Lake Powell

Joe and I went to Lake Powell with our friends and stayed on their family's houseboat. It was so much fun! I had never done that so it was a new adventure for me! This is us on the house boat. We played in the water, fished, and had a lot of fun! It was a great vacation for the summer! It will probably be are main one for the summer especially with gas prices being so expensive. Some of the other things we have planned for the summer are: Joe going with his friends this weekend to Moab to go rock crawling, the family sleep out this weekend, hunter safety at this end of the month for me, three wedding receptions in July. Then by that time the summer will have flown by and it will be time go to work. For those of you who don't know I am planning on just finding a job other then teaching for now. I am looking into a teachers aid job at South Elementary currently but we will see if anything else opens up or what will be happening by then. I hope everyone is enjoying their summer! Love ya all!

The Three Quarter Cow

Jesse Matthews, being a good farmer, loved good animals.  He always wanted to have the best.  He accumulated a small group of registered Holstein dairy cows, which he was very proud of.  He was especially happy when his cows would win at the county fair or some other show, and his cattle won many prizes.

One day he had a young cow that was surplus that he wanted to sell.  The cow buyer that worked the area came by to look at her.  He was satisfied with the cow and the price was fair.  Jess said, “Before you take her I have to tell you something that you cannot see.  She only gives milk from three quarters of he udder.” An infection had caused her to lose the producing ability in one quarter.  This problem could not be seen when the cow was dry and out of production.  The buyer noted that the udder problem made everything different so he left without the cow.  Jesse left to resume his farm work.

A short time latter the buyer knocked on the door and asked for Jess.  Eva, his wife, reported that he had left.  The buyer said, “You know Mrs. Matthews you have the most hones husband I have ever met. He didn’t have to tell me about the cow’s problem, I would have never known.  I’m going to buy that cow because of the respect that I have for your husband.” He wrote out the check and took the cow.

Karina Drums

The first try to add the video didn't work guess you can't add it with other pictures.

Karina and Kira

Kira was in the 6th grade Band she did well with the Clarinet. We had to have her stretch her neck to get the picture.

Karina received a Patriot award, she had to memorize lots of stuff, you will have to ask her. She also played the Drums.

May day Program

I took this at a program that Jacob and Melaine were for a City May day program. I also wanted to try the video upload.

At the Scout-a-rama Elijah wanted to climb the wall. He didn't get very high but had fun. Sally's booth was mentioned in the paper the next day.
