Snow Bird




We went to Snowbird last weekend and we decided that we were having so much fun that we would stay one more day. Boy am I glad we did. On Monday it snowed that morning. It was so beautiful. I am so glad I took pictures because by the afternoon it was all gone. We also saw the most beautiful bluejays, but everytime I tried to get a picture they would fly off. We stayed at the Iron Blosam lodge. Emily's father in law(Jeff's dad) has a time share for a week. He is German so he always has time during October fest. That is something to see. Lots of beer drinking or I should say beer spilling people. It was way too busy for us to enjoy so we did not spend too much time at the festival.

Tanner with his pig

Here is Tanner with his pig "Calvin". He has shown pigs a couple of times now so he knows what to do. He has always won some sort of prize when showing his pig.

Utah state fair

This is Ashley with her lamb "BO PEEP" I am very proud of her for raising such a good looking lamb. Bo peep was a little on the fat side but Ashley ran with her almost everyday. Most lambs are very stubborn but not Bo Peep she loved being around Ashley so she was easy to handle and work with.
Ashley is a wanna be cowgirl with a preppie side. She found her a hat at the fair on the first day and she did not take it off for nothing.
She got sick of me taking her pick so she rolled her eyes at me and BAM I caught it. Never before have I had proof of the eye rolling.
Here are the little kids with thier new hats. I think Sugar will grow up to be the cutest cowgirl.


This is the first time Ashley has shown a pig. She did a great job. There are so many other kids in the ring at the same time it was hard for her to get the pig where it need to be. By the way her pigs name is "Chuck Norris" and it is a girl.
