Good Times at the Cabin


This weekend we invited the Andreasen's as well as the Petty's to come and enjoy Papa Lifferth's cabin. We got there on Friday night, struck up the fire, & sipped some hot chocolate. We spent the evening laughing and telling scary stories, we made sure to keep all the blinds open to enhance the effect as the moon shown thru the trees of the Uinta's. During one particular story Indy Jumped up and put his front paws on the window leaving us all screaming.

When we woke up the next morning we had the traditional cabin breakfast consisting of, 'hot cakes', bacon and eggs! Then we went on a little hike to the zip line. Everyone except indy had a good time riding across the ravine on the rusted pulley. Mitch insists on thinking Indy is human and needs to try everything we do. Needless to say once he started down the line, he jumped out of Mitch's arms. Dogs just aren't meant to do everything.

When we got back to the cabin Mitch pulled out some guns to have a target shooting contest. Julie surprised us all by outmarking us all. When we pulled out the big gun (7mm) all the girls insisted on spectating while the boys proved their "Manliness!" We set up 3 full Lemonade cans so we could see the anticipated explosion as our men shot them down. After nearly being knocked off their feet by the kick of the gun, we are happy to report that our valiant men kept all of the cans safe!
After lunch we cleaned up and headed home. Thank heaven for good friends and parents who let us use their cabin!

Mitch Play Soccer????

That's right.... Mitch and I are playing on an indoor soccer team! Who say's you can't change a Man!? :) Mitch consented to playing on an indoor league after some convincing. I told him it would improve our relationship, increase the laughter, help us stay in shape. After all, eternal marriages are often based off healthy competition right?! After some discussion he gave in and agreed. Then he said, "I guess i'm going to need some 'shin protectors' ". eh Mitch..... They're called Shin Guards! We are still working on the lingo, but it should be fun!

The Amazing Race

On Saturday we held the first Lifferth-Dorius-Alderman 400m Steeplechase race, and what a success! With hundreds of spectators out to the event, the true competitive spirit was in the air! From basketball shorts to speedo's the competition was thick. Because of my camera's lack of focus here is the rundown when you are watching the movie: Dad is the one in red shorts who starts running before the gun goes off. Mitch, Spencer, and Mitch's brother Matt are leading on the back stretch. Spencer is the one with a blue Speedo over his white spandex, Tyler has on the tube socks who holds strong to the end, and Robb has on the head band and takes a dip in the steeple pit. Carlie is the one who yells "Robb! Don't come in last!" I think Grandma will be the first to say that "we are all winners !" -Click on the UTube Link to see the race.
