Bob's birthday!

Bob is officially a teen now - 13!! We had a fun party for him with just our family. He chose orange chicken for supper and ice cream sundaes for dessert. After opening presents he spent his time putting together the bionicle and lego he got. What more could a boy ask for!

We kind of got him to smile.

The Mikesell boys...

This is his preferred face for a picture.

Ice cream! Yumm!

UEA

This year for our UEA break we went to Star Valley. Friday we went to Cottonwood Lake and walked around the lake. Then we went to my nephew's (Cameron's) football game. It was a really good game that ended with a huge win - always better.

The kids broke the ice on all the puddles along the way around the lake.

We have wanted to take the kids to the Intermitting Springs while it is intermitting and this was our chance. Bob and Garth went with the scouts just two weeks before we were up there and it was really nice. Then three days before we went, it turned cold and snowed. So it was actually a first for me. I haven't been up there when there is snow like this before. But it was still beautiful - and fun.

It was pretty slick coming down from the mouth of the geyser.

Here is no water coming out.

Now there is lots of water coming out.

Its always fun to see it stop and start.
