FiShLaKe

Well every year we have the Kesler Family Reunion at Fish Lake Utah and it is so fun to get together.  We rent the same cabins year after year and there is getting to be quite the crew of us. Jim was not able to go again this year and we missed him not being there.  I had to work so we headed out as soon as I got off work Friday and stayed the weekend.  We had a great time and look forward to it again next year.

Eastons Birthday was Friday so we celebrated up there with birthday cake.  He loved serving the cake to everyone.

We played with play dough

Bubbles

Pam & Lloyd do a fish pond every year that is a huge hit.

We played games (Sock Head)

Went Fishing

And just hung out.  Great Times!!

C-Ya Next Year!!!

Lovely Lake Tahoe

Well each year we go on a family vacation and we try to go somewhere new.  This year we went to Lake Tahoe.  We had a great time and enjoyed many different activities.  The water was still to cold to play in and we got into snow on some of our hikes, but other than that we had a great time.  The drive out there is so boring and we only saw 2 things the entire way.  One Jim was way excited about a desert sheep and the other not so excited about a cop and yes he did get a ticket. 
***Enjoy the pictures***

Of course we loved the pool and hot tub!

The whole family enjoyed playing tennis and racquetball.

We saw a Cowboy Show that was very funny.  We were laughing the entire time!

Ridge Loved the Train and when it blew the whistle this was his priceless face.

We toured a mine.

Virgina City - NV (So Fun!)

Sunny San Francisco

 Well I went to San Francisco in April and saw Wicked which I loved.  While we were there seeing that performance they had a little trouble with the mic and we ended up getting free tickets to come back. So this time I talked Jim into coming with me.  It was soooooo good to spend some time alone with Jim.  I hate leaving the kids and it is such a pain to get babysitters and arrange everything, but we were past due for a trip with just the us.  

Our first stop was to see "Wicked".  Don't tell anyone, but Jim even liked it.  If you have not seen it you are missing out.  It is a great show.

  










The next morning we headed to Alcatraz. 

Row of cells.

The Lunch Room. Part of the reason Alcatraz was closed was due to cost of up keep.

















Whats left of the Wardens House.

Jim in the isolation cell.

The rooms were tiny just enough room for a bed to drop down, toilet, and sink.

That night we headed to Peter Pan.  I was excited to see this because it was 3-D.  I have never seen anything like that before.  The 3-D was really cool, but I was really disappointed in Tinker Bell.

The next morning we walked down to the Golden Gate Bridge.  The following pictures are from our walk and at the bridge.

After we spent sometime at the Golden Gate Bridge we headed to the Science Museum.  I love watching the jelly fish and other than the Museum was really crowded it was a lot of fun.

Of course a trip to San Francisco would not be complete without eating at Bubba Gumps.  We had to eat here twice we loved it so much!!!!

A special thanks to all those who helped with the kids and made this trip possible.

A Day for Dad!

***Picture Overload***

Well let me just start off saying that Jim is not into wrestling.  He does not enjoy sitting at a meet all day long to watch the boys wrestle for maybe a few minutes (coming from a family of wrestling I on the other love it).  When I first told him I was going to sign the boys up for wrestling he said you are not, so since then he has come a long way and is a more supportive of them.  With the meets being on Saturdays it keeps our weekends tied up all season.  We had a break in wrestling last weekend and the kids and I decided it would be fun to surprise dad and plan a fun day for him.  We told him we were going  stay home and clean the house.  I secretly got lunches, camo-packs, and everything we needed loaded in the car then Trey and Easton ran a (cheesy) note in to Dad. It said:

  We don't want to work. We are ready to play,
  So grab a jacket.  Today is family day.

  Moms got everything packed & we're ready to go.
  We're hoping for good weather.  We don't want it to snow.
  
  Wear some good shoes we may do some walking.
  And its hard to hear a dead man talking.


  So climb aboard and have on good socks.
  Cuz' everyone knows the JENSE FAMILY ROCKS!

We started our day at Virgin.  It was fun for the kids to feed the animals carrots and get some good photos.

Yee Haw!!!

Then we headed into Zions and spent the day hiking and climbing.  We had a ball, but it was packed.  We avoided to people and did not go on any trial we just blazed our own.  The kids loved it.

It is so beautiful there!

Ridge & Aspyn keep looking in the holes trying to see if something was in there.

After lunch and some hiking around Zions were headed to Grafton, Utah.  Trey has been learning about ghost towns at schools and has been wanting to visit one for sometime.  The kids had a lot of fun reading and exploring the little town of Grafton.

All in all it was a fun day as a family and we just want to say thanks Dad for putting up with the long wrestling season and being a good sport.  We love you and appreciate all you do for us!!!!!!
