He Did It!

So... everyone knows how bad Colten has wanted a motorcycle. He has worked so hard over the last year and a half to earn enough money to buy one. He has done every inside job there is numerous times from washing dishes to cleaning the toilet. He also worked very hard with me around the house doing everything from weeding the garden to raking pinecones! He did all these other jobs on top of his regular chores! Laurie and I are so proud of him--He definately desearves he first dirt bike!

Lagoon Fun!

Our little family recently went to Salt Lake City to have some last minute R & R before school starts! As you all know that Michael Phelps really cleaned up at the Olympics. So of course, Colten was being extremely cute trying to show us at the hotel how good he was as a swimmer! It was very entertaining to see him dive into the water and then try to swim the length of the pool. Lagoon was really fun and we had a wonderful time until Laurie and I stated to get sick (We are not as young as we used to be!) That night we met Matt and Scott and thier familes across from temple sqaure to watch a very good outdoor concert put on by the church. We had a blast! On the next day we traveled to Park City to site see and do some shopping (Laurie favorite part!)

Sand Monster

Here are Mikayla's Bear Lake pictures that I promised. All Mikayla wanted to do at Bear Lake was to Eat Sand!

Bear Lake Vacation

Another summer another "Hale" of a reunion! The site of this year's reunion was Bear Lake. We stayed in a beautiful cabin up on a hill overlooking Bear Lake. The View was absolutley gorgeous! We had lots of fun and really enjoyed being with family. The Jensen's even survived the attack from "IT" the mysterious stomach bug and his cousins "The Texas two step" and "Moutuzemas's revenge (Thanks Dad Hale)" Mikayla even survived her constant addiction to eat all the Bear Lake sand!(pictures to come) Overall, this reunion was just what we needed a little R & R with the people we LOVE!
