Rustyn’s Room | Live Rodeo Stream | Holiday Sealing
Jun 14th
Friday my mom, Aunt and her kids, and Mylea came over for the day to help Amanda out with Rustyn’s room. They did a wonderful job painting it and got things kind of figured out for the crib and everything else. I was out the majority of the day as soon as I finished my test for the summer class that I’m taking right now in June. When I got back in the early afternoon they had the wood up and it looked great I think. The blanket that Shane made even matched all three of the colors in the room! What kind of luck is that?
Later that day we had the RVRCE Jackpot (http://www.wonderfulwesterns.com). We streamed the event live over the internet, and had a blast doing it. Hopefully we are able to reach more people that want to watch the rodeos, but can’t.
Yesterday we ran over to Snowflake to the Temple where some friends were sealed. It was great to be in the Temple, and we were kind of hoping that Rustyn may have wanted to grace us with his presence since we were already in that area, but no such luck. We ran by Walmart and bought his crib and a few other things. Ready or not here he comes.
Topsy Turvy Tomatoes
Jun 8th
Part of our garden we wanted to plant this year was Tomatoes. Since our lovely dog Luna likes to eat them aparently out of the garden we had to find alternative means of planting them. My mom had some of these so we tried them out yesterday. Definately an interesting way to plant them and Luna won’t be able to get to them for a while.
Bog Tank 2009 Fishing | Twitter Style
Jun 6th
Howdy all, every year the Apache Indian Tribe holds a fishing derby for a day at Bog Tank. They give all the kids 14 and under a day pass to fish on the reservation and give out tons of prizes. My dad and I took Mylea and the Kim Madrid children. I was told to take a camera and keep everyone up to date on what was happening so I used Twitter. Here’s the day in a twitter stream as well as some pics that I took. Remember it is twitter so the newest if first. (Read it from the bottom up for a chronological order of event)
- All done for this year. Hopefully next time won’t be near as windy
- Too bad it was already closed.. No tank fishing this time.
- Back to catch fish from a tank for Wacey and Shayman.. Good ‘ol hot dogs for lunch.
- Still windy. Sad because this could have been even that much more fun.
- Poles are in.. Waiting for hotdogs now. 3 fish and tons of crawdads. Pretty sure everyone had a blast.
- Mylea just caught a crawdad with her fish.
- Shaymon is catching crawdads with his little pole. Missed the photo though. Is that a fish story then?
- Sigrid caught one!! We it off the hook and now Shaymon wants one.
- Mylea and dad went to measure Mylea’s catch.. Stay tuned for prizes.
- So many people here! No wonder we aren’t getting any bites.
- Sigrid just brought a crawdad in. Almost a fish. Worms seems to be the keeper at bog tank today.
- Snack time! (For us, not the fish)
- Mylea just caught number two.. She must have the spot.
- As soon as I left the boys they both thought they caught fishes and reeled in.. Maybe next time, hehe.
- Mylea caught fish number one with a worm.. I think Luna wanted to eat it.
- Is this a glimpse of the future? If so then patience is a virtue that I still have yet to acquire.. Not with fishing, but with the kiddies.
- Been fishing for 15 minutes and we are already on potty break number two.
- At Bog Tank for a kids fishing tourney. Should be fun, but the wind needs to chill out.
Hope you all enjoyed that as much as we did fishing today. Here’s the photos..
