We went and stayed and Nicole's Grandma's cabin this weekend with Mitch and Nicole and Scott and Suzanne and their families. We went to yellowstone but that is not where we found this bear. Mitch and Nicole took Dallin and his buddy Hayden for a 4 wheeler ride/hike. While on the hike Hayden and Dallin came face to face with this big black bear (they were within 4 or 5 feet) They yelled bear and ran, Mitch confirmed that it was a bear and took off as well. Later Steve, Scott and Mitch went back to the same spot and he was still there and they soon found out why. He was eating a elk and you can see it in the video. Pretty wild. We are glad the bear was enjoying the elk or he might have gone after the boys.
This is about the only picture of Steve and I in Lake Powell. We are lame we didn't even want to take this but we forced ourselves! This picture was taken when we went on a hike to some natural pools, they were dry, we are standing in one of them. We went back 2 days later and they were full... go figure.
My kids had so much fun in AZ. They got to see everybody. They really got to know Mandy's kids and love them to death. (Mandy they are working on a care package for your girls it's cute) When I picked them up at the airport Cami said she almost had tears leaving Grandpa. How awesome is that to have a place besides home that they feel so loved. 
I had my kids pictures taken today I thought I would share. I'm not happy with the group picture I think I will go back, they cut cami out and Dallin is trying to be taller than Audrey.
After I saw Sarah's snake picture I had to post this one. We found this snake on our hike and were trying to force it out of the bush so the kids could get a better look (it looked harmless) I thought I would try to get a good picture of it so I got down face to face with the thing and as soon as the flash went off the snake put it's tail up in the air and Rattled it! I freaked. Steve didn't believe me so he had to get a better look and it rattled it's tail for him as well. We left it alone after that. Click on the picture for a closer look. Scary!
This was a game Audrey played in April. She plays Tomorrow May 12th for her Division Championship, she has done so well. Her team finished 3rd to last, last year so they have come a long way.
I had to post this for Dad's sake. Dallin has a membership to a place called ultimate sports, this allows him to practice whenever he wants. He can hit in the batting cages or off the tee or even practice pitching if he wants. One of the benefits is instruction from Coach Pullens. Many of you know Dad played ball with Pullens, he was very excited when he found out who Dallin was. He told us about Dad's last at bat, how he hit a home run off a pitcher that went to the pros shortly after. He tells the story with a lot of enthusiasm. He said "Man Dennis could always get the job done" I just had to share
Sydney, Cami, Reegan, & Maddie at Grandma Lambie's graveside.
Cute story: All the grandkids were instructed to put a rose on Grandma's grave. Reegan's response to this: "Here McKinley, tell her its from Reegan." Oh we love her!
