pro golfball

A conversation I had with Austin the other day I had to write down. Austin brought me in a old dirty golfball and was way excited. He kept trying to talk to me, but I was busy trying to clean the kitchen so I wasn't listening at first. I am glad I did, I chuckled all day.

Austin: mom I found grawmpa a 'pro-golfball mom."
me: that's cool Austin.
Austin: but mom do you know what a 'pro-golfball' is?
me: no what is it.
Austin: (with actions) you hit it. pooow and it really likes the holes so... bam it goes right in the hole.
me: (laughing) really.
Austin: yep and now I owe grawmpa two bucks cuz i got him a 'pro-golfball'

man I can't make this crap up.

County Fair

Preparing for the Fair

Austin

We all headed down to the barn one night when Jim came over to help us shear our sheep. Cody's sheep was black and when we sheared it, it was white underneath. One more week till fair time.

Cody and Austin

Whit & Bretta

Manda & Luke

Yeaaaaa. Manda and Luke got engaged. Hip hip horray! The big day is November 20th. We are so excited. We wish them lots of happiness! (may the force be with you skywalker family!) We think a lot of Manda and Luke must be pretty neat to have caught her eye!

The love of summer

I made the mistake of leaving the windows unlocked a couple weeks ago after church. Of course Austin rolled it down as soon as he was in his seat. I almost reacted with the usual "roll up the windows...the a/c only works with the windows up etc..." But I looked out the side mirror and this is what I saw. It was so precious I made Whit take a pic with her phone. We left the windows down the rest of the way home and enjoyed the sunshine. A good lesson to let life slow down and enjoy the summer while you can.

Austin the fish

Austin made me smile to watch him at lake powell. He just would put his arms back and kick his feet and go no where for hours. He got this squirt gun and really wanted to paddle to get the kids and thats the only time he got frustrated he was going no where. Most of the time he was quite content to tread water. He was in the water more than he was out.
