Lizard got your tongue, I mean ear

At our Ward Corn Boil on Friday night, some kids in the ward found a big lizard and then it got loose in the church. Well, the 1st Counselor, Jim Mentzer picked it up and it ended up biting his ear. Before he pulled it off we got this picture. His ear actually bled from the cut. Ouch! The lizard also bit Will and another kid in the ward too. Fun times!!!!

One of these things is not like the other...

I was just wondering if you can find which plant is a little different from the others.... Maybe the Morgonia.... Maybe ....

Just Sarah...

After church on Sunday I told Sarah that I wanted to take her picture, so these are just pictures of Sarah being Sarah.... goofy and loving animals as always. She also cracks me up because she picked this necklace out and she wears it everywhere, even if she just has her underwear on. What a goofball!!! We love you Sarah!

4th of July

We had a magnificient 4th this year!!!! We had Buck and Raychelle Shumway up here making their usual trip around Arizona together. We love when they stop in Bagdad and this trip was fun! Here was our 4th of July schedule..... Morgan and Buck got up early and did a two hour hike even before the rest of us woke up. Way to go boys!!! Then, we all went down to Main Street and watched the Bagdad parade which consisted of lots of horses, a few local churches trying to get kids to commit to come to their Vacation Bible School and of course the Volunteer Fire Department who had a total of 10 different vehicles and quads, etc all blaring loud. They sprayed everyone with water and it was fun, but Will didn't like the noise. The kids loved running out in the street and grabbing the candy that was thrown. Will finally caught on towards the end that everyone was throwing candy and then we couldn't get him out of the street. It was fun!!! Then we were off to the Community Center for a free day of fun. They had a rock climbing wall, jumping things, laser tag and more jumping things. The pool was open and the Fire Department put on a free lunch of shredded BBQ beef sandwiches, cole slaw, and beans and drinks and it was so yummy. We were then exhausted so we drove home, only to stop and buy 25 cent snow cones. Then we went home and rested. I conked out for a couple of hours and I think the other grown ups did as well.

That evening we had a wonderful BBQ here at the house with Buck and Raychelle and we invited Karen and Thor over as well. It was Morgan's El Pollo Loco chicken and it was AWESOME! We then made homemade indoor s'mores and got out Morgan's fireworks and did sparklers and other such non-violent fireworks. Of course the boys did have to let off one or two very noisy ones as well.

All in All, it was a wonderful holiday and a great memory in my mind...

Need I say more???!!!!

This is what happens when Morgan goes on business trips and I am not there to keep him in line!!!! Gotta love it!!!

Swim Lessons

Sarah and Cassidy and Lund have been taking swim lessons from the local Community Center. They offer it as a free summer service. They are really big on "Free Community Stuff" lately and it is WONDERFUL!!!!! I had the camera at the pool on a day when only Sarah was in the pool for her lessons. Cassidy and Lund had their classes on different days and so they were all home with the babysitter so that this time in the water could be speical for Sarah and I. I am also including some pictures of her friends that took swimming lessons with her because they are such cutie pies!! We love friends!!!

more pictures from Baptism/BBQ

Here are some more memorable moments from last week. We are enjoying Morgan being off of work for a week. Tomorrow we will head to Prescott and see Wall-E or however you spell it. The kids are really excited!!
