White Rice -VS- Brown RiceWhite of course! TASTE WINS ! This picture is for my Sister Christel! We always have this healthy little disagreement. She likes to eat brown rice because it is healthier for you. Now I do agree it is, but it taste so darn yucky why even have it all! Eating healthy is a good thing and I am all for it, but if it taste nasty not worth it to me. When we are having family dinner and rice is being served we text each other to let the other know to bring their own rice. Christel's husband, Kyle, loves it when I come for dinner and I bring white rice. Kyle hates it when he has to eat brown rice. Christel got a new dog this week ! So I told her told her to bring her new puppy "Shep", but leave the yucky brown rice home. It has been fun toying with my sister and making fun of her and her brown rice. I am wondering if Christel actually likes brown rice or has it grown on her over time warping her taste buds. Love you tons Christel!

The infamous eye sore of a stump?After the plumbers pulled out the tree stump for us it was so heavy the could not hall it away. They told us sorry we can not lift it with our tractor. Mark tried to cut it up with a chain saw to big, to much dirt in the roots, and some rocks embedded in the tree stump a no go. So we called an arborist tree stump removal company to come get it. He came with a huge truck with a crane to pick up the stump. This was a professional who did it for a living, but it was still to heavy it was tipping his massive truck with a crane. He suggested we try to clean all the dirt out off the stump to make it lighter. So that we did. No easy task mind you we took over three hours with the water hose shovels and an ice pick try to make it lighter. We were afraid it still might be too heavy so we did not call back the arborist. Mark, his dad and brother, and our home teacher after many weeks deliberating on how to get rid of the stump finally decided to use all the young men in our ward to scoot it on to a trailer bed. Mark being young men's president does have its benefits after all. It was too heavy for all those boys and men it would not budge. Finally our home teacher said what if we turn it and roll it onto the bed. Mark put the trailer right under the stump and they rolled it like a giant pumpkin onto the truck. Whew what a relief to get rid of that eye soar on our front side walk. Sorry we put a few scratches and a dent it mark's brothers new trailer. Sorry Scott hope we can still borrow it in the future. Thanks to all the young men and our home teacher for their help.
For memorial weekend we went to Watkins park in Logan Utah for a picnic with Mark's family. While we were eating our lunches it started to rain hard and then it began to hail. We quickly gr abed our things and headed to the bowery to finish eating. We all sat there huddled together it was getting cold for thirty minutes. We were hoping to see if the rain and hell would pass over us so we could go see the animals at the little zoo there. Eventually the rain stopped and we had fun at the zoo feeding the fish and the ducks. Just as we were heading to the cars it began to rain again. We were grateful for the rain break and the fun times with cousins that day.(Where is Parker for this picture I thought he was there. Just like that boy to take off in the rain playing.)

Meg's Preschool graduation from Einstein Preschool
May 27, 2010

Her class Teachers: Mrs. Karen, and Mrs. Heather

Meg is in the back row the only one with glasses.

Meg last one with a horse singing songs.

Meg loved Preschool this year she was taught by her Aunt Mrs. Heather. Every day she would ask me do I get to go to school today. She would come home all happy having a great time. This year with Meg being the only one home I got to substitute about once a month. It was great teaching the kids and watching Meg grow and learn. Next year Mrs. Karen is retiring. It looks like I might be taking her place as the new preschool teacher with Mrs. Heather in the fall. I look forward to helping Mrs. Heather next year!

Bunderson Elementary Closed 2010
Friend Brady, Sariah, Parker, and Meg on train ride. Sariah on the rock wall. Meg on the rock wall. Our elementary school Bunderson is closing! We went to the final Bunderson carnival the last week in may. At least it was all Free the food the rides everything! The kids had fun climbing the rock walls, eating ice cream, cotton candy, pizza, hot dogs, and riding the rides. It all was fun but bitter-sweet, since we were all saying goodbye to great school. The girls will be going to foothill next year. Parker moves up the the ACY middle school. We are to close to bus barely, but to far to let the girls walk home. They loved walking home from Bunderson. We will miss the great teachers and our beloved school.
