Legs of Onions

This is how I store my onions--tied in nylons so they stay dry and if one goes bad, the others stay good. I ended up with about 5 1/2 "legs" of onions.

Labor Day Swim

More Baptism

Got pics from the family.

Thanksgiving Swim

I got pics from my mom, I think these were from last Thanksgiving.

The Best Weekend Ever

Over Labor Day we went down to St George to visit family. After a 4 hour trip that took 6 hours, we were thrilled to stay home with Jacob while Adam went with cousins for what he called "The Best Weekend Ever."

They began at the Iron County Fair:

Riding rides! 

Petting the animals

and (not pictured) eating lots of delicious, expensive, and unhealthy fair food.

Next came the rodeo. They let the kids go into the middle and let loose a pig. Whoever catches it wins a prize (or just the glory). Simon (white t-shirt) almost caught the pig. 

The next day, they headed to the mountains:

What could be better than no seat belts?

Standing up!

 And here are the ones responsible for all this fun! Zach and Kate!

 

I'm A Guy

Jacob came into me and announced, "I'm a guy."

You see, we have dress ups, including spider man, green lantern, etc. and when you put on a mask or glasses, you are dressing up as a super hero, or as Jacob puts it, "a guy."

More swimming videos

Jacob before swimming lessons. Notice, no fear, no skills: Here is Jacob after 9 swimming lessons:

New Favorite Thing

I got this new drying rack at Costco this spring. Needless to say, I LOVE IT! It can hang nearly all the clothes I line dry. You can't see the top bar, just the bottom of a shirt, but you can put clothes on hangers all along that as well (which I do, when I'm hanging them to put them away). 

Not bad for 20 bucks.

Jacob the Swimmer

So here is Jacob after 8 swimming lessons. He starts at the far side of the pool and swims toward the camera.
