Jack Fence in Bull Canyon

Dale decided to do some decorating in Bull Canyon. ;) He wanted to put up a jack fence, it looks good and I for one am glad he did it, and I have had people from the Arbon valley comment on it and how good it looks. With all that said it was a lot of work. We as a family went and helped a couple of times, cutting down logs and dragging them off the mountain, and helping to put up the fence. Dale and Austin have been working tirelessly on it since last fall. We all decided to go out earlier this summer, it was a fun day and I took some pictures, the fence was finished this day. I thought I should bring my camera and capture this moment so that my boys can say someday to their children and grandchildren that they helped put it up. We had a lot of fun!

I have to say that this day I finally accepted that my boy was growing up, he did all the work that I would normally do. Maestin worked hard and was really good help. Maestin, Dale, and Austin

Addler taking a brake from fence building to hunt some gofers that taunted him all day!

The man in charge working hard like he always does.

Holdan wasn't out of the truck for five minuets when he fell in a little creek, it was cold that day and I stripped him down and put him in the truck, this is us getting ready to go up the house to start lunch and he is saying he is "cold!"

Not too happy about me taking a picture.

Maestin Basketball Camp

I have to say that it is a bit overwhelming trying to keep up with all that is going on this summer. But I am going to keep at it and maybe I will catch up when nothing is happening. When is that?

Maestin attended a basketball camp on June 15-17. This was a first for him and he really enjoyed it. I went and watched for a bit on the last day. They played five on five. He came home the second day and said mom do you know what shirts and skins are? Skins is when you take your shirt off! I think he thought it was cool, I had to just grin, he is growing up. Here are some pictures of him playing.

They had awards at the end this is a picture of just before Maestin got his award.

Maestin received most improved player. The other two boys are Hayden Degn and Cameron Livingston, they were the three in their age group to get awards. Maestin just missed winning the free throw contest. They tied and had to shoot until one missed.

I liked this picture of the coach talking to his team.



This is a random picture, but Maestin and I had the opportunity to go the Scout Jamboral it was 100 years of Scouting. It was held at the Eastern Idaho state fair grounds in Blackfoot. There were hundreds of boys there, it was fun to be there as a scout leader and with my boy. He had a lot of fun too.
