Student of the month!!



Jade was chosen to be 4th grade student of the month by her teacher Mrs.Harper because she is very helpful, obedient and on task and so sweet! Way to go Jade!

Peaches



My dad gave me two bushels of peaches Jade thought it was great and helped me put them up, Jade thought it was so fun to pack the jars. She was a great helper and we got a ton of peaches!

Camping







Jade has been asking to go camping for quite a while so we finally got everything together and went for Labor Day weekend. we went up into the High Uinta Mountains. It was very nice weather not too hot and not too cold, (although it did get a bit nippy in the middle of the night). Normally our camping is going up to Grandpa Rays Property in Duchesne but that includes running water and electricty. This was Jade's first experience with camping in a tent. She Loved it!
We also took Sampson, He had a good time( I think)but ever since we have gotten back he doesn't race me to the car anymore, I guess he's afraid we will go camping .... Sheesh take the dog camping one time....
James and Jade made a hammock out of a tarp and they thought that was quite funny. We did the usual things roasted marshmallows, played in the river, and had tinfoil dinners over the campfire.
