New Years shot out

We went over to mom and dads to teach them how to play the wii shooting game that we got them for Christmas.  The whole family played and became exerts.

The "Tron" Toy

Mason got his own tool box

So excited.  He got the knife he has been dreaming of from Sportsman's Warehouse.  

Scope for his paintball gun

He had wanted a hamster like his brothers.  Mom and dad got him a hamster and his brothers got him a cage.

I I finally have a camel back of my own.

Meet "Flash"

Ben got seats for his boat and the claps for them

I got spoiled.  I got a nook too.  

Ben in his new seat.  It fits.  

Christmas at the cabin

Each year we get together with Grandpa Turley for Christmas.  This year we got to go up to the Mathis cabin again. Family, playing games, gifts and snowmobiles what more could you ask for.

It's America

     What a nice break from the heat we have when we get to go to Kingston for the Fourth of July. 

Getting better with age

   While we were in Kingston we celebrated Ben's birthday.  I had everyone name some of the things that they though of when they think of Ben.  They came up will all kinds of things.  Fishing, Boats, motorcycles, biking . . . .  just to name a few.  Then I copied the list, split everyone up into two teams and invaded the town of Kingston for a camera scavenger hunt.  You had to take pictures of as many things as you could on the list (which total 20 per list)  in an hour.  It was a lot of fun.
   We met back at Grandma Luke's house to show the Judge (Grandma)  the pictures.  Since she didn't go with us she had a good time seeing the pictures that we did take.





 Then of course cake.  (My favorite part) 

   After his fishing trip in the morning up the river with his new gear from the angler shop in Circleville, the kids attacked him with silly string.








   Later mom sent Ben and I up Marysville canyon to dinner at Hoovers.  Ben spotted this dear as we were heading up the canyon.  We had to turn around so Ben could get the shot.  She sat there for a while watching us watch her.  She was so pretty. 

   
   All in all I thing it was a good day for him.  I love my man.

Mrs. Heath

Mrs. Heath was a great 2nd grade teacher.  Porter will miss her.

Family Evening Green Valley Park

At the first of every month the whole Fox family gets together and does something fun.  We take turns planing it which includes cooking the meal and the activity.  Jarron and Alivia planned this one.  We met at the Green Valley Park where there is a long grass hill.  I efforts to protect the grass Jarron put down a large piece of vinyl.  Providing a towel and ice blocks is all that we need to have fun.  Mom was so excited that we all let her go first.  Thanks Jarron for the fun time. 

If at first you don't suceed, try, try, again.

Who can help trying to catch popcorn in their mouths.

Practice makes perfect.

We had lots of practice. Can you not tell. 

Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday.

My oldest is TWELVE.  Holy cow.

I always take them to lunch for their birthday, he chose Judds for the soup.  Soup is his favorite. 

After his Bishop's interview that night we went out for icecream. He opted for no Party but to take the money I would have spent on the party and give it to him instead. He was rich and with all his money from family gifts and the party funds he bought himself a IPod. 

It's Fishing Season!!!!

The water is still cold but the fish are starting to bite, and ready to be fed.  And who better to feed them than my guys.

Ben's bag was to small so he graciously handed it down to Mason and then naturally had to get a bigger one.  After hours of excitment, packing the bags, they were ready.

 Kade, who is not a fisherman, even felt the thirl and went fishing with Ben and out out fished Ben. Ben was OK with that just because Kade was with him. 

  All of this makes me smile.  I love my guys out fishing.
