Life

So our neighbor was hatching baby chick and the kids had a great time going over multiple times over a 3 day period of time and seeing these little chicks hatch. Then to our great surprise they gave them to us and we are now tending to there feeding and water. We have a total of 6 and we hope that they are all laying hens that will give us lots of eggs.

Art work by my 2 oldest girls after attending a fun neighbor birthday party. 

Their castles are both unique and beautiful.

Hailey and Bristol had a fun hike up Blacksmith Fork canyon so almost all of us went. We enjoyed finding Water Crest and this other herb that we later found out was Yarrow. The kids were all given a bag to collect items they saw into and then at the end we talked about all the creations that God has given to us. When we returned home Ezra and Bristol made these habitats for some roly-poly's. They are still sitting on my counter.   What creative kids!!!

Stetson and some of the boys from church learned how to change the oil on bishops truck. They are learning a great life skill that can safe them money if they choose. 

Evelyn had another round of stiches and this is what her hand looked like after we removed the stiches, 10 days after the incident. Unfortunately she had trouble opening a can of pineapple.

Oh, the adventures we have!!! 

 

Gun Safety and Shark Tanks

Spencer and I pushed Stetson to get Hunter Safety completed. He was a champ! He was a little nervous about the final test but passed with a 47 out of 50. I went to the in person training with him and he really enjoyed shooting at the range with Grandpa Weyerman's gun. Spencer is excited to take him shooting with him this fall. They intend to do some bow hunting. I am grateful that there are programs that teach these boys how to be respectful and law abiding citizens. It is a privilege's to be able to handle firearm's and something that needs to done respectfully. I feel there instructor and the attending wildlife management officer did a great job teaching what to do and what not to do!  

Stetson and his team presented in their "Shark Tank" class and did really well according to my husband who was one of the Sharks and many other moms who were present. They started a business to 3D print parts for a one wheel and have had a few buyer and some success. It is really good for Stetson and his class mates to learn what it takes to be an entrepreneur. 

All other children in our family are chugging a long in their academic pursuits and are trying to finish up for the year! Rainy inside days are helpful. Sunny warm days are challenging!!!
