Uintah Basin Southern Gospel Choir

Our stake had a day of service and a cultural celebration in correlation with the dedication of the Brigham City Temple. I was in a small woman's choir that sang a gospel number and in the program we were announced as The Uintah Basin Southern Gospel Choir.

Okay it's not going to let me upload the video for some reason so here is the link to youtube.

Music Down in My Soul

I am the second from the left, the conductor keeps stepping in front of me. :)

Ethan's First day of school

Ethan's first day of his second year at headstart. This year he is in the classroom over in Ft. Duchesne at Fourwinds.

First he didn't want his picture taken, then he decided that it was okay as long as I took a picture of his Lightening McQueen backpack.

Camping-Harrison style

We had a family reunion for Michael's grandparents Liz and Ervin Harrison's descendents. We camped above Vernal past the Red Cloud Loop.

We arrived Thursday evening and set up camp. I still didn't get a picture of our camp site.

On Friday the kids did a craft, they painted wooden picture frames, played a few games. Then they gave all the kids squirt guns. Dale got the brunt of the kids water, but they got it right back from him, even from a water bottle.





 Dale was squirting them and all of a sudden he pulls this water bottle out of his pocket and poured it on Annie and Emily.

James and Tigerlily

This is how I occasionally find James, he crawls up onto the changing table and sits in the basket of clothes. This time the cat was with him, if you look close down in the left corner you can see her ears.

14.7 Miles

14.7 total miles. That's what the kids and I walked on Saturday.

Our Stake had a 5 mile fun run/walk around Bottle hollow yesterday. Ammon went for .8 miles and then turned around and went back. Emily, Erica and Ethan went for 2.3 miles each. Aaron and I went for a total of 3.1 before I just gave out. My legs were feeling like jelly before we even climbed the last hill. I pushed through it and made it to the top but knew I wouldn't be able to make the whole 5 miles. I think we did the 3 miles in 2 hours or just a little more.
