Redfish Lake 2011

We spent most of last week enjoying beautiful Redfish Lake, near Stanley, Idaho. It was wonderful and brought back so many childhood memories. We spent many summers camping at the other end of the lake with no running water, except the river, and no bathrooms, just the outhouse. When we went to the old stomping grounds this year I could still see the old green "five" man tent that slept seven, and yes, six of those were girls. We had lots of laughs and good times. I love to see me kids enjoy this same place. Kyle enjoying the water and Ashlee the hiking. It was a great break from the go-go-go we do each day. For those that know the family, you will see a couple extra kids in some of the pictures. Two of Mat and Kade's friends from Soda came with us. Can't wait to go back again!!!

Happy Birthday to Our Baby Girl!!!

Today is a very special day!! Our baby is having a birthday!! Yes we still call her our baby even though she is turning another year older. We love our Ashlee...Blondie...Blonde Bomber..Baby Girl and as Ray calls her sometimes "the Warden". She does keep us in line and we love her so much. She brings so much to our family!! We have gone from Cheerleading to Softball so there are a few pictures.

District Wrestling

Today was the District Wrestling Tournament. Kyle wrestled at 119 lbs. His goal this year was to qualify for state. Those of you that know Kyle's past may wonder how he would ever reach this goal with the accident and injuries from just a year ago?? However, for Kyle, the question to wrestle again was always...Yes!! He has done such a great job this year. We are so proud of him and the hard work and many hours of practice. Today, he qualified for state, taking 2nd place!!! WOHOO!!! It was awesome!! He fought so hard!!! Thanks to all those that have supported him and had him in their prayers. We greatly appreciate all the love!! Kyle...you're the man!! We love you and can't wait to see you wrestle at the Holt Arena next week!! You reached your goal!! Malad took 1st place as team!!!

MHS Wrestling Senior Night

On January 20th, the Senior Wrestlers and Stat keepers were honored at the last home wrestling match. Kyle was among these Seniors and it was a great night. There were four Seniors honored along with two stat keepers. The wrestlers were Tallen Boyer, Kyle Davis, Derek Stagner and Hayden Scofield, stat keepers Jesse Corbridge and Rachel Peterson. The Seniors gave their mom a rose. We wrestled Bear River. Kyle had a JV match and won his match with a pin.

Update..

Just a little update from last week. Kyle wrestled at the Bear Lake Tournament on Saturday. He was in a 112 weight class "Pod". He took 1st place with a 2-0 record. He was excited, he pinned both times. He looked great and just keeps getting better and better. Malad took 4th overall as a team.







Ashlee decided that we needed to take some pictures with my new camera. She had tons of fun playing in the snow. Enjoy!! Love to all!!
