Fishing

We went to Utah this summer and this is Rylen catching a fish he did it with no help at all! Marlee was all about getting the pole ready and casting the line but as soon as Rylen pulled his fish out of the water she SCREAMED and RAN! No more fishing for her after she saw what she would catch! (I must admit I don't blame her, I feel the same. They are a little creepy, that's why I only fish with my dad...he does ALL the work I just reel 'em in.)
It was one of the kids' favorite activities....fishing in the pond in Mt. Pleasant. We built a fire and roasted Hot Dogs for dinner. (We let this little fish go. He was too small to be a keeper.)
The kids loved following Grandpa Kenny around. He took them on the quad, and let them help him with the garden, they even got to help him with his home improvement project.
We miss you already Grandma and Grandpa!

Pictures from Rylen's Surgery

This is Rylen in recovery....He did really good and was able to leave the hospital quickly. Below is of him when we loaded into the wheelchair to go to the car. The recovery at home was pretty rough, he was quite sore and it took him a good two weeks to start feeling better. I think he is continually improving, he lost some weight from this and he has started to gain it back. It has been one month and it usually takes that long for it to be totally healed. Hopefully we will see big improvements in his sleep, it is still hard to say if it has helped yet...I think it has but it would be nice to know that he will sleep through the night every night (we'll keep our fingers crossed).

Private Again

I had to go private for my own piece of mind. I have had too many recent warnings. (I have even lost sleep over this) So in an attempt to keep my family safe from the weirdos in the world, I am just going to have to keep our blog private. It was private at one time but I took the restrictions off because I had some family that I wanted to be able to access it easier. But I have decided that it is too easy for everyone to find and I am just not comfortable with that and it's not worth the risk. Sorry if this is inconvenient for any of you! Also, if I have missed any friends or family just e-mail me and I will add you in :) I love to keep in touch with friends and family this way, especially the ones that do not live close to us! Thanks to all of you who keep us on your lists and let us view your blogs.
