Beaver 

Sorry about the massive amount of pictures.  We were in Beaver this last weekend to visit Mom and Dad and see Kevin and Kent and their families before they take off to Dental and Pharmaceutical school.  Kent and Melanie are off to Boston Massachusetts at the end of August. Kevin and Robyn are going to San Francisco.  It was so fun to see everyone.  We also got to see Kurt and Whitney.  We  went on a picnic on Saturday up to Kent's Lake in the Beaver Mountains.  Melanie Kent's wife who is 6 months pregnant was having some sharp pains in her side. It all started happening the night before they came and the pain just kept getting worse.  Kent, Kevin and Dad gave her a blessing and Kent took her to the Beaver hospital.  All is well thank goodness!  Mel had a Kidney infection and is doing much better now.  We all played around fished, canoed on the lake, and rode horses.

Jared was Grandpa's little sidekick.  Grandpa found this hat for Jared to wear and he wore it all weekend.  Jared loved the horses and spent most of his time riding.

Kurt had a rubber band war with Tyler, Corey and Cole.  

There were plenty of wrestling matches.

Lyndie also loved the black hat.  She makes a cute Cowgirl mother.

Tyler and Corey relaxing

The Piano was great entertainment.  Abbie love the piano and someday I hope to get a Piano or a keyboard so she can take lessons.

Grandpa and Kassidy hanging out.  Kassidy was so much fun and provided a lot of entertainment for everyone. ( Kassidy is Kevin and Robyn's cute little girl)

Kurt is Kassidy's other Dad. He and Whit are always at Kevin house and Kassidy loves them.  It is so cute to see her with Uncle Kurt.  I don't know what they will do when Kevin and Robyn move.

Hangin' with the girls

Kassidy

We wore Grandpa out and Lyndie made for a good napping buddy.

While everyone was resting we decided to give the horses a rest as well.  Jared and Cole were'nt up for that idea they hopped onto the horses and sat there for about a half hour.  Cole would ask every once in a while "have the had enough resting."  They were hard core for the horse back riding.

Jason, Tyler, Corey and Kevin did some target shooting.

Lyndie ran around everywhere and crashed going down the steps of Grandpa's horse trailer.  She did a face plant into the ground and had a nasty scab from the wound.  She didn't bleed much though.

Kevin known as "Guy smiley" doing what he does best.  We love you Kev.

Grandma relaxing with the fam.

Cole found another one of Grandpa's hat  and wore it around too.

Too Cool!

Jared looking not so happy but I loved the picture.

Grandma put up with all of us.  Thanks for all you do for us Mom.  We love you Thanks for the fun weekend.

Kevin shooting the breeze.

Lyndie loved the horses too and would get so mad when it was someone else's turn to ride.

Yellowstone

After fishing Jackson Lake on Memorial day we headed to Yellowstone. We had such a nice time just wandering around looking at all the beautiful colors. 

We all took turns packing Lyndie around because we forgot the stroller and the backpack.

We ate lunch in one of the picnic sites just past midway geyser basin

Check out the spider cooking in this sulfur pot.

Fishing at Jackson Lake

For Memorial Day weekend we all stayed home expect for Jason he went to Lagoon on friday with the junior class for work (boy life is rough sometimes). Adam and Emily left Addalee, Jacob and Erick with us while they went to state soccer.  We had a total of 9 kids here (never a dull moment).  Corey and Cole were sick with colds and fevers.  They both slept most of the weekend.  Saturday Jason and Tyler went to Jackson Lake fishing while the rest of us stayed home and got nice and sunburned especially poor Erick since I missed a sunscreen application for him when all the kids decided to put on swimsuits.  Addalee had a bike accident and hurt her hand Emily took her to the Doctor later that week and they did an X-ray.  Addalee's hand was okay (thank goodness).  So the weekend was full of excitement. I was expecting someone to show up  with a straight jacket and take me a way to a nice quiet room somewhere but it never happened.  Instead, sunday Adam and Emily picked up there kids.  And over all it was not so bad we had lots of fun with the other Afton Isaacsons and everyone survived with minimal wounds .  Monday was our free family day (no extra kids) and we were all needing a break from the house So off to Jackson Lake and Yellowstone we went.  Tons of Fun!  A much needed break.  We took a cooler full of food and started off on our excursion around 5:00 a.m. that morning.  The kids had a blast fishing and throwing rocks at Jackson Lake. Corey, Tyler and Jared all caught fish. Here are the picture of our Trip. ( I know it surprising to see more fishing pictures on this blog)

This was the first fish caught this day by Jared.

Jared hoping to catch a whopper. 

(Peek-a-boo Abbie)  We found this cool old dead tree 

right above where we were fishing. 

Corey's fish did not want to hold still.  I thought it made for a cool picture.

Tyler is not excited at all. 

Jason setting up a pole for one of the kids.

Abbie is pretty happy about this trip.

Abbie being serious

Jared's fish.  He couldn't put it down and wanted to keep holding it sometimes I feel sorry for the poor fish that find their way into the little Isaacson's hands

Cole loved the rocks.

Abbie Fishing

Dad fishing with his girls.

Lyndie cried a lot ( I know surprising) she wanted to walk around but kept loosing her balance on the big rocks that covered the ground.  But when she was in Dad's arms with the fishing pole the tears stopped magically. 

Lyndie did not love trying to walk on these big rocks.  She tripped into the lake face first almost immediately and things just went down hill for her from then on out.  She got her face and an arm up to the shoulder wet when she tripped.  Mom had to save her.  

Corey and his stash of lures trying to pick the perfect one to catch that big fish.

Cole fishing patiently.

Mom and Lyndie  watching the fishermen. Someday Lyndie might let me  fish myself .
