EXCITING NEWS!!

OUR FAMILY IS SOOOO EXCITED, JOEY HAD HIS FIRST INTERVIEW & ACCEPTANCE FOR MEDICAL SCHOOL!!!!!! HIS INTERVIEW WAS FRIDAY AND THEY CALLED HIM MONDAY TO ACCEPT HIM FOR THE FALL OF 2011. HE HAS OTHER INTERVIEWS COMING UP, WE ARE ALL VERY ANXIOUS TO SEE WHERE JOEY AND RAEGAN WILL CALL HOME FOR THE NEXT 4 YEARS!


IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THESE TWO WILL HAVE THE TITLE OF "DR" BEFORE THEIR NAMES, HOW COULD ANYONE TAKE THEM SERIOUSLY?!!(I can blackmail them forever with this photo, hee hee)


Jim is on a bull-elk archery hunt for 2 1/2 wks and my house is very quiet. There are a few positive things about it though, he is spending quality time with his Dad & brothers, I am getting a lot of "things" done, and my house has stayed clean! I was able to go up there & stay with him in a friends cabin for three days and loved every minute of it! The extra bonus was Joey was able to go with Jim for an evening and then again an early morning hunt on his way back to Utah!!


Those are some mighty fine looking clothes Jim is sporting!

Pops, Jim, & Larry comparing facial hair (minus Willie, unfortunately, he was unable to stay the 2 weeks)






I could do without the bugs & dirt, but I absolutely love the smell of the pine trees & the feel of the cool mountain air.

I love seeing the bright stars against the dark sky & the beautiful sunsets. I took this picture one evening as I was watching the sun go behind the mountains.

And I love the beautiful wildflowers

I am already looking forward to the next trip up to the mountains!!

Jim playing in his treehouse ("tree stand")

I have a feeling, that it is best we don't know what these three were talking about or doing, around the campfire late at night!

This was so hilarious watching Tre & Brody play Hide & Seek around the trunk of this tree, they did this for the longest time!





The kids loved to go searching for "creatures" in the forest
