It has been a while since last post

Well since last post a lot has happened. Work has been slow but still have a job so god is still sending us blessings. Nicole and Ben got their patriarchal blessings a couple of weeks ago and afterwards we went to dinner with Nicole, Ben and Ben's parents, it was good to visit and get to know Ben's parents better. Our ward was suppose to have the father and sons on the 15-16 but in the end they postponed it so Ryan and I took Dallin and Stevie fishing again up to Highland Glen park.
As you can see by the picture I also took the scouts out to the west desert and watched some awesome rockets being launched. We do this quite often as it is real fun to see the large rockets go up. Some of them are up to 10 feet tall and cost about 150-350 dollars to lauch which is more than I am willing to pay to launch so it is fun to watch others launch them. I f you want to go watch them they launch every 3rd weekend on the pony express route. To find out more go to uroc.com and you can find out when exactly the launches will be.
Fishing was slow but we still had a good time.
On May 12 I had surgery on my right hand to correct carpal tunnel it seems to be doing OK. It is still weak but coming along. I am off work until June 1 when I go back to the doctor to see if the hand is well enough to go back on light duty. I hope it is. We talked to Kade on Mothers day and it was just awesome to hear his voice and now we won't talk to him until he gets home. Janet had a good mothers day so did all the other mothers in our lives. This last weekend we went to Saint George to be with Nicole and Ben as they went to the temple to receive their endowments. All of our children except Kade was able to make it a part of the memorial day weekend. Ryan, Dallin, Saedy, and Aleana were in Saint George but Ryan stayed with the kids we did miss him at the temple. Steve stayed home with his kids and did some daddy time with them. I am so proud of Nicole and Ben and the decisions they have made. OH yea they Ben and Nicole have bought a condo down in Spanish Fork it is pretty cool. I was able to help them move some stuff in yesterday and Ben is now living there. As the wedding gets closer we are so happy that we have most every thing set up and just a few minor things to do to finish up. It will come together as we work together. June 6 at the Salt Lake Temple is the day for us proud parents to see our lovely Nicole marry our new son-in-law Ben. All of our children our now temple worthy and it makes a dad super proud. I know that we are truly blessed. We are looking forward to all of our children and their spouses to be with us to see this wonderful event we will miss Kade but he told us he will be with us in spirit. It is always wonderful to be with family no matter what the occasion.
On May 8-9 I went with the 1098 scouts and we hiked up Grove Creek canyon we went about 2.5 miles and camped over night. I can tell by the way I felt after the hike I am way out of shape and need to do somethings to get my self into better shape but as always unless I really set the goals and start working towards it I won't get it done... I won't be doing any long term camps this year with the scouts as I have taken time for surgery and will take time during the hunts. It is always fun to take pictures of anything but my favorites are the family and then the mountians or where ever I am camping. I totaly love the out doors. I hope everyone is doing well and may god bless you all.
