Summer Fun 2010

We all had allot of fun this last summer of 2010 there were a few trips, Mexico with Joe, Walker, and myself went to San Carlos Mexico with Adam to do some deep see fishing. My brother in law Kip and his son Hunter met up with us down there. We drove down. It only took about six hours. The food was GREAT and the weather couldn't have been any better. I was actually the winner of the in house jack pot adding up all the stats, length and weight, I took the grand prize which was I didn't have to buy dinner.


Joe, Rhett, and myself did a four day er to so Cal. to visit Stacy,Kim,and their grown up kids. I played golf wit Pete while the boys went spear fishing off the Coronado Islands, Again we were blessed with the best weather any one could ask for.


Our main Vacation was eight days in Savannah Ga. with Posey and her family. We all had plenty of time to visit and I had a great chance to see Savannah allot better than the last time we were there which was just for one day. Ben drove me around the back roads ware I was able to see the true beauty of that part of the country. We were able to hit the beach several times. The water was warm and again the weather was absolutely perfect. Arriving at the Jacksonville Airport!

A Vacation in Savannah

Well not to long ago Tamy decided she wanted to go to Savannah to visit our daughter(Posey), Son-in-law(Ben),and their three boys(Vance, Brogan, and Gray). At the last minute I was prompted to go with her, then we both thought that Rhett needed to go see them also especially since he will be leaving shortly to serve a two year church mission. They have been very hospitable, gave us their bed,and have something planned every day. The weather has been perfect and the ocean water couldn't have been any nicer.


We have managed to hit the beach a couple of times and will probably try for one more round before we leave.The boys have matured quite a bit since we last seen them almost a year ago.

RHETT,VANCE,& BROGAN

Never A Rest!

Saturday I thought I would take the day off! Started with blood donation at 8:00, they said it might have been a record, filled a pint in 5 min and 23 sec. next was straighten up the back yard, clean the pool and get ready for Emma's 6Th birthday at 3:00. We had to be at Gavin's baptism by 11:00. It was a good turn out. Cita played the piano, Gavin's Grandma Ellsworth gave the talk about Baptism. His Dad Baptised and Confirmed him and Ken and myself were the witnesses.It is so amazing how much Gavin has grown and how much older he seems after being Baptised.



After stopping and getting a burrito at Chapolte's it was back to the house to help joe finnish prepping the back yard for the birthday swim party. Both Joe and Erin really went over the top, it was a two part party with a time schedule. 3:00-4:00 kids Swim; from 4:00-5:00 They rode Jaylee around the pasture; and from 5:00-6:00 they ate and swam. It was pretty hot around 109 degrees.From 6:00-9:00 Erin's family came by for pizza and did a little swimming.I don't think I got to bed before 12:00.

Family Tradition

Last weekend Joe, Rhett and myself decided to head over to California for a short trip just in time to make Stacy's Birthday! I will have to admit, that wasn't our main objective. We stayed with Stacy and I truly enjoyed the time we spent with her, Reese, Corley, and Natalie. Rhett, Hutton, and Joe chartered a small boat to spear fish down in Mexico. I played a round of golf with Pete at his Country Club. He has been playing all year without a golf cart or pull cart. He didn't have to talk me into it. I was dumb enough to volunteer to walk with him. Me being the less than average golfer that I am, really enjoyed the punishment. If you have never walked 18 holes carring your clubs, and playing buy the rules you haven't lived life to the fullest.
Kim had a dinner party for Stacy, Drew cooked the traditional Cita Tacos, he must of cooked for 3 hours making salsa, Tacos, tostados, and Drew's friend Ben made the deserts. We all got to visit with each other over dinner, and birthday cake(teramesu)(can't spell). Stacy is really 55 years old. ouch!!! I say that because I am right behind her. We all decided that we would try to make it one of our priorities to make the trip each year especially if Drew's Cita Tacos are the main course.

More Ramblin

Well Tamy thinks I need to write more often but I don't have anything of real importance to talk about! I will have to say thanks to all that are responsible for my blog. I opened it up tonight and was awoke to Toby Kieth it really did bring back memories of how good I once was!!! Monya had given it a new redesigned look. Joe, Rhett, myself, and Gage will be going to Cal for a few days to get out of the heat. Should be fun I always enjoy hanging with my boys. It's worth the teasing they do to me,could be borderline abusive and I keep coming back for more. Gavin had his 8th birthday yesterday. He had a little swim and pizza party here He is getting very big!We made it to the airport the other night to see Myles return from his Mission in New York he didn't look any different than the day he left two years ago. Everyone was excited to see him back home. I promise next time I rite I will have more substance in my words.

Walker's Accadamy Graduation

What a great day, Tamy and I left for Tucson ware Walker graduated from Cadette School! He even got his own badge. He said that it was actually much harder than he expected. We are all so proud of Walker's accomplishments. I know that in the short time that he was in school he grew physically, mentally, and spiritually. He will be starting at the Florence prison on Monday, and will be reporting at 7:00 am. It was hot today about 112 degrees lucky it was inside. Tamy and I have to go to a wedding reception in a little while so I don't have much time.

Just Ramblin

Well another very warm summer day gone by! Seems like there is never enough time in the day to get everything done, even though the days are much longer in the summer. My days usually starts around 6:00 am and finishes at bed around 11:00 pm. Rhett is doing a good job at work as a lot tech. He is going to school and working about 4-5 hours a day. He told me tonight at dinner that he is finding out that car selling looks much harder than he ever thought it would be. He is excited about his mission, it will be soon when he reads the letter from the First Presidency that will tell him ware he will be serving for the next two years of his life! I know that this is what he should be doing. Tamy probably struggles a little bit, but seems to keep it to herself (for the time being). Walker will graduate tomorrow down in Tucson, we will drive down for the ceremony, he will immediately take an assignment in the Florence prison. I will report on his progress later. I feel certain that he is done with being pepper sprayed, and tear gassed.
