Thanksgiving 2012

For Thanksgiving this year we went to Denver to Danelle's house. Lindsey meet us at Danelle's house. 

It was so fun to get out of the house and have a good time with family.

This is my Mom and Daniel and the apple pies they made together

Just playing with cars

On this ramp we would shoot cars into the living room for the stair case

Daniel loved it

We also went to the Denver Children's Museum

They both wanted to push. Here is the arrangement we worked out!

Here the boys are opening the present that I gave them for Christmas

This is a pioneer/animal museum that we went to

This is Daniel's Park where we went bouldering

Favorite Pictures

 Here are some of my favorite picture I have taken.

Microwaves

Our microwave broke when Alan was on his mission. The 2,3,7,8, more, and less, minute, and  the clock did not work. We got a new on and replaced it yesterday. 

Here is our new one

it is also a convection oven

it is so nice!

Provo Temple

I have decided to go to as many of the temple in Utah as I can. I went with Alan, Kristi, Rachel, and Elisha to the Provo Temple. It was a long wait but it was good to just go and sit. Alan baptized all of us, which was kind of cool.

Archery

Lately I have been doing archery in the backyard. It is super fun! It is a good hobby to do when you are bored. The bow that I am using is Alan's old one. He got it at a yard sale. It pretty beat up, but it works for what I need. The target that I am using is Kirk's parents. It is a nice one. The target is made out of a form/condensed cardboard thing. If you are ever interested in archery- try it! I am loving it right now!

Time with Cheryl

Cheryl has been visiting, and we have done a lot of fun things together. I am glad we got to see her so much. I wish they lived a little closer. 

Me and 2 of my siblings

This is a balloon we got for Cade. I think he liked it

Here we are playing in the sandbox

Cade liked climbing in the hole I dug

Here is Cade at his 1st birthday party. He really dove in to the cake we made for him.

Cade like swinging in the sprinklers.

Here we are doing wheel barrel

Cade though that it was cool that he could hold the bird

9th Grade

I am now in 9th grade. I feel old. 

Here we are getting ready to go

With my backpack and everything

Camp Floyd

My Grandma and Grandpa Waters took me and my cousin Claira to Camp Floyd. It is a place where the army sent from the United States stayed while they were checking up on the Mormon and making sure that they were not planning any up rises. They ended up camping for the summer.

This is a canon that they used and it is 1/3 the size of a real one

This is the stage coach inn that was there at the same time of the camp

This is one of the bedrooms

This is an organ that they used to go in and play so that they made sure that the owners children didn't get to ruffed up by the people that stayed there

Here is a tree that was planted about 1850

Youth Conference

For Youth Conference we went down to Ferron, Utah. It is in the middle of nowhere. When we first got there we went on a water slide. I really liked it and I think I went down it at least 50 times. That night we went to the Castle Valley Pageant. That was probably my favorite it was just so fun to see.

These are some petroglyphs we saw, I like climbing in the rock around them as well.

Here we are getting ready for the dance we had with a local stake.

Rodney Atkins Pionneer Day Concert

For Pioneer day we went to see a Rodney Atkins concert. I really enjoyed it. He sang a lot of really good songs including "Watching You" and "Farmers Daughter".

Here we are sitting together waiting for it to start.

This is one of the better pictures we got of him.

This is him on stage.

Kennecott Copper Mine

Two days ago on Monday morning my Grandparent took Rachel, Elisha, and me to the Kennecott Copper Mine. It was so cool. 

We saw a wheel that they use on the trucks and it was 12 feet 6 inches tall!

Here is one of the trucks on the road in the mine. You can kind of tell how big they are. 

They had other things on display including part of an old train. 

Here is looking into the mine

Grandpa and me

Looking at the mine from the outside

Thanks Grandpa and Grandma for taking us!! We had so much fun.

Excursion in the Uintas

My parents and I went to the Uinta mountains last Monday. We took a day hike and went to Pot Lake and around it. We went and looked over a ledge on a cliff. I had a good time, it was fun to get out and see other things that I don't see everyday.
