Carrots

These are carrots we grew. The red ones are a little disappointing. We thought they would be red all the way through, no just the skins. So if you cut them with the skins on them then they look cool. We thought this looked like a bouquet of flowers.

Blogging

Don has been trying to figure out this blogging stuff. He has been trying to post somethings. He has been having a hard time with it. I was surprised he hadnt posted any football or cross country pictures.
The problem is I am not much help. Maybe we will figure this our before too long. I am going to see if I can post some pictures.

Garden Recycling

I found an old power pole with antique glass insulators along an abondoned rail road right of way in Chicago. I had a brainstorm about how to reuse it.

It was really hard to clean the insulators but, once clean they are really pretty.

Summer Color

This summer has been really mild. We really just started to water about three weeks ago. After a long, snowy winter it is great to be out in the yard. The consistantly deep snow cover really did wonders for the plants especially, the perennials.

People in Chicago always complain about the winter. They just forget about the pay back in summer. Besides, If it is cold one can always bundle up. When it is hot, once your naked there is not much more you can do to get comfortable!

Number Six is now Baptised

Clara VerJean had her 8Th birthday on June 5Th. Summer birthdays rock! Poor Emma gets the shaft every year! She has to share her special day with the savior of the world. No contest who is going get all the attention. Of course, it is her own fault! She just had to be born a month early. To top it off, she mistook the umbilical cord for a bungee cord and jumped over the edge yelling Yeee Hawwww!

Anyway, back to Clara. She had a special day with lots of friends and family in attendance. Her aunt Liz made her beautiful baptismal dress.

Stephen's Graduation

Stephen's graduation was really nice. The choir sang which he is a part of so I circled him so you can find him. Or you could play Where is Stephen. It was suppose to be outside but it was raining so they had it inside. But by the time we got out it was really nice. Hyrum and I were an hour early so we got to listen to the band play. They are great. It was really a nice day.

Congratulations Stephen!!!!
