Art Show Winner

Tyler had so much fun with the art show this year. He decided to enter two art projects. He entered a sculpture called "Wire Wolf" and entered a picture called"bears". He took the pictures that he entered at Bear World when we were there. He made his sculpture out of wire. It took him a whole week to put it together. His sculpture took 1rst place and his pictures took 2nd place. He was very proud of his sculpture and loved all the people asking him about it. Everywhere we went people would ask him about his sculpture. How did he make it? How did he come up with the idea? He had a blast with it.

Ty and Janae also had a day of fun with Aunt Janell and Cori. They started at the carnival. Ty and Cori loved the rides. Then they went to the art show. (It was Ty's 4th time going. He couldn't get enough ) Then they went and ate lunch and then went to a city play of Beauty and the Beast. Then they went shopping for school clothes. It was a fun day, and they came home tired.

This Is The Place

Tyler and Janae went to This Is The Place with the rest of the primary presidency and their kids. We had a day of fun. We have a primary activity coming up that we are all excited about "a day in Nauvoo" and decided to go to This Is The Place to get some great ideas. The kids had so much fun and learned a lot. As soon as we got there all of the kids wanted to go to the petting zoo. They all loved riding the horses. Tyler rode a horse named Mistee. We got to see pioneer homes and the kids even got to do pioneer chores. They loved that part. All of them loved washing laundry! Tyler had fun in the barber shop where Brigham Young gave him a shave. He also loved hanging out with his friends. We had a great time. Tyler didn't want to leave when they were closing. I think that we could have stayed there all night!

Fun in Idaho

We went to Idaho because Scott and his Brother Shane were coaches of the All Start Team. We decided to make it a little family vacation. Scott's mom and dad came. So did his sister Shauna's family (Jake was on the team) & Shane's family. We spent most of our time at the ball parks watching baseball. The boys had fun playing and learned a lot. Scott and I and his mom made time to go to the Rexburg temple. It was beautiful and it was nice to get away from all of the noise and have it be peaceful. Tyler's favorite part of the trip was Bear World. He loved the petting zoo, the rides, but most of all he loved feeding the bears. Almost as much as Grandpa did. I'm so glad that Tyler brought his camera with him. He took some great pictures of the bears. Tyler had also been saving up his money to by a souvenir, and of coarse he bought a wolf. It's his favorite animal. He even spotted the gray wolf at Bear World. We all had blast, but I'm always glad to get back home. There is no place like home.
