Bow Shoot

My very own bow hunter. He did such an awesome job. I personally don't know how he hits anything with it. But he hits everything with it.

This deer was on a zip line and if you hit it, you got extra raffle tickets. Believe it or not Dean hit it in the chest.

Target #1.

Getting his stuff ready. He was a good guesser. They couldn't use the range finders and a lot of the targets were unmarked. You had to actually just guess how far it was. Since he really didn't miss any, I think he was a pretty good guess.This was so much fun for me and the kids too. We followed Dean around while he shot and then we drove on up the Chepita lake and caught a few fish. All in all we had a really nice relaxing day.

Rain, rain, go away. JK Stay

These are pictures of just one rain storm. We are getting them about each week. I love it!!! My grass has never been so green and lush. And my water bill has never been so low in the middle of summer. Keep it coming.

Baseball is Officially Over at the Lindsay's

Devin finished off his All-Star Tournament in Vernal last week. Dakoda and Dylan both had scout camp all week, so it was up to me to be loud. As hard as it was for me, I cheered my heart out. These younger mothers need to learn to make some noise. I was a good teacher. LOL Devin did an outstanding job. He played short stop and pitched. He is throwing really well for 10 years old. I hope he continues to progress. Dean was one of the coaches and had to suit up-pants and all. I loved those little pants. I hope we don't have to give them back. Haha. He's hoping he nevers sees them again.

Keep your eyes on the ball. Tuck your chin. Give it a ride.
The big wind up and stretch. Devin and the stare down. Devin at short stop

The teams for the Star Spangled Banner. There's nothing quite like hearing "Play Ball" Devin is #15 and Dean is the third man from the left. Now what to do with our summer.

Lilly Lake Hike

The big hike. It took 1 hour to hike in. That is with me dragging and whining the whole way. I tried not to. But I did have to stop and breath once in a while. I was pretty sure that you could see my heart beating on the outside of my chest too. Dylan coaxed me into not stopping on the way down. He had faith in me. Dakoda is a fisherman. Dean and Dakoda each caught two fish. Dylan and I each caught 1. Devin's bubble was too big it was scaring the fish away.

Yes that is a squirrel eating out of Devin's hand. They were so tame. They would not leave our backpacks alone.

Lilly Lake is beautiful.

Dakoda caught this squirrel in a plastic bag. They are soft little critters. We let it go and you would think it would be scared, but it still came back for more Ritz.

Devin is a good sport.

Our friend... Chip or Dale?

Giant ant bed. It was HUGE.

Freaky cloads

Just some freaky cloads we had the other day.

Dev's year in Baseball

So we're getting near the end of baseball. That means that summer is sailing by. The season games are over and all that is left is All-Stars. Devin made the All-Star team and is very proud. Of course his daddy is a little proud too. Dean was Devin's coach this year and I was the score keeper when Dylan didn't have a game. All-Stars are next week in Vernal. I hope it's not too hot at 5:30.

Relax??? Right!!!!

The day after Dad's funeral we decide to go for a ride in the mountains. To do nothing. No thinking. No crying. Just relax. I was exhausted!! We rode to the top of Petty Mountain. There are a cluster of rocks that you drive up to and from there you can see forever. And the forever is beautiful to see. You can't deny the Creator in places like this. We get out of the truck and Dev decides to run and high jump a rock. He doesn't clear the rock. And head wounds BLEED bad. So here is what he ended up with after I held his head for an hour to get back off the mountain and to the hospital. It doesn't look so bad with the stitches but it was bad. They dug a rock about the size of my pinky fingernail that had lodged into his skull out. That's when I had to sit down. But the silly kid never cried once. Seriously not once. Dylan made fun of his fall. I guess it wasn't too graceful. Sadly I missed it.

Heart Breaking Day

Me and my brothers. Bruce, me, Kim, Ryan. (missing Brent) My family My husband and rock. Me and my nephew Brady. Awesome kid. Kind of a big Dylan. Angels in training. On June 15th I thought my heart was breaking. And then when they closed the casket for the last time and I had to forever say goodbye to my dad I swear it cracked. Dean was my rock and my hero. Devin gave me hugs every time I cried and asked if that felt better. It did. Hugs heal. I think I'm doing better and then it hits over again and I find the boys in my life for a hug. They heal.

I have never felt such love for my brothers as I do know. They all are rocks and I love them. Thanks to everyone for their love and kindness. I love you all.

Dylan is done with Baseball

Dylan's team had a wonderful year. It was there first year of pony league and I was a little worried about them. They were very young. Only one boy had played pony league before. All in all I think they lost one game and that is when our whole team pretty much was gone to wrestling camp and we had to recruit younger kids to come play. And then they only lost by one. So really that one doesn't count in my opinion. They had an awesome year and they are so fun to watch.

Way to Go Dillweed!!

The Dams are Spilling

Rock Creek Dam spilling Moon Lake dam when it is tripped

It looks like lace.

We love to go for rides in the jeep. All we need is redvines licorice (It has black for me and red for everyone else.) and a drink. We went up to the dams here lately to see them spilling. Rock Creek is absolutely beautiful. Of course my family has to walk along the cement barrier. Luckily we've never fallen in. Moon Lake has not been full enough in quite a few years to trip and spill. That is nice to see for a change.

Reynolds Family Reunion 2009

We have had the Reynold's family reunion for this year. Allen was the highlight of the day. He and his daughter Shelly flew over the park and dropped candy for the kids to pick up. The kids had a blast. Thanks Allen. There was lots of good food and we always love to see everyone.
