life we forget about the things that made us happy as kids. As I was hiking a thought kept coming back to me: "why, don't I do thinks with my kids that I did as a child?" I am going to try harder to do simple, yet fun, things with my kids.

Fall Family Picture Beautiful leaves

We went up on Monroe Mountain and looked at the pretty leaves and took some pictures. What a cute family. I love you guys.

Baxter and Mom having a little talk. We seem to have these little talks quite a bit. I hope some day they will pay off.

As we were coming home I told LaRon we used to go on rides a lot back when we were first married. I told him we need to do this more. I think I enjoy the simple things in live the best.

Mom and her kiddos Luv Ya!

I just love these kids and I am so glad they are mine.

August Pictures We don't have very many.

Dark Valley cabin. This is the Pace cabin and we had a fun time out their painting it this year . Sure looks nice.

This is up to Midway at the old homestead. LaRon and I went up there and stayed for our 14th Anniversary. I wanted to set here and maybe the frog would turn into a Prince.

Burns Saddlery. Bentley was running around while we were trying to get Boots for the Boys for school.

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.
