We have been cutting our Christmas Tree for many years now at the Boyscout ranch near Redfeather Colorado.  One priority for us is to get our picture taken with Smokey the Bear each year.  Here are some of our pictures we have had taken over the years.

Tyler’s first year of TBall.  He was a bit shy at first but after the first game it is now one of his favorite things to do this summer.  We did swimming and t-ball this year to expose Tyler to summer sports.  He loved both, and became very good at each sport.  Noah was a bit young for t-ball, but he did do swimming.  Tyler was good at swimming under water.  He could hold his breath for a long time.  Noah on the other hand was our little cannon ball.  He enjoyed jumping in from the side of the pool.

Tyler’s team in 2010 the WhiteSox.  Thad Fuller and his wife were Tylers coaches.  The season started with Loveland not having a coach for the team, and started asking all the parents to volunteer.  Thad has done a wonderful job with our team.  We even had a few outs this year.  Great job coach! 

GO WHITESOX!!!!

Windriver dock under snow.

Tyler catches the first and the largest fish for the day.

Daddy catches his first fish for the day.

Noah even reeled in a fish.

Momma caught a few before this but had to show the one that flopped around in the snowbank for a while.

The two fishermen of the day.  We limited out but it was Tyler and Jennifer that caught the most.  In Wyoming the childrens fish count toward the adults creel limit.  Our creel limit on trout is 6 per licensed adult.

This would be Tylers largest fish.  Little over 13 1/2 inch Rainbow Trout pulled out of Windriver lake on our first day fishing for the week.

Tyler with his big catch of the day.

First use of the cleaning station.

Another angle of the cleaning station with fish in clean water side for show.  We ended up using the other side to cut fish and clean out guts, then put them in the clean water side to rinse just before putting them in a bag to later be cooked and eaten.

Another picture to show the size of Tylers fish and show of cleaning station.

Our second project for the day was to create some steps to get up into the camper.  The camper steps would not fold out corectly to fit on the deck and our little black step was just that, too small.  I measured from the deck to the the stepout on the camper, then divided by three to give me the height of the two steps.  We had left some nails there from the previous bi-annual reunion and put the steps together.
