Danny got his first dear hunting with his dad and uncles in Grace.

Danny is plucking the feathers from his first kill. A large turkey his face shows his pure joy in his job. ha ha. He did really enjoy the camping and hunting trip. Craig and Danny cooked the turkey for sunday dinner it was pretty good.

Cute kid - dead bird

We canoed across Jenny's Lake. Craig, Danny and Matt in one canoe and Chris Dale and I in the other. When we reached the other side of the lake we hiked up to Hidden Falls. The boys all said they would rather do that again then to go to Lagoon or Knott's Berry Farm.

We took a great family vacation in September to Jackson Hole and Driggs Id. We forgot the camera so these are shots from my phone. Chris loved the huge moose we saw

Dale and Danny loved the fact that they caught the moose taking a dump.

I Had to pay Chris $20 to be the ring bearer for Sabrinas wedding Then it turns out he enjoyed it. I was still out th $20. To make matters worse he bought a skateboard with the money. I definately was not paying for his skill level because he lost the grooms ring and walked down the isle with only one ring. The ceremony was put on hold for a couple of minutes but it seemed like an eternity while we looked for the ring. The photographers husband found it in the grass below the rock Chris had been sitting on while waiting for his turn.

ICE CREAM PLEASE!

FOUR DAYS, FOUR BOYS, FOUR HUNDRED MILES, A DOZEN GAMES

ONE HAPPY MAMA!

Bear Lake Baseball Tournament 2008
There is Matthew hes out with Danny and Kalob

and Craig was worried I would lose him.

Danny put his own sunscreen on, can you see where?

This one is so Angie can copy it onto her computer. Cute Picture HuH!

Danny and Dale love these cars but what they really wanted was ice cream. It was a very hot Saturday and they could see Artic Circle across the street so that is where we ended up.
Craig and Christopher were at a nice resturant because

Chris won a Ten Dollar gift certificate at a raffle.

Craig took him and let him buy what ever he wanted he got a Strawberry shake that was about a quart of ice cream a mountain of tater tots and a huge fish sandwich. Chris thought that was the coolest thing ever.

Matt has had enough baseball

Mo-hawk dont worry i'll finish shaving it before church. I was the only way he would let me cut his long hair.

SODA SPRINGS TOURNAMENT

Dales team won the "chumpianship" as dad so lovingly calls winning the lower bracket.

Dannys team won several games but lost the tournament. However Danny fouled a ball on to my van. Braxton fouled a ball onto Betties car. The boys thought it was cool the rest of us did not.

CHRIS CAUGHT THE BIG ONE!

Bettie and Lance wanted to go fishing and camping. It was cold cold cold at night. The fishing was great we caught about 20 fish. We only ate one. When I say we I mean them.

Chris tries to take out the guy in The Tank.









Dave and Jamie and the girls came down for the famous Malad Fourth of July. The parade was fun but the hypnotist in the park was funny. Some lady that was Hypnotized picked Jamie out of the crowd and decided that Jamie Lynn was Brittany Spears. Jamie even signed her autograph on the lady's hand.

We lit fireworks until midnight. Best of all we started grilling cheap hotdogs about 10:30 and put then on white bread because there wasn't a hotdog bun in the whole city. Corey and Angie Ilher hung out until midnight. Craig's parents and Krystal gave up after the city fireworks ended. It was very laid back and enjoyable. If you call lighting thousands of black jacks and rockets laid back.

Better quality movie

Matt was walking around with his guitar all day making up song after song. It was pretty cute then Danny started recording him.

This is about 4 mins but its pretty cute.

Sorry its bad quality I had to keep making the file size smaller.

Happy Day were here again.

Chris loves the Bat.

The boys love Lagoon.

I love Lagoon when Owen is

paying for the tickets and lunch.

Danny is looking more and more like a young man

instead of a young boy.

That is meant literally and not figuratively.

Christopher drew this in Sacrament meeting today. If you have been to our ward then you might recognize the Organ and Pipes in the back and the curved ceilings in our chapel. Chris sure is good at what he does.

FIRST PIZZA SENT FROM MALAD TO WALES ENGLAND

I ordered pizza for Michele in Whales and they delived it to her apartment for her and her sister comp. It was a New Yorker a bucket of brownies and a Fanta Orange Soda. I was scared that the pizza lady in Whales wouldnt understand me but it turned out ok. She did ask me twice if I knew I was calling the Dominoes in Whales and not in Idaho.

I emailed Michele (Sister Bannister) to see if she got her pizza. This was her response

"Yea i did it was halarious we were scared at first cause we got home just as they pulled up and we were late so we were on the phone with our district leader and trying to pretend we were already inside. Then man started talking about pizza and our district leader was all who is that and we were all we didnt order pizza. Then the pizza guy was like suprise its from America. We told our district leader we had a guy trying to give us pizza that we didnt order and we had to call him back he was so confused it was sooo funny. But yea it was amazing and eveyone thaought it was halarious at zone confrence aparently your the only one whos ever done that it was soo great and all missionaries are jeolous of my awesome sister anyway love you tons Whales is awesome by the way absolutely beautiful and green with lotssss of sheep thanks again my comp says thanks and she loves your face

love sis Bannister"

Matt smashed his face at the ball games last night. He and 8 other 4 year old boys from his old preschool class were running around like a litte gang terrorizing the peacefull atmosphere of a small town baseball game. They all climbed through the bleachers but Matt sliped. Matt looked like he had showered in blood but we got him all cleaned up before anyone got a camera out.

Bishop Thomas took this pictures with his cell phone in the girls bathroom at the church - pretty funny, huh. Dale's team lost but Danny's won.

Chris the pilot

Dannys team takes 3rd in league yeah!
