Clinger Party

The Clingers had a party to say hi to an out of state cousin coming up for a visit and to say goodbye to a local cousin moving out of state. It was a fun get together with family, and someone brought a blow up water slide. They set it up with a large trampoline behind it, and then went to town jumping down the slide and otherwise being boys. I don't have pictures of the worst of it (or best of it, depending on your gender and tolerance for watching what should certainly lead to physical pain, but somehow never does), but here's some of Shelly on the slide.

And one of Jason on the swing. Next to him is Jax and Shelly on the teeter totter part of the swing. I used to love those things when I could fit on them without doing harm to me or it.

Uncle Doug off to the MTC

Uncle Doug was heading off to the MTC, so while we waited for him we decided to clean up part of the back yard for a play area.

Emily had fun playing on the small trampoline

Cleaning up the weeds.

Hi Emmie Sue! Having fun all by yourself over there?

Uncle Doug is here!!

Trying to take pictures. Not everyone co-operated...

The new cinder block house that Daddy built!

Mark Starts School – Again…

Today was Mark’s first day of his second Masters degree… This one will be cheaper and he’ll actually end up with a license! Just a few more years left! Good Luck Honey!!

Random Craft...

The kids were bored and my random wanderings online led me to this idea. The kids had a blast!

We colored paper plates and then cut them in a spiral and hung them from the room divider/ceiling thingy in our house.

Hike to Stuart Falls

During the Schofield Reunion many of the family went on a hike. I started to go with them, but half way down the road (down being literal, it was downhill to the trail head) my knee started to give out. I always forget that I have a bum knee for downhill walking until it's too late. I opted to not be crippled and have fun the rest of the weekend instead of going on a fun hike. I was rather bummed because I love hiking, but I do better at my own pace for the downhill part and not keeping a group waiting for me and my defunct knee. I gave the camera to Mark. These are his pictures.

Up the trail - ignore the finger... :)

Stopping at the base of the fall

Here's Bill taking a rest

JB found a fun spot too

Ethan, posing for the camera

Mark must have hiked farther up

Bill must have gone with him... Hi Bill!

Hi Honey!

I think that's Caden, but I wasn't there and it's rather an indistinct photo.

Schofield Family Reunion

We had a reunion with Grandma and Grandpa Schofield and all their family over the weekend. We went up to Timp Lodge and spent Thursday, Friday and Saturday there. We had lots of fun spending time together and getting to know each other better. There was tasty food, crafts, games, service projects, a talents show, and mostly just a good time to be had.

Jason found a fun toy.

Emily is scooter, but boy can she get around! I think she was faster than some of the crawlers there. (The wood floor gave her a slight advantage - less friction)
