HAPPY BIRTHDAY STUART!

Stuart spent his birthday in the Uintahs. So, we haven't really celebrated yet. But, he's the big 29! He decided that he needed some more bass for his jeep, so here he is installing the sub-woofer from the Beast Truck. Running wires...
The amp and sub-woofer... the amp is under the back seat now.
More technical stuff... it sounds great though!
This is Stuart's main birthday present. He actually got it early, but we decided he needed it for Bear Lake. It's a great deck... it plays right off of our Ipods. Yeah!

Stuart's Scout Camp

Stuart is in the Young Men's in our ward. This year the teachers went on a high-adventure up to Red Castle in the Uintahs. It was a 4 day camp. It was going to be 5 days, but 4 was enough for them all! :) Here is Stuart ready to go... I was very sad. Thanks Whit for the help!
I can't really say much about these next few photos... cause I wasn't there...
This was their camp.

They did some fishing in a river. They actually caught the fish by hand. It sounded really fun!

Stuart's Lip

So, Stuart had this thing inside of his lip that looked like a huge bubble. It was a gland that was clogged (at least I think) because of getting hit in the lip. Well, last August we had the dentist look at it, and he removed it by cutting it out and stitching Stuart up. Well, it came back a few months later, bigger and stronger. So, we took Stuart to a dermatolotist (aka Heather) and they lazered it. It looked extremely painful, and I guess it was. Anyways, this is a few days after it was done, so the swelling had gone down... but you can still tell his bottom lip is huge! (By the way, he was trying to look miserable in this picture) This is a picture of the inside. It looked even grosser a few days before this was taken. It's been a week and a half, and now it's starting to hurt him. Yuck!

Brower Family Photos

While the Brower family was at Bear Lake, we had some professional photos taken by Julie Kirby (simplyouphoto.com)- a cousin of the Browers. She did an amazing job! I've posted just a few here.
Here is the family picture! We had to do a funny one!
Then we pulled up the two jeeps to have some fun pictures on.

Here are the girls getting their picture taken...
And here are the Brower Men!

Before/After Jeep photos



Here is a picture of Stuart's jeep before driving through the gross mud and then after. We didn't get a picture of what we looked like, but we were COVERED with mud. When we got home we cleaned up the jeep, and it took forever.

Jeeps!




We took the jeeps off-roading up at Bear Lake. It was a ton of fun! I love our jeep!!! The first picture is of Stuart and Michael coming down a VERY steep hill. The middle picture is of Stuart and Michael after doing a little off-roading... Michael bought Stuart's old Willy's Jeep. The last picture is of Michael and Sherry in their jeep.

Fun with the 4-wheelers!






Here we are enjoying the 4-wheelers at Bear Lake. We went on some awesome rides and saw some beautiful views... but of course, I forgot my camera. Oh well, there's always next year. For some reason I didn't get a lot of pictures of people on the 4-wheelers... maybe it was because I was so busy riding mine! :) Stuart and I bought our 4-wheelers last year, so this was the first year we got to take them up! This was the first year Stuart and I brought ours up, they were tons of fun! The first picture is of Celeste, then next is of Stuart drinking soda and riding on his 4-wheeler... what talent! Then there is a picture of him jumping his. Then Justin riding through the stinky mud and Becca and David posing on one!

Bear Lake!






Here are a few of us enjoying Bear Lake. We go up every summer with the Brower Family for a week. It's a blast! First in these pictures we have Catherine and Heather sunning themselves on a tube, then we have Catherine and Mason ready for a tube ride with Stuart leading them out to sea. Next we have Celeste trying to get tan, then comes Mason and Grandpa. And last, but not least, we have Helen showing us her love-affair with Grapefruit while sitting in the nasty warm water.

The Boys...



Well, as usual, we have bad luck with vehicles at Bear Lake. This year it

was Michael and Justin's turn. Justin's truck broke down on the way to return the wave-runners. Michaels got water in the fuel pump. This is a picture of the manly men with their blowdryer trying to dry out the parts! It's a very serious job.

Kids Enjoying Bear Lake!





Here are a bunch of the kids enjoying Bear Lake... I'm not sure if I have a picture of all of them. Enjoy! Jack and Nate





A few more of the kids... Kaden, Kate, David & Nate, Kaden and Elise (I have no idea how to spell her name... sorry!)

More Nieces & Nephews






Here some more pictures of the cousins! David, Becca, Andee, and Madalyn.
