Managing Mayhem

First of all, let me do some catching up of the 'Good Byes' we did during our last two weeks in Utah. and then, until I can download the pictures of the move off my cell phone, we'll have to skip to the FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL, which was one week after we moved to Cody, Wyoming.

We said 'Good Bye' to American Preparatory Academy (which the kids have since missed sorely once they began school in Cody)

One last 'Hurrah' at Raging Waters. See that slide in the back? We all went down that!

After 12 years, we said our final 'Good Bye' to Echo Reservoir where we skied EVERY single Monday the entire summer without missing one single year!

Bradley learned to slolam this year

Morgan's ride of the summer.

The BEST Helaman Scout Camp in the world!

Wes Murray and his watermelon warrior's mask

The BEST ward parties ever!

Wes Murray again, only that normally he's bald.

We said 'Good Bye' to our house...our home.

"Good bye" Hawaiian sunset dream retreat

Leaving behind spring blossoms....

Nope, we're not leaving him behind. He's too cute!

And just a short 8 hour drive over the hills and through the canyonlands we find ourselves in the little town of Cody.

And here we are, one week later after we've moved and it's the kids first day of school. It's 'the most wonderful time of the year'. I challenge you to find anyone who disagrees with me!

What do you see in Cody that you don't see in Salt Lake you ask? A tree of vultures. This one is one block away from our house. I wonder what attracks them to our neighborhood. I hate to think about it!

You also see deer in your neighbor's yard. They eat everything...

That's why our bushes look like this. That's as far as they can reach up

And when your best friends are not in Salt Lake, that's because they're visiting you!

And they brought with them a little bit of home to help ease the Bradley Blues.

Oh darn, it's Fast Sunday and we're all cheering a delicious breakfast!

Yellowstone National Park is literally a stone's throw through this canyon.

More pictures of the house and Morgan (which I have some how left out) are on the way! Stay tuned.
