A LiTtLe BiT oF tHiS aNd A lItTlE bIt Of ThAt

This week contained a mishmash of events.

F.D. Craig flew to LV for his last meeting for the NV Board of Veterinarians.

They gave him a cool NV plaque and a gavel.

(As president of the board, he had previously just used that little doctor thing that they bonk your knees with as a gavel.)

This is a random pic of N8 and Chels up for Seminary and eating breakfast.
They do not appreciate photographs in the morning.
(Can you believe how dark it is outside???)

Craig has been spending a lot of time out in Smith Creek, vacinnating, preg-checking, t.b. testing, floating horses' teeth, spaying--you name it.
He drove out early Thursday morning and didn't make it back until Saturday afternoon.
He had to venture out there again today after attending an early Church Sacrament meeting.
He'll be there until tomorrow morning and then hurry back for an 11:30 appointment.
(The "ox was in the mire".)
He's been a busy man.
No pictures of the current event here.  This is actually a picture of the Bug in 2003 helping his father at the ranch.  (He was 6.)

The kids ran ROP this week.
'Yep, that's "Rite of Passage"--the juvenile delinquint school.
I accidentally deleted a bunch of pictures.
This is my only one of N8.
(Look at the green runner, then behind him at the white and blue runner, and then once more at the head with the black sweatband--that's him!
(He placed 27th. out of 104.)

Here's Chels running with the Varsity girls.

'Rounding one of the last bends....

And into the home stretch!
(Chels placed 23rd. out of 49.)

Stake Primary Leadership was Friday.
Our theme?  "Easy as Pie!"
Hence, we needed a pie...or 6.
How about a sour cream lemon?

Or a cookie pizza "pie" (for those who don't like pie.)

Maybe a carmel apple pecan?
(There was pumpkin, fresh peach, and tart cherry too.)

Last, but not least...
it's Primary Sacrament Program time.
We've attended 5 in the last 2 weeks.
They've been oh-so-very good!
This is a giant CTR toothbrush to remind our Primary children to read their scriptures for 2 minutes each and every day.
(If you're wondering what a toothbrush has anything to do with reading the scriptures every day, just ask, and I'll let you know.)
