THE NEW PHISTER FAMILY RECORD

Well it's official... Kurt holds the Phister Fmaily record for the biggest deer. Which is kind of sad cause it's nothing amazing!! :) He shot it opening day just before dark. He hiked his butt off all day even after everyone else came in Kurt hiked around. He shot at one earlier (he claims) and he thought he hit it. So he tracked after it with no success. He finally made it back to camp ate lunch and was off again. We all rode up to the top of the canyon and anxiously watched Kurt, Mark, Dave, Bob and Kary hike down in opposite directions. Jamie, Steve, Mike, Danny and I watched through the binoculars from the top. At one point a little spike was headed towards Kurt. Mark and Dave told him on the walkie-talkies and Kurt looked up and there it was 25 yds away. He blinked and it was gone. From the top all we could see was Kurt running up and down the mountain. It was pretty funny! Finally we all started heading back to camp. Kurt, Mark, Dave, Kary and Bob decided to head to another area. Just as we got back to camp Kurt told Danny over the walkie-Talkie that he got one. We didn't believe him at first so we hopped back on the 4 wheeler and off we went. Maybe five minutes from where we camp if that right off the road. Kurt saw a 2 point and took it down. He shot from about 50 yds and it just kept running as if he didn't hit it. All mark could think is "How did you miss that shot!!" Just then it started crashing into some trees. So they followed a large blood trail and found it. Thank goodness he had all four guys to help explain how to gut it!! Yea!! Kurt's first deer!! He is so excited!! They are coming home tomorrow... Let's see if anyone can beat it... Good Job Kurt!!

The Annual Snake River Run

Again I am a bit behind on updating my blog, but better late then never... Right? So I wanna say the 4th annual Snake River run, but this has been going on long before my time. For me this is the 4th year in a row I have gone. It has become one of my favorite things ever. I absolutely love it!! I look forward to it all year gone. Usually we go in June and it seems like it's the start of summer. This year we didn't make it until the beginning of August which was great cause it was Hot and the water was still great. We started the year out with the new raft, "The Blue Dart" Big Kahuna was a really good sized hole and Lunch counter was a bit washed out but always a good time. We put the bright pink and green bailing buckets to good use water fighting. What a great family tradition. We are so lucky to have such a fun family to laugh and play with. We run the River twice a day once in the morning and again after lunch. The first run was a blast everything went great. The second run not so much. We had a full boat. Kip, Lara, Easton, and Russ in front. Mark at the oars with Kurt, Donna, and myself in the back. Bad idea... So we had a great time up until Big Kahuna. We hit the first hole and the swoosh. Before I even knew what hit us I was upside down flipped around and missing one shoe. I pop up and the boat in upside down!! Scared me like you wouldn't believe. Kips screaming, he lost a shoe too and was more upset about the shoe then the water pouring down on him. To my surprise I look over and Donna had grabbed my shoe, YES!! Kurt, Easton, Kip, and Lara made it to one of the other rafts. So Donna and I got the wrath of the river getting smashed on some rocks Donna had some nice battle wounds. As we catch our breath. We look up and here comes the next round of rapids. Although there were lots of people crazily jumping in to float down I was terrified to not be in the boat. Thankfully Mark and Russ helped me calm down a bit. After it was all said and done. I may have over reacted a bit. It wasn't so bad. Needless to say that was my last trip down the river this year. I'll be back and ready next year. The rest of the trip was a blast filled with dirty kids, games, horseshoes and camp fire. Sat night Payton, Annie, Easton, Kurt and I drove into Jackson Hole. We bought the pictures of the raft flipping and walked around town. We all went to Ripley's Believe it or not and believe it or not we all ate BUGS to get a $1.00 off. It was lots of fun. We saw some interesting stuff. Yet again another fun year at the river. I already can't wait for next year. If I fall in I think I will do a better job at not freaking out :) (Thanks Mark and Russ)

Day at The Lake

On a nice sunny day what better to do then head to the lake. Ok so it's only Utah Lake (gross) but still so much fun. We went out for the day with our best pals Steven and Jamie. We always have so much fun with them. We all took a turn on the tube and Steve, Jamie and Kurt took turns wake boarding. Sadly for me boating season has come to a quick end... Lucky for Steve Jamie and Kurt it's now Sand Dunes weather and they are already planning a fall full of weekend trips. Wahoo :) I like going, just not as much as those three.

Happy 24th of July...

Ok so I am a little behind. Ok a lot. I hate saying that I have been busy cause everyone get's busy I just forget and we don't have Internet at our house so I try to make it to my moms, but I get here and still never blog. So here I am maybe I can stay caught up... So this year on the 24th of July I had to work!!! First time ever and Kurt had it off in case you don't know Kurt NEVER has holidays off. We both started new jobs a while back and as luck would have it I worked and he stayed home... LUCKY! So after I got off work we went over to Joey's for a BBQ. It was so much fun. I swear this has been the summer of horseshoes. Everywhere we go we pull out the shoes. After many wins, defeats and HOURS later we can finally eat!! It was a ton of fun to hang out with all our friends and play with fireworks. Hopefully next year i get it off...

Shailynn's 24th Birthday at Yuba!!

We got together for Shailynn's birthday down at Yuba and Convientently the Phister's were also at Yuba for the day on Saturday. We go down there late and got everything ready.

Settng up tents is always a good time. We bought a 5th wheel last year and yet never seem to use it :) After we got settled we went to over to the North Beach to hang out with the family.

Steven came down with them and so did Dave & Ashley. I am so glad Ashley comes around so I can take cute pictures of Rhyen She is so dang cute and one of the only little girls around. Don't get me wrong the boys are great, but she's cute and covered in pink so it's a nice change.

We wern't there long when the guys started up the shoes.

A few of us went out on the boat I got to see Kayden water ski which was awesome. I can't even get my butt up on the skis.

Shorty after out of no where came the storm. It was no typical Yuba afternoon wind storm, it was insane! As we watched from the water tubes, boogy boards and shades, went flying. Then came the waves. It was so funny the kids were all freaking out. What a fun day!! So we ran to the beach to chase everyones stuff down while the sand slammed into our skin (ouch!!) I just had to laugh. Just then Kurt gets a call from Brandon back at our camp... TENT DOWN!! He was trying to hold 3 tent from blowing away. So went back and everything was a mess. Our tent was completly flat and the top was torn a bit. Again I just had to laugh. Good thing it was a cheap tent... wait maybe that's why it didn't hold up to the weather :) So we spent most the night in the girls tent playing cards. We stayed up late and played by the fire. Pretty much the wind blew and blew all night long. Sunday morning we get up ready to go out on the boat they took it over to put it in and WHAT the boat won't start!! So we cleaned up camp and spent the day on the north beach listening to music and playing in the water. After all the trouble and bad weather... It was such a fun weekend. I just don't think being at a lake, middle of summer how can it not be a blast!!

Rewind...

Kurt and I got married on May 12th, 2007 in Hawaii. We got married right on the beach with all our family and friends there to witness. It was the most amazing thing in my life. Not only was it so fun and beautiful, but I got to marry Kurty!! Everyone says the first year is the hardest but we have had the best first year EVER!!

We have had so much fun being married and playing. It's been so great!! For our one year anniversary we enjoyed our one year old top layer of wedding cake and surprisingly it was pretty delicious. We stayed in our newly purchased time share in St. George and one night in Vegas it was so much fun!! I am hoping for maybe Mexico next year :) But I'll have to wait and see.
