Our Weekend!

We had a fun weekend at mom & dad's cabin property for the 24th of July Green Reunion. It was a smaller reunion this year but we enjoyed the company of the Hilton family. Jenicee, Holliman's, Heather & the kids, & Grandma & Grandpa Gillman were all there and we had a good time.
Very relaxing!



A few highlights. . . Jenicee caught a huge FISH, Swayze rode Lollipop by HERSELF without being led, Shaun surprised Savannah with a NEW SADDLE for her pony. Pink, of course, and she was soooo excited, Steele was awesome on the PW50. Stockton fell off the top bunk in the trailer and BRUISED up his face, Shaun and Bo went for a 6 hour HORSE RIDE to set up the tree-camera on the East end of the big ridge, Jenicee herded the SHEEP off the property on the 4-wheeler at 5:30 a.m., Stone cooked FRENCH TOAST for everyone Sunday morning (with Jen's help), Shaun was the FIX-IT MAN for many of the RVs & cabins, loved the RAIN storm on Saturday night!

What doesn't kill me - can only make me stronger!

The kids and I hiked to Stewart Falls yesterday and it was absolutely beautiful. The kids had a great time and I felt like it was something out of the ordinary. Sometimes we have to push ourselves out of our comfort zone and not worry so much about everything else that is left a mess (i.e., house, laundry).

This summer has really been a downer for us due to the rain. For families who have outdoor plans, the rain is only torture. But, yesterday was beautiful and I knew that we needed to get out and enjoy the beautiful mountains that are within minutes from us. Bo asked me, "why have we never done this before when we live so close"? I didn't have an answer for him.

With or without Shaun (meaning, I need to be more independent), my children and I will be doing things like this much more often.

Head Shot!

Bo has been dabbling in the modeling and talent industry a little bit. He was signed with the Wilhelmina Agency in SLC. It's a large international agency. They claim he's a natural and was made for this kind of thing. Normally, they ask their clients to go through some training . . . but they think he's ready now, so this means they're just throwing him to the wolves - hoping he gets something soon.

He has auditioned for Fox Televisions new TV series "Diary of a Whimpy Kid" (based on the book) and he has an audition tomorrow for a new film called Anna's Letter - Very family oriented film and filmed here in Utah starting in July. It's a long shot - but still fun to try new things.

Here's a headshot taken by an award winning film photographer. YEAH!

Lot's more pictures to come in a couple of weeks.

Friendly Game of Volleyball!

We had a BBQ at Mitchells for Father's Day and they had set up the volleyball net. Keep in mind, we are not a very athletic family (at least the adults) but we gave it a shot.

Dad, Grandpa, Mom

And this is my battle wound from serving the ball. No pain, no gain!
