Tyrone finally caught some fish after all of the kids came back to the camp site.

Clint loved sitting in this chair.





We usually go camping every Memorial weekend but this year we postponed it because Tracy and Hannah came for a visit and Tracy wanted to go camping. It was a fun weekend. Everyone seemed to have a great time. I have more pictures and stories to tell but I have to go for now. I will post more later.

Graduation Day

This is a little late but I have been slacking on my posting. My nephew Todd graduated high school at the end of May. I cannot believe that he is out of high school and headed off to college.

Bad faces

These are the Sunbeams showing us there "bad" faces. It was soooooo cute!

One With Nature

A couple of weeks ago we took one of Tyrone's friends from work out to Camp Wood for a cookout and to go spot lighting. The boys were to excited to roast marshmellows but they insisted on finding their own sticks for the roasting instead of using the clean roasting sticks that we brought. It's a good thing that a little dirt never hurt anyone.

black thumb

I know this may seem like a silly blog post but I am so excited. I have had these roses for over a year and they started blooming earlier this month and when I looked out the door this morning I noticed that I had roses and they are beautiful!!!! I also got a really pretty plant for Easter and it is still alive and doing well. Maybe I do not have a black thumb any more.

zoo

We went to the Phoenix Zoo the other day. Things sure have changed in the six years sense I have been there. They have a couple of different areas where you can feel what different animals feel like. We all had a great time.

bunnies, eggs, & chicks

This is the 2nd time that my pictures have done this. For some reason I cannot get them to move. These are pictures of the kids coloring eggs. Douglas kept picking up the already colored eggs and trying to stick them into the purple water. Luckily we stopped him before he accomplished his goal. I think they cracked half of the eggs because they would just drop them into the water instead of putting them in gently. At least they had fun which is what really matters.

I love this time of year because it makes me stop and think about everything that our Savior did for me. I hope that everyone has a great Easter Sunday.
