Summer Fun!!
We have had a great spring and summer so far this year and want to share a few pictures of our adventures. This springbreak we went to sea world, the beach and Disneyland!! It was a dream for our girls to go to Disneyland. But they loved to beach and seaworld just as much. We stayed with my mom, bro. & sister's families in a vacation house on mission beach 1/2 block from the beach. It as amazing, and went to seaworld and played at the beach, then on our way home we went to disneyland for a day, and had a magicial day!

Then when we got home, we moved out of our house in with my mom and grandma, because we are renting our house out again for the summer, as a vacation home. We also had piano recital for Gracie and Dance recital for Susie and her Preschool Graduation.
Then we headed to Blackfoot for Andy's brother Kelly's Wedding. It was so beautiful and an amazing day.
Then before we knew it School was out and we were in full swing for the motel and pageant.

Andy has also started coaching football again at Gunnison High School, with a good friend Yori as Head Coach. They have been busy fundraising, and morning and night weights/workouts and getting their program up and running. I am so excited for him and proud he can influence the boys to do their best.

We have also went to Lava Hot Springs for a quick family vacation with Rick and Janet and with Andy's sister Jami family, it was great fun, swimming, and floating the river and camping.

For the July 4th we were in charge of the Manti 4th Parade and participated in the town's old fashion festivities, then went to Tooele and a Buzz game with my dad and Gayle who are where in town for week. We also went to a Cook family Reunion at Jordanelle.
Gracie went up to Logan with her aunts for a sports camp, and Andy was gone with his dad to a Football camp, so me and Rosie and Susie had fun going to Palisades, Swimming Pool, 4-wheeler rides, etc.
We have been busy every week, but enjoying and having fun every chance we get. We have also enjoyed living with my mom and grandma and helping them with their garden, and remodeling their backyard.
And Last but not Least, James and Sharee went through the Temple and were sealed in marriage on Saturday. We are so happy for them.

I am grateful for all my many blessing of a great supportive family, husband and girls and my life to experience so many fun opportunities with my family.
OH, Best of ALL by the way if you did not know, I am pregnant with our 5th GIRL. I am due November 18th.

Remembering Maggie

2010-02-11T12:41:00.000-08:00

Yesterday was Maggie's Birthday, Feb 10th. I was thinking how fitting it is to have her close to valentines, because she was such a sweetie, and we love her so very much. We celebrated her day by decroating the house with balloons and streamers, played party games, went and bought penny candy, and went to her grave and decorated it with balloons, flowers, and pinwheels and went to the temple. Its was a bright sunny day, and we felt her love for us as a family. I feel so blessed that our Heavenly Father chose Maggie to come down and be a part of our family, if only briefly. There are times when I wonder what she is doing with her mission in heaven, and what she would have been like if she were with us, a beautiful, fun loving 6 years old. I miss her and we remember her often. I feel sad sometimes she is not with us, but I feel so grateful she is ours forever, and I feel so blessed for the way she has strengthen my testimony of the gospel, and of my Savior Jesus Christ. She has made it a reality daily to have an Eternal Perspective in my life.

This picture was taken Last Memorial day.

Gracie's Baptism

Happy Halloween!!!!!!

2009-11-01T19:20:00.000-08:00

This weekend was a blast for our family, a bunch of my family came down and we did it all, played games, carved pumpkins, went gun shooting, made and decorated halloween sugar cookies, racked a big pile of leaves and jumped in it, went to the temple, chopped wood for grandma, watched movies, and best of all got all dressed up in cool costumes and went truck or treating together. We love fall time!!!!! Thanks to laura and bret and ben and christina and aaron and rachel for coming down and spending halloween in manti, it means alot to us and our kids and to grandma too.

Last weekend Andy and I went on a get a way weekend to Bryce Canyon and Capital Reef. I was great to just drive and get a way from our busy life and just spend much needed time together. It was very beautiful fall weather and fun to see the National Parks, that Andy have never been to. We did a room trade with a little motel that has cabins in Tropic, Utah just outside of Bryce Canyon, so it was free to stay which made it even better.

Fun Summer Pictures.

2009-10-25T20:46:00.000-07:00

Well as most of you know this summer was a blurr, but we had FUN, FUN, FUN!! doing different activities. We had the pageant, Andy finished painting his Nova, the Fun 4th of July in Manti, Camping at Yearns Lake, Yellowstone and Island Park, visits to Blackfoot and fun on Kelly's Boat are just to name a few. We finally moved into our new house and have spent our time, adjusting to not being at the motel, and enjoying spending more time as a family. We have put a new roof on our house and did major tree trimming, so next is painting and we'll have it looking great.

Thanks to all our family for all there love and support. We have loved living at the motel and it has provided a way for me to be home with my children, and I will always be grateful for that. And I know we have had lots of help with our business from all of our family and want to say thank you for that support.

Yes, I have been slacking on posting for about two months now. Sad, I Know. Well Life is just happening fast and I lovin being a mom and wife to a great husband and girls.
I have been busy in my new calling on the enrichment committee planning monthly classes and the big RS birthday party. Also helping James and Sharee plan their wedding in like 5 weeks. Me and my mom doing the luncheon and helping coordinate the other stuff. I am so excited to have Sharee part of our family, officially that is, she has already been part of our lives for a long time. And they are moving to Manti to go to school so we are excited about that, especially Andy, so we isn't always surrounded by girls all the time.
Well the girls have been involved with swimming the past 6 weeks and we are starting another session this week. Rosie is cute as ever and doing funny things all the time. We are excited for spring and the warm weather. Andy has been having fun with work and like most places, alot of changes because of budget cuts, he feels pretty safe about his position though, just salary cut for him this next school year.
Gracie is going to be in a spring play coming up and Susie loves her sunbeam class, and preschool, she is bring home little books to read. Rosie is in nursery now, but that means me or Andy are in there too.
This weekend we went to the Draper Temple Open House and loved it. The girls were excited and I hope Gracie and Susie will remember that they want to go there someday, because of how special and pretty it was. Me and Andy celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary this friday. We have both learned and grown together and are as happy as we have ever been.
This weekend was fun, we saw all our families from both sides and the girls had fun with everyone, thanks family!!!!!!!!!
will post pictures soon as we unpack and find the camera.

This month has flown by so fast. We have been still pretty busy at the motel for winter and keep painting rooms and doing more projects. Susie's birthday was January 24th and we went to Midway to my brother-in-law, Bret's parents condo at Swiss Oaks, its a great place to go, and I went skiing at the Canyons Resort thanks to Ben and his free passed. I had forgotten how much I loved Skiing, I would have enjoyed it more if my legs wouldn't have given out by mid-day. We also celebrated Susie's birthday with a games and a pinata. For thoughs who don't know, Susie has been so excited to turn 4 years old for about 6 months now, and so this was her day to shine. Susie also started dance classes this month and is having fun practicing at home what she learns.

Finding Joy in the Journey!

2009-01-31T20:38:00.000-08:00

Well, its Saturday night and me and Andy just got back from our Stake Conference Adult session and he has another at 7am, so he's asleep along with the girls, and TV doesn't sound very interesting so I am posting. I love to look at what everyone has been up to in their own lives, I love this Blogging thing, I just don't spend the time to post messages, but I do read everyones often.
This year our R.S. is focusing on finding fullness of joy, and we are planning a Enrichment retreat, that my new calling by the way, and we are focusing on this theme. So I was just thinking what are somethings I find joy in? And I want to focus on these things all year. What are things you find joy in? Just a thinking question.
Goals for finding Fullness of Joy:
I find joy in knowing that I have a Savior who love me and that atoned for my sins. So I need to draw closer to him through scriptures and prayer and temple attendance.
I find joy in being with my husband, so we have date night every Wednesday night, its been the greatest thing we have done to improve our relationship and our personal lives.
I find joy in being with my girls, so I am going to try to wake up earlier and stay up later and get things done, so in the middle of the day I can just play and teach my kids, I love just playing with them without all the other motel stuff.
I can think of other things that I like, but I guess I am pretty simple, I find joy in these simple things.
What are your goals this year to finding joy in the journey?

Christmas Break "Put to Work"

2009-01-04T14:37:00.000-08:00

After a relaxing first week, the second has been another story. We knew we needed to do some projects over the break, while andy was home. Well, Monday we were suppose to go to Becky's to visit, but Rosie woke up with a fever, so I stayed home, and got rooms cleaned, and office motel stuff done, while Andy went to Salt Lake to get Christmas presents from G&G Moysh, and the other two went to Helper to see cousins. That day set it all in motion, the carpet guys called and said he could install our carpet we got from the Marriott, so here we go. Tuesday the realitor came about listing the motel, so naturally the house, and motel had to look its best, then wednesday, moved armors, dressers and dismateled rooms so I could paint. Painted New years eve and all New Years day, along with many calls for pageant. Friday carpets installed, and carpet cleaner, and a full house at motel, along with moving furniture to new house and staging some rooms for pictures for our website, but the girls did have fun playing at the house, and especially taking a bath in jet tube upstairs. And watching the awesome Utah Game on the big screen HD TV was fun. Way to go UTAH!!!! A long week, but alot accomplished. We are excited to get our house in May, and get it ready and decorated for a Vacation Rental. Girls enjoying the Jetted Tube.

Rosie loves going up and down the stairs, and Gracie and Susie slide down in pillowcases.

Christmas Break!

2009-01-04T14:11:00.001-08:00

Well this Christmas break was a fun, and relaxing for the first week anyway. Me and Andy really simplified Christmas gifts this year, and so when it was getting closer and closer to christmas, we had all our shopping done, and didn't do much baking, so just enjoyed a quiet, simple Christmas this year in Manti.

Funny Story: Gracie had her birthday the weekend before christmas, and all the relatives went home and so for Christmas Eve it was just us and my mom and G. Allen. We shared our tesitmonies and talked about and watched the nativity. Then actually got the kids to bed by nine and just watched a movie. Well the big Christmas morning came, and I knew Gracie would get up early and see what Santa brought first, because her room is upstairs and she gets up early. So she went out in the living room and saw that Susie and Rosie got something from Santa, but didn't see her BIG PIANO she was expecting, so she went into her room and layed down, thinking if she went back to sleep Santa would come and bring her Piano. She layed there almost in tears, and about 15 minutes later thought, Santa had probably came and left by then, came out and look, and started crying alittle, until she saw her Keyboard on the computer desk and a board game and her stocking. Then she knew Santa hadn't forgotten her!!!! Gracie has a santa's workshop at school and spent her own $ to get Susie a huge pencil.

Susie got from Santa a Beauty Salon to get all dolled up, and Grandma & Grandpa got her make-up to go along with it, so she is all set. oh, and Dad's had his hair done more then anyone else!

Rosie got from Santa a little people Bus, and hand-me-down toys we had in the basement or from my sister Laura.

We all gave Dad Geo Trax to play with, and a Fly Tying kit and a way nice warm coat from my brother Ben (just because he saw Andy looking at coats and saw he needed one, he just went and bought a coat from his work, and sent it down. Thanks Ben!!, very generous)
and I got Bread Pans from Cathy which I've already successfully made bread for the first time ever. And perfume and gift card for clothes, Thanks Cathy!

LET IS SNOW, LET IS SNOW, LET IT SNOW!!!!!!!

2008-12-22T21:12:00.000-08:00

It snowed last friday and friday night, then sunday night and all day today until about 3:00. So we got dumped on. Its so fun to have a white Christmas. The girls all love sledding behind the
4-wheeler and today we just could pass up the chance. I am so grateful Andy has two weeks off school for the holiday. Its good R&R and also good to spend time as a family all together. We hope everyone has a MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!GOING FAST!!!!!!!
Susie acting being silly!!

Gracie pulling the girls around.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRACIE!!!!!!

2008-12-22T20:48:00.000-08:00

This last weekend we celebrated Gracie's 7th Birthday. First it was her special week at school so everyday she brought something to share so her class could get to know her better like a baby book, poster of her pictures, a craft demo, books and favorite treat to share. She likes the attention alot!!! Because she is so outgoing and friendly to everyone. Friday she had her best friend Morgan come over and they helped make cookies, watch a movie and play games. Then Saturday was the day of her party. We decorated the house, and went sledding with some cousins and then went bowling with everyone. (Everyone being my bro. and Sister with their families). Then we went back to our house and played the Wii and had presents and cake. It was a fun filled day for a fun girl. We love Gracie so much. She is such a sweetheart. Oh, and she lost her two front teeth too!!!

Susie is a big helping opening presents.

A couple of days ago, Andy make about 10 paper airplanes and the girls went on the roof and threw them down to us. Its was so funny seeing Gracie and Susie so excited. They took turns throwing them, and seeing how they each flew and how far. Just a fun family memory.

Rosie had fun watching the airplanes come down and picking them up and giving to me.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

2008-11-30T14:49:00.001-08:00

This year we went to Salt Lake to spend Thanksgiving with the Moysh's. We ate our feast at Jami and Andreys house in Sandy. It was fun to be together and Andrey had his friends there too and it was fun to meet them too. And we stayed downtown and went swimming and shopping early (4:30am) at walmart, and just had fun hanging out, then we met my Dad and Gayle for lights at Temple Square to get us in the mood for Christmas. Then yesterday Andy and Bret and Laura and James and Sharee went up to get Christmas trees and we set up a big, beautiful tree at my moms. I love to visit salt lake and all the fun things to do, but I sure love living in a small town. Susie holding Baby Nik before eating Thanksgiving Feast.
Merry Christmass!!!! Fun to see the Lights, but alittle cold Lovin' Grandpa and the spirit of the Christ Statue.

At Temple Square for the beautiful lights.

FUN DAYS!!!

2008-11-20T14:54:00.000-08:00

I can't believe its been over two weeks since I posted last. Well we have been enjoying the great fall weather, busy with our lives here in Manti. The motel has not slowed down, keeping me busy as ever. I started Isagenix again hoping to lose a few pounds during the holidays instead of gaining a few. I feel great and love getting out and exercising. Andy is been busy doing alot of stuff at work, and helping out around here. We've has a plumbing problem that now has to repair the girls bedroom ceiling, Crappy Gracie is having fun in school and getting to be a great reader. She went to the MHS play Beauty and the Beast for a field trip and loved it. Susie has preschool Olympics today and loves playing with Rosie. She has been talking about going to Salt Lake for Thanksgiving for about 2 weeks now, and driving us crazy. She is all packed and has about 4 swimsuits picked out to bring. And wears them daily too. Rosie is getting so grown up and is so cute. She pulls the funniest faces and does the dorkiest things.

I love my family!!! Life is great. I'm just waiting for disaster to strike, because I feel like things are going too good, and I feel like Heavenly Father has blessed us so much.

Rosie with her favorite person in the world, Her DADDY!!
Gracie being funny, More of Rosies funny faces and Rosie with her new curly hair.

A few weeks ago we went to Becky's for Gerylynn's baby blessing. Eric looks great huh!!

Becky also went through the Temple for her endowments, it was a very happy time for all our family. The cousins love spending time together

GREAT WEATHER + FAMILY = FUN!!!!

2008-11-02T13:54:00.000-08:00

This week has been the best fall weather and we took advantage of the whole week.

Monday: Gracie and Susie along with there friend spent the whole day outside playing pretend whatever, I can't ever keep up what they are playing this time, but they did build a Fort and they were the guardians and Morgan was the dog, or something like that.

Then later that night was FHE and we played a fun game of Disney's Scene It. Rosie is all about the dice and helping play the game with us.

TUESDAY: Gracie had her friends over Meg and Senora and they love Hannah Montana and so I put the music on the computer and the speaker facing out the window and they dance on the front lawn.

Gracie loves dance and gets way into it. She has dance routines for about 3 of Hannah's songs.

WEDNESDAY: Date Night. Every Wednesday me and Andy have decided to make it date night, so this week I met him at the Palisades Golf course and we had a great time talking and enjoying the fall weather. The funny thing was there was leaves all over the coarse and you could not find the balls very well because of the evening lighting and the leaves all over the place. Then after golfing we went to dinner at the new resturant in Manti, and Andy got to watch the last game of the World Series in peace. It was a fun date.

Here he goes with the long putt, and well he missed it by a foot, needless to say I was a huge distraction for his game!

THURSDAY: Susie had her Halloween school program. She sang serveral songs and shared with us things they were learning at preschool so far this year.

FRIDAY: HALLOWEEN!!!! This is a day that the girls have been waiting for all year. Gracie had a school party and the traditional Halloween parade where the elementry goes out and parades around town in their costumes. In the morning I went and helped in Gracie's classroom and helped carve pumpkins and do actitivties.

After school some of our cousins arrives and spent the rest of the weekend with us. This is Max and Maddie and Charie and Baby Andy all in their costumes

Then we headed for the Trunk or Treat. In Manti, they have a huge Trunk or Treat where they block off part of main street and have halloween music and hot choco and everyone just has fun getting their candy!!

Especially Rosie, she is loving this candy thing!

SATURDAY: The Boys went fishing (Andy, James, Bret and Ben) and the girls did crafts for all the super saturday crafts I signed up for (Heather, Laura, Sharee, Anita), and the cousins just all played and make a huge leaf pile to jump in at grandmas.

Random Pictures!!

2008-10-18T12:38:00.001-07:00

I was just unloading my camera and thought I would post some random pictures of the last few weeks. We have been super busy at the motel this fall so far and just having fun with our girls.
A quick ride on the 4-wheeler on a great afternoon.
Rosie is such a sweetheart, always so happy and doing the funniest things.

Susie is growing up fast and still knows what she wants. She is so cute and funny.We had Snow last weekend and this is a view from our front door of the storm clouds.

Good Deal on A New House and Furniture!!

2008-10-17T16:06:00.000-07:00

We are in the process of buying a 1905 Victorian Home in Manti. We are friends with the owner and she has moved to Las Vegas and has had the house for sale for a while now. Well things have just fell in place and she has agreed to owner finance and is also giving us a great deal. The house is 3 stories, 2700 square feet, 4 bedroom, 2 Bath. They have redone the majority of the house, like all the bathrooms, bedrooms, and kitchen and original wood floors. Its is on a half an acre. We are so excited.

We are getting new furniture for the motel and the family from the Salt Lake City Marriott. And for our new little House we are buying and going to rent out along with the motel for a year or so until we sale the motel. I think its funny that our family will have the same furniture.

Gone Fishing!!!!!

2008-09-28T12:17:00.000-07:00

Andy took the girls fishing Saturday and it was an adventure. They headed in the mountain on the 4-wheeler that morning and some friends of ours Josh Wolfe, Marree Hamilton and her two boys followed in the their truck. They found there spot and hiked down to the river. Andy was teaching Josh and Marree to fly fish and the kids trying to not fall in the water. Gracie was also trying to learn how to fly fish too. She said "Hey, look dad how good I can cast" and she put out the line and yanked it back and when she did that she actually hooked a fish. She didn't realize it right away but when the pole started moving she realized she had caught one and started screaming excited and scared. Funny huh!! Don't you just love having kids and there perceptions and experiences they have. She was so excited and came and told me when she first got home that "I caught a FISH!" She is so proud of her accidental catch. Susie had fun playing with the kids and she decided it would be fun to sit in the water. Then she didn't like having a wet bottom.

This week has been fun, Gracie had more soccer games and school and girl scouts and Susie is loving preschool and playing with her friends and being a big helper with Rosie. Rosie is walking around pretty good now, and so cute and funny. She is a little stubborn and knows what she wants and does not want. She love music and dances around whenever we have music playing or when she hears a song on TV.

GOALLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2008-09-17T10:41:00.000-07:00

GRACIE SCORED A GOAL---Last night Gracie had a soccer game and the game was 0-0 and there was about 2 minutes left of the game and Gracie scored a GOAL!! she not only score a goal, it was the winning and only goal of the game. She was so excited and was all smiles from ear to ear. I was so happy for her to feel that sense of accomplishment. The past few games she has been close to scoring and have been frustrated that she hasn't score yet. Especially since she is only one of two girls on her team to 10 boys. I wish I had my camera for her moment. And I think what really motivated her was that Andy promished her $5.00 for her first goal. She told everyone at the game she is going to get $5 dollars when she got home. I was a little embarssed, but I guess we know what motivates her---$$$$.

I love this time of year!!!

2008-09-15T09:26:00.000-07:00

Well the last few weeks have been fun and busy for the Moysh Family. After Gracie started school and our county fair came and went we headed for the Eastern Idaho State Fair in Blackfoot for Labor day weekend. It is a awesome fair with lots to see and do. As we were going through the barns to see the many animals, at the pig barn the "pig superintendent" asked the girls if they wanted to help feed the pigs, so they help and that was so exciting for them. Rosie loved all the animals too! The rides were great, and the food fantastic!

Watch out crazy driver!Rosie wants to be just like her dad 'Lawn Guy"

Look at those Fair Junkies!

After Labor Day weekend Gracie started soccer and Susie started preschool at SmartyPants Preschool in Manti. She has been super excited to go to preschool for a long time, uh, I would say for about a year now. On the first day of school, the parents were invited to go and be with their kids for the first day and Susie asked "Are you going to go with me today" while I was driving her to school. "Yes today I get to go with you" I said, well she said with a disappointed face "No, I don't want you to come with me. I just want to tell you what I did when you pick me up."

Needless to say, she loves school.

Manti Elementry had a Fall Carnival Fundrasier and the girls had fun climbing the rock wall, and going down, in, and around on all kinds of big blow up rides and slides. They also last week got to be in a drill team dance camp all week long and learned a dance and performed at the MHS football game last friday night. This was susie's first time performing in a big crowd and she did great. She loves to dance just as much as Gracie loves it.

Sanpete County Fair!!!

2008-08-25T11:53:00.000-07:00

FUN WEEKEND!!!

We had a fun filled weekend, it was the county fair and we did the traditional stuff; Ride the rides and go to the rodeo. It was really fun and Rosie loved seeing the animals in the barns and at the rodeo. For the first 20 minutes of the rodeo she just sat there and stared and stared at all that was going on. The girls had lots of fun, and after the rodeo me and Gracie got to have a special time and go on the big kid rides until 11:00pm.

We also had some friends come visit too for the weekend. Jared "Action" Jackson and Tami Wiser who are unoffically engaged. Jared was a friend of Andy's in High School and Tami is Andy's Cousin and they started dating a few months ago, and they came down for the pageant and Jared had a week vacation this past week, so we invited them down to Manti to have some fun. Andy and Jared went golfing, we all went fly fishing and 4-wheeling and went to the fair too. I hope they had fun, and we all had fun hanging out and the girls loved Aunt Tami and Uncle Jared alot too!

Back to School!!!

This week was a big week for Gracie because she started school on Tuesday. She is in First Grade this year and has Mrs. Evans as her teacher. She was way ready to start. Her favorite thing about the first day was School Lunch, because they had Chocolate Milk, Yum!! This week she also started soccer practice and girl scouts. Its been a fun week for her and us to see her grow up and experience her first days of all-day school.

Summer Showers

A about a week ago it was a hot sunny day, when all of the sudden the dark clouds rolled over the mountians and we got hit will a big thunderstorm. The girls had so much fun playing in the rain with their umbrellas.

Andy went on the west side of town after it stopped raining and and took a few pictures of the temple. It is an amazing sight, we feel very bless to have a temple in our small town.

Palisades.

2008-07-30T15:40:00.000-07:00

A bunch of my friends and their kids decided ,since summer is almost over and none of us had been to Palisades lake this year, (which is only 10 minutes away) decided to go on Tuesday. It was fun just relaxing in the sun, and all the girls loved to water, Rosie was so cute just playing in the shallow, just trying to drink the water--GROSS!! And all the other kids trying to catch the minnows and swimming to the dock and paddling on paddle boats. It is such a fun place to go and relax.

Summer Fun!!

2008-07-30T15:31:00.000-07:00

This past weekend we went to Blackfoot, ID to see Andy's Family and had a Moysh Family get-to-gether. Andy's Aunt Tami made a Moysh Family History Book for everyone and we talked about his Great Grandfather Mojzis (name later changed to Moysh in America) who came to America via Ellis Island when he was young from Czechoslovakia and how the Moysh's came to be. It was great to hear about the Moysh family history. We also went to Lava Hot Springs and went swimming. IT WAS GREAT FUN!!

This is Gracie going down the water slide about 20 times.

Ring Around the ROSIE!!!

I just wanted to post some cute pictures of Rosie I took the other day. She is growing up and starting to walk with the help of her cart. She is so fun, and we are glad she is a part of our family.

LAMB DAYS!!!

2008-07-20T12:56:00.000-07:00

We went to Lamb Days in Fountain Green this weekend. The girls had fun playing games and petting the lambs. Andy eat a few of the popular lamb sandwiches. We also went to the fish hatchery and saw a million little fish and a few thousand big Albino Trout. It was a fun filled day in Sanpete.

Mountian Martian

Gracie and Andy went on a day long 4-wheeling/fishing adventure in the mountains up Manti Canyon and on Skyline drive and to Duck Fork Reservoir. We thought it was funny she never took her helmet off the whole time, even when she wasn't on the 4-Wheeler.

Fun at Capital Reef National Park

2008-07-06T14:27:00.000-07:00

Thursday July 3rd we took a day trip down to Captial Reef with the girls, my mom and sister Laura and her family, Bret, Max and Maddie. We had a great time seeing all the beautiful landscape. It was hot especially on our hike though a river wash, but we cooled off in the the river later swimming under a waterfall. And Gracie even jumped off the cliffs into the water about 20 ft. high. She was very brave. All the girls are such water bugs. They can never get enough.

Gracie, Susie, Max and Maddie found a Hide-Out on our Hike!!!
