Favorites Fall Swap

My friend just told me about this swap and it sounds like a lot of fun. Check it out. The deadline is this Friday if you want to join in.

Roughin' It

We had our ward campout this last weekend. We had a lot of fun. It made us realize how much we miss the mountains! Here are some pictures.

Tammy, this one's for you

Okay, so my little sister Tammy once had this boyfriend that was, well, interesting. He did not last long, so we didn't get to know him very well. All I really know is he did not wear socks with his shoes (gross) and he liked to use the expression, "That's off the Chain!"

Now, blame my sheltered life or whatever, but I was never quite sure what he meant by that. (Just to clear up--I have heard the expression used around since then, but this was like 3 years ago, and it was not so common, at least not in my limited social circle). Anyway, I found this shirt on Old Navy clearance a few weeks ago, and thought of "Jim" (which was not really his name, but I could never remember his real name, so that is what he was known as in our family). So Tammy, this is for you...

I think it's a pretty cute shirt, but once again, I'm not sure what it's really supposed to mean. Is it saying he's cool, or he's not in trouble? I may never know....

Jim, are you out there? Can you clear this up?

Preschool

Ethan started preschool today! I know it is not officially school yet, but it still feels like a big step for us! Here are a couple pictures of him and Emeline on the first day.

Battling Tops

My Brother-in-law Darin has this game that was originally from the '70s that everyone loves to play. Zak even "borrowed" some gore-tex fibers when he worked at W.L.Gore up in Flagstaff (Haven, don't tell!) to use for the launching strings so the tops can get spinning really fast. Here is a picture of Zak and my cute niece, Madison, playing the other night.
