WOW!!! Can you believe how good his teeth look? I also couldn't help but notice how completely different he looks. It's only been a little over two years and you can already see the beginnings of the handsome man he will be. I think he's even starting to look like my handsome Manno cousins!! Love you kiddo ~ I'm so proud of how well you handled the whole braces thing. I'm glad you think it was worth it!!

New Chicks!!

Look at all those fuzzy chickens. 20 hard to find Delawares that are in the coop. They lay nice big brown eggs and are an excellent meat bird too. We are going to get a rooster too and take a shot at raising babies.

When I find really good deals on boots that fit members of our family, I buy them. It kind of looks like I have some sort of sick shoe obsession here but we have four boys and every boot you see here is near new and are mostly sixty five to over a hundred dollars a pair. I usually get them for under ten bucks. I hate having cold or wet feet when we go camping.

Graand slam

Sunday morning we were listening to the Mormon tab sing while I made the family their very own grand slam breakfasts.
Here is the treat we made for between the Saturday conference sessions. That originated from a friend of Emily's at here work. Apple dumplings with ice cream which all the boys complained about until they tasted it. Then they wolfed it down. It was very good.

Conference week-end family time

Here we are on Saturday morning making bacon and eggs
This is our big cast iron griddle that we have been using since I got it for my Fathers Day gift some time ago. The more you use it, the more seasoned it gets. That way it is ready for all the camping we are doing this summer. It is seasoned so well now that it’s like cooking on a Teflon pan.
