Fair fun

We went to the fair last weekend with Brian's parents. We got to see a little bit of the rodeo, a few barns of animals, the vendors in the sundome, the ag building and rides. The rides were the kids is favorite part. This year Jaxon discovered the big kid rides. He rode a ride called the cliff hanger. He's laying down in a hang glider going around in real fast. He loved it. Phebe just loved everything. She got to go on the ferris wheel wiht Jaxon and me. I remembered why I don't like the ferris wheel. To high and a lot of wind. We had fun and plenty of fair food.

Apple Picking Time

Tis the season to pick apples. It is a family tradition to go pick apples with my grandparents and parents. This year my parents were not able to come. Poppop likes to load us up on apples. We usually get three to four boxes full. We never seem to get them all eaten before they go bad. We decided to go small this year. We tried. Poppop kept giving us more. Lucky, Brian's parents were with us and they got some and so did Brian's work. You can see Phebe's curls. Jaxon loved picking the apples from the ladder.

Girly Do's

Phebe let me and her grandma play with her hair. She looks so cute. She wanted to keep her curls, so she could look like me. We are trying to talk her into putting rollers in again. She doesn't want to. I don't think she wants to sleep with them.

Wolf

Jaxon received his Wolf last week. He also got a gold and two silver arrows. He needs four more electives in the next month to get another arrow. Hopefully, we can do this.

Things that go BANG in the night!!

No, Todd it's not what you're thinking.
This is what went BANG in the night. Our mailbox got into a little accident with a car. The car took out our mailbox, the post that it was on with the cement, a rail road tie, and the telephone box. We have no phone. So I tried calling Qwest, using the right procedure, but couldn't get a live person. So I called my own Qwest man, my Dad. He is coming out to replace the box. Now we have to replace the mailbox this weekend. I liked our mailbox. This is the second accident with the mailbox since we put it up this year. The first one, the mail lady hit the mailbox with her mirrors.

This is where our mailbox use to be. You can see the hole where the post was and you can see the tire tracks of the car heading for our mailbox.

Here is the shredded mailbox. I don't think we can use it.

This is the telephone box. Between the mailbox and the telephone box is about 30 feet. They kept on driving.

Snores anyone

We promised the kids we would make smores with our new fire pit. Phebe was so excited. She kept saying, 'We're having Snores!' We had a good laugh at this. So does anyone want a Snore?

Jaxon's Plane Ride

Jaxon was able to go flying in a Cessna 172 plane this past Saturday. He took part in a group called the Young Eagles progam. They were having free rides for kids 8-17years old. Jaxon liked it so much that now he wants to go every year. He wasn't to sure on flying in a little plane. He didn't tell us much about it. He was trying to be cool. I got more info when Jaxon was telling Poppop about it. He told him they flew aroung the valley and he was able to see the SunDome and the mountains. Jaxon's flight was about a half an hour long. He went up 3,ooo feet in the air. I think now he wants to fly planes. He's always wanted to be an Blue Angel pilot.
