What the Greens did all summer:

Going on trips: We went to Romania as you saw by all the photos and also went to London England, the other trips we've made has included camping with Brett Thomas:

where we climbed through Mammoth Caves and also Phil and Brett played a round of golf.

We hope that these are not the last of our adventures for the summer but will update you on any further trips.

Gardening: go to Kaylee's gardening blog to see what she's been growing at: kayleesgreengarden.blogspot.com 

Summer School: Kaylee took a couple of summer classes since she had to take May-mester Block passed that with flying colors, and took Senior Portfolio from Jeff Hanson and has this AWESOME web-page because of it check it out for yourself: www.kayleegreen.com  She also took a Personal Finance class for knowledge sakes and learned quite a bit.

Teaching swimming lessons: Kaylee just finished up her last session of group lessons and is very grateful. This last group was fun but was taking it out of her! She got a few scratches from kids who were scared and it even broke the skin on one of the scratches! She now will finish up the year with some private lessons and water aerobics, she may continue if she has people interested during school year.

Working: Phil has been working hard to keep his store up and running even through the hard economic times and has done pretty good. His co-workers didn't like him when he was gone for 2 weeks but luckily forgave him shortly after returning.

Attending family events: We also attended the annual Green Cabin 4th of July trip right after returning from our long trip. Then shortly after that we went to Clara's Birthday party 

and also hosted Phil's parents Homecoming Party. After that we made a couple trips up North to my family events such as a Tippets get-together and Parsons get-together. We also got to light some pretty cool, not so legal fireworks that dad had, along with a family bike ride finding GEO-cashes together. That was fun! (wish I'd taken my camera!)

Attending the Temple: We went to the temple in London but didn't get to do a session so it was nice to go to Ogden with Shantae and Jason Etherington when we were up for the 24th of July weekend. We had an awesome time and I love going to the temple and feeling of the spirit. It was so strong this time and I know that there is not any other faith I could believe in except the LDS church. Phil and I hope to attend the temple more often now that we have been reminded of how awesome the temple is and hope to try Initiatories or Sealing for a change.

GEO-Cashing: We had planned on going Geo-cashing in Romania but we were too busy and had forgot our geo-coin to leave it Romania to see if it would come back to us so we still have yet to activate it but we wanna see if it can make it to Romania and back! Also this is our nightly ritual if we have nothing better to do, ride our bikes around cedar city to try and find Geo-cashes. We love it! One time we even took Lara, she wasn't too big of a fan but here are some photos of our cashes with her:

We made Phil go into Cole Creek because we told him that was where the cash was ha ha ha he is so gullible! Then we hid from him because he was being a punk, it was pretty fun! :) 

We'll let you know of any other news and hope you had as great of a summer as we did!

Our New Hobby:

GEOCASHING!!! :)

For Phil's Birthday I had help from others and bought him a hand held Garmin GPS! Ever since our new hobby has been finding geocashes around the Cedar City area. We have discovered some pretty cool places, my favorite was back in May; we found a cool man made tunnel with GEO cash that you sign at the end. Around there there is also a cool little cabin thing that we saw. Here are some of the photos from our geo-cash adventures :) (most of these photos were from May and June)

These photos were from the first time we went with our new found friends, Sami and Brant Palmer! Val was still living with us then, we had lots of fun!

The next set are from when we went up to the cabin, we took a bunch of kids (nieces and nephews) with us and Jacee my cousin came too! :) it was fun!

Easter Break and self ban

Why hello fellow bloggers I'm here to give a brief report on our Easter break festivies! Phil, Valerian and I all went to the Green Cabin near Panguitch Lake! It was a lot of fun! All of the Green's were there even if it wasn't for a really long time, minus Garth and Wendy of course (they will be home in July of this year). It was so great to hang out with all of my nieces, nephews, bro in laws, and sister in laws. Family is the best! On Friday we made a trip to Brian Head and went everyone was skiing except me, I borrowed my sister's board and snowboarded instead. Phil ended up teaching Casen, Jeff's son how to ski and had a great time doing that. He is going to make such a great Dad someday, watching him and Casen learn was so much fun for me! I ended up budding up with Allison, Lori's daughter and had lots of fun with her. We took the longer bunny hill, Navahoe and she took me a way where we went under a bridge, it was way fun! She had been on Navahoe many more times than me, even though she is only 11 years old! Fun stuff.

On Saturday we watched/listened to conference and also sent all the "dad's" out sledding with the little ones. It was fun playing Easter bunny while the kids were occupied and after that I enjoyed watching Phil play with his nieces and nephews. He again made me decide he will be a great dad someday, even if he sometimes blended in more with the kids rather than the adults!

Sunday was the day of cleaning and watching conference, it was so busy I am afraid I didn't really listen to much of conference but do remember hearing the Mtab sing "I know that my Redeemer Lives" it is my favorite song from the hymn book! It made me feel good and made me realize I may be lacking in showing that I know He lives. I plan to work on this from here on out which brings me to my next part of this entry.

"There is no STRENGTH without a STRUGGLE"

I have had an extremely hard time with my classes this semester and have finally decided to cut some things that I enjoy doing so I can stay focused, meaning I will not be writing any more updates until the last week in May. So if I do not respond to comments or to your personal blogs it is because I need to focus and get back on track! I will be graduating April 30th and May 1st if any of you are in Cedar please stop by and come support me! To get more information on when and where call or text me. Until the last week in May!
