My Husband Has a Funny Job

It's Backwards Day at Austin's School


Jill won 1st place in an essay contest on Why I Love My Community, and she got to read it to the Utah League of Cities and Towns mayors and city council conference. We got to stay at the Sheraton. She got prize money and travel money. She did a great job reading it (and writing it of course). We went swimming at night and in the morning, and she got a gift basket of great treats

This is Ernest, the bellhop/customer service/security man at the hotel who gave all of us some cool balloons. He was so funny.

We got to stay at the hotel on Jill's birthday. We went to see my Grandpa, Mom and sisters that night, too, and had some quality cupcakes. Happy Birthday Jill!


Jill rode her horse in two parades as the rodeo princess. She rode our new horse, Cheno. We need to teach Jill to do a softer beauty queen smile:)

Hanna and Austin rode on the school float.

We celebrated our 13th Wedding Anniversary. Since it was on a Sunday, we had a candlelight dinner in our living room with Jill and Hanna as our waitresses. Lucy was the dancer for entertainment. Carly just wanted to sit on my lap and eat my delicious food with me.

I love my kids!!!
