LDS Realationships Conference @ Philmont

We Dropped off Josh at the MTC in Prove on June 24, It was an exciting time for all of us and also a sad time seeing our youngest off on a mission we are now officially empty nesters!

Philmont was an awesome experience, we learned so much about the Aaronic priesthood and scouting, the spirit was strong there and my testimony was strengthened. It was great to be able to spend time with Kathy Jo, She is a wonderful wife. Enjoy the pictures. We were able to stop off in some of the small towns where Kathy's ancestors were from the one headstone is Kathy's great grandmother, it was lots of fun tramping around southern Utah.

Roasting Marshmellows over the fire were very good. We finally had to put them away or Katelyn may have eaten the whole bag.
Cameron loved being outside playing on the lawn and watching his Dad, Mother and Grandpa fish.

Katelyn finally got her bike we got her for christmas. We put it together. She then had lots of fun riding it.

It has been really nice having family around this week!

We were excited to see Ben and Erin's new Baby boy, what a beautiful baby! So glad that mother and baby are both doing well. We all got to hold him, and watch as Ben changed his diaper. (He needs practice) I will leave all the details to Ben and Erin on their blog. Enjoy the pictures.

It has been an interesting week here. It marks the 4th week in a row we have not run the warehouse. I am going a little crazy! The bright side is I got to go with one of the guys to Palisades Resivoir fishing and it was awesome i caught more and bigger fish than I have in a long time, GREAT FUN! Yesterday Kathy and I went on a short hike out in the Lava's south and west of Idaho Falls, it was fun, but rugged. I am including pictures of that event and some of the creatures that were at our place the last couple of days. Enjoy!

Some pictures of Josh opening up his mission call to Orsorno, Chili. It is very exciting for us to see him serve a mission.

Yesterday I got to fish off my lawn and caught two nice Brown trout and a large Whitefish. As you can see the water is high. Also a picture of Sister Stacey Huffaker When she returned from her mission, and a Picture of Springtime in the Rockies.

Behold the voles artwork.

The dead grass is now removed, the lawn has been fertilized and watered. Now we wait and see what will happen.
