Camping at Strawberry Res 2009

DO THEY EVER GROW UP..??

LAST SUMMER WE WENT CAMPING FOR

BART'S ANNUAL BIRTHDAY PARTY,

IT WAS RAINY AND CHILLY,

BART DECIDED WE NEEDED TO HANG A TARP

OVER OUR EATING AREA.

THERE WERE ALL KINDS OF YOUNG GUYS

TO CLIMB THE TREES TO HANG THE TARP

BUT "NO" BART COULD NOT LET THEM SHOW UP

HIS TREE CLIMBING SKILLS.. HAHA

SO UP THE TREES HE WENT..

I REALLY DON'T THINK SOME MEN EVER GROW UP..

BUT WE WERE DRY

AS LONG AS WE TOOK A BROOM TO THE TARP EVERY 5 MINUTES..

WHAT A GREAT WEEKEND

MATT CLIMBED UP THIS BROKEN LOG

TO HANG THE LOW SIDE OF THE TARP,

I THINK THE LOG BROKE JUST AS HE WAS DONE.

BART AFTER HE FELL OUT OF THE LAST TREE..

ACE WAS HAVING A GREAT TIME

RUNNING OFF WITH THE ROPE.

BART AND SOME OF THE BOYS WENT OUT IN MATT'S

BOAT TO FISH ON THE LAKE..

IT STARTED TO RAIN, OTHER BOATS WERE PASSING THEM

BY TO GET BACK TO THE DOCK, MATT'S FISHING

BOAT JUST HAD A LITTLE TROLLING MOTOR ON IT,

SO IT WAS NOT VERY FAST. NEEDLESS TO SAY THE

GARBAGE BAGS THEY TOOK FOR RAIN PONCHOS DID NOT WORK

VERY WELL AND THE GUYS CAME BACK DRENCHED THROUGH.

IT WAS ANOTHER CLOSE CALL IN THE ADVENTURE

WE CALL : LIFE WITH BART.. :)

WHAT A CUTIE...

FISHING ON THE LOGAN

WHILE WE WERE VISITING UTAH THIS PAST

WEEKEND. WE TOOK OUR OLDEST

GRANDSON FISHING ON THE LOGAN RIVER.

NOW I DON'T KNOW HOW WELL MOST OF YOU

KNOW THE PETERSON'S, BUT YOU

PROBABLY KNOW THAT THEY ARE

VERY COMPETITIVE... AFTER I CAUGHT

THE FIRST FISH AND LET ACE REEL IT IN,

I MOVED UP RIVER A FEW FEET.

I CAST MY FLY INTO A GREAT RIPPLE

AND SURE ENOUGH A LARGE

CUTTHROAT ROUNDED OVER MY FLY.

I SET THE HOOK AND I MISSED.. ( I RARELY MISS)

AND I HEARD BART MAKE A COMMENT

THAT I WAS GETTING SLOW. I CAST AGAIN

AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. I DID THAT

ABOUT 6 TIMES. BART HAD CAUGHT A

FEW LITTLE ONES THAT HE LET ACE REEL IN.

WE WERE GETTING READY TO GO DOWN STREAM

WHEN I WENT TO HOOK MY FLY ON MY POLE,

AND TO MY FRUSTRATION IT WOULD NOT HOOK.

THE HOOK PART OF MY FLY HAD BEEN BROKE OFF.

OH THE THINGS THOSE PETERSON'S WILL

DO TO WIN...!!!!!!

MATTHEW AND TREAVER STOPPED

BY ON THEIR WAY DEER HUNTING

AND MADE FUN OF ME... SO I HAD BART

THROW A ROCK AT THEIR FEET TO GET

THEM WET.. IT WORKED, IT SPLASHED THEM GOOD.

THEY YELLED THAT BART WAS LUCKY

THAT I WAS BY THEM OR THEY WOULD

RETURN THE FAVOR... THEN BART TOLD

THEM THAT I WAS THE ONE THAT TOLD THEM

TO THROW THE ROCKS...

SO YOU GUESSED IT...

ROCKS CAME FLYING AT ME..

THEY GOT MY HAIR WET..!!!!

AND I THINK I MIGHT HAVE BROKE A NAIL... HAHA

FYI: THE DATE IN INCORRECT ON THE PICS

MY CAMERA WAS STUCK ON THIS DATE..:)

OUR YARD, FOGGY JULY MORNING, BABY QUAIL

MOST MORNINGS WE HAVE ANYWHERE FROM

5-25 QUAIL IN OUR YARD

ON THIS MORNING WE HAD A LOT OF BABY QUAIL

I COUNTED 21 QUAIL AND ONE TWEETY BIRD.

THIS TWEETY BIRD WAS NOT HAPPY WITH THE QUAIL

EATING OUT OF IT'S BIRD HOUSE.

IT KEPT CHASING THE QUAIL AWAY.

IT WAS FUN TO WATCH.

THIS LOOKS LIKE A GREAT FATHER AND SON MOMENT. :)
WE WOKE UP TO FOG IN LATE JULY.
YOU CAN BARELY SEE THE FOG RAINBOW
THAT APPEARED TO BE HOVORING OVER THE HOUSE.
THE PICTURE DOES NOT DO IT JUSTICE,
IT WAS COOL.

THE FINISHED FRONT YARD.

BART IS A PERFECTIONIST WHEN IT COMES

TO HIS LAWNS. THEY HAVE TO BE LEVEL

AND PERFECT BEFORE HE WILL PLANT.

AND IT PAYS OFF WITH A BEAUTIFUL

FINISHED LAWN.

I BET HE IS GLAD THAT THAT PROJECT IS DONE.

WE HAVE A WONDERFUL YARD THAT WE CAN ENJOY.

UPDATED JUST LIKE YOU ASKED...!!!!!!

OKAY LORA... JUST LIKE YOU ASKED...

YOU SAID: UPDATE YOUR BLOG

WITH CUTE PICTURES OF ME....

HAHAHA

HOPE IT MEETS YOUR CRITERIA

The Yard is almost there... Just a few more projects... YEAH..!!!!!!!

THIS PAST WEEKEND BART AND I

SPREAD 25 TON OF ROCK

AROUND IN OUR GARDENS.

IT WAS WINDY AND RAINY

BUT THE DOWNPOURS SEEMED TO DANCE

ALL AROUND US.

LIGHTENING AND THUNDER

FLASHED ON ALL SIDES.

IT DID NOT START TO RAIN ON US UNTIL

MONDAY NIGHT AS WE WERE

TURNING OFF THE PORCH LIGHTS

AND LOCKING UP.

WE STILL HAVE A LITTLE BIT TO DO.

WE WILL BE HAPPY WHEN IT IS ALL DONE.

EVEN IF IT MEANS I HAVE TO MOW THE LAWN...:)

ON MOTHER'S DAY WEEKEND,

WE WENT TO UTAH FOR SEVERAL THINGS.

GRANDMA'S 75TH BIRTHDAY,

RUSTY'S BLESSING DAY,

BREAKFAST ON MOTHER'S DAY,

MOTHER'S DAY PARTY'S

SOFTBALL GAME

AND

WORKING IN FRANK & KAYLA'S YARD

FRANK RAN THE TRENCHER

PAPA AND ACE RAN THE BOBCAT..!!

THANKS JED FOR LETTING US USE IT.. :)

AS YOU CAN SEE, ACE LOVED IT..!!!!

THIS IS JUST A SAMPLE OF THE FUN BART HAS...

NOTICE HOW CLOSE HE COMES TO THE DOOR OF MY CAR..

I WAS TRYING TO GET ACE HOME TO WESTPOINT SO

I COULD BABYSIT ACE AND RUSTY WHILE

THEIR MOMMY AND DADDY WENT OUT ON A DATE.

BUT PAPA KEPT HIM A GOING ON THE BOBCAT... HOW FUN

ACE SANG WHEELS ON THE BUS ALL THE WAY HOME...

I LOVE FLOWERS AND GARDENING

I LOVE TO GARDEN

AND I LOVE FLOWERS

I HAVE TO PLANT MY FLOWERS

IN POTS HERE IN

PUEBLO WEST.

BUT IT STILL

GIVES ME A CERTAIN PEACE

WHEN I AM DIGGING AND PLAYING

IN THE DIRT.

AND THEN THIS IS WHAT YOU GET

BEAUTY

MY LITTLE RUSS "BABY" T

MY RUSS " BABY " T

AS HIS BROTHER ACE CALLS HIM.

HE IS SUCH A FUN CUTE BABY.

I CAN'T WAIT TO SPEND MORE TIME WITH

RUSTY AND ACE

IN JUNE.. :)

OH.. AND THE REST OF MY KIDS.. HAHA

OUCH..!!!!! THIS POST NOT FOR THE SQUIMISH.. :)

ABOUT A MONTH AGO.. MY HUSBAND,

THE "GENERAL MANAGER"

WAS MANAGING A GEAR BOX AT WORK.

ABOUT 1/2 HOUR AFTER A SAFETY MEETING

ON PINCH POINTS MIND YOU...

WELL...

THE GEAR BOX SLIPPED OFF THE SUPPORT

AND YOU GUESSED IT..

PINCHED BART'S FINGER..

CUTTING IT ALL BUT OFF.

IT BROKE IN TWO

JUST PAST THE 1ST KNUCKLE.

HANGING ON BY A TENDON, NERVES

AND SKIN.

I TOOK HIM TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM.

WE WERE LUCKY THAT A HAND SURGEON

WAS CLOSE BY. HE DRILLED A PIN

STRAIGHT DOWN BART'S FINGER.

I GOT TO WATCH AND THE DOCTOR

EXPLAINED EVERYTHING IN DETAIL

WHILE HE WAS DOING IT.

THEN HE SEWED THE FINGER UP

AND TOLD MR. GENERAL MANAGER TO

GENERAL MANAGE FROM HIS DESK... :)

WE WERE LUCKY, WHEN THEY TOOK THE

BANDAGES OFF, IT WAS STILL PINK.

AND ALTHOUGH HE HAS AN INFECTION IN

HIS BONE AND LOTS OF SWELLING.

IT SEEMS TO BE OKAY.

TODAY THE DOCTOR TOOK THE PIN OUT.

I WANTED TO GO TO WATCH,

BUT WE WERE HAVING ROCK DELIVERED.

THE DOCTOR KNEW THAT MR. GENERAL MANAGER

WAS NOT MANAGING FROM HIS DESK

BY HOW BENT AND TWISTED THE PIN WAS.

HE IS NOW ON HIS 3RD ANTIBIOTIC

AND SHOULD RECOVER WITH HIS FINGER

INTACT.

AND HOPEFULLY HE WON'T FEEL HIS

HEART BEAT IN HIS FINGER MUCH LONGER...:)
