Fishing in Paragoona

So Ghavan and I aren't really into fishing. We don't mind going... so we were the photographers and had a great visit while the other three were out catching.... well nothing!

There's my sweetie!


Here's Ky! He loves fishing and is becoming very good. He learned to fly fish this year and bought his own pole. He has spent many hours this summer down at the river by our home.

See what fishing with your crazy family can do!!!
I love you kiddos!!!

Indian Artifacts

This was another place in Southern Utah. I can't remember what it is called.We drove forever...... to get there. The kids and I joked with Eric the whole time telling him that he had no idea where we were going. All of the sudden, in the middle of nowhere, we were there. We actually got the timer on our camera working - so we are all in together for the picture.
Ghavan decided to be adventurious! He hiked up a hill and turned for a picture!
I am always a little leary of hiking into an area where small critters or slimy things could be.

Zion National Park

Part of Eric's Training in Cedar City was to drive to St. George and visit a business there. We drove down with him, dropped him off and did some fun shopping. It was HOT there! On the way back we visited Kolob Canyons. It was beautiful!!! There are so many different things to enjoy in Utah. What a great place to live.
Eric and the kids. We bought that hat in St. George (Chloee's) so she could match her dad!!
Me and the kids. Aren't they cute?????

Cedar City, Utah

Eric had a training for work in Cedar City. We were able to tag along with him for a little family vacation. We left on a Sunday (right after church) and came home the following Saturday. It was so much fun. Eric was in conferences every day, but we were together in the evenings. The kids and I just hung out at the pool during the day and enjoyed the sun. The first of the week was really hot!! It definitely cooled off toward the end of the week and felt like Cache Valley! Chloee learned to swim pretty good during that week. There weren't very many people at the hotel we stayed in, so we got the pool to ourselves several times! Heavenly! The smell of Chlorine is so fresh and crisp. I got quite a red glow on my skin the first morning we were there! It was GREAT!!!

We swam several times a day. The kids couldn't wait for Eric to get back to the hotel so they could swim with him. Chloee loved showing her daddy all her new tricks..... over and over and over. The boys couldn't wait for Eric to Dunk Them. Sounds kindof strange... but they love it!!


I took a picture of myself for history's sake! I was there, I was just behind the camera most of the time!!!

Summer 2010

- Summer 2010 -

Schiess Family

BEAR LAKE
May 2010
The kids were so excited to go swimming - however -
it was FREEZING and RAINING! We still gave it a shot and they had a GREAT time. Tori & Jer amd their kids stayed the weekend with us and Mel & Kenny brought Taya for the day on Sunday. It was so much fun!! We Love Our Family!!!

Chloee wanted a blow up floaty toy - She is enjoying it so much!!!

We had no idea Ghavan would love it so much too!! HAHA - he is so hilarious. His zest for life is amazing. He makes me laugh (even when I shouldn't)

These two were sitting in the hot tub getting warm (Imagine That) It really was cold so they were enjoying the hot steam! I wonder what they are talking about???

Because it was so cold, we decided to try and warm up by eating Ice Cream (?!*) There wasn't much else to do, so Eric bought a punch pass and we ate ice cream the whole weekend.

Detmer was eating his ice cream pretty fast, when all of the sudden..... he grabbed his head and said ouch! He really got a brain freeze - I thought that wasn't real, but how does a two year old fake that???

Halle and Chloee enjoying Ice Cream (with their jackets on). They love each other! With both of them having two brothers, it is good they have each other!

Eric and Ky went fishing!!! What a team!

My Crazy kids just had to see if the lake was warm! Yea Right! We go almost every Memorial Day weekend and it is always FREEZING! I think I have a picture of each of them doing this, for every year we have been. Aren't they great!
