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!

Date Night!

Saturday we had a fun date night! It all started last Sunday when we were hanging out on the grass at my moms house for Sunday dinner and Amy said to me and Stacia, "what are you guys doing this weekend?" We said, "Nothing", she said, "Lets get together and go eat or something" we said, "sounds fun!" And then at the last minute my mom and dad decided to come! We had a fun time though! It was fun just hanging out and being rowdy!

I havent quite figured it out! I just dont know why he looks like this in all of our pictures, here I am thinking he is smiling nice and look what he does!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kade is rubbing off on Sam! Its time to split them up and get back to a normal life!

Josh and Amy!!!! They are so cute!

Um.................A..........Scarey..........dont be afraid!

Mom and dad hanging out in the back seat!

Happy Easter!!!!!!!

We hope you all had a wonderful Easter weekend! We sure had a blast!! As you can see Kade acts like a kid when any holiday comes around! Actually..........he acts like a kid all the time but you know what I mean! We spent the weekend at the Church's house.........and had a lot of fun coloring Easter eggs, playing games, and making yummy food! We even hid the eggs that we colored for Cody and Shannon's kids to find the next morning! (Kade's brother) I love Easter and I love being with family!!!! Its also a wonderful time to reflect on our Savior, his life and teachings and the resurrection. Im greatful for the gospel and for this Easter time!

We had so much fun with the eggs........looking like aliens! Kade's mom and I were laughing so hard!!!! As you scroll down, dont be scared!!!!

Yup even Dennis and Rhonda colored eggs!

Free puppies:)

Are'nt these puppies so cute!!!!!!!! They are Kade's brothers. I know his brother is wanting to get rid of them so if anyone wants one, you can let me know:) After playing with them, I wanted to pack all four of them up in our truck and take them home!! But I had to stop myself, since my back yard is pretty small. It was fun watching Kade and Bo(nephew) wrestle around with the dogs. Thats a lot of fur in one picture!

Skipping rocks!

The other night we were out taking some pictures at Utah Lake and I caught this awesome photo of Kade skipping a rock across the water. He can seriously skip like 15 times!!!! In the picture, it shows about 5 skips but it went about 10 times! I love watching him do this cause he is so good at it! And then theres me! And Im lucky if I get 3 skips!!!!!
