Stadium Of Fire

The 4th of July this year we spent in Provo for the Carrie Underwood concert. We left Logan early Saturday morning and of course stopped to do some shopping at Gateway! That was Jon's favorite thing! Then we headed to BYU and walked around the campus. The kids shopped in the bookstore and then we had hamburgers for dinner from the Canon Center. The concert and fireworks were amazing. Brianna was with us but she had a ticket by

her friend Ashley for the concert.

EFY 2010

Brianna & Heidi were able to attend EFY here in Logan. They left each morning early and then came home at night. It was fun to hear all about their day and what they had learned or done when they got home. Their cousins Taylor & Brooklyn came and stayed with us for the week.

High Uinta Bike Race

This is Jon's 4th year doing this bike race. It starts in Kamas, UT and goes 80 miles over to Evanston, WY

Jon on the climb! It is pretty much 47 miles of climbing from the start and then the rest is downhill but you have to get to the top first!

Island Park

Jon took the kids on a mountain bike ride while we were in Island Park for the week. The kids said it was a hard ride! Jon said it was beautiful and easy!

West Yellowstone

We decided this trip to tryout fishing. We bought some poles and drove to Henry's Lake and fished for 3 hours. We didn't catch any fish and no bites!

We got home from the lake and Jack wanted to fish more so Jon took him down to the dock. Jack casted his little spiderman fishing pole and on the first cast he had a fish! It was a rainbow fish about 14 inches long! Unfortunately Jon didn't take the camera because he didn't think they would catch anything so we have no proof! But Jack was too excited to tell the rest of us for it to just be a story.

Caleb's Baptism

Caleb turned 8 in May and was baptized today. It was a very special day and he was so excited but very nervous also. We appreciate everyone who came and all the gifts and phone calls.

Grandma & Grandpa Robison were able to be here for the special day. Grandma & Grandpa Smith are serving a mission in Palmyra right now.

Caleb was able to have his own baptism so it was just our family that did the program. All the kids had a part and they did a great job preparing. It was great to just sit and be able to listen to ours kids do the music, prayers and talks. (The only decent family picture we got. As you can see Jack is his normal goofball self!)

Girls Camp

I had the opportunity to go to girls camp this year with Brianna and Heidi. We had a great week up Logan canyon at Camp Lomia. It was fun to get to know the girls and the other leaders a little better.

A few weeks before we left all the young women got together to tie dye our camp shirts. They all turned out so different!

Windcave Hike

On our way to Bear Lake for the day

Here we go out on the canoe on Bear Lake!

Yard Work Again!

We spent one whole saturday working putting down new bark in the front of our house. It was a big job and the kids all had to help. We would fill home depot buckets and then it was their job to take it and spread it in the planters. It looks so nice, I just wish the bark would stay looking nice and not all faded from the sun.

After working in the yard all day Brianna took the boys to an air show at our airport. They had fun sitting and looking at all the planes.

Memorial Day

We spent Memorial Day in Island Park and on our way home we stopped in Idaho Falls to go and take flowers to some of the graves. It was nice to take our kids and telling them a little bit about some of the ancestors that they didn't know.

1st Pinewood Derby

Caleb was so excited to turn 8 so he could make a car for the pinewood derby. I don't know how much he helped with the car but he did do a little bit on it. It was fun to watch all the cars and learn what we need

to do for next year.

Thanks Jon for the long hours you spent making and perfecting the car!

Jack's Preschool Graduation

Jack graduated from preschool today. Wow! What a sad day for me. It is fun to see your kids growing up but hard at the same time. He is so excited to go to Kindergarten next year and ride the bus. He has loved preschool and all the things that he has learned.

Brianna's Sprint Triathlon

Brianna decided a few months ago that she wanted to try and do a sprint triathlon. Her school was having one so so started training for a few months. She worked hard preparing and was able to accomplish her goal.

Brianna & our neighbor Tara Goldman getting ready to start the triathlon

We bought Brianna a rode bike and she only was able to go out and use it a couple of times before the actual race so she was a little nervous! She did great!

Way to go Brianna! We are proud of you for setting a goal and finishing it!

Spring Piano Recital

Mallory and Heidi had their piano recital and did a great job. I'm so thankful to have kids who love to play the piano and who I don't have to beg to practice. They love to just sit down and play anytime of the day. Caleb also started piano this year and has worked hard and is doing great on all his songs. Brianna has been teaching him, so he didn't have a recital.

3rd Year for the Greenville Mile

Mallory made her school mile race for the 3rd year in a row. She has been working hard to train and get faster. They choose the fastest 3 girls in each class and then they all race at the end of the school year. We are proud of her and the hard work she put forth to make it again.

Happy 8th Birthday Caleb

We celebrated Caleb's birthday a few days early since Jon & I were in Moab for his actual birthday. The girls helped him celebrate on his real birthday, so he

got two special days!

Caleb wanted to go to Texas Roadhouse for his birthday dinner, I think because he got to sit on the saddle!

Couples Moab Trip

Jon & I took a weekend and went with five other couples to Moab for a few days. This is the second year we have done this and we had a great time. We took our

road & mountain bikes and did a little of both.

Arches National Park

Here is most of the group getting ready for a mountain bike ride on porcupine. This is a ride that I chose not to do since it was a little to difficult for me! I was glad I made that decision when Jon came back and he was pretty beat up. He came away from the ride this day with a few cracked ribs and is still recovering!

He is fifth from the left.

The last day we were there we did an easier ride that I could go and do. Jon was more than willing to go with me this day since he was having a hard time moving because of his ribs!
