Junior

Heather and Chad and Haldey have had Junior for 17 years.  He has been very healthy.  Yesterday was the first time he has ever had to have anything done.  He had to have 3 teeth pulled and a growth on his ear was taken care of.  Not to bad for a 17 year old dog.  He has also had a stroke and kept on plugging along and playing ball.  The stroke was like a year or so ago.  This is him after the teeth pulling and ear fixing.  He just wanted to sleep.  Man when  he sleeps...he really sleeps.  Chad has come home from work  and literally drug him from behind the couch with his feet and around the living room and then finally he wakes up.  Good dog. 

Pig wrestling 2012

 Hadley (right) and the Pink Ladies getting ready and waiting for their pig wrestling to start.  They had fun last year so they wanted to do it again. It is held at the Fair grounds in Laramie.

 They really get in to action and excitement of the contest.

 Love the shirt.  The girls made their shirts.  Good job girls

ALL DONE. We had a blast.  They did a great job and really didnt eat to much mud.  Same time and place next year????

Guitar man

Clayton has been saving his money because he is so into guitars that he wanted to get an electric guitar.  Hed saved his money and was  able to get one.  Now he is saving the money for the amp....He is so excited to have it and he is doing a great job at learning to play.  Very proud of him.

After effects of Bear Lake

Poor MaKenna was so burned from being at Bear Lake that this is what happened a few days later.  I feel so bad for her. Im sure she was miserable while she was here but she wouldnt say.  Silly girl.

visiting Grandma

 After Bear Lake..Heather and Hadley and MaKenna and Bryson came back to Kemmerer.  On Sunday we took them home and Heather wanted to stop and see grandma.  This is Hadley and grandma

This is Heather and Hadley with Grandma.  I think grandma was happy to see them.

Birthday Surprise

 On Friday the 20th...Jamie calls at 9:10 all stressed out.  Dad..I took the day off and brought the kids to Bear Lake and my van is acting up and I cant get hold of Bill cuz he is working.  Can you come and help us?  So Russ threw in tow cables and screwdrivers and other tools and we headed to Bear Lake.  All the way over he said...I dont know what we can do about the car.  I dont think we can tow it.  I dont know what we can do.  I said well, lets just go see and wait til she gets hold of Bill  .  So we pull up next to Jamies van and he gets out and starts looking at it and 9 grandkids and parents come from off of the beach and yell...surprise...happy birthday...GOT YA....

 The girls pulled it off.  Heather went to Jamies on Thursday.  She came from Laramie and Kim left Payson at 7:00 in the morning and Crystal left around 9:00.  Jamie was there by 8:30 to get a spot and call her dad.  YEAHHHHHHH.. We did it.  I think he was very happy and surprised

WE LOVE YOU DADDY
