Sisters Trip - Pinetop 2016


This year for the sister's trip I was in charge of it.  We went to Pinetop and stayed in a little cabin.  It was really nice!  It was way nice to have room to do somethings - since we always spend a lot of time in the motel room I thought a place like this would be great - and it was!  Kelli had some cute banner crafts for us to do.


 We went for our usual hike Friday morning.
 Then on to pedicures and manicures - thank you Holli and Mother!
 We may or may not have had a dance party Friday night.  We played games and laughed and slept really good because the beds were great! It was a great weekend and time spent with family
 This is the front porch of the cabin.  Loved being gone but love getting home to these punks and the other 2 that were at work!

Happy Birthday America

We had another great year for the 4th of July. Holli and Shawn came Saturday morning for the parade. We had a house full that night for dinner and the fireworks. 




The kids ad fun with all the glow stuff Holli brought.




And fun playing afterwards.
Saturday was our anniversary we didn't do anything but party for the 4th! Happy 19 years to us! Such do love this man of mine!

Monday Bruce had to go to Showlow and pick up mail and Tylinn had to water at Crandells but everybody else was off and Bruce and Tylinn would be home by 9 that morning so we decided we needed to do something as a family. We thought it would be fun to go to Haigler Creek and try to find a swimming hole. We stopped the first place and we're headed down the hill- Dustin was a little ways in front of me and Kaylee. All the sudden we hear him yell  and jump through the air. We got closer and he was just getting ready to put his foot down on a rotted out log and he head the rattle from a snake right under his foot. Thankfully he heard it and jumped. So Bruce and Dustin killed it and Dustin got the rattle off of it.

Later we met this guy on a little road in the middle of know where and had us stop. He had a Payson Forrest Service shirt and hat on but he gave me the creeps. He was all by himself and said his Forrest service rig was up the road blocking th road could we give him a ride. He jumped in the back of the truck and I told Dustin not to take his eye off him. I was very relieved when we turned the corner late and his truck was there. He still gave me the willies! I was glad when he wasn't with us anymore! We did end up finding a good spot to swim and had a great time.

































Youth For America

The kids had another successful Youth For America production during the 4th.  Tiffani, Jami, and Melanie did great with the kids.  Here are pictures from the night. Rhett went with Porter tubing down Salt River and to the Lake so he wasn't in it again.  Two years in a row!



 Bridget sang a song with these kids.
 This handsome boy!

 Beautiful kiddos!


 Cutest girls ever!

 Dustin, Noah, Seth
 and Cayden
 All the Juniors in it.  Can't believe they are Juniors!
 These 2 buddies!
 There was a family Country dance after.  Tylinn and Kaylee loved it last year so they were looking forward to it this year.  Bruce got a dance with his daughter.
