A dive, a face plant, and a swim in the creek!

It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon at our cabin. We all decided that we needed to have a family outing and enjoy the great outdoors together. I dressed Jory John in about 5 layers of clothing and stuffed him in the backpack. Rhett got Boone hooked to the harness with the sled for Jett and Sawyer. We headed down the trail with smiles on our faces. It was great to get out and feel that fresh air! Sue and her boys led the way. Not to far down the trail Boone spotted the little creek. He was heading straight for the creek and we all saw it coming. We all shouted "No Boone, NO!!" Rhett skiied for all he was worth and dove for the sled. Jett luckily saw what was a comin' and bailed off the sled just in the nick of time. Sawyer wasn't so lucky. He ended up right in the middle of the creek. Rhett's heroic efforts to catch the sled unfortunately did nothing but dump Jory John head first into a pile of snow.
And thus ended our wonderful family outing!
These chain of events happened quickly, but will always be remembered!

An Aggie in the making!

I do not believe in any sort of brainwashing or bribery of any kind with my children. So when I teach my kids the Aggie fight song and take them to an Aggie basketball game, that is in no way
brainwashing my child. Go Aggies, Go Aggies, HEY HEY HEY!!!




And in no way did my Father ever try to persuade me to attend USU. The countless tailgating parties and sitting through football games come rain or shine for a team that rarely won a game, well that was just true team spirit! Wait a minute . . . . . . . .
Well my Dad did end up with a 50% success rate. I might as well give it a shot!
