Dream Big

Dream Big and that it just what the Burley Stake did. The first annual community party was a big hit. It was a big carnival. There was kettle corn, bottle rockets, human foosball, ice cream, and a lot more. The primary, Young Men, Young Women and Adults all presented a program with song and dance. Con and I cooked hamburgers for 750 people on Wednesday and 800 on Thursday. We had a lot of good people to help us. I think it was a big success.

My Little Dancer

I'm a little behind with blogging this last month. The weekend that Tanner was baptized and Will blessed, Taygan had a dance recital. She is a good little dancer and that smile is to die for (Dad keep the shotgun handy). I am so happy that we can be a part of some of the things that Taygan is involved in. Love you Taygan XOXOXOX

Fair Time

Grandpa Con said he would walk home from 4-H meeting. It was laughter all the way.

This is Taygan's lamb.

Conner and Taygan are going to take sheep to the fair again this year. We were in Logan the weekend that they picked them out. Conner jumped right in and got just the one he wanted. Gage was right there to assist in anyway he could.

It's amazing what one year of experience does.

Now, Taygan on the other hand needed some help getting the right one. This is her first year and so she was a little shy at the process, but she had some good helpers. Her name was drawn out of the hat first to choose.
Grandpa tried to get her to pick out one of the little goats. She told Gramps that they were not sheep!

It's Great to be 8

All of our family was able to make it to Tanner's baptism. Tanner is in the center of the picture. He has a tan suit and orange tie on. He might be tiny but he is mighty.

All 20 of us and all because two people fell in love!
Way to go Tanner man!

I can remember when we baptized Cody. This is a pair of good lookin' Boys:)

Max Turns 5

Our Max turned five on the 3rd of June. He is one big baseball, basketball, soccer and football boy. He has loved from almost birth anything to do with a ball.

He loves ice cream, so we brought an ice cream cake and as you can see he is enjoying it to the max.

Is this for me?
The wind was blow and it has hard to keep the candles going but he did a great job of blowing after his dad would light one.
Max ordered Uncle Justin's famous wings and legs. I have to say that they were finger lick'n good.

Memorial Day Road Trip 2011

It was a good day to be in the Park. We saw a lot of buffalo, geese, elk and people.

One black bear
Water running very, very fast
Another black bear
We were looking a mommy brown bear and her two cubs. My camera doesn't take good pictures far away. The little family was about 75 yards from the truck. If you got in the truck you could see them better so we had two or three families pile in with us.
We had a snowball fight at one of our stops. These girls are our friends granddaughters. They got Papa really good.

There is still a lot of snow up high. It didn't get any warmer than 40 degrees.
The ever famous Old Faithful doing its thing.
We sat in the lodge to watch the geyser go off.
This little one was just hours old.
