We have been very poor at updating our website, we will attempt to do better....

Here we are on our annual river running activitiy. This has turned out to be more than just our family, but we enjoy each year and it is fun to bring people that have never been white-water rafting on the river. They are surprised about how much water can get in your raft and still remain floating...

We also had a great trip to pick Bryce up from his Army basic training. It warmed your heart to see all these young men march into the Hall and have them present themselves to their officers for final review. It gives you such a renewed sense of what this country was made from. Those that know Bryce really well, know that it also gives you a new sense of fear, Bryce with real big GUNS !!!



While on the trip we were able to stop at Clay and Laura's to see their family in Oklahoma. While there Clay had arranged for us to spend time in the Air Force simulators. It was really fun and only one person got air sick...

Clay now has a his first assigned location, so they are moving to Spokane, WA. He will be at this location for a few years.

We will enjoy having them much closer to home so that Nancy will be able to visit more often.



Becky was also able to travel to Oklahoma and be with Laura as Clay was away on one of his training missions for several weeks. Becky loves to travel, just look at this picture, it is worth a 1,000 trips or words, I keep getting that wrong, but Becky keeps reminding me with little hints all the time.





Julie is just quitely passing the time until she leaves for her mission at end of November. To show how quite things are, this is what she did on her birthday weekend. She first hikes the Falls up the Gorge.






Then she talks a friend and Shane into going bungie jumping off a 200ft bridge. And all this before lunch.






We had a great time taking Julie to the Temple for the first time and enjoy having her enjoy the spirit of the Temple.
She is going to Brazl at the end of November for her mission. She has been learning how to speak Portuguese. It is going to be a great time for her and Brazl.






Shane was able to graduate from Middle school and is now on his way to High school, driver licenses and all that comes with this new age.

He got his Eagle Scout award and passed his drivers training class. Now if he could only pass Dad driving test he may get to drive....
