Snowy Boulder Mountain

The Ellett family reunion time has always been around the hunting season. We have gone every year since we have been married. The animal hunted might change, the set time in october might change, the mountain even might change, but there will always be Elletts gathering on the mountain during hunting season. This year Dusty and Cari and Tryston, us, Doug's parents, Jr. and Lorri and girls, Uncle Warrens whole family, Jerry and Tom and his family and friends were able to be there. It snowed on us and made it very wet. muddddy, and cold. Lots of elk up on this mountain but no visible spike in all the elk seen and heard. Doug was in heaven, he loves that mountain. Probably spent every year of his life hunting up there round about. I got a lot of scape booking done. We enjoyed going for a ride so we could listen to general conference both days. Doug spent great one on one time with his dad. Hopefully next year, more can gather and enjoy family-go for us, we surely will be thinking about you.

Fabulous Fun - Hunting in Idaho

Doug and all the boys got back saturday night from their week long archery hunting trip. They had so much fun. It was a great adventure. Called in lots of elk, chased by a moose, heard a bear, rain, snow, sunshine and froze in the tree stands fished in the creek by the trailer and Doug caught 5 fish. Brandon made a spear and tried for dinner the old fashioned way until Doug told him he had a couple fishing poles. Doug "says" he missed a huge elk, 6X6. Nobody got anything, but great memories and antisipation for next year. We are all happy they made it back safe and sound. It snowed on them from Idaho Falls to Nephi on the way home. I think it is the girls turn for a week long adventure. Maybe the girls willl have to come out to New York and go touring with us.

For Sale - Home away from Home

We are selling our trailer cause we can't take it with us on our mission and no where to store it. It has two slide outs, couch, table area and bedroom area. That makes it really roomy inside.
There is a 5000 watt Honda generator with the rack on the back of the trailer, inside is a remote start button. I love this feature! The outside is fiberglass and has a outside shower and can pump water into the unit from an outside source.

The kitchen area is huge, lots of storage and counter space. Full size frig/freezer, microwave, the table and couch make into sleeping areas. The bedroom has a double mirror closet door, outside entrance, drawers under the closet and on the wall where the door is at along with counter space and over head cupboards and tv nook. The bathroom is a pass thru from the living area.
The TV/DVD player comes with the deal, more storage above the couch and table as well. The recliner comes with the deal too.

We love our trailer, but we can't take it with us on our mission, and have no where to store it, so we are selling it. If you know of any one who might be interested tell them about it. It would be perfect for snow birds wanting a place down here for the winter.

It is a 2006 Starwood, 32 feet long, has a big shower in the bathroom and a closet with washer/dryer hook ups. There is a 6 tier stainless steel shelve unit there now. This trailer has tons of storage and is very spacious.

"Dress up" and playing "Bows and arrows"

Boy time!
Hunting continues as all the boys but Kevin are off on their way to Idaho bow hunting Elk. This will be the first time all the boys are together for the Idaho hunt. They do have their tags! They are like little kids at christmas. Dressing up, all decked out in their camo, got their toys and bikes to go play with other boys up in the woods. Hope you all have a extra-fun awesome time together. Hope Clint can come play with them. Lead them to the big "one".

BABY TIME
Kevin is staying behind to welcome his new little girl to the world. He is still hopeful a boy will pop out and surprise everyone. Brandee finally has her date set for the 27th of September. She is ready, ready, ready. Of course she is still walking with me and actually ran up the stairs at the stadium today. You go girl

'Elan Cover Girl??????

We are now in a different "Season" of our life, all that we know is changing, thank Heaven for the blessed gift of memories, may we have the courage and desire to go forward and make new lasting memories.
This little blurb was inside the magazine telling about this new Season of change in our life.

I can't believe that I am posting this blog, but then again, when does one get asked to be on the cover of a magazine? Maybe once in a life time. What an honor to be asked to represent women in general. It was actually pretty fun at the photo shoot. The pictures were taken at Green Gate Village, the same place Brandon and Malea had their family wedding pictures taken. The Founder and Editor in chief of the Magazine, Darcy, lives just around the corner from me and is in my ward. She is a go getter and an amazing lady. This magazine is her newest project and I really enjoy it. It targets women over 40 and of course I am in that catagory, as it is my birthday today and I am really close to 1/2 century old. It has been fun having people recognize me and saying they saw me on the magazine. The crazy thing is that I hadn't even seen the magazine until I went to Mary's Vale the last couple of days. Katie had it sitting on the coffee table at the B&B. She gave me a copy. Cari sent me an email that was on the 'Elan website, and that was the first time I had seen the picture. I was pretty happy with it. Doug says he likes it and that means a lot.
