A busy Start to Summer!

With Michaela's Graduation and the end of the school year our summer started off very busy. 
We enjoyed visiting the zoo with Grandma and Grandpa Kunz!
Here's some pictures to enjoy...



Grandpa was very nice to help me with getting the lawn mowed 
while Grandma helped me work in the flower beds.


Kent and I even got to go our shopping kid free. 
We were like little kids who ran away from home. 
It was fun!
(Just make sure to keep Kent away from the intercom system. lol)

Braxton finished up playing his first season of 
Flag Football 
with his friends 
Tyson Butterfield and Jacob Buys (Mills). 
He really enjoyed it!










Being in Young Women's I was able to attend 
Girl's Camp.
With women like Ann Olson and Kristen Hickman in charge we had a BLAST!
Loading wood for camp and Marshal HAD to help out!

She really is a wonder woman!

We camped up Diamond Fork Campground and 
hiked up to some warm hot springs above the campground. 
We had a lot of fun!


The most memorable part of the camp was me learning my superpower...cow whispering...
One evening when everyone was practicing a dance we were going to "perform" I saw a cow on the other side of this cattle guard we are standing on here. Being in a silly mood I decided to say hello to the cow. As I began talking to the cow it moved toward the cattle guard. I wasn't too worried because there was a cattle guard there. Still in silly mode I said something of the cow wanting to come meet me. At that point the cow stepped back and with about two steps was over the cattle guard and headed our way. All the leaders and girls RAN for the fenced in area while screaming. All that is except Syrina Starr who tried to stop the cow from entering the main road. The cow charged Syrina and she ran out of the way. The cow won and I was told I was not allowed to talk to the cows any longer. I was warned almost every time I cow came near the camp. 

We decided to reenact our running from the cow! 

Braxton turned 10
 and has blessed our life for a decade. 
He's a good kid. 
We enjoyed a movie birthday party watching Zootopia and having wolf cake.
The boys even howled with Braxton as they know his LOVE for wolves!
Travon, Tyson, Grant and Kyle were able to attend. 

As usual the Robison/Kesler family 
had their annual Fish Lake gathering.
My boys were caught enjoying a pot gut (squirrel) near the cabin (just right of the folded chairs)

The theme was Western Cowboys so Travis and Sarah were able to borrow some western clothes and take some old time photos for us all.

Below are some of my favorites from my family's photo shoot.


As part of the festivities the kids made stick horses and rode them around the "rodeo parade."

Sheriff Brad had to arrest Indian Tyson for stealing stick horses.
Naughty Tyson!

The kids had some fierce horse races!

The final leg of the rodeo was the shoot out!

After some fierce shooting the winner was...

Kyli Robison! Way to beat all those boys champ!!!

 There is a LOT of fishing done at Fish Lake!

Quite the fishermen!

There's a LOT of boating too!

Some fun times chilling at the cabin!

Just Life...
My boys chillin' on the couch!

Marshal had fun in Grandma's car.


He is one determined little man!
