My bed in my hunting camp on the mountian
Had a nice ride...while I hiked and dragged Duffy's lazy behind up the mountian.

Went bear hunting, no bear but did see a nice owl!

First day of HIGH SCHOOL!! Yipes!

First day of KINDEGARTEN!!! Where do the years go...

The fence is coming along. Do a little each weekend.

Sage always does well fishing. Sage and I went up to Crawfish and each caught our limit.

Sage in the hula girl outfit Kit brought her from Hawaii

Sage and I working on the spring.

The girls and I had fun with these turkey's we saw on the way back from camping at Bonaparte. We would gobble and then they would all gobble in unison!!

Mom and Dad camped with us a couple nights~
Halla and Sage on the lake.

Me running "on" water!

Halla distrubing my relaxing moment.

Halla and Sage. We did a lot of fishing but didn't get anything in our boat. It started with Sage getting a 18" trout on the line, getting it to the boat and then the line breaking. This happened to both Halla and I as well. We were so depressed! I'm putting stronger line on my pole!!!

Went for a drive to lost lake.

Hiked up to the top of the rock overlook for Bonaparte.

Dinner!

Halla has been pretty useless this summer! She broke her arm on a skateboard in early July and has been in a cast most of the summer-bummer!

Sage flying a kite in her undies.

We had quite a summer storm. The lighting was amazing and our entire property was flooded. Our 4 wheeler was moved 20 feet by both wind and water!
Sage helping with the fence. We've been working on this on and off all summer. Hoping to curtail the snow drifting on our driveway. We're about halfway done. A lot of pole peeling!

Sage got a tractor for her birthday. This was the best present because she uses it to help work. She's picked up quite a bit of pole peels for me!

Sage turns 5~

Happy Birthday Sage!

It was a special day to finally have Scott's headstone placed. The buck is a picture Scott had drawn of his boone and crockett. The antler Halla drew. The green granite is from Sage for daddy's favorite color. The day of our appointment to order, I felt like something was missing. That is when the words at the bottom came to me. I felt that Scott wanted us to be reminded of the strengths we have. The strengths he brought to our family, what he has given us. Those words are everything he possesed. They get me through the most difficult days. He was a man who spoke less with words and emotion and most with his actions.

Had a very good visit with friends, the Mayhew family, in Durango, CO.
Halla, Sage and Allegra on the horse ranch.

Lillie, Anita's dog, at school. It was fun to watch the dogs go through these courses.

Somewhere in ID.

Ended up going through the Sawtooth mountians. Very beautiful.

The ORIGINAL starbuck

Polouse falls

We just set foot in NM

no comment ;->

At four corners, where four states meet. What a total tourist trap! We had to stand in line.

I told Halla not to ever say we didn't take her to the mall...

The arches were awesome

Hiking outside Bryce canyon

Ely, NV

Bryce Canyon

The girls and I hiked down to the bottom of Bryce. They did real good for such steep grades.

Frisco mining town in NV

We saw alot of wild mustangs!

Yosemite, way too crowded here.

Surprise Valley, CA. The town that time hasn't touched.
