MARSH LAKE!!

I'm trying to put on my rigging since I lost it when I cast.



This one is for Dad!  Ahhh....this is the life!

This time the fish took off with my entire rig as well.  I'm so slow, so Rick is assisting so I can get back to my fishing.

One of our little friends that Rick enjoyed feeding.  He even jumped on my neck and on our screen to get into our trailer.

One of my favorite pass times!

Catch Of The Day!!  I caught the biggest fish of the trip.  About 17"

Rick's biggest!  About 16 inches.

Fresh trout!  Delish!  (Rick had a steak)

Look!  There's even a line at the bathroom in the mountains!

Rick in his solitude.

Foil wrapped grilled shrimp!  Yummy camping food.

This is all I need....my pole and a book.  This is heaven!

Looking from our camp.

Fall is coming.  The quakies are already turning a beautiful yellow.

Rick and I had a wonderful time.  We went to Marsh Lake for our last Hoorah of the season.  Just the two of us.  It was a beautiful week.  Big fish, quiet, relaxing and perfect weather.  We couldn't ask for more......well, except maybe our camping and fishing buddies....My mom and dad!!

I MADE SALSA!!  I've never made salsa before and I was actually quite proud of myself.  They look good, now for the taste?

 

The Foxpointe "FOXRUN"

Rick and 5 other men from our neighborhood planned a 2 day motorcycle trip up through the Uintahs and on to Idaho. It was a beautiful weekend and the weather was perfect! They drove up through Logan Canyon and up to Bear Lake an on to Mt. Pilliar in Idaho and stayed the night there. The next day came down through Wyoming down the south slope of the Unitah Mountains on down to Kamas to SLC. They had a great time. One of the men is putting together a video of the pics of their trip. It was unanimous that it's going to be an annual run!

Rick's rental since his bike wasn't ready yet.  It was a pretty sweet ride though.  We're getting ready to meet the other couples for dinner the night before.

The men decided to take their sweet wives out to dinner the night before, since we were such good sports and staying home.  They all showed up on their motorcycles with the wives on the back.  ZOOM ZOOM!

Dinner at Zupas!

Danny embroidered these vests for each of them.  It says FoxRun.  I guess they are officially a "gang"

Tony Grove up Logan Canyon

They actually visited a museum!

Somewhere along Mirror Hwy

HUBBY HUMOR

Rick found these dumb teeth in a bag that Logan got from a friend of his.  He stole them, just for a minute, and gave me a set of teeth and said, "here Bees, put these in and we'll get a picture and you can put it on your blog."  He was being sarcastic, but little did he know, that that is exactly where this picture was going.  LOL.

Eternal Friendships!

Siblings... I love my brothers and sisters.  They are a blessing and a treasure to me.  What joy to have them in my life!

You might ask, why I put this picture in?   It actually depicts what each of our personalities are in just this one photo.  My parents would understand what I mean.  Look closely.....TeeHeeHee!

Logan's Back Surgery

Logan went into Primary Children's Hospital on August 20th.  His scoliosis curve was almost a 60 degree curve.  Dr. Smith went in and put titanium rods and screws in his spine like they had to do with Caslyn.  His surgery was 2 hours long and was a success!  He was pretty alert after his surgery and we were able to talk to him as visit with him a bit.  He was a day ahead of schedule, so he was able to come home early.  He was in the hospital for 5 days.  We were glad to get him home.  I stayed at the hospital the first few days just to make sure he was good and that he had his mommy just in case.....sometimes they just need a kiss, to hold your hand, or just to be able to call out your name and know their mom is there!


Rick's mom was out for Education Week, so she was able to come with us to the hopsital. She was here a few days, so Logan was able to see his grandma. What a treat!

This was Stephanie, Logan's first PT.  This was the morning after his surgery.  She had him sit at the edge of his bed.  He was a trooper, I know how this feels the morning after.  I think he just wanted to show off.  He thought she was quite cute:)





Logan's first day walking.  Day 3.  He did great!  His PT Kari was quite proud.



Logan's first time sitting in a chair, Day 2

 Logan actually did 4 flights of stairs.  Day 3. His PT Kari's goal was just to get him to do a couple of steps.  Way to go Logan!!  That's my tough son.  Way to push yourself:)

 A man comes in to the hospital every Thursday, with his dog, Daisy, to visit the children.  He says is therapeutic for the kids and for Daisy.  She will only come to this floor though, because she can sense the pain and suffering on the cancer floor.  She is 11 years old and was so sweet.

Time to come home!  And Logan insisted on bringing 5 of his 8 pillows home!
