The Mighty Trapper

I know, it's kind of gross, but how often do you see this? Darren caught two mice at the same time in this trap.

Like Father Like Son

Ty loves to go shooting with his dad. Sometimes he will wake up in the morning and tell me that they are going shooting today. It's usually a day that Darren is working and I ask Ty if Dad knows that they are going and he tells me he does. When Darren gets home, he usually will take him, since it involves guns. They have a great time together. Sometimes they take the camera and take pictures, these are from some different times.

The Grotto

Last week we decided to go over the Nebo Loop for the first time this year. We packed a picnic and headed out. We came from the Payson side and stopped at the Grotto for a hike. It's an easy hike and I knew Ty would like the waterfall at the end.

I actually got Ty to take off his hat.

McKinlee liked to follow Ty

Ty is such a little poser!

Project Fence

We are finally going to have a fenced yard for the kids. I am really excited to have the yard fenced from the busy road. It will be really nice to have the privacy also. Hopefully it will be done soon so we can enjoy it. I will post some pictures of the finished project later.

Darren's friend came and dug the post holes for him.

Happy Birthday Darren

It was Darren's birthday on 8th. We got him an iPod this year so he could have some music while he was out working on the desert. He was getting tired of the one radio station that he could pick up out there. Happy Birthday Darren!

Darren's Elk

Darren shot this elk yesterday. Ty thinks it is pretty cool, McKinlee was not quite so sure about it. Good shot Darren.
