Bats or not

We kept hearing sounds from the fireplace downstairs. I was convinced that we had bats living in the fireplace, and from the sound of it I was not going to be surprised if there were at least 100. So Brent, Blake and Shawn decided to wait until dark (because that is when bats come out to fly) they were going to see. Blake took a newspaper rolled up like a lantern lite it on fire and tossed it up the fireplace and closed the damper.
Shawn heading out the door to see if he could see any bats.

Brent and Shawn then would shoot anything that flew out of the chimney.

After Brent shot two so called bats, they soon find out that what was living in our fireplace was Starling birds.

Since then I think the birds decided that it was not a fun place to be, we have not heard the chirping again.

Yea! I was not that excited with the thought that we had bats living in our fireplace.

Tennis anyone

This post is going to show pictures of the sculptures around the office.

In a couple of years the people will fill out and really look good. In this picture we see a tennis game being played. This picture is the spectators cheering on the game.

This picture was taken just south of the tennis game, it is a play ground.

This picture is taken behind the office, where people park.

Quite often people stop by the side of the road to take pictures. I am going to be anxious for next year's pictures to see how much they will fill in a years time. I just thought it would be fun to show this sculptures.

Berries

The first of July Carissa, Amy and I went and picked Raspberies, we then made them into jams and froze same. Eariler we bought strawberies and made jam.

This is Carissa in the fields picking.

This is Amy, Carissa and Savannah weighting their raspberies. We still need to get some blueberies and marionberries.

I love picking berries and making jam.

Congratulations Savannah,

May 2, 2009 Savannah graduated from Utah State, Bachelor of Science Degree in Nutrition & Food Sciences. We were all happy to be there with Blake and Savannah. Brent, Jared, Amy, Carissa and I were there along with her whole family.

Oops I forgot to turn this picture, it is Savannah standing in line waiting for the Ceremony to start.

That same day we started for home, Blake and Savannah, all their belongings packed up, Brent and I, we stopped in Boise for the night and then drove home the next day.

Oxi-clean

At our 4th of July party Ron (a good friend of ours) took Jared on a sand buggie ride around the farm. Before Jared's accident Ron and Jared use to drive thur the cow pasture in their jeeps getting very muddy and often stuck. This picture: Jared getting seat belted in before the ride. This picture: Jared and Ron stuck and waiting for Blake to pull them out with the tractor

Jared loving every minute.

The clothes Jared had on were very muddy as you can see. Amy soaked his clothes in Oxi-clean for two days and then washed them in the washing machine and you could never tell how muddy they once were. I am now sold on Oxi-clean.

Prom

In April Kyle had his Church Prom. Four of his friends and Kyle and their dates started out at our house riding the gators and playing commando, (Kind of hide-and-seek on gators). After they all got ready for the prom Kyle drove them to dinner in the school bus we have on the farm to dinner at Brighton's.

Kyle's date.

Kyle and his friends.

Kyle had a lot of fun.
