Our Weekend

Bennett Update!!!
We talked to the Dr. Kimball on Friday. He said that Bennett was clear to go serve the Lord. He has something called congenital loose shoulders. Which means he inherited them from his dear ol' dad. He is to stay away from mean games of 4 square and other crazy activities that cause his shoulder to slide out. Thank you for all the prayers in Bennett's behalf. We appreciate all of the support!!
Here are the babies on Friday June 5. The nest was just about to over flow.
Then on Saturday morning the nest was empty.
Saturday afternoon we found 2 of the four babies.

They were in two different trees.
The mother bird was still feeding them as they hopped and fluttered from branch to branch.
It made me think of my fledglings as they try out their wings. I still want to take care of them and make sure they are safe, but they have to keep trying their wings until they are able to take off on their own. We have loved watching this little family as they hatched from 4 little, greenish, blue eggs and grew to birds in flight. What a fun learning experience.

A day of fishing at Blacksmiths Fork.

It was cold and windy but when the sun came out it was bearable.

As you can see we were quite successful.
Parker caught 7 and released 2.
Connor caught 3 - 2 on his fly pole. He released 2.
Todd caught 1 on Quincy's princess pole.
Quincy and I were in the car getting warm!
We took them home and cooked them over the fire.
I've never considered myself a fresh fish lover, but these were very good.
Quincy loves fish too.
Connor caught these Tuesday, June 2 with his buddy, Lenard.

QUITE A CATCH!!!!!
