Browne Lake!!

2009-07-22T11:18:00.000-07:00

Its always a good time when all the family gets together. This year for the BIG camping trip we went to Browne Lake in the high Unitas. By the time we finally got there and everything set up it was just about time for dinner. The first and only wildlife that we seen was a small bull moose on Thursday night. Its really hard to see him because he was across the lake.

The Fish were jumping like crazy the whole weekend but they didn't like anything that we had to feed them.

Friday everyone just wanted to fish, so marshael and i decided to take that dogs out and run them with the four wheeler. We found this ATV trail that runs along the river. It was an old military wagon trail. We only went three miles but holy cow i don't know what they were thinking back in those day. Maggie would lay down in the river when we would have to cross it, I guess she was hot.

Saturday was quit the experience. We floated the green river just outside of flaming gorge. It is just a self guide. We were having a great time, we came upon the biggest rapid on the green river called the mother-in-law. The water run right a long a rock wall so we opted to stay more towards the middle what we didn't see was this rock until we hit it. We hit it side ways and sunked the boat half way under and threw everyone out but me because my foot got stuck in the boat. when i finally got my foot out i crawled up on the rock just when i did i heard marsh yelling for me. Ill admit it, i was scared, we all had life jackets on but i didn't dare jump because of the under tows and all the rocks that were around. Finally after about 15 minutes of boats just going passed, we were blessed that one finally stoped to help. We tried to get the raft but it would move, so i just used that rope and jumped and they pulled me to safety. I am truly grateful for Scott and Keith for stopping and helping. I have a bunch of bruises and a sprained ankle but ill take it just to be OK. They say its happens alot on this rock.

My little family that i am grateful for. I love you so much Marsh

Just the girls. Katie, Mom, Cari, I and can't forget Maggie

Everyone that came minus my uncle Joel he was setting up the camera and my mom was taking pictures.

All Because two people fell in love!Grandma and Grandpa Ramsdell, we are so grateful that they were able to come up.

The Newest Addition!!

2009-07-13T14:54:00.001-07:00

The newest addition to the tripp clan is finally here. Baby McCrae Deloy Kinsman came saturday. He is the biggest baby so far at 7lbs 2oz and 20.5inches long. Congrats to his Partents Rob and Stacy. We are so Happy that he is here.

BIRDS!!

2009-07-09T14:47:00.000-07:00

Last night as we were getting ready for bed and i opened the back door to see if the garage doors were shut.One of the doors has to be Manually close and as i got closer there were about four barn swallows that were sleeping on the door and they freaked out and started flying all over. It probably took marsh and I about 45 minutes to get them out.

Pony Express

2009-06-16T10:12:00.000-07:00

Its that time again, time for the pony express. Every year there is a reenactment of the pony express that back in the 1860's to carry mail from St.Joseph, MO to Sacramento, CA on horse back. The Tripp's have been doing this for generations now.Marshael just received his 15 years patch.Something that he wants to carry on with our kids. This year we took the mail from Murray park in down town salt lake to Simpson springs out on the west desert. We were very lucky that the weather was good for us since everyone else had to deal with the rain and mud. Normally by the time the day is over they run a total of 4 miles, but this year marsh ran 12 miles total( due to lack of riders and a pregnant sister). You can read more about it at xphomestation.com
This is Marsh swearing in.

Waiting for the mail at Murray Park running about 5 hours behind due to weather.

Finally the mochila is to Simpson Springs( A job well done)

On the way home coming a crossed the west desert there was a herd of horses(about 125 horse)were on their way to get water when they split our truck. I wish i knew how to upload from my video camera so everyone could see it because it was the neatest thing i have seen. Here a couple of pictures that we took.

Memorial Weekend

2009-05-26T13:26:00.000-07:00

For memorial weekend we went to our cabin in Kamas, UT. Its all was a great time when we go up there. It rain most the weekend so we were limited to what we could do. I wanted to go up the ponderosa pines where Marsh proposed to me but they had it close. We did a lot of riding around but finally on Monday the weather was just good enough that we thought we would try and go fishing up to Alexander Lake. There was still a lot of snow on the road so we drove as far as we could then had to hike an hour and a half in.It was so beautiful. I caught the first fish and my limit and i had to show the guys how to do it.LOL j/k I think i just had the honey hole. It was a great time.

Alexander Lake

Marsh trying to dry out his feet.( The hike in there was through a lot of snow and streams of run off so by the time we got up there our feet were soaked)

Mike and the one fish he caught

Bob with the bigger one of the two fish he caught

And YES marshael might have only caught one fish but it was the biggest

This is all the fish we took home not all that we caught

On the way in we had to drive over some snow, but when we cam out it had warmed up enough that it had softened it that we couldnt get over needless to say we got stuck.

Picnic at the Park

2009-05-22T11:11:00.000-07:00

Yesterday my mom came down to salt lake because Johnnie had a doctors appointment and she had Gracey and Brooklyn and so i got to spend some time with them. It was for only a short time but we made the best of it. We went to the park and had a picnic and the girls play. It was so much fun.

Fourwheeling

2009-05-10T13:17:00.000-07:00

Yeasterday we went fourwheeling behind mikes house looking for sheds( from the elk that winter up there) it was just the two of us. We took the dog with to run them. But most of all I love being able to spend the time with Marshael.Now that the wheather is getting warmer it seem to be few and far between so i am trying to get in as much as i can.

Happy Mothers Day

2009-05-10T08:35:00.000-07:00

I just wanted to wish my mom a happy mothers day and to let her know how much i love her and that she is the greatest. For mothers day we went to my grandmas in Bear River City. It was fun we got to see family that we haven't seen for a while and just bum around. Happy Mothers day to all you mothers.

Lipizzaner Stallions

2009-05-09T09:08:00.000-07:00

Last night Marshael and I and his sister Stacy and her husband Bob went to the Lipizzaner Stallions at the E center. There were parts of it that were cool but other than that it was just glorified lead changes and drills. We had awesome tickets though they were second row from the floor, dead center.I do have to give them credit because it was there third show for the week and still had more to do, they were some fit and toned horse(i wish ours were like that:)Thanks to Grandma Canham for the night out.

MAGGIE MAGGIE MAGGIE!

2009-05-06T15:10:00.000-07:00

So the other morning i was awakin but hte fact that i was about to fall out of bed and this is what else i found. Marshael and maggie being bed hogs. It happens alot and marshael just laughs at me and no matter how hard i try to make her sleep on the floor it doesn't work so i took this picture to prove to him that i wasn't kidding.I think that maggie is just alittle jeleous of the fact that she is not the only girl in his life anymore. I never really understood that dogs(or any animal in that matter) really are one of family. She is our child thats for sure.

Bring on The Sun!!!!

2009-04-22T13:33:00.000-07:00

Bring on the sun!!!! Marsh and i are so ready for the warm weather and sunshine. We so enjoyed the weekend together. Marsh didnt work this passed weekend because we had the horse shoer coming out. We had five horses to do and after it taking four guys and a twicht for one mare the shoer was done after three on saturday. It was such a beautiful day that we decided to take the harley out for a ride. We went from South Rim to Salt Lake and from Salt Lake around through Lehi and then back home. I'll admite that there was some cold spots and of course the wind only blow through stockton and tooele but other than that we had a blast. On sunday the shoer had to come back and finish the last two so we got a very early start.After the shoer was done we summerised all snowmobiles, worked horses, enjoyed marsh's family company and soaked in the 75 degree weather. First sun of the season you allway forget the sunblock so needless to say we got FRIED!!!(next time i will for sure remember it)

Leaving for the harley ride!

What a Brat!!

EASTER!!!

2009-04-12T11:12:00.000-07:00

We had a great easter. This morning we got up and the easter bunny had came(of course it was me so i made Marsh find it). It was just a basket for our little family but it was fun to see marshael look for it. We got a campchief case for the campchief my mom gave us for christmas and there were just a bunch of little thing for both of us. Then we went to marshaels dads for an easter egg hunt and dinner. They did an easter egg hunt for olivia and then they did one for the adults. I was so much fun they filled the eggs with money. There was only one knock out and that was Marshael and Bob of course but Thanks to Mike and Vickie for everything.

2009-04-06T09:16:00.000-07:00

Yesterday was marshael birthday and he didnt want to really do anything it didnt help that he had things to do that morning, but by noon he was ready to get out of dodge. Marshael and i and mike and vickie all went to this place called death canyon in the desert that was an old minning town(thats another one of our pass times)i was a little bit disappointed because there really isn't much left because there is alot of people that still minning or looking for gold or copper out there. but we still had fun on are we home marsh decided to go over eircsom pass and it was a muddy mess and a GREAT adventure. we had to stop at the FAMOUS stockton cafe for birthday dinner. then on sunday all of his family came over for a bbq and cake. Even though he just got a sled and thats all that he wanted he still was spoiled. Happy Brithday Babe!! I love you and thanks to all of his family for comming.

Our truck after it went in the rut.

Happy Birthday Babe(yes i put all 29 candels on the cake)

Olivia had to help uncle marshael blowout the candels.

SLEDDING!!!

2009-03-31T08:17:00.000-07:00

Marshael got a new sled last Sunday and it finally snow enough this last weekend for him to ride it so we went to the cabin in kamas for the weekend. I am so disappointed because i forgot my camera in the truck on Saturday and that was the best day. It was sunny and clear with a lot of powder and not very many people had been out yet. we all even got alittle bit sunburned(i never remember sunscreen in the winter). But marshael and his dad went out on Sunday and got stuck in a white out so these are the pictures that they came back with.

Oh Turtlebird

2009-03-20T08:35:00.000-07:00

We took Maggie(our yellow lab)to the hunting expo for the splash dog competition. Marshael has wanted to take her for the last couple years because you cant keep her out of the water. If you don't think that there is water around I'm telling you that she will find it. but the little turd wouldn't get in. what the do is they have a dock that is about 6feet off the ground that goes in to a big swimming pool. you throw a toy off the dock and see how far the dogs jump. It is really fun to watch and Maggie would have anything to do with it. I did get a couple of picture with marshael coaching her in but the minute that he would let go out she came. The funniest part is the next Wednesday we took the dogs out to Grantsville reservoir and we couldn't get her out she just took off out strolling in the water. Marshael was so mad but maybe we will try again next year.

Wild Horses

2009-02-23T12:41:00.000-08:00

Living in Tooele we are not far from the west desert, So when marshael has a weekend off we like to go out there and see all the wild bands of horses. yes of course we do have our favorites but right now is the best time to go to see the babys. I always want to take them home and of course marshael tells me no. I would love to put a house out the that way i can take care of them. we also like to go with friends on the fourwhellers and spend the day.
