Juab County 4-H Sweetheart 2010

Here's Lyndsey! She is the Sweetheart for Juab county 2010! I got some pretty sweet pictures of her getting ready to ride thru the horse parade on Thursday. Her dad was "trying" to help her with her horse, and she let him know in no uncertain terms that she didn't need help! Me on the other hand....feel free to help me anytime you want! Especially when it comes to saddling a horse, or you might find me hanging on for dear life underneath his belly!!!!

Way to go Lyndsey!

I'm alive!!!!

Whew! Back from Youth Conference with the 6th Ward, and we had a great time! It's a good thing my mom made me take swimming lessons when I was little! We had the wildest river run this past week! Our boat was deemed "The Clampetts". By no means were we skilled in the rowing department! More than once we ended up on a rock.....clear out of the water...sitting in the raft laughing our butts off. After a bunch of good bounces....off we went...to the next rock!

We actually wrapped our raft around one rock, and because we were laughing hysterically, we were unable to help one of our "Clampett" family members back in the raft! The poor kid was flailing around in the water, waving his arms like crazy, and with tears in his eyes...he told us he was drowning. Well of course we were to busy laughing to be able to lend a helping hand....that's when Marty told him to stand up! He stood up, and miraculously he was fine! The water hit him right above his swimming suit.....so of course we broke out laughing again!

Several of the girls on our raft admitted to wetting their pants......not from fear....from laughter! No pictures were taken that day to back up the fun that was had. We had a water proof camera on our raft...but the gal that was in charge of it was "white knuckling" it all the way down the river, and would NOT let go of the sides of the raft to do any picture taking!!!! What a riot!

We drove the Bishop crazy...some of the leaders drove me crazy...and we had a few tents tipped on the last night with caused a lot of excitement!

Great memories were made.....but not a lot of pictures were taken. I had the time of my life.....and sleeping in a tent for three days DID NOT KILL ME! I must be tougher than I thought.

Febreze House party!!!!

On Monday June 28th, I hosted my first house party! Febreze was kind enough to send the "party favors" and I just supplied the games and luncheon! I had a great turn out and we had alot of fun! I've put in for other house parties, so we'll have to see what happens! Enjoy the pictures!

Busted!!!

I had the Young Women and leaders over last night for a bbq...if you call heating hot dogs up on the bbq and actual bbq...anyway....a couple of the leaders found out I have a blog...and now I'm going to update! Don't want them getting the idea that I'm a slacker!

It's been just less than two weeks since we were at girls camp. I'm finally getting around to posting a picture!

This afternoon Lyndsey has a 4-H horse show. I'm excited to see how she does! It's the multi-county show so it's a little more intense than usual! She's out washing up the pony while I'm shaded up inside! I think this is how is was intended to be! The kids are working and mom is playing on the computer!!!!!!! I'm likin' this idea!

Girls Camp 2010!

Holy cow! It's time for Girls camp and it was winter just yesterday! This weather has been CRAZY! Jace and Lyndsey both head for Idaho for FFA Leadership early Wednesday morning. This summer has been a whirlwind so far! There's been something just about everyday! Hopefully I won't be to lazy to post pictures of some of our summer activities! It just seems like a chore to pull out the camera and plug it in and upload pictures to the blog. I suppose if I'm that lazy, I shouldn't be blogging! Oh well....what ya gonna do? I'm off to cook dinner!

Slacker!

It has been one wild and crazy month...or more.... since I posted on the blog spot. Tons of great things have happened....but I'm to lazy to add pictures!

Jace is now the Juab High Schools FFA President...after weeks of preparation, interviews, early mornings, and a bunch of other stuff.....he came out victorious! Go Jace!

Also elected to officer of Photographer is Lyndsey! She is so excited! (and so am I). She beat out several Juniors (next years Seniors) to secure the spot! Way to go!

Jace also brought a letter home yesterday saying that he was chosen as Juab High Schools Ag. Sterling Scholar! Sounds like we have an extremely busy year coming up!

Lyndsey is trying out for 4-H Sweetheart next week. I'm sure I won't find time to post between now and then.....but hopefully pictures will be included on the next post! Who wants to read just text? Not me! I like photos!

She's here!

My new niece arrived on Monday, April 5, 2010! She's such a cute little fart! She has a head full of black hair...not to mention there's hair clear down her back! I suppose this means she has to "molt" like a baby bird!

All is well with both her and mom. I'm to lazy to down load a picture of her. It's Spring Break, and I have taken that literally. I don't want to do anything!

Thankfully Josh mowed my lawn after he got home from work today. I've been out and "LOOKED" at the mower several times today....I just couldn't make myself get on and start it!

Hopefully we're done with the snow, and soon Spring Break will be over, and I'll get back in the swing of things.....but right now, I'm enjoying my spring BREAK!
