Fall Pictures

On Thursday we noticed out trees had recognized the coming of fall and they were beautiful so I coaxed Kayloni to go out and let me take her picture. I think they turned out great!

Archery Camp 2008

We finally got to go camping last weekend. Jeff, Nate and my dad all went archery hunting. It rained a lot and they didn't have any luck but I had a marvelous time just hanging out in the trailer. I even scrapbooked 10 pages. I was very excited. Tiandra came and spent some time with me at camp. Hope you enjoy the pictures.

My Dad is 77 and still Archery Hunting!

My dilemna

I work 3 days a week in a dental office in Blackfoot Idaho. I have the perfect schedule, Monday - Wednesday 8:00 - 5:00. Doesn't get better than that. I am learning a lot of new things since my experience has been in the medical field prior to this. Kayloni is playing on the Blackfoot JV volleyball team and has matches every Tuesday and Thursday evenings and tournaments every other weekend. That pretty much sums it up. I have piles of pictures to do for scrapbooking but can't seem to get motivated again to work on them. I don't seem to find/make time to pay bills, talk to my familyon the phone, work in my yard, read my sunday lesson... the list goes on and on. I need some help. I'M OPEN TO SUGGESTIONS! HOW CAN I GET MORE DONE IN A DAY and motivated to SCRAPBOOK?

California!

I got the awesome opportunity to go to California for Angela and Cesar's wedding. I went with my sister Chaunntel. It was such a great time. We were able to go to the Newport Beach Temple and the San Diego Temple. They are both so beautiful but my favorite was the San Diego Temple. It was fun to see where my Aunt Lorie lives and to see California. Talk about beautiful! Special thanks to Dave and Lorie for helping make our trip so much fun and definately and forever memory.

Crane Family Reunion at Lava

We spent the weekend in Lava for a get together for with Jeff's family. We had a good turnout considering we only planned it a couple of months ago. We missed Doug and his kids and Bob and Mom, Kris, Devin and Derek and Kristin and Breanna. But everyone else made it. At times we had over 30 people there. The kids had a wonderful time floating the Portneuf, jumping off the platforms, going down the slides and playing volleyball. They all voted to make this reunion an annual event and they want to do it in Lava again! Thanks to everyone that were able to arrange their schedules it turned out to be a great time for everyone.

My New Job

Well it has been 3 weeks at my new job and I am still feeling like I don't know anything. The dental field is a whole different world than what I am used to so I am able to learn so much. I am working an ideal mon, tues and wed from 8:00 to 5:30 and then I am done for the week. Can't beat that right! I work for Dr. Von Kunz in Blackfoot so if any of you are in need of a good dentist and want to come to Blackfoot, give me a call. Haha. Just can't wait for the day I feel like I am trained!!!

Kayloni makes Blackfoot JV Volleyball Team

After three grueling days of 2 a day practices the teams were chosen and the list was revealed. Kayloni who will be a Freshman this year made the JV Volleyball team. She is the only Freshman to be advanced to JV. She is very excited and we are very proud of her. All the hard work, the club volleyball and team camps are paying off. Good Job, Kayloni

Nate Leaves for CEU

I gave my last hug to Nate for awhile. He left Blackfoot today and is heading to Price to start school. It is so hard to see them grow up. Where did the time go? It seems just like last year we were doing Little League 5 nights a week! He is nervous about being so far from home but we will keep praying that he will love it. He will be playing baseball and that will keep him very busy. Thank you to everyone and your prayers and advice in helping him make this very important decision. We really appreciate all the help in getting him raised!

Bear Lake takes 4rth at American Legion State Tournament

We just had a good and emotional weekend watching Nate play his last baseball games with the Bear Lake team in Boise at the American Legion A State Tourney. It was very rewarding to see this young team make it to State again. They know how to win. Unfortunately that didn't take them all the way but we are very proud of them. Nate was a very important part of that team. He just doesn't realize how talented he is. He could really be an asset to any team if he would choose to do so. But I am learning that parents are there to watch your kids choose for themselves. It is very difficult for me to do that. I am not so hip on the idea of free agency before the age of 25! But as I told Nate, I will always love you but somedays I don't like you or your choices. I know, pretty harsh. I definately need some work in that department also. Thanks to all of you and your help in raising my kids. Pretty obvious we need all the help we can get!
