Thanksgiving

We had a great time going to Grandma Jane and Papa Hood's house for Thanksgiving. We ate and ate and ate! We cut down our beautiful Christmas tree and the kids had fun riding around the field on Grandpa's new toy. I don't think he will be doing any serious hill climbing on this sled but the kids had a blast.

Running the Gap

Duane ran the 11th Annual Idaho State Journal Pocatello Marathon on Saturday, September 4th. He did a great Job. When he decided he wanted to run a marathon he could barely make it around the block but one year later and 40 lbs lighter he was ready. He trained extremely hard the last 4 months. When he crossed the finish line he looked like he wanted to die but he accomplished his goal. Wow, what motivation! He really enjoyed the experience and is even thinking about running it again. I think that you have to be a little bit crazy to want to run 26 miles but truely admire the athletes who do.

Fishing on Red Fork

We had a great time at Duane's families cabin. Quinn and Bobi came for a week. The kids loved going down and playing on the creek. It was great fishing! We caught 40 fish in just over an hour. We had Wyatt's little fishing pole and I had my fly rod. It was nice to get away.

Wyatt and Mustang

Wyatt loves this horse because he can ride around by himself.

Shae and Charlie

Shae loves riding. She would scream everytime she had to get off. I got tired of leading her around.

Happy Easter

Grandma Jane made Shae this pretty Easter dress. She loves to dress up.

Sorry everyone it has been so long since I updated our family blog. Grandma Jane has been giving me little reminders to sit down at the computer and post a few pictures. Our family has been pretty busy this summer but isn't that what summer is all about. We are looking forward to visiting Star Valley next week and seeing all of the Wrays in the Tetons.

Watch out here comes Shae Shae.

Let's go sled!

Happy Birthday Wyatt! Four years old.
