Yuba Labor Day 2008

We went 0ut for the day to visit mom, dad, Deb, Dan, Nikki & Cody at Yuba Lake. We didn't want to camp out there due to the last time we did, we almost lost the boat and the fact that the fishing is so bad this time of year. Anyway, the kids all got to play in the water and sand, we had a really nice dinner (Dan made his terrific rainbow stew), and then we go to have some "real" entertainment when Dan and Marlin had to pull some guy out of the lake. The wind had started blowing real bad and everyone was hurrying to get their boats and sea-doo's on their trailers and this guy had already been stuck a little further down and had to be pulled out by Dan and another truck. Then he came down to where we were at and got stuck again! He had a big four-wheeler in the back of his truck plus a little four-wheeler on the trailer for the sea-doos. Too much weight! Marlin and Dan were eventually successful at pulling him out and we had the biggest crowd of gawkers and supervisors ever!

Nikki's birthday party

Spent most of the day at Nikki's birthday party (she's 11 now!) at the Oquirh(I probably didn't spelll that right) Fitness Center. They had some really fun slides and a HUGE bucket that dumped water on people about every 15 minutes. At first Desi wouldn't go under the water from the bucket but by the end of the day, she was running over there before anyone else! Josh, Desi & I really had a great time and wished we could have stayed longer - much longer!

First school dance!!

Josh went to his first school dance last night! He said he had a good time and that his legs really hurt when he got home and I asked him how it went. When he told me his legs hurt, I said, "You danced with someone?" He told me no but that didn't mean he didn't dance by himself. He said that there was 1 friend that he hung out with and they had fun. I was acutally surprised that he wanted to even go. One of these days he'll be going to these things and actually enjoying the company of a girl (that's scary!)

Adams/Kidd Family Reunion

Well, I have tried to put this text with the slideshows that I have for the family reunion but for some reason, the slideshow quits working when I add the text. Anyway, I had to break the photos into 2 slideshows. I hope everyone enjoys looking at them as much as I did taking them. Sorry there aren't more (probably a good thing with all the trouble I had with the ones I did take). Sorry, too, if I didn't get everyone who attended. I tried to get at least one of everyone.

Josh's report on school

Well, when I asked how his first day was he said, "Fast." I guess he had a little trouble getting his locker open as he tried to open the wrong locker. All was well, though and he made it through the whole day. I think he's gonna like Jr. High just fine.

First Day of School

The day has finally come and Josh has started Jr. High! I can't believe how fast life goes by! I think I spent the majority of the morning hoping that he gets his locker open OK. It's now 3:42 pm and I haven't gotten a phone call telling me that he never made it to Tammy's house so I'm gonna take that as a hint that everything is OK. Will have to let you all know what he says when I ask him how is day was. I also got a couple of pix this morning that I'll post.

Adams/Kidd Family Reunion

Wow! What a good time we all had! Spanish Fork River Park was a great place to hold our reunion! Things were a little slow getting going but once we were there the fun began. We even got a BIG surprise when Vicki's brothers, Rick & Bill dropped in on us and joined in the festivites. Once we all got set up and settled in, it was time for horseshoes, playing kids (who wanted to keep playing all night long), golf chipping contest (a big thanks again to Rick & Bill for the prizes), food and great company. There was a pretty intense horsehoe contest between Aleca, Amber and Cori for a winter jacket, which Aleca won. The golf chipping contest was between just about everyone who could swing the golf club. Sandy was the big winner there and took the golf putter. The weather was just perfect, not too hot and very sunny. The wind blew in the afternoon just enough to keep us all cool but stopped a soon as the sun was going down. We had bonfires both nights (we decided to stay until Sunday) and there were marshmellows roasted. All the food was great (as evident when I got on the scale today)! The first night we had hamburgers and hot dogs with all the trimmings and the second night we had steaks that were bigger than our dinner plates with all the trimmings. Breakfast on both mornings was provided by John, Aunt Connie & Cori which was eggs with sausage and pancakes. The last night Robert started a game of passing a Nerf football and you could say something about the reunion, tell a story or joke, or whatever you wanted to talk about. There were many good things said and missing Grammy was mentioned a couple of times. I think that she would have been proud at the turnout we had and was smiling down on us the whole time. Roger and Joanne even flew in and we all got a chance to meet her son. I think everyone had a super time and we were all sad when it was time to roll up and head back to our respective homes.

Well, here we are!

OK, so we decided to take the plunge. It seemed like everyone but us had a blog so now we've can be conformers (bloggers), too.

School is just right around the corner and Josh is going into the 7th grade. Can't believe it!!! Tonight is Back To School night so we'll be able to meet all his teachers and I'll get to kinda take a tour of the school.

I'll get around to posting some pix when I have a bit more time.
