Family Reunion at Little Creek Ranch

2009-05-28T09:28:00.001-07:00

This was an absolutely wonderful year at our family reunion. It was so great having everyone together all though we very much missed mom and dad. The kids had an incredibly fun time spending so much time together and the adults had so much fun talking that our 2:00 bedtime became the norm. I know there are A LOT of pictures here but I just couldn't leave some of these cute ones out. Hope you all had a fabulous time. we love you!

Annual Easter Egg Hunt

2009-04-22T21:55:00.000-07:00

Sorry I know that these pictures are in the wrong order but oh well.

Easter was fun as always and Rick and Lorrie are wonderful for hosting. Their yard obviously works the best for the egg hunt but when you add in homemade bbq hamburgers and hot dogs...well it just doesn't get any better then that.

Random Pictures

2008-12-18T09:13:00.000-08:00

These are a bunch of cute pix that Ashlee sent me from our fun family reunion down in Torrey this year. So fun! ANYONE is welcome to send me pix (hint hint) and I will get them up on the blog.

Halloween Pictures...FINALLY!!!!!!!

2008-12-03T17:49:00.000-08:00

Well I finally figured out how to extract pix from a zippered folder so I wanted to share these cute pictures of the grandkids on Halloween. Fun Fun Fun

Successful muzzleloader hunt!...well kinda...

2008-11-16T09:19:00.000-08:00

This was the first year the Chesnut men decided to try muzzle loading, and the only hunt we could all agree on was spike elk as it fell on a weekend other then conference weekend where we could get away and not feel guilty with missing conference. The elk was nowhere to be found but Rick and I found a new kind of muzzle load hunting...Grouse hunting with muzzle loaders...and I must say we were pretty darn good!

We did find some time to enjoy each others company and enjoy the warm sun for a few hours. I don't think we hunted real hard but it is always fun to get out with family and enjoy the outdoors.

The Chesnut Deer hunting spot, isn't it beautiful! This hole has provided a lot of big deer over the years, this year...was a little different year as we didn't see hardly any deer...Jason actually didn't see anything but the mighty hunter Rick saw two deer and shot one of them...way to go Rick!!! Now your boys are proud to hunt with their dad. hehe.

The morning was very cold as Matthew's face buried in his jacket proves. Rick and the boys wanted to hang with Jason as he has had the hunting luck the last few years but it proved to be in vain as Jason's spot didn't have any deer in it this year.

Rick's Trophy! Way to go Rick, you now have the Chesnut bragging rights... for the next year anyways. Rick has had the success lately as he has shot the last elk and the last deer, can we consider this a dynasty...probably not, but at least he has two sons that look at him in awe now. Hey Jason, you better get serious here or Rick is going to take your place as the mighty hunter.

Kaycee and Jason went hunting Monday afternoon and the only thing they came across was this huge elk rub. Taller then Kaycee, must have been a big bull. Kaycee had a great time hunting with her dad and Jason loved having his buddy with him.

Mike and Liz's beautiful new home

2008-09-29T13:27:00.000-07:00

Mom and Dad spent the weekend down in Las Vegas with Mike and Liz and got some great shots of their house. I am anxious to see it as well...aahhh to have the "knack" for decorating the way those 2 do. Hey guys, wanna come up and re-do my house? Just a thought :0)

I am anxious for Christmas when we can all be together again. By the way everyone, we are planning to do a big family picture on the Saturday after Christmas so everyone start planning on that now. We need to figure out a color scheme so any one's ideas would be appreciated. Just let mom know. My friend Angie is going to do them and she does a terrific job. We will let you know more details as it gets closer.

Another quick word...I need to get some pictures from you all to get up here. I really want this to be a family thing not just a Paige thing. I really want everyones pictures. It makes it much more fun. Oh and it wouldn't kill you to leave a comment or 2 (thanks mom and dad...oh and Jake:-) Ok lets get this going shall we? LOVE YOU ALL!!!

p.s. If you'll notice, the blog now has music as well. I tried to find some songs that would remind you of your growing up years (we all know how much dad loves Willie) but I am more then happy to add any songs that you guys would like. If you email me with your request I will get right on it! Enjoy

Memorial Day 2008

2008-09-29T08:48:00.000-07:00

I thought it would be fun to put some pictures on here of Memorial day while Mike and Liz were up here. It is always so much fun to get together and spend the day eating and visiting and eating and laughing and eating and....you get the picture. I love to see the pictures of all the kids together because it's so obvious that they are having so much fun being together. I really love that. What a great family we have!!!

Family Reunion 2007

2008-09-22T11:44:00.000-07:00

I thought it would be fun to post some pictures from our camping family reunion at Fish Lake last year. It was a lot of fun but we sure missed the Allan family. The kids enjoyed being at the lake and chucking out sticks as far as they could and watching Powder bring them back.

Sitting around visiting is always so enjoyable. I think the kids would rather spend time playing with their cousins then anyone else and that is exactly as it should be.

I'm not going to write a big long tutorial of what happened at the Family reunion because...well you were all there and aware of what happened. If any of you have some fun pictures that you would like to share (Garrett; like that pix of Ashlee at 1:00 in the morning- he he) please email them to me and I will get them posted. Sorry about all of the swimming pictures but they were all so cute that I couldn't narrow it down. We have the cutest kids in the world. We sure love you all and are so glad that we were able to spend time together in beautiful Torrey. It makes me so thankful for the knowledge that Families are FOREVER!!!
