More Fall Fun

Carl liked having his face painted at the Carnival. Heather made the cool spider web cake and cupcakes.

More of Fall

There was a pumpkin patch and fun games at the Carnival. Elizabeth's 5th grade class ran a spook alley, and they made about $700 for their Yellowstone trip in the spring.

Fall Memories 2010

Fall in the valley of the Grand Teton is beautiful. Heather was home from BYU-Provo and took Nikole, Elizabeth and Carl to the Driggs Elementary Halloween Carnival. Carl is 6.

55 bags frozen corn

These are pictures of my mother and I passing corn back and forth through our homemade "dumb elevator" while we worked on freezing corn. We ended up with 55 bags of corn. We think that's a year's supply, if we eat about one a week. I was so excited my mom surprised me and came to Driggs to help can corn and a gazillion pears.

Derek Makes His Living

Derek has earned his spending money the last several summers by a small lawn mowing business he started. He obtained the job with the Bates Cemetery the last two summers and he also mows two lawns for Clint Argyle. He's saving his money for a mission and college, and he was able to use some for his trip to Europe this summer.

My Derek and Rome

July 13 - 26, 2010 my Derek and I were blessed to be able to go on a trip to Europe. Here, we are in front of the Great Collosseum in Rome, Italy. It was around 100 degrees and very humid, so my hair looks lovely, and I didn't even care by then. Through a series of events, I actually ended up being the leader of our group of about 12 from Teton. We joined up with groups from Utah, California and Tennessee. I had never noticed to the degree that I did on this trip, that Derek reminds me so much of Blaine. He walked like him, talked like him, had similar mannerisms and even treated me nice, just like Blaine. Some great spiritual things happened on that trip, along with all the wonderful sites we were able to see. I'll journal them, as I get more photos posted and learn how to do this blog.
