Robert's first PIG hunt....




Robert went on his first pig hunt on Friday. There is a place up near Brigham city that you can plan a hunt and pay the fee and then go look for a pig, goat or mountain sheep. It is guaranteed so if you don't shoot anything you get your money back. This year Robert went for the pig. Three of his brothers and his dad all went. They started hunting around 9:30 and by noon all four of them had shot there pigs. He is so excited to go again and take Austin. His pig weight about 375 lbs. That means a lot of ham, bacon and sausage for us in a couple of weeks.

Summer Days....

It has been a pretty quiet summer since we came back from vacation. Austin spent a couple days at cub scout camp. He really enjoyed it. He has been back at the Taylorsville Rec center in the mornings. He has enjoyed this as he is able to meet new friends, rock climb the rock wall, go swimming, and play many different sports. When school starts he will start going to the day care with the twins for an hour and then he will go to school.

Becky and her family left yesterday afternoon. They have been here for 2 weeks packing up her mom and dad's house after 23 years. They actually were able to get the house sold before they left which is a relief off there backs. I can not imaging having to pack Dad's house... They ended up getting 2 penske truck in order to get everything down to New Mexico. We had fun while they were here. Becky and I were able to go to a movie last weekend with Gina to dinner and a movie (Mamma Mia) it was fun. Robert had taken the boys camping so I just had Becky's sister and mom watched Megan.

Robert was playing on the computer the other day and downloaded something that he shouldn't have so the computer isn't really working. so he said we would go by an new laptop. So Friday night we did. Considering the computer was 5 years old it is nice to get a new one with a little more speed.

Robert is going Pig Hunting in 2 weeks and school starts in 3 weeks. Where has the SUMMER gone....
