Take the Grandkids to WORK Day!!

The kids wanted to know where grandpa went and what he was doing so.... we went for a little field trip. Kolbie thought the tractor was great- until grandpa actually turned it on. Then he couldn't get off fast enough.

Kamree climbed right up and sat down. She asked about a million questions the whole time. After a few minutes Kenyon got a little braver and climbed up to see what was going on.

He thought that was great but- WHEN DOES HE GET TO HELP DRIVE? Grandpa let Kamree and Kenyon help him drive the tractor. Kenyon thought that was the highlight of the whole day.

Kolbie thought the best part was chuggin' grandpa powerade. (and you can see he didn't have to twist grandpa's arm too hard)

Babysitting with Style

We took Sharlee and JJ swiming while we were babysitting the other night. Sharlee had a blast swimming with Tyler. He has babysitting skills!! Everytime Matthew tried to get near Sharlee she would splash him and run the other way.

This is what JJ thinks about my babysitting skills. I guess I need to work on it.

FUN!!

the young men and young women in our ward decided to do something fun for their activity for the end of the summer. All 6 groups had to build a boat, it could be made out of anything you wanted as long as it only cost $35.00. All the boats were made (Kary's group- the teachers- built a 12 foot long, 4 foot high, pirate ship) the whole group headed out to Quail Resevoir to have a race and see who would float. Tyler's group tied a matress to some big foam blocks, and Matthew's group took a large sheet of plywood, cut two holes in the middle, put buckets in to sit in, then put big round pipes under the edges. It was an interesting sight when all the boats got to the water. Matthew helped build his boat, but he had football practice while the activity was going on so- Craig took his place on the boat. To make a long story short, the priests (Matthew's boat) won the race, Deacon's got second, then the girls after them. The pirate ship- it sank. But not before the boys had time to bomb the other ships with water balloons. All of the kids had fun.
