“The submission of one’s will is really the only uniquely personal thing we have to place on God’s altar. The many other things we ‘give’ … are actually the things He has already given or loaned to us.”

Yellowstone Sunday - June 27th



Dallan & Jamie




L-R: Shayne & Pepper, Jamie & Dallan, Dustin & Erica, KayCee & Kendal at Old Faithful

Da Boys! Dustin, Kendal, Dana, Shayne, and Dallan





Beaver just chillin' in the river.


I took this pic of this guy just b/c I couldn't believe someone was really stupid enough to get this close to a buffalo. He had his wife and kid standing just out of the picture and was encouraging them to get closer. Seriously, this guy thought he was the COOLEST b/c he got so close to the buffalo. IDIOT!!



Erica & Dustin









Elk Valley...can you see the two bull elk laying in the grass?


On Sunday Dana, Jonette, Shayne, The Bug, and I went to church in West Yellowstone. It was a great little church that was packed to the hilt with lots of visitors...reminded me of our own ward here in the summer time. After Sacrament meeting my dad's cousin Dennis and his wife Kathy came up to me. They recently bought a cabin in the area and were working on it. They saw us during the meeting and couldn't believe I was there. I talked to them for quite a bit...it was so fun to see them.

After church, Grammy Jo watched the kids while the rest of us went for a drive into West Yellowstone. It was so fun to just hang out with everyone and enjoy the great stuff that is in West Yellowstone.

Of course, we had to do the token stop at Old Faithful. It's not as cool as I remember it, but hey...it was all good. KayCee, Kendal, Dallan, and Jamie had to head back to their homes after Old Faithful, but Dana, Dustin, Erica, Shayne, and I continued to drive the loop through West Yellowstone. It was so beautiful.

Very glad we did it.

And Grammy Jo had a great time with The Bug and PresLee. It was nice to be able to leave him with his grandma and enjoy some time with Shayne.

The Yellowstone trip looked fun. We lived in Billings, MT for almost 3 years and there were so many tourists getting gored by buffalo from getting too close (Summer of 1988 or 89)that someone started selling T-shirts with the latest "score" Buffalo vs tourist and the Buffalo were in the lead all summer!!
