Nothing screams the fair like the butter cow!

Star Boars sand sculpture at the Culture Center.

Something every backyard should have.....at least mine!

Slides are way too much fun!

Archery 2010

Both boys are in 4-H Archery now. They enjoy using the bow and aiming for that yellow target. It is amazing how they can get 'cued' in and nail it. It is also interesting how their aim wears down as their arm wears out! It was a hot day, but they were troopers. They each enjoyed the satisfaction of hitting the yellow zone. Drew had 2 bullseye-Good job!

Nice form Jaden!

What'cha you smiling about?

Getting 'eyed' in on the target.

Jaden the Zealot!

Wasn't even thinking about it!

Catching Up

Well, life is full of rocket speed distractions....mainly the simple toils of parenthood, job, and what may be leftover for leisure. So, I will be sharing highlights of 2010. Good news? We have been enjoying life and too busy to blog! I hope that is the same problem you all are having.

their children and their children's children.

How many dozen? I lost count.

Pork or Beef bacon? I decided Beef is better!

Jaden had an exciting time on the camp out the night before the morning grub!

So thankful we have 'Uncles and Cousins' who make time for sharing moments with these younger ones. It really is something that both my sons look forward too! Such a better choice than TV, texting, iTouch....etc.
