Eden Has Graduated 2010

Yes we had the last of three graduation ceremonies this week and what a relief. Our family is trying to make it through the next two weeks. Busy busy busy....Yes it has been a journey for our three graduates but it has only begun. There will be a good times ahead and there will be some low moments. When the lows come and they will look to those who love you, seek their advice, cause you can believe your family has a lot of experience in that department. Follow the advice of your parents and church leaders and those low moments won't be so bad. You can, yes you can do it, after all you graduated High School. Good luck

Mikey Graduates 2010

Well three down and two to go. This has been a long year for our family, especially with our Dad out of work. But amongst all the confusion we have been blessed. We would like to thank our Heavenly Father for watching over our family. Anyway Mikey has decided to pursue a career as a electrician and we hope that we will be able to support him financially and spiritually. Mikey we hope you remember that your family loves you and cares about you. You may feel like we are crowding you, but we really mean well and have your best intentions in mind. Anyway congratulations and good luck in the near future. Remember to listen to your Parents, Church Leaders and those that have your best interest at heart. Be aware of those who will lead you astray of the things you know to be good and true. Word of advice.... Smile

By the time Mikey could find Kira he had taken of his Gown and Hunter was wearing it.

A special thank you to those who were able to attend

This is mikey's second family

Father and Sons campout

Hunter Getting ready for bed. We fell asleep watching Clash of the Titans and eating Tim Tam cookies and juice.

So we had our Father and Sons ward camp-out. So Hunter and I went up to Payson Canyon to Maple Lake. I have a lot of good memories in Payson Canyon from when i was a scout leader. The weather the first evening was great and so was the fishing. Hunter had a blast. Anyway it was suppose to rain that evening so we decided sleep in the back of the truck instead of pitching a tent, turns out that was a great choice cause it snowed through the night. It was cold, wet and muddy in the morning but we all managed just fine and had a lot fun.

We feel like our kids are growing up to fast, as much as they can drive us crazy we love them a lot and feel like we are not able to spend enough time with them.

Ethan Timoko Graduates

Today we had the opportunity to support Ethan, who graduated from Merit Academy. Most of the family was able to attend and it was short and sweet. Congratulations Ethan

Our baby Max

Here is one of the additions to our family, you'll see him in the background of family pictures but not the main attraction. Well here is his moment. Max is six human years old. We got him after our son Mikey brought him home and swore he would feed and groom him everyday, now that coming from a eleven year old sounds really cute, but as much as we knew better we allowed the puppy to move in. Well the promise lasted all of about a month. Well as you can tell we all fell in love with him. He is a smart puppy and has been really easy to train. His favourite things to do besides begging from the kitchen table is to eat and sleep, But he loves to hunt and swim. This may sound really crazy but he really loves the treadmill, I think he thinks it belongs to him. He likes his quarterly baths but really hates to have his teeth brush, but he also understands that when he has his teeth brushed means time for another road trip. He does go on all family trips, anyone who knows our family will tell you so. He has become our family home security system and can sometimes takes that a little to seriously sometimes even annoying, but we love him all the same.

Bear Lake

This weekend we traveled to Bear Lake, where we have so many good and fun memories. On the way up to the lake we stopped to snap a few pictures, we couldn't help ourselves the view was so beautiful. There was still a lot of snow on the mountain tops. Beautiful Bear Lake in the back ground. They say a picture is worth a thousand words but this picture doesn't, you would have to be there to know what i mean

Hunter enjoying the warm outdoors

Makenna and Hunter enjoying the air pillow, they even won some prizes there.

Of course we had to play some miniature golf, that was a blast. Makenna and Dad both hit a hole in one.

Hunter has just tee off, he hit the ball too hard, it bounced off a brick and hit Mom in the chin. Notice the ball (it's green) between Hunter and Mom about a foot off the ground before it hits Mom.

Hunter spent more time fishing his ball out of the water and from under a rock and had a blast doing so.

The kids fighting over which Bunk bed they wanted

The Kids riding the bikes they have there. The weight limit is 170 lbs, being so close to that weight....haa. Dad decided to try it out. Had a lot of fun even after wrecking into Hunter. Of course Max is right there to follow along.

Kind of weird, cause you steer with your body by leaning in the direction you want to go.

Drove around the lake to visit some of the old spots we use to hang out at. Good times. They had some bike race around the lake, so it took longer to cruise around the lake.

While we were taking these pictures, Mom See's a snake and freaks out. Then Max tried to catch it, but it slithers under a rock. But that didn't keep him from trying.

Back at the cabin for something to eat and just relax and enjoy each others company. Played a lot Table Tennis, Air hockey and Foose ball. Then we swam till dark, in time for the train ride and the Air hockey competition.

Mom enjoying the warm sun light and wondering if our teenagers are OK, if the house is fine and what not.

Even Max knows how to relax, maybe even to much. He had to have gained weight this weekend.
