The last few weeks in photos...

July 27, 2009 - WENT BOATING WITH THE HINCKLEY FAMILY FOR MAC'S BIRTHDAY! BEAUTIFUL DAY AT WILLARD BAY - BUT I DIDN'T TAKE MY CAMERA WITH ME :(

MY boat! My testosterone overflows when I drive it!!
...balloons in front of our house...
JUNE 28, 2008 - HAD A BIG BIRTHDAY BASH FOR MAC AT HIS GRAVESIDE WITH HINCKLEY'S, MAUGHAN'S (AND EXTENDED MAUGHAN'S) AND MOWERS, AS WELL AS MANY FRIENDS WE CONSIDER FAMILY!!

...Josh and Cali serving cake...

...balloons sent to heaven for Mac to play with...

...spoiled little kid!...

...Cali insisted on taking a picture of me (so Colby held me in place). Not bad, Lou!



JULY 13-17 WENT TO GIRL'S CAMP WITH SOME GREAT MEN AND WOMEN!!
...Griff cutting firewood for us womenfolk...
...(L-R)Sue Burton (Stake YW 1st counselor), Cristy (Camp Director), Michelle Matthews (Stake YW Pres.)



THEN ALEX, MIKE AND I WENT TO PICK TAYLOR UP FROM HER SUMMER JOB AT THE HIGH ADVENTURE BOY SCOUT CAMP NOT FAR FROM JACKSON HOLE, WYOMING! WE'RE VERY PROUD OF OUR COPE COURSE INSTRUCTOR!!
...Taylor after shimmying up a pole...
...Mike and Alex on way to hotel swimming pool...


...these 2 missed each other A LOT!!...

... me with Taylor and Alli after Destiny (not shown) pulled me up the Giant's Ladder! Thanks Destiny for helping me... wouldn't have been able to do it without your help. It was a great time; and I did it!! I'm proud of myself, but also disgusted with how out of shape I am.

... my 2 studs getting ready for the cope course...


...Alex at the END of the zipline. He loved it!!...


CALI AND JOSH CAME UP FOR THE WEEKEND AND SINCE TJ WAS DONE, WE VISITED JACKSON HOLE!!
...fam in front of the antler arch...


WE GOT PICTURES TAKEN WITH SOME OF THE LOCALS...

...a relative maybe?...


...MADE FOOLS OF OURSELVES WITH A PACK OF WOLVES....


...PLAYED AT A COOL PARK...


...AND SAW A WILD WEST SHOOT OUT IN TOWN SQUARE!


ON THE DRIVE HOME WE HAD TO TAKE OUR PICTURE NEXT TO MAUGHAN ROAD!!
WE WERE HOME WITH TJ FOR 24 HOURS THEN MIKE, ALEX AND I HIT THE ROAD AGAIN, THIS TIME TO IDAHO FOR UNCLE RON'S, JED'S AND JORDAN'S FUNERALS.

... it was very humbling to see 3 caskets.

...Ron's grandchildren and Jordan's children let balloons go...


...AND WE COULDN'T LEAVE IDAHO WITHOUT VISITING THE FARM. IT WASN'T QUITE THE SAME SINCE GRANDMA AND GRANDPA HAD NOT LIVED THERE FOR A YEAR AND A HALF, BUT THERE ARE SOME GREAT MEMORIES THERE!!
...the shed / airplane hangar where 'the' plane was kept. Grandpa and Jed re-built the plane, and then grandpa died while working on it (fell or had a stroke?) and Jed, Jordan and Uncle Ron were killed in a crash in the same plane.



...looking out into the fields. Mike spent many a day out in them thar fields!

Wow, you guys have been so busy. I love seeing all your updates. I keep thinking that Willow Canyon won't be the same without our "Alex" there. Keep me updated on how things are going. I will miss seeing both of you around the school. You must "pop" in for a visit now and then.
