Busy! Busy!! BUSY!!!

Wow life has been crazy! So here is a brief overview of the month of August since it is almost coming to an end!

McKay started his Athletic Training program the very first of this month! It started with football and they were having two-a-days! So he would leave Enterprise at around 7:00 a.m. and get home around 8:00 p.m... so very long days for him but he seems to be loving it!

I finally got a job!!! Yeah! I am working at Cedar High School with the severe special need students and I already love it and the kids I work with!

We both started school this week and well it's school!

Hadlee's headstone was supposed to be here last week and somehow it now will arrive Sept. 1st they say... I hope because I have been really anxious! I hate this waiting game... plus her grave needs something it's so plain!

My sister came out to Enterprise this last Saturday and her my mom and I made it a day of making homemade salsa and finishing my BYU quilt... and yes it's finally done!

Last but not least Labor Day weekend Emilee invited McKay and I and Kelli to go with her and Lance to a Giant game at Dodger stadium for Lance's birthday and how could we turn down that fun? Well we couldn't so we have a trip here in about a week and I will update again then!

~Flaming Gorge~

It is a long post Ill warn you now... but this is my journal/scrapbook so I want everything on here!

After my family went to cousins camp this year we headed straight to Flaming Gorge! My family went there a lot when we were little but it has been a long time since we went, so as our summer vacation before life started we headed up there and had the time of our lives! We really enjoyed it!

Just driving up to the lake and about to go under kissing bridge!... (it's not really called kissing bridge it is just my family has always called it!) That is also my parents in front of us! We took our own car!Found our camping spot at the famous Mustang Ridge and getting ready to set up the tent trailer!Our camp! Sam and Scott decided to sleep in the tent with the food and clothes we shoved in there and the rest of us were in the tent trailer of course!The night we got there us kids decided to go fishing! So this is McKay filling up the bobber!Kay and Isaac fishing!The next day we took the Dam Tour!... always interesting! Kay (goofball I know), Isaac and Scott overlooking the dam!The Dam...At the end of the tour when you are all the way to the bottom by the river you get to feed the fish! There are tons... because they know thats where the food is and they are big and they wrestle over the food when you throw it in! Pretty funny!McKay eating lunch!That night we went fishing again this time right below the dam on the side of the Green River!

The boys waiting before the trek down! Kay thinks he is pretty funny!...So I told my family when we started this trip that no one ever catches fish when I go fishing with them! Sure enough no luck these first couple times!

Kay and I about to catch us some fish... beautiful river!

Kay about to go find the snake Isaac ran away screaming from!...Found the snake and was poking at it with his big stick!...Dad casting his line!...Kay and I decided to head up the river a bit! So here is my dad, mom, Isaac and Scott chillin' on the fishing dock!Kay casting his line!... yes he is standing in the water... it's freezing!!!... He usually is a super big wimp when it comes to water that is not 90 degrees! He usually won't get in... and he almost fell casting off his line... haha to bad!!!The next day we rented a raft and rafted the river! I was so excited for this day!!! Us unloading the raft!...The whole family went the first time down... it takes about 2 1/2 - 3 hours! Had so much fun! Jumped in a few different times... threw some people in a few different times... rocked the boat... almost got high centered on a rock... but of course McKay chickened out and wouldn't get in and my family was to afraid to throw him in!!! Lame!

The next trip just the kids went! We again jumped in a few times... went down a few rapids backwards just for fun... Isaac fished off the back... and we did a lot of circles... but of course McKay chickened out again and my family was lame again... so Kay still never got in the water!

Us kids starting our trek!!!At the end of the rafting trip you only have two chances to get to the boat ramp to get out... well us kids were being silly and missed the first one hit a huge rapid just after that almost threw McKay out of the boat and then we tried hard to catch the second one and barely did! Oh good laughs!!!

The next day we set up camp on the beach in a little cove off the lake and just swam the rowed around in the raft and tube we brought!

Kay being a wimp and my dad had just jumped in!!!Scott and Sam paddling around the cove!!!YEAH!!! Kay finally got in... Isaac, me and my dad just chilling!...Isaac stuck in the middle on the tube...McKay and I went and picked up Isaac...Then us ditching Isaac cause he was being silly!!!Skipping rocks...McKay, dad and mom sleeping under the canopy while I am trying to catch some sun!!!After we got back from swimming on the shore McKay and I showered packed up and left to get back to Enterprise for the 24th of July! My family stayed an extra day! On our way out McKay and I stopped at a lookout and got a picture of part of the lake and the bridge! BEAUTIFUL!!!

I just love Flaming Gorge and family vacations! Yeah for fun times!!! Yes they fished the night we left and caught two! Told you I was bad luck!!!

Gee I Wanna Go To COUSINS CAMP!!!

For those of you that don't know my Ferguson Family Reunion is called COUSIN'S CAMP!!! So this would be my mom's side of the family! We were able to go this year and I have to say we had a ton of fun! We headed up north to Cherry Hill a fun water park that we love to go to! It started Sunday the 18th of July at church for my cousin Ryan's mission farewell! Later that night we headed to my Aunt Diana's house for Donut night and the auction that raises money for the next years reunion! My family helped Di with the donuts and we made, cooked and glazed over 230 donuts! They were so amazingly good!

2 of 5 sheets of donuts!Sam and I glazing the donuts and donut holes!... YUM!!!

The next day we got to play at the water park, mini golf, batting cages, areo ball and of course eat a tasty hawaiian BBQ!

Isaac and Scott coming down the slide...Sam, Scott and Isaac going around the lazy river...Sam, Scott and Isaac coming down Cardiac Canyon...Isaac coming down Cardiac Canyon...McKay floating around the Lazy River...Next we went to help my parents with dinner after a full day in the water and sun!

Dad and I grilling up the chicken and beef!!! So tasty!!!After dinner Scott, Sam, Kay and I went to play areo ball! So here is a quick version of how you ball and what it is... you climb into a room by yourself onto a trampoline, there are 4 rooms... here is what it looks like from the outside...from the inside you jump on a trampoline and try to throw a soft basketball sized ball into the other players hoop while you try to protect it, so you are seperated by a wall that goes 3/4 the way up and you just jump and shoot! It is so freaking tiring!...

The hoop inside my playing field!McKay sneaking out the bottom of his to mine... silly boy!!!Next we went to the batting cages!

Kay hitting...Me hitting...Then some mini golf to end the night!So my grandpa and grandma Ferguson who started this way fun tradition of Cousin's Camp...Grandpa and my uncles minus one...Grandma and the girls...who all had lots of kids who are having kids to make this the best reunion and Ferguson family ever!!!
Who are all a little crazy which makes it fun and a time full of a lot of laughs!!!
