Jordanelle 2008



This is always a fun family reunion with the Stalker side. We have been doing it for about 8 or 9 years now and this is the first year I braved trying to ski behind the boat. Well, it wasn't really skiing but I can't remember what that board was called. Anyway, I payed dearly for my adventurous spirit. Sore muscles for several days. We all had a blast. Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa and Sandi and Scott who provide all the toys.

Girls Play While the Boys are Away

The Boys went camping. Ben has been asking Nate when they were going to do their "just the boys" camping trip ever since summer started. Finally, last weekend they braved the wilderness. I don't think Ben could have loved anything more. He came home and told me all about their "stars game". Who ever saw the next star to appear was the winner until there were so many stars that they couldn't play anymore.

Now, the girls can't just sit around while the boys have fun. . . so we met up with Aunt Tiffany, Sophie, and Gracie to build bears and have dinner. Those girls walking down the mall packing their little bears on their backs was so adorable. I can't tell you how many looks we got walking through that mall.

Writer's Block

I've been staring at my blog for several days now, trying to come up with something to add. Unfortunately, I am just all blocked up. I need some inspiration . . . I need a vacation. If I could go anywhere in the world right now I would go to Bolzano.





Unbelievably, I lived there for 3 months. It is simply the most charming, beautiful, peaceful place I've ever seen. I wish I was there.

Where do you go to have fun?



What fun we had playing the other night. And where, you may ask, did we have all this fun. Duh! At the rest stop of course. It is the totally cool place to hang out these days. You have just got to go there!

MMM. . . Chocolate!

What happens when you leave your children to make chocolate milk while you are in the shower?

Wild Fourth


We really packed it in on the July 4th. I am still recovering. Balloons, parade, picnic lunch, rafting on Provo river, bar-b-que dinner, and fireworks at Thanksgiving Point. The kids didn't get to bed until after midnight. Crazy, but hopefully we made some good memories.
