Two Days With No Rain!!!

Well, somehow during the three or four week rain storm we were able to do a little fishing and camping. We had gone out a few weeks ago and no sooner did we get the boat on the water we were rushing to beat the hurricane. The next week I went out after work with my buddy Jason and we started catching a few a we got nailed by a storm. I got soaked from the waist down. I will remember in the future to bring rain gear for everyone on my boat so I don't have to share mine...

Anyway, Katie has been itchin to go fishin and campin for quite a while. We went out last Friday after work and she was able to catch her first Bass. She actually caught three. The first one was probably the fattest that we have pulled out of Ririe. We camped out that night and went back in the morning and caught two more bass and a little trout. So we ended up with six and one, but were only able to keep the two that Katie caught. Katie had to go back to town to take a test so I broke camp alone and just in time before the rain started up again. We hit a pretty good window there.

I keep learning about these smallmouths and I think I might be getting better at catching them. I just wish we had a lake close by that had a little better population.

We are going to Logan and Malad for the weekend. We have some good friends getting married on Saturday in Logan and will spend the rest of the time in Malad. Katie's family is having a reunion while we are at the wedding but we hope to be able to see everyone for a little bit before and after.

Can't Believe It's June!

I wonder if there is anyone I could outsource my blogging to. I will take the pics but need them to post stuff and make it look nice...

Anyway, we have been busy like always. Seems like there is always something with work, school, and play. With my job I don't see things slowing down much for quite awhile. I was able to get the boat out last week for a day and caught about a dozen small mouth bass. We hope to get back out this weekend and get some more. I love catching and eating them. We fried em up on Monday and they were delicious.

Over Memorial Day weekend we were able to meet up with my family at Aaron and Laura's house in Spring Creek, Nevada. Everyone was there except for my dad. We had a really good time. We went swimming, shooting, and took a drive up the canyon to see the spring runoff waterfalls. On our way back to Idaho we stopped in Tooele to put flowers on my great grandparents grave. It was nice to be able to stop in there. It had been quite a while since my last visit.

I was really close to my great grandma (Grammie). She helped me raise me. I remember her teaching me how to tell time and tie my shoes. Whenever I brought her a book she would take the time to site down and read it to me. When I got a little bit older (8-9), Grandpa Lyle hired me to water and mow the lawn at their house in Ely that Grammie lived in. I spent most of my summer days with her. As she got older and was on oxygen, we decided that when grandma and grandpa were out of town I would stay the nights with her. I did that for about two and a half years until she passed away Christmas day 1996. I will never forget the special times that we had together, and the all the stories she would share. She was such a strong hardworking selfless woman. A trait that she passed down to her daughter that was passed down to my mom. I will always hold my relationships with my grandparents close to my heart.
