Let me do my puzzles in peace!



Hadn't heard from her for a while so I went looking for her and this is where I found her. I asked her why she was doing her puzzles in the driveway and not at the table and she told me she was tired of Audra climbing up on the table and taking her pieces.

Quick trip

Hyrum had to meet with some clients down south so the girls and I went along and we were able to stay a couple days down in St.David. We had a good time visiting our families. Corynn had a lunch date with cousin Carly and Grandma in her classroom. I don't think I got a serious picture of them the whole time, goofs! Grandma Sharon made playdough one afternoon for the girls and it made their day, they thought Grandma was the coolest!



Sweet Corn Festival

There are alot of farmers here in Taylor and one of their main crops is Sweet Corn thus the festival. They start off with a parade then head to the Rodeo grounds for the festival, rodeo, and to buy and eat corn in every imaginable way of course. Papa Sam and Grandma Jeannine stopped by for the parade on their way to camp in Alpine. Right after the parade though, the skies opened and gave us a rather nasty rain storm. However, the people of Taylor don't let a little rain spoil their day. The festival went on under tents and so we took the kids over to see what it was like. I'm glad we did they had a blast even though it was wet and COLD!

Outstanding Citizen

Corynn recieved the "Outstanding Citizenship Award" at school. She was the only one in her class to recieve it. They made a really big deal out of it. Had her stand infront of the whole school, sang the school song, invited Hyrum and I and took our family's picture. When I picked her up from school later on that afternoon I told her that if she got that award again the Principal would give her a Taco Bell gift certificate, she said,"Oh! I hope I don't get that award again then! I don't like Taco Bell!" She's so funny, now she begins sentences with, "Now that I'm a citizen..." or "Being a citizen..." she's taking her award very seriously as she does most everything else.
