What is camping without playing a few games? Here is Kyle and me playing Yahtzee.<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CDvih3v5mZ8/UhpPA7cnu6I/AAAAAAAAC1Q/VtiekfEk5fo/s1600/2013+Mortensen+Campout+(83).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" qsa="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CDvih3v5mZ8/UhpPA7cnu6I/AAAAAAAAC1Q/VtiekfEk5fo/s320/2013+Mortensen+Campout+(83).JPG" width="320" /></a>There was 35 of us from the Mortensen family that went camping up to Bonniville Hot Springs campground, about 2 hours out of Boise.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Carl, Dave, Kent and others went to get firewood. Then once they got back to camp Carl split it all by himself - it was probably a cord of wood.</div>

The mornings were very chilly - we were like 40 miles from Stanley, which is the coldest spot in the state. So we hiked down 15 minutes to the hot springs. Then played in the river during the day.<br />

Yeah Kara - we couldn't be happier for you! It took 2 extra years, but yes, now you can say that you got your HS diploma. Good for you! We love you!Kent and Wendyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03416716397047145722noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8139289335957208015.post-18830484222348204612013-02-02T07:34:00.000-08:002013-02-02T07:34:34.417-08:00100th BirthdayIf Dad were still alive, he would turn 100 years old today. Happy Birthday Pops! (Sorry for no pics - our scanner is missing a neccessary cord.)<br />
What are some of your memories of him?<br />
I remember the big garden that we would always have in Moab. He would let us help him plant the corn. Then we were always responsible for weeding a few rows. And we had to have the chores all done before we could go swimming.<br />
He would let the grass grow a little extra long and then mow trails in it for us to play Fox and Geese. (You couldn't get away with that anymore with CC&R's.)<br />
I also remember him walking to the bank in Moab and coming home for lunch most days.<br />
I remember the trips we would take as a family - to the New York World's Fair, to the Seattle World's Fair, to Yellowstone and all of our Easter trips. We would go to Manti and roll eggs down the temple hill, or we would go to a sandbar on the Colorarado river, or up to some red hills.<br />
He was always busy, but took time for family fun times too. It seemed like he was always the one in charge of the extended Carlson reunions.<br />
I remember him coming into Debbie and my room in the mornings to wake us for scripture study. "Wake up sleeping beauties", he would say.<br />
He was faithful in having us hold FHE too.<br />
I can remember one time when I was very young, that I went in the bathroom when he was shaving and I told him a secret. I must have been mad at mom for something, because I told him that I liked him better than mom, but PLEASE don't tell her.<br />
But I guess the one thing that I really remember was that his birthday was always on Ground Hog's Day.<br />
Happy 100th Birthday - I love you!<br />

Robert & I each caught two native fish each (which you have to throw back) and two fishery steelhead each which we were able to keep. Also did some pheasant hunting on the trip.</div>

We went on up to Seaside and ate lunch and got hats and taffy. Sorry - no pics from that. But then some of us headed up to Astoria. Our boys had to see the house from the Goonies. So there it is. We were disappointed they didn't have tours and that it had changed so much. But on our way back we stopped and saw over 50 sealions. They were barking so loud! Beccalin lost one of her flipflops in the water.</div>

All 22 of us hiked up to the Point. It was over 2 miles each way. It was a little muddy and we were tired, but we saw lots of birds and we saw 2 whales out in the ocean. This was one of the views looking down on a beach that didn't get many people on it. </div>

Uchtdorf's talk to the sisters last fall? This is our theme for our Stake RS conference. And those forget-me-not balls above are going to be part of the table decor. (they will actually be tall topiary's for the center pieces.) I get to help make about 30 more of them. I will try to remember to take pics of our tables the night of our conference so you can see the final presentation.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Note: the creative other counselor, got injured by a car while out walking, so she is totally out of commission.

I left 45 mins. early because of the snowy roads. I just barely made it out of our subdivision and I slid into an 8 foot deep ditch and the car landed on the drivers side. Luckily I was not hurt. The back window had broke out, so I climbed out the back and had some help from strangers to get out of the ditch. Man - makes me wonder if I was meant to go job hunting!Kent and Wendyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03416716397047145722noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8139289335957208015.post-61340200274560343002011-11-06T18:35:00.000-08:002011-11-06T18:35:43.047-08:00Pumpkin Party<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ME-VFKzkglM/Trc-rfAIhFI/AAAAAAAABIw/DA_6KKw2G3c/s1600/2011+Holloween+Fam+Prty+%25281%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" ida="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ME-VFKzkglM/Trc-rfAIhFI/AAAAAAAABIw/DA_6KKw2G3c/s320/2011+Holloween+Fam+Prty+%25281%2529.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This was our 3rd annual family Pumpkin Party.

We didn't have the $$$ to fly off to some fun city like Seattle, Portland or San Diego, like we have done in the past. We went camping instead. We found a private camp spot 4 miles out of Garden Valley, on the road up to Placerville. We did alot of 4-wheeling. <br />
<br />
The first evening there we rode the 4-wheeler into the tiny town of Placerville (not even 100 people). The only people we saw were a few couples in the historic cemetary. It is a very quiet little place.<br />
<br />
The next morning we wanted to be adventurous and right across from our camp was a trail to explore. We had only gone a little ways when the trail was covered with branches and logs. We turned back and went further down the dusty road. Headed up another trail -same thing - lots of timber on the trail. So we went down by some construction work, looked like they were enlarging a bridge. Headed up that trail and this time we kept on going. We climbed the mountain and got up on a high ridge. It was very steep and lots of big gulleys that the 4-wheeler hugged the side of the mountain. I was anxious to get down. We finally started to go down the mountain. Before long, we came to some timber on the trail and we thought - hey, this looks familiar! We were on the very first trail that we had started on that morning - we knew it was right across from our camp, so we got off the bike and cleared the trail. It wasn't too far from camp. It ended up being a 6 mile loop. It seemed alot further.<br />
<br />
The last day we checked out Grimes Pass, another trail on the way to Placerville. It was a good road this time and pine trees everywhere - just beautiful and the kind of rides I like (not scarry). <br />
<br />
Some of the pics above are of our ride up there. The 4th one down is our view on top looking down at Garden Valley below. It was a long ways away.<br />

We packed light and didn't even get out the Camp chef for cooking. We didn't even make a campfire. No kiddos around to roast hot dogs or marshmallows. Are we getting old or what?<br />

I love you Honey - Happy Anniversary!

His younger brother, Steve, and his family were in town from Florida. It had been almost 10 years since their family had been back in Idaho. Kent's 3 sisters weren't able to attend the camping part of it, but they were altogether for a 1 day picnic at a park in Meridian. We had a crowd of about 30 people up camping. It was cold for the Floridians, but we still had a good time.<br />
<br />
Then last month the Carlson side got together in Alpine Wyoming to join forces with the Nordfelt's for a rafting reunion down the Snake. There were about 35 of us and about 45 of the Nordfelt's. See previous post for pictures. We had a great time!<br />
<br />
Then this past weekend, we had the Kent and Wendy Mortensen reunion down at Lagoon. We were all there but Randy. He had recently started a new job, so couldn't get the days off to come and play with us. Sorry i don't have pictures - we forgot the camera. Maybe one of the DIL's will post pics. Carl's family stayed with Robert's in Bountiful. Then Wayne and Sherstine camped with us at the Lagoon Campground. That in itself was an experience! It was very loud and very crowded! It was very convienent though to just walk across the parking lot to get into Lagoon. We rode rides one day and the next we got wet at Laguna Beach. The Bounce Back program made it more affordable to enjoy 2 days of playing. The little ones enjoyed the bumper cars and the older ones enjoyed Wicked and Colossus. Kent and I enjoyed the Ferris Wheel. The favorite was Rattlesnake Rapids where we all got wet - it felt great on such hot days!<br />
One thing we did miss was the gathering of all of us around a campfire just talking and telling stories of younger years, and the roasting of marshmallows.<br />
The first day some of us wore BSU shirts so we could track each other easier while in the park. It was amazing all of the Boise State fans that happened to be there. WE would pass and give them the thumbs up or a "go bronco's" shout. In our campground there was a big group of 17 tents that were BSU fans. <br />
The first day there we ran into a family from our stake and a newly called missionary from our ward. (he wasn't on his mission yet - he goes to Carl's mission - Recife Brazil.)<br />
It seems like wherever you go in this world, you run into someone you know.<br />
Little Gage, our youngest grandchild, just one years old doesn't say words yet. He just has this funny little sound he makes to let you know what he wants. It was the cutest thing to watch him go up and scare Grandpa by making a bear sound. Of course Grandpa would over react to make him laugh, and then he would do it some more. It was the funniest thing. He is Mr. Smiley.<br />
It was good for all the cousins to be together again - it's been almost 8 months since that has happened.<br />
We're already talking of plans for the reunion next summer and the summer after that.<br />

Steve's family from flordia came up and then connie came down from Wenatchee. Dave has lost about 100 pounds, so he's looking buff these days. And Janiel has lost 60 pounds.

She played the part of Ouiser, a 66 yr. old woman. Kara really gets into her part - so much though, that she got her hair dyed. She did a great job and got lots of laughs from her part as Ouiser.<br />
Years ago she played the part of a pick-pocket kid in "Oliver" and she had her hair cut short like a boy.<br />
