Freedom Awards Gala

My Dad and Candy took us to the Freedom Awards Gala.

The award recipients were; Neil Holbrook who served as a "Frogman" now known as Navy Seals during World War II.
Mona Heern, who lived in Iran until her father was executed for practicing their Baha'i religion.
Sargent Merlin German, who while serving in the Marine's in Iraq received burns from a roadside bomb, where he received burns over 97% of his body.
President Boyd K. Packer, who earnestly prayed for the opportunity to follow in his brother's footsteps as a pilot in World War II, promising God that in exchange he would dedicate his life to whatever purpose he might require of him.

We almost had to call in the fire marshal with all of those candles on the cake.

Pictures for Dad

My dad is turning 70 this year and we couldn't think of anything to get him that he doesn't already have. So, while the kids were all in town we decided to dress up and take some silly pictures and make him a shirt and apron.
When we would go on vacation as kids my dad would make shirts for us so he could tell that we were all there. So we decided to do the same.

I love my siblings!

Playing at Jen's house

All of my siblings are in town so we went up to Jen's house for BBQ, horseback riding and smores.

It got a little rainy so we moved the smores indoors. Dale was nice enough to make them extra messy for us.

Salem Springs Tri

We haven't been training but it was a lot of fun to go down and do the race

Here are some pictures during and after the race. I'll post more later when I get them from the others. Kim & I decided to do the race together. We spent a lot of time taking pictures of each other doing silly things on the coarse instead of pushing ourselves for time. If you can't have fun, why TRI!

While the cat's away the mice will play.....

That's what my mom use to tell me and it looks like it's true. While the Bushman's were out of town a couple of us got bored so we decided to play a little trick on them. Last time they were out of town we replaced most of their family pictures with pictures of us. This time we decided that we would fill their bathtubs and toilets with gold fish. It's amazing how many fish you can get for $5.

(Noreen, Lindsey, Natalie, Allen & Chad)

After we got the fish we took them over and let the family dog (sax) check them out, Lindsey even put them in their bed for a while.

It was so much fun for us. We love when the Bushman's go on long vactions!

Casper family photos

The Casper's had family in town and we tagged along and took some family photos.

The hole

We spent all day digging holes in the front yard installing pressurized irrigation.
We may have gotten a little dirty.
