School Halloween Concert 10-29-08







Shayne in his costume. He plays three different kinds of drums. The snare drum, bass drum and the gong. He is really good. His costume is also kind of fitting. The concert was good.

Big Horn District Camporee 2008


The boys from our troop at Mt. Potosi October 18th at the Camporee for Boy Scouts. The theme was survivorman. They learned how to make bug stew. They took 1st place in first aid, 2nd place in cooking and 3rd place overall. The boys (and dads) had a great time. I know Shayne did.

A look back on the trip and wedding in New Jersey

Sitting here doing my blog and looking at the photos and listening to the radio. I am at a lose at were the time went. The song on the radio is "You're gonna miss this" and boy is it true. I miss the little boy in the pictures. I do so wish the days had not gone by so fast. I still cannot believe he is old enough to be married now to a beautiful young lady. I still see the little boy in him but I also see a wonderful young man I am very proud of. I now find myself sitting here reminiscing and thinking back on our trip, the wedding and David growing up. So well, here we go on the trip and the wedding. Hope you enjoy.

The trip to New Jersey was fun and exciting. We did get lost, only once. We enjoyed site seeing. Going to the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, New York to see ground zero, and Atlantic City.

While there Keith and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary on 10-1. It is hard to believe it has been that long. It sure does not seem like it. On the 1st we meet Alyssa's mom and step dad and her two sisters. We all had dinner together after going to see the reception center and meeting at the beach.

The wedding was beautiful. Alyssa looked gorgeous. David made a very good choice. Everyone had a wonderful time and danced the night away. We were all there till well after midnight. Everyone danced, including Keith's mom (which unfortunately I did not get a picture of). William did not give anyone a choice to say no when he asked you to dance, he took you to the floor. I think they all enjoyed themselves. Shayne danced his pants off (literally, well his underpants anyway, they ripped under his tux). William played a joke on David before the wedding by telling him the tux place lost his shoe (the picture with the boots) and David freaked out. It was really funny till Will could no longer play along and gave away the joke.

I am very thankful to everyone who was able to make the long trip to New Jersey for the wedding. It was really great to have you there to share in our joy in seeing David marry Alyssa.

Thank you!!!! We love you all very much.
