Just Stuff !

This week it actually snowed! So we got a little taste of winter!

Thank goodness it didn't stay long! It is a beautiful day today!

On Monday for Family Home Evening we went up Pine Canyon
to have a picnic and enjoy the fall leaves.

We ate fried chicken, chips, rolls, and drank fruit punch.

Daddy even got to go with us!

After dinner we all went hiking and picked some fall leaves to take home. The fall leaves were awesome and the colors were amazing!

This month Ray started preschool at Headstart!

He is excited to be in school!
I also started working at Headstart as a bus/classroom aide. It sure takes some getting used to, but I love being able to teach again!

We had a water pipe break in the front lawn, and Uncle Brad,brought his tractor over to help dig it up. The kids thought it was fun to ride in the tractor scoop!

Apple Pickin'

The apple tree next to our house, was burdened with apples this year so we took advantage of the abundance of fruit and picked them for FHE.

Bekah loaded apples into her pockets!

Weston got up into the tree, but didn't want his picture taken.

Lyn picked from the top, on his new ladder!

We ended up with 9 big boxes of apples, which made 96 bottles of applesauce and we still had some left over for the horses to snack on.

The Literary Picnic '09

On Sat. June 20th, our family participated in the annual Literary Picnic at the Library. Grandma Susy, Spirit Woman was asked to come this year and do a presentation on Native Americans and tell some of their story legends.

She did a great job, and kept the kids interested by showing them some of the things Indians made,

Teaching an Indian dance,

(Miss Sally dressed up too and read some Indian stories.)
and by teaching us about Indian drums and letting some of the kids play them.

Great job, Grandma Susy!

As always the kids had to have their face painted, and Soda Pop the Clown can paint your face anyway you want.

Ellie's Rainbow and Unicorn face,

Weston and Ray went with the Scary Skull face.

and Bekah looks like a Tiger!
As you can tell it rained on us a bit(a lot)!

However, that didn't stop the Little Mermaid(Miss Sally) from having a great time!

Bubble blowing was a big hit!

Especially, the bubble machine!

Ray thought the Juggle Nuts guy was pretty cool too!

He even gave Ray a lesson.

All in all we had a good turn out for a RAINY day.
We sold maybe 100 snow-cones, for Friends of the Library, but it was a lot of fun!
