Another installment of....

"We interrupt this family to bring you football season."

AAHH... Football fever. It starts earlier every year. This year was particularly early because Justin was working on his Broncodashboard App. It is in the store now, so if you have an iPhone/touch be sure to download a copy. A big thanks to those who have already bought one!

Jamon had fall camp last week.

It was put on by the high school football team. Jamon proved himself a worthy opponent and made running back. Practices start tonight. Five nights a week until Jamboree. Jamboree is the official kick-off to the season and each team gets to play a 6 minute scrimmage down at Boise State. As you can imagine, Jamon is SO excited to play on the blue!

Football fever has officially spread throughout my whole family. Last night as we were watching We are Marshall (yes, a football movie) Carter leaned over to me and said: "I guess I will be interested in football so I can kick the crap out of people."

Oh great!

Happy Football season everyone!

Isn't Life Grand?

Who: The Kay Men + 3 boys who hiked like men

What: Second annual hike to Table Rock (the Grand Tetons)

When: Last weekend

Where: Trailhead in Driggs....7 a.m.

Why: Male bonding at it's best

I couldn't believe it when the boys said they wanted to hike with Justin. It's strenuous at best for the grown-ups, let alone two boys. Justin said they did awesome though. I guess so because they made it all the way to the top! The summit is 11,000 ft. To put this into perspective for you...when I went skydiving, we jumped from the plane at 12,000 feet. So, these boys did some serious vertical climbing. Those of you who are familiar with the hike will understand the significance of what they accomplished. Way to go fellas!

Jamon took a bit of a spill (literally fell and started rolling/sliding down the mountain). Luckily he escaped with just a raspberry down his left side. It could've been way worse judging from each account of the story I heard. I'm grateful that he was surrounded by such capable men. If something more serious were to have happened to him, he'd have four of the most worthy priesthood holders I know up there with him. Needless to say, he was definitely being watched over!

It was definitely an experience they'll always remember!

"I'm your Huckleberry...."

As is tradition, we went to Heise Canyon to pick

huckleberries while we were home for the funeral.

This is one of the things I love most about my in-laws....

they work hard and love doing it.

In fact my father-in-law teases about having nightmares about Jamon's poor performance last

year. He says it's part of his heritage. I guess that's true.

Anyway, it's so fun to be up on the mountain together,

talking and picking. It takes all day and

it's extremely labor intensive.....

but the huckleberry cheesecake that follows is soo worth it! So is going to my freezer all winter to retrieve

my prize. By the way, they sell huckleberries on

roadsides for $45 a gallon.

That's right...$45! I wouldn't sell my berries for any

amount! It's way too much work getting them.

Anyway, it was the first time picking for our new

sis-in-law, Abi. She was a good sport & I think she had a good time.

I just don't think she was expecting it to take so long.

My ADORABLE niece came with us. She belongs to these great people...

and I think she makes me want to have a baby girl.

hmm..... What do you guys think?
