Samantha's Dance Recital

Here is Samantha's 2008 dance picture. She has been taking at LaShar's again all year (this is her 2nd year of dance). Her recital is Sat. May 10th at Logan High School at 6 pm and after that she will be done with dance lessons until Aug. She loves dance class & I'm a bit worried she's going to be upset if she has a different teacher in the fall (she's had the same teacher for 2 years in a row). Hopefully she'll adjust quickly! I thought about signing her up for lessons during the month of June b/c they do a performance at Ragaing Waters at the end of the month. But, it's twice a week instead of once & I don't think this poor fat girl will be able to do that much running for too much longer!



I had her standing under this tree to take her picture and as soon as I tell her to "Say cheese" she strikes this pose (I think she takes after her Aunt Jamie more and more every single day!)

28 weeks

Well, we're down to about 2 1/2 months now...unfortunately, my shirts (XL in maternity thank you) are getting TOO SHORT! I'm afraid I'm going to be like I was when I was pregnant with Samantha & have to start buying plus size clothes in order to get them to be long enough to cover the elastic on my pants! Ahh...the joys of pregnancy!

Never Ending Projects

So Travis finally decided he was going to get around to "trimming" the trees in the yard. He started with the giant red maple in the backyard last weekend. I think he's almost done with that one! Now only about 4 more to go!! Nash has LOVED driving the lift with Grandpa Larry. Even Samantha has gotten in on the action (in fact, she was quite put out when Grandpa skipped her turn to drive the lift!!)

This one is of Travis in the lift at the very tip top of the giant red maple. I think he ended up taking about 8 feet or so off the top of the tree. He had to tie onto the branches before he cut them off so they wouldn't fall down & break the fence down (not that the fence is in all that great of condition anyway!)


Nash & Grandpa Larry driving the lift. I figure this scenario was safer than when Grandpa took a break & Travis was climbing up the tree with the chainsaw on! Travis swears the chainsaw has a safety. I told him that's what he said about the nail gun!














Our growing wood pile for winter!


Some how we have to figure out how to get all the "junk piles" to the actual dump. I think we'd have the fire dept. show up (again) if we burnt it all without getting a burn permit first??

You have to give a specific time, not just am or pm!
