At Roger and Melissa's House in St. George

Our fam went down to St. George for Sophie Grace Ivey's baby blessing. We stayed at the Abbey Inn with James and Ashley and their cute family. Although James and Ashley's kids all were a little under the weather, we had a great time.
The highlight of the trip was simply playing around with family at Roger and Melissa's house where we swam in the pool and played in the Tiki Hut that Roger built. Nate even hung on to the zip line from the hut down into the pool. Here are some pictures of the Tiki Hut with our kids and Melissa and Roger's kids (minus the twins and Sophie).

Hyrum House (May 2-4, 2008)

We went up to the Hyrum House on May 2nd to mourn the departure of Carrie and Nate to Arkansas and to mourn Dad's 5_th birthday. These are pictures of the kids and their cousins on the dock at Hyrum Dam for our Sunday walk along the beautiful trial. Sorry about the un-rotated picture which we can't figure out.

Our Chicken Coop

We have spent a lot of time building a chicken coop for our 5 chickens (Analese, Hooter, Lighting, Eli, and Sam). We have since painted the wood parts on these pictures a "barn red" and it looks super cute. They give us 5 eggs per day (two of them are mini eggs). A solid food storage program indeed!
