4th of July

This invitation is for anyone who will be in Southern Utah on the 4th of July!

We would love to have a BBQ at our house that day. Let us know if you will be here and I'll give some small assignments! We hope to see you there!

Assistant To The Regional Envionmental Manager

Just thought I'd give you an update on the ScottsinCedar:
So, Jaren received a promotion and he is now, you guessed it, "Assistant To The Regional Envionmental Manager!" Really, no joke. In fact his picture and title were posted in the Cirlce 4 Newsletter. I don't know what he does - I just like the title.

Cooper is definatly the child of Evil Knevil and Dennis the Menace. He starts asking to go outside at 7am and he is COVERED in scrapes. He got a huge one on his knee, which Jaren pushed on and re-opened over the weekend. Yesterday he told me his scratch is "rediculous!" He LOVES watching "So You Think You Can Dance" and his favorite song is "Girlfriend" by Avril Levine. But don't worry, he is OBSESSED with anything to do with hunting - to the point that even Jaren says, "I hope people don't think I taught him all that."

Porter, who calls himself "Frodo" is a mini Coop. In fact, when I'm in the shower, Cooper gets into Porter's crib and launches him from behind onto the rocking chair he's scooted to the crib to catch him. They both think it is hilarious. He will repeat most everything we ask him to say, but his favorite things to say are "I'm Happy!" in a high pitched voice (everytime he walks into the room) and he calls Coop "Bruddy."

I'm just cutting hair, teaching dance, selling jeans, being a mom to Bruddy and Frodo and wife to the Assistant to the Regional Envionmental Manager!

The star of The Paper Dragon--our Clayre-bee

Well, Clayre did an amazing job preforming in "The Paper Dragon". She was so cute. Her dancing was fantastic. Here are a few pictures. Isn't her costume great?

Clayre's Dance Recital

Clayre-bee has a dance recital on Friday and Saturday night. June 8th and 9th. It is at 6:30 p.m at the Eccles Main Stage. She will be preforming on both nights. We will probably go to one...I'm thinking the Saturday performance.

So if anyone wants to go....Please come. Also we could go together and I could get the tickets. Just let me know (call or leave a comment in the next couple of days).

zucchini anyone???

So I went a little crazy when planting the zucchini in our garden this year...I think I planted 10-15 zucchini plants and every one of them are growing zucchini's - so far. Nothing like homemade zucchini bread right? You can come pick them yourself (or if you live in Houston, you only have to pay the shipping, what a deal, fresh zucchini from the garden for only $4.95). And I'm sure we'll have plenty of grapes to share too...they are yummy! Fresh grapes from the vine always remind me of Great Grandpa/Grandma Jones and eating them at their trailer. Eat up!

"A little something to brag about"

I know you think your father and mother are archaic when it comes to computers (because we are), but I know you will all be proud of me. My remote for the car hasn’t been working, so I went for a new battery. They said my battery was fine and I would need to get my remote reprogrammed with Toyota. So, I tried that and they said I needed a new remote and that it would be between $180 and $200 to get it. I told them I could open the door by hand for that much money. Anyway, I decided to try ebay. I found a new remote for $6 or $7 and ordered it and then did a google search for instructions to program it. Altogether, it cost me under $20 with shipping, etc. Today at noon I programmed my new remote and it works great! Can you believe it?

I tried to go on the family blog to share this great news, but it says my invite has run out. Are you trying to tell me something?

mainly for pa and fire, but others might enjoy. not a bad way to hunt. if only l and r bird ranch would have had this to get to the south field, intead of the ole ford. i don't think fire could even get this stuck crossing the wash. well... i guess he could. we would have fought for the chance to go "clean the screen".
