Scout Camp 2008

Terance & Taylor went to scout camp up in Kolob this week. I got a phone call from Terance today saying that they were on their way off the mountain because he had to take Taylor to Instacare. I guess Taylor was in the lake just a little more than waist high in the water and went to dive in the rest of the way. He hit a big sharp rock and got a pretty deep cut--right between the eyes. His forehead was also a little scraped up and he has braces dent marks on his lips. A little bit of clean out and 4 stitches later--they went back up the hill to scout camp. I took pictures, but Terance took my camera back to scout camp, so when they get home, I will post some pictures. --Cuz wounds heal and chicks dig scars!

Ranch Weekend

Well, instead of cleaning out the garage or something we really needed to do, Terance decided we should go to the ranch because his good friend Jerry's girlfriend (of the season) wanted to go camping. So a weekend we had at home turned out a weekend away from home. It was fun. They played horseshoes and ate good and we played cards. It is cooler than St. George. Whitney especially loves to turn into a big dustball. Taylor loves to ride the 4 wheeler and his dirt bike. Terance loves to ride his horses, and Emily had fun building the fire and even shooting. I enjoy the quiet laid back time without scheduling (except of course, Mom I'm hungry when's lunch?) We (Emily, Whitney, and I) just barely got home. (Terance & Taylor stayed an extra night) It rained most of the way home. We came home through Zion's and that was pretty cool. I just wish it would have been lighter outside, because my favorite is Zion's when it is raining. When we came out of the tunnel, we just entered a big mountain cloud. It was a little scary at first, but then it thinned out. Even though it was raining, I just left my window open and enjoyed the peaceful rain! I had to stop and get a coke in Hurricane to stay awake for the rest of the ride home which is why I am blogging this late. I am AWAKE now! It is going to be miserable getting up in the morning and trying to get ready for work! Next--I guess I really mean this week, Taylor & Terance have scout camp--I think they are going to Kolob. Friday and Saturday (during scout camp) Taylor has ball games up in Spanish Fork for a Pioneer Tournament. I don't know if we will be headed to Spanish Fork this weekend or not! We'll see! I guess I will post pictures tomorrow or so when I find out where I packed my camera! :)

Time For a Break!

O.K. we are all exhausted! I am still trying to recover from last week. Taylor's all star team played Monday-Thursday in Cedar City. We did not get home each night until 10:00. When we weren't in Cedar, we were at work. By the time the weekend came, we were all shot. Now it is Monday and back to the grindstone. Taylor doesn't have a baseball tournament until next weekend. He also has scout camp next week, so we will see how that goes. It has been so quiet without Em & Whit here. I miss the stinkers! I can't wait until Wedensday and I get to go pick them up.

Baseball

Taylor's All-Star team played Washington today. We lost--but Taylor did really well. He had a couple of good hits! He started out in left field, switched to first base, then pitched a couple of innings, then went back to first. His ball games are so fun! It just sucks that we have to travel so far!

Fourth of July

What a busy weekend! What a fun weekend! Thursday, Taylor had 2 baseball games in Spanish Fork (they won both) and Friday he had 2 baseball games in Heber (won 1 lost 1). Friday night, we had tickets to Stadium of Fire in Provo. All 3 kids loved Blue Man Group & Emily & Whitney both loved Miley Cyrus. (Taylor got a little tired!) The fireworks were amazing! Saturday, Terance had to go to the "Mother Land" (also known as Cabelas)--we were there for 4 hours!!! We stopped at Provo's Freedom Festival and dropped Emily off with her aunt & uncle and headed up to Salt Lake and went to a Bees baseball game. We stayed at Caroline & Matthews apartment. We finally got home last night at 10:30 p.m. Today, I work for a few hours and then we are headed to Cedar City for more baseball games! Taylor made the all-star team for Pony League!
