Fish Lake Trip

Spur of the moment, the Pettey's decided to throw caution to the wind and head down to Fish Lake for the weekend while Katie and Nelson were here. There were a few moments that we weren't sure it would work out - but, in the end, we made it and have some great memories to show for it. Here are some photo's and videos that I thought were fun.

We did the traditional stop in Nephi on the way down and gave Asher his first try on a swing. Typical non-reaction. Amazing. He was more interested in the chain holding the swing than the sensation of going back and forth.


Grampa showing Asher beautiful Fish Lake. Just imagine the things Grampa could share. Can't you just hear him saying "Asher, let me tell you a story..."



Nash and Asher finally had some time in the tub together - it was a riot. Here is video of them playing - so fun!



The next picture is also in the tub. It is so evident by the joy on Asher's face that he is having the time of his life so I had to share it. I can't help it. I have a dang cute kid!


We also put Asher in the Lake for the first time. Initially he really didn't like it - screaming, as if he had been bitten by the Lake Bug. However, Dad played with him a little and he seemed to endure it better the second time.



Three generations at Ray's Roost and Penny Rock. The memories that have been, that are and will be. Life is truly precious.

And, one final photo of all of us with the Lake in the background. Good people. Good place. Good times.

Fun Surprise, and Asher picture/vidoes

My wonderful husband called me yesterday morning saying he received an email from his Dad calling a family meeting. There was concern in his voice as he recalled the last family meeting was when he was about 12 yrs old. We then wondered what could be so important on such short notice. Finally, the hour arrived that we went to the Pettey home. When we all trickled in Bryce started talking about their wills, then I notice Marilyn coming up the stairs behind him. In her hands was our nephew, Nash, who was supposed to be in Connecticut. At first, I couldn't believe my eyes, but there he was, in real life. Then come his parents up the stairs behind him. Katie and Nelson surprised us with a visit! They plan to be here for 3 weeks - all of which will be filled with great times and wonderful memories to last a lifetime. Yeah!!! Bryce - we'll take that kind of a family meeting any time! :)

Anyway, here are some pictures/video's of Asher. He is SO MUCH FUN!!! Funny thing, when I try to take his picture the flash distracts him and he doesn't smile. So, his pictures aren't smiley, but the videos should show his happy personality.

This one was during the 4th of July trip to the cabin. Asher was sitting in the bouncer and whenever my niece Courtney would look at him and say "what?" he would start giggling. It was so funny I had to get it on video. So dang cute!



This was when my brother Dane came out here for guard training and met Asher for the first time. We are pretty proud of Dane right now as he just passed all his test's to become a flight instructor. Wahoo!

This next one almost drew tears to my eyes. Durrant's grandmother is 96 years old, and she is singing to Asher who is watching her with vivid attention. I love it.
