Pictures Galore

Yes, we are still alive and I have officially decided that I am definitely not a good blogger (or journal writer for that matter)! But I guess a post here and there is better than nothing, right?! Nothing new in our lives. We have been trying to enjoy the good weather as much as possible before the summer sun becomes unbearable! And now for the onslaught of pictures...

Watermelon... oh the joys of summer!

Shawn's dad got a new lawn mower so we gladly accepted his hand-me-down rider. Brooklyn now insists on helping her dad mow the lawn! It's almost better than going four-wheeling!

As soon as we could we headed up to Kolob to try out the fishing. Brooklyn quite enjoyed going around the lake on the boat; well at least for about the first two hours, then she got real tired of it, real fast!

So we spent the remainder of our time exploring the shore. This was the inside of one of the cabins by the dam.

She then tried to find the largest rocks she could lift so she could throw them into the lake! Notice the strained look on her face :)

She didn't much appreciate the one fish that Shawn did manage to catch!

I just thought this picture was too cute to not post!

Shawn's sister just got a Pomeranian puppy, which Brooklyn absolutely adores!!! We puppy-sat him while they went to the movies and Brooklyn thought she was in heaven. She was not pleased when they took "HER" puppy home with them! We will be puppy-sitting him again this weekend, man is she really going to be upset when they take him after having him for 2 days!

In other sad news, our neighbors have taken away the cow that lives across the road from us. (I'm sure they just took him back to the ranch to roam free with his other cow friends, Shawn on the other hand insists he has gone to cow heaven and the owners will not run out of hamburger for a while. I firmly disagree, or maybe won't agree, I'm not sure which). Anyways Brooklyn has been rather bothered that the cow has not been in the field for the last few days. She used to check on him frequently throughout the day, mooing at him, and showing her baby doll the cow. Hopefully she will forget about him soon - it reminds me of where he could (or could not) be every time she moos at the empty field!

and last but not least, I finally finished another project!! Yay for me, I love them! One project down, an endless amount to finish!
