Climbing the Wall

Geoff and Chris enjoying the rock wall in the back yard, they are good to be out there with each other helping and spoting each other so they don't fall.

Club House/Rock Wall

This is the almost finished Club House with a climbing Rock Wall on the side. Todd and the boys have been hard at work trying to get this finished, we only have some trim on the outside, harness and safety fall zone and hammocks to hang up on the inside for sleeping and they should be completely finished. The boys have been free climbing and Nate sleeps out in the club everynight he can

It is a 16ft climbing wall, the blue tape that you see is a climbing course Nathan made for them all to try, when you reach the x you hit it with your hand.....no buzzer yet.

Trees are for climbing

Nathan has a new love for free climbing, it doesn't matter what it is he wants to try and climb it. This tree he is climbing is at the park just down the street from our house, from the bottom to the crotch is about 12 feet and he just climbs it looking for bark to hold on to. We are almost through with our rock wall in the back yard so he and the others boys can climb whenever they want. Enjoy looking at the other pics of him.

Survivors

Geoffrey suvived his long bus ride during tour as well as the occasional nap taken on the bus. He said he had a great time but was sure glad to come home to his bed.

He made sure that all the girls on his bus got a hug goodbye when they got home, what a sweet guy!












Christopher survived the week at soccer camp and loved every minute of it. We went up there and saw him play some soccer games and he looked at us like "why are you here?" But being the parents we didn't care.








This is a picture of Chris with the mens head soccer coach Chris Watkins at the indoor practice facility. The indoor field has about 3-4 inches of rubber like stuff under the fake grass, it was really cool to walk on.

5K and Soccer Camp

Christopher ran the Springville 5k on sat. June 7 and came across the finish line with his cousin Dexter and Aunt Tina all with in seconds of each other. It was raining the whole time they were running. They all came in around 20 min.
He made it.

Well 2 days later he was off to BYU soccer camp for 4 days of intense soccer training. 8, yes 8 hours a day of playing soccer. Todd took him to get checked in and said after he was through the check in line, he seemed very overwhelmed with the whole thing.

His roommate hadn't checked in at the time he went to his room so he got first dibs on beds and he chose the one by the window.

Utah Valley Childrens Choir Tour

Well, Geoffrey has left to go on tour with the choir for the next 7 days. They left yesterday morning at 5:30am, when he left here it was raining. I talked to him breifly this afternoon while they were on the bus headed for AZ. he said the weather in CO. when they left was snowy. He sounded tired but was having a good time so far and the host family that he stayed with were super nice he said. I'm glad he has this opportunity to go sing and share the gospel through song with people in other states. He is on a mini mission. We love him and are very proud of him!
