Part of Last Weekend

The ending part of our weekend was up at Huntington Lake. We took my mom and dad up there with us to fish, and my brother and two of his boys came up too. This was Kade's tiger trout that he caught.

I love this picture of my mom and dad. My dad made a little spot for them to sit down with some pine limbs. So they just hung out underneath this tree. It was so cute :)

Our Memorial Day Weekend.......

Kade says: Hmmm, we are never going to finish this dang garden! hehe!

Our Memorial Day weekend consisted of a few different events. On Saturday, we planted a garden at Kade's parents house. It is a big family garden that we all chipped in on. As you can see pictured above, Kade and Ty are wearing very expensive, brand new, LOVE-IT-Gotta have it, coal miners hats. They dug around in the storage area in the basement and managed to find these beautiful hats. I really almost couldnt get it off of Kade! He wanted to wear it the whole day!

Just another adorable pose!

We also went out to the cemetary with some lilacs to put on the graves. These were some of the flowers we took.

And another shot of the lilacs! I love flowers!

Kade and I at the cemetary.

This is all of us by Shara's grave (Kade's sister). We also put flowers on Aunt Erlene's and baby Rachel's graves. Its nice to go out to the cemetary to honor your loved ones and remember them! We also went over to my parents house and went out to the cemetary with them. We ended our wonderful weekend with a trip up the canyon to go fishing, which I will have to blog about later:) But for now, I must go to bed, it is way past my bed time! (Its really not 9:29, its almost 11!)

Grandpa Cook's Funeral

Grandpa Cook passed away last Wed. He is my dad's father. He was a great man! He has so much family who loved him! It was a beautiful day, and it was so nice to see all of my family and extended family. You can't help but feel all the love that people show when something like this happens. It really brings you close together. The funeral services were so nice. Everyone who spoke and took part did so well. You could really feel the spirit. I love all of the flower arrangements that were given. My grandpa had sheep most of his life, so the flowers above have a little sheep camp wagon in them.

This was my grandpas cowboy hat.

My grandpa served in World War Two so this is the flower arrangement that my family got for him. I love the flags, I love red white and blue! I love what the flag stands for!

My immediate family. My siblings, and my mom and dad at the cemetary.

At the cemetary the American Legion presented my dad and my uncle with an American Flag that was draped on the casket, because they served in Vietnam. It was so neat to see, it just brings tears to my eyes. I love patiotism and I love this country. Lots of wonderful men have died defending this country!

We love you Grandpa! We will love you forever!

Mom and Dad.

Fishing for FHE!

Last night for FHE we decided to go to Strawberry Reservoir! What a blast! We caught so many fish! And they were all huge!!! I love love love fishing when you are catching them left and right! We only kept one because you can only keep them if they are 22 inches or above. But thats ok, that just means theres always really big fish in there! We both caught the same amount of fish so the bets we made of out fishing each other were void! Thats ok!

I liked this sillouette of Kade.

Here's the lunker! Kade cought the one that we kept! He was a real fatty! Kade was pretty excited!

Just me reeling in my fishy.

Yeeey!

This is our double catch. Kade snagged his first and I was reeling in at the same time, so I thought I'd better just hurry and reel in so I could take a picture of him, but then I snagged one too! So we were both reeling our fish in at the same time! It was so much fun! We were laughing so hard.

Its kinda fun when you find treasures!

I would be really scared for my life if I were that crawdad! That big tounge wouldnt be very pleasant coming right at you!

Awwww!

I love this pic! Poor little fish, so deceived!

A Perfect Day!

I remember posting a while back and I talked about one of those perfect days that you have, that are so awesome that you wish you could re-live again and again! Well, Saturday was another one of those days! Kade and I went camping down on Boulder Mountain, on Friday night and stayed till Saturday night. In the morning on Saturday, Kade and I got up to go look for turkeys, (the turkey hunt is going on right now and Kade has a tag), but it was pretty rainy and muddy so we ended up going back to the trailer. We made some breakfast/lunch, took a nap, and played kanasta. By that time the sun had come out so we decided to hang out, outside the trailer. We played a little frisbee golf, and another game with the frisbees that we kinda just made up. Then we took off for a little 4-wheeler ride. When we got back, we decided to go to the upper lake to see how far we could make it, and if we were able to make it, then we would fish. Well, we got to the snow line and no further! So we sat there for a minute and decided to try and call a turkey in just for fun. Well, to our surprise, one came right into us! So Kade pulled out the bow and stuck him! It was crazy! He's never got a turkey before so he was pretty excited, and to get it with his bow is even more amazing! He's pretty much Robin Hood! If I were lost and starving in the mountains, I would want to be lost with him! After he got his turkey, we loaded it up, and headed for home! What a great weekend!

Kade is enjoying his yummy cinnamon/raisin oatmeal! And when he eats, he doesnt mess around.....look at him, he's all over that food, elbows and all!

I dont know about any of you, but I've never seen an M&M vending machine before! I thought it was rather unusual, so I had to get a picture of it. It was in one of the little towns that we stopped in to get gas on our way.

This is on the way home, driving off into the sunset!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish good days would never end. But its good we have our memories!
