A fun week at the Townhouse...Binding quilts that Aunt Lorraine so beautifully quilted on her long arm machine...

 Naia at her Cottage Fair at school where the students show all the projects they've worked on during the quarter.  It was impressive!

 Ella with her projects...

 Hand sewing is really nice.....

 Took out the bushes in the front - they were looking pretty sad and we were worried we'd get a letter from the homeowner's association....Now what to do with this space...it's not much.

 Jade.....

 her self portrait.....

 Ellie lost another tooth.  This time she was at dance - just jumped up and it fell out.  The first one she lost was by the apples at Costco and the second one was in the swimming pool...maybe she won't ever loose one at home..hee hee.

 Silly little girls!  We were having pizza at Aunt Nat's....

 Thank Uncle Dave for bringing his canopy to the game.  It was much more pleasant having some shade.  Of course, Tarrik was playing on the field with no shade....sorry, Mister Man!

 After the game - Team Meeting. ...

I was coming home after doing some errands in town when a nice cowboy (a real one) stopped me at Brown's barn.  He said they were bringing some cattle down the road and would I mind waiting for a few minutes.  (It was so nice to just be stopped and not be able to do anything about it but wait...hee hee)  In about 20 minutes here they came...the little calves were so CUTE..they were jumping around and playing and having a great time.  There were 5 or 6 cowboys driving them..it really was quite a fun thing.  Although, while I was waiting there I saw something that really took me aback.  I looked over and there was a pick-up with horns....actually it was a pick-up with a 4-wheeler in the back with an elk head positioned on the wheeler so that the horns stuck up above the cab----ggggrrrrooooossss.  ( I told Aunt Lorraine that I was going to strap my Bernina on the hood of the car and drive around...hee hee)

And here is the proof!   This little critter is stealing the strawberries........The only way to beat him at his game is to pick them just a touch green and eat them then and there.....

There's nothing like Taylor Sweet Corn...Big Beautiful ears of sweetness!  These are the scrubs left in the field.  Uncle Roy picked the last of the Lewis's field on Tuesday and shared some with us...YUM!

 Done and Done....23 bags go to the freezer.  This will be great on a cold winter day - Fall does seem to be in the air just a little every once in a while.

 Nat and Jared and the girls have been here this weekend.  Nat's best friend's father passed away and the funeral was held on Saturday.  Sad times for the family and the community.  Brother Dayton was quite young, well liked and so funny!  He will be greatly missed.  The little girls have had a blast catching the grasshoppers - don't ask me why - but, at one time they had 10 of them.  FUN!

 Ellie is going to be 7 next week and it was a great excuse to go to Trapper's for dinner and pie.

This has been a nice week with cloudy and cool afternoons.  We haven't had much rain - only about 1/4" -  but it makes for some beautiful skies and lovely sunsets.   

 Grandpa and Uncle Jared are getting ready for their Utah deer hunt and went out shooting for a little while on Saturday - this is what they found - I don't think I've ever seen one quite this big - yuk - anyway, just say'n.

We finished off the Labor Day Weekend and Sweet Corn Festival with a trip to the Temple with Tarrik,  Tyanne and Jade to do Baptisms.  We had some family names and it was really special for all of us.  

 Tyanne - Volleyball game.  Don't you love those "Crazy Socks" !!

 Jade - Volleyball game.  They really acted like they were having a great time..

of course, it helps when your team is the winner...hee hee...
