Landscapers straightening up our tree.  The night they planted it the wind blew so hard it tipped the tree.
Enjoying a sunset from our back porch.  Looking dew west.

Demonstrating the light features of the new landscape.  It really looks nice.


Bubbling Boulder water feature in the font of the house next to the porch.


This is the yard after a couple of weeks.  The grass has had a chance to take and it really looks great.
We now seem to accumulate all kinds of Preying Mantis and Grasshoppers.  This Mantis was about to crawl into my hair while I was sitting on the front porch enjoying the evening with Ken.  I couldn't sit back down.  Wonder Why?
Paityn spent the summer doing Drill Team
These are her teammates.
Here she is posing for a photo shoot.

We have really had a great summer at the lake.  We are trying our skills at a WakeKite.  This is Ken trying to ride it with his AirChair.  I really didn't think he could do it but he actually made it look easy.


Here is the WakeKite using a WakeBoard as I think it was intended for.

Paityn is trying out a WakeBoard for herself.  We spent a week in Lake Powell and she wanted to try it.  She really impressed us all and now I think she will probably give up on the knee board knowing she is capable of the WakeBoard.  
Keihlin is contemplating another go at the KneeBoard.  As you can see, the kids aren't as warm in the water, that's because our local lake has already began to cool significantly.


Paityn trying to WakeBoard at our lake.  It is much colder than Lake Powell and so she has to talk herself into getting in.  BRRRRR!!!  She is using Michelle's WakeBoard, hence the mongo boots, but it suited her just fine.

Diving practice has been fun this summer.















The 2009 MCHA Invitational.  We started in Wolcott at Piney Valley Sporting Clays course.  It was a fun filled couple of days.  Ken, Scott and I were the only ones who actually shot all 400 rounds.  WOW!!!  ANY TIME A STATION WAS SHOT CLEAN(NO MISSES) THE PARTICIPANT HAD TO DO A JIG FOR US.  I NEVER HAD TO JIG.
