Homecoming '08

I don't know if I will recover for awhile from my first full week of Homecoming at Connell High School. 5 full days of chaos and they call this "high" school. You can see from the picture though that the "Lyle Taylor Cut Contest" at Christmas is going to be a pretty exciting event as the rest of you try to compete with "Captain America". The Ninja Turtles were just stand in though and not the real ones. I did win best dressed among the staff with this stylish costume. The one thing that I did like about it was that I didn't have to worry about looking good.

All the pumpkins are gone out of the garden and the water is on it's last move. Another summer has come and gone. What a summer it has been, too. We are on our way to a wonderful season ahead as we look forward to the Holidays with everybody home and Haley getting married. It doesn't get any better than this. Happy Halloween!

New Voter

This is Blaire on her 18th birthday.

Pumpkin Time

Fall has finally come to the Basin and the days are definitely getting shorter and cooler. We have 4th cutting hay laying in the field after it got rained on. The Hales have been out harvesting pumpkins and this picture says it all. Did you ever imagine so many different varieties? The big one that Blaire is on weighs about 120 pounds. Zeus doesn't weigh that much but he is bulking up for the Lyle Taylor "Cut" contest at Christmas. Blaire turned 18 today, wow! She's already registered to vote. What a poor election to have to begin your voting career in. We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of the little Wells boy in Rexburg. The two big Wells boys will need to take care of him, as well as his mama.
