Homecoming

This was Courtney's first homecoming dance. September 20, 2008. The boy that asked her is Kyle Sullivan. He decorated her room with balloons, confetti, crete paper streamers and lots of little glitter foil pieces. So, she gathered it all up in garbage sacks and loaded up his truck with it. She wrote YES on his window with window markers. He used his cousins' truck to take her to the dance.....his still had STUFF in his truck. He picked her up at 7:30 in the morning on Saturday and they headed to the sand dunes by Sand Hollow. They rode most the day, then the rush was on to get ready for dinner and the dance. She told him not to be on time (5:00). So, he came at 5:30 *PERFECT!!* She pulled it all together just in time and she looks beautiful. They went to dinner with a group of friends. One of the mom's cooked for all of them. They went for pictures and headed back to the sand dunes. She had a great time!

TROUBLE!

This is Austin and his friend Treyden! They are two "peas in a pod". They hang out all the time and kick up the dust in the neighborhood. I tried to get them to smile, but they wanted to pretend they were asleep. They like to dress up as cowboys. They have a little girl (friend) in the neighborhood named Addie, and when she plays with them she dresses up in her cowgirl outfit!

Youth Elk Hunt

Zac, Steve and Brian went hunting for Elk on Saturday, September 13, 2008 and they did not see any Elk! However, Zac got a good shot of some bull Moose. There were 4 bulls just hangin' out together.

Little Hands On The Farm

This is always the highlight of the State Fair. The kids get to go through the farm and experience everything you would do on a farm. (Feed and milk cows, feed chickens and collect eggs, haul hay, pick apples, plant a garden) At the end they turn in all their 'goods' and they get paid. Then they can buy goods at the market.

Zac Does Moby Dick!



When we went to the State Fair Zac took a ride on Moby Dick! The ride was fun, so he said! He is screaming for joy (whoever Joy is) and about 30 minutes after the ride he lost his color, almost his lunch and gained a headache!!!
