The Stumpe's went 4 wheeling!!

Last week, I told you we had a fun activity last weekend. Well, I'm trying to put some pictures up to let you know what we did. We rented 4 4wheelers and went 4 wheeling. We had a blast. We went down to Kanosh, by Fillmore Utah, where they have some good ATV trails. Reg and I, Mike and Chalece and Jaylee spent the night, but the others came up later. We all agreed we'll have to do it again sometime.







This is one of my favorite pictures. Matt, David, Mike, and Allan are ready to go. Scott, Jen and Danny did not make it because of a silly miscommunication problem with their mom. I really missed them.


I am glad Allan had a helmet on. He rolled his machine and hit his head on a rock or something. There was a mark on his helmet where he hit. He also did a lot of damage to his machine and scraped himself up good. He's lucky he didn't get hurt worse.



If you look really close at this picture you can see a branch in the tire. Matt ran into a tree and somehow got a branch in the tire.





































I wish you could see how dirty we really were after riding. These pictures do not do us justice. The scenery, however, was beautiful. Behind Reg is a volcano. It was pretty impressive when looking at it with your own eyes.














Mike, Chalece and Jaylee went for a little ride, but it was kind of long for Jaylee. I think she enjoyed it for a while, but then got tired of the wind and dust. They came back, and Mike and Chalece went again later without Jaylee.













Jaylee had a great time by the fire, but she got pretty tired. She had a nice place in the tent the next day to fall asleep so her mom and dad could go riding without her for a while.

Frost Family Reunion

We had a good family reunion a couple of weeks ago. We missed those of you who didn't make it. It seems like there are a lot of things trying for our attention and we can't do everything. I understand Bailey made her volleyball team, though. Congratulations! We need an update! and pictures!
I took a couple of pictures at the reunion, but it was with Mom's camera and her computer wasn't working, so I'll have to try and get them later. Rick took some pictures and said he would get them on. I hope he can get on without too much problem to do that.
School has started here, has been going for 2 weeks now. I am an aide at a different school this year, basically doing the same thing. I don't know if I will ever have my own classroom. I think sometimes I can help more kids when I can help them individually. I don't get as much money, though. I enjoy it. I like the kids.
Matt decided to go back to high school. He wanted the high school experience. Although he said he was beginning to have second thoughts. He is committed, though, so I think he will finish. He better. David is going to Utah Valley University, formally UVSC. He is going to train to be a pilot. He has a lot of hard work ahead of him, but he seems to be excited, except for the math classes he needs to take. He has come a long way the last couple of years and I'm excited for him.
Mike and Chalece have been up here for the last 3 weeks. He is doing a pharmacy rotation in a hospital up here. It has been good to see them and Jaylee. I babysat Jaylee the other night, but she cried nearly the whole time. She doesn't see me enough, I guess. Scott and Jen seem to be doing OK. Allan is starting school this week. Hopefully, he will finish up in the next couple of years. He just got a job at REI, which should help him with school.
Other than that, not a lot is happening. We did have a little outing last weekend, but I'll have to tell you about that when I can get some pictures up. Hopefully in the next couple of days.
