Fishing revisited

Last year Grandpa Jeff and Uncle Brennan took Mason fishing at the fish hatchery. We had so much fun last year that Mason asked Grandpa if he would "Please please please take me fishing again!!!" So, up Ogden canyon we went! This time we brought a whole crowed with us. Grandma, Grandpa, Brennan, Lacey, Bailee, Morgan, Victoria, Aryah, Don and Shalynn all came. Last year Mason was too afraid to touch the fish when they came out of the water flopping around like.. well, a fish out of water. This year he was a little braver and actually pet them after Uncle Brennan knocked them on the head.
And Morgan actually kissed hers! Yuck!

Look at that smile! Isn't he darling?!?

Victoria's first fish!!!

The girls had to stay in the stroller most of the time. Mom was afraid comacazie (sp?) Tori would jump into the pond!


Shalynn wasn't too excited about getting the fish off the hook, so Brennan helped her.

The littles... well, most of them!

Cemetery

We stopped by the cemetery to visit Britton, Grandpa and Grandma Taylor, Grandpa Rod, and Truman. Ashlee's family placed a headstone for Truman for Ashlee's birthday this year. We didn't put one originally because he is buried with Britton, and didn't think it was necessary. However, Ashlee started to feel like we weren't recognizing him as part of our family so she asked if they would have one done for her birthday. We are really happy with the way it turned out, and Ashlee feels much better about the whole thing!

I never will get over the thought of one of my children being burried in the ground.

Popcorn with Grandma Vickie!

Grandma had the great idea to bring the popcorn popper outside and let it pop on a blanket. It would have been really fun if the kernels weren't super hot! They kept landing on our legs and burning us! It was fun anyway and the kids ate it all up!






The Galivan Center

The Galvian Center in Salt Lake held a fun kids program. Mason got to play carnival games, get his face painted, and play with a lot of instruments!



Dinosaur Park

Up the Ogden canyon there is a dinosaur park! We met some friends that Ashlee use to work with, Jill Woodhead and her family, and Grandma Vickie and Aunt Lacey and Bailee.
Mason insisted on having his picture taken in this!
