4 Wheeler trip

June 29, 2009

Marysvale Utah

Randy Johnson put together a ride to show off the beauty of the Beaver mountians. We had a good day, nice weather and good company. It was great to spend the day with my Dad as well.

New babies

Misty(palimino) gave birth to a horse colt on May 15th at 5:30pm. Laura and her friend Kelsey were out in the yard when it happened and they saw the birth. They called me to come home quick, I was over to the neighbors, and see the new colt.

Then we waited and waited and waited some more for GoGo to have her baby. They were both due the same time but one went early and one late. GoGo finally had her baby on May 29th at about 11:00pm. I was out running kids to and from after school parties when we discovered the new filly. Both moms and colts are doing great. If you want to stop by and see them, I am more than happy to show them off.

Coral Pink Sand Dunes & Pipe Springs March 2009

As we drove to Kanab and back we listened to a great book called the Candy Shop Wars. Every time we got in the truck we had to turn it on. We would recommend it to everyone.

We went to the Coral Pink Sand Dunes and also went down to Pipe Springs in Arizona. It was a great trip and the hotel even had an indoor pool, so that of course made it even better.

Hawaiian Thanksgiving 2008

Last Christmas all the Jolley family talked about going somewhere for a vacation all together. We all decided to go to Hawaii for Thanksgiving. We had 18 of us all together. We were only missing one of my brothers and his family. It was lots of fun. We rented a beach house where we could all stay together, it had a pool and a hot tub as well. We went to Costco and bought the food and shared the cooking assignments. We went swimming, snorkeling, took a snokle cruise, went sight seeing to the volcano, sent to a laua, went sport fishing (which turned out to be chumming and no fish) and had lots of fun. Everyone got along well and we all had fun. We all would do it again in a heart beat, if money were no object. After we returned home we went on the Polar express in Heber City and Zane asked Santa for a return trip to Hawaii for Christmas this year. So, I know he had a great time.

Deer Hunt 2008

Trevor drew out on the Pansaguant for deer this year and so we have spent time scouting and looking for that big buck. We did find a few very good ones before the hunt, but that is BEFORE the hunt. We hunted hard and saw lots of bucks and some good ones that we passed on. Then right in Tropic Trevor shot this one. It was a great hunt. We saw lots of animals, shot some chuckers, shot at a few coyotes, but missed, and just spent time with Dad and my brothers. That was the best part.

Labor Day 2008

This summer we decided to invest in motorcycles, well I decided. Everyone now has a bike and we have had lots of fun. We went to Tropic, down by Bryce Canyon and spent a few days. We rode bikes around Troipc resiviour and at Grandma's in Marysvalle on the way home. We also went into the park and did the tourist thing. We have never taken the time to actually go into Bryce and show the kids where we both worked and see the sights. They enjoyed seeing the view points and listening to our stories about things we did and were we worked before we had kids. JoAnn worked in the lodge as a hostes in the dining room just after we were married. I worked on a youth conservation group when I was 12 and also worked with my grandpa on the horse rides for a couple summers. It was fun to see things again and see some of the changes over the years.
