The Dancing Potato

The other day I found this picture on the table. I asked Kirsten if she had drawn it. She said, "yeah, it's a picture of me. I look like a dancing potato!"

I asked Jannika how school was a few days ago. She said it was okay but they had too many recesses! (I think she didn't like it outside because it was soooo hot!)
I asked her about school lunch and she told me they had hot dogs that day.
Me: "How was your hot dog?"
Jan: "Pretty good. The outside bun was good but the hot dog looked kind of old; it was probably from the fifties!"

Adventures

My sweet oldest girl went to first grade today. She wasn't scared or nervous and I think she'll have a great day!

Kyle went on an adventure a few days ago for..ahem...work. He and another guy he works with decided it was time to do a little hiking out in a canyon called the Black Box. It is pretty much wading through the river and even swimming in some parts where the water is really deep.

Miss you, Daddy

It is strange that it has been a whole year since my dad passed away. We remember him each day, of course, but today it is on our minds a bit more.

This is a picture of him at last year's county fair parade taken two weeks before he died. It is the last picture I took of him and I still keep it on my camera. ((He is the one walking beside the wagon).

This is a picture of our friend, Lee's wagon with a sign that says, "The Pageant Lives on. Thank you, Montell." The Castle Valley Pageant was not put on this year by a decision by the Church to only hold it every other year so it was nice that they put this sign on the wagon. It touched me that they would think to do that.

Miss you, daddy.
