Boss' Day...

It's that time of year again. Here's this year's edition of Boss' Day gifts. They turned out so cute, and can't wait to make some Chrismas ones!

Details are on my scrap blog here.

Potatoes, Potatoes & more Potatoes

So I have seen potatoes, or I had thought I've seen potatoes. But this weeken, I SAW POTATOES!! We went to Idaho this weekend to bring back some potatoes for friends & family. My sister in law Hilary's husband works on a potato farm and we had a chance to buy some potatoes from the farmer. We also got to see how the harvested potatoes are sent on a the conveyor belt right to the cellar. I must say, farming is quite a process!! I never knew there was so much equipment involved. It was fascinating to watch (and some also say that I'm very easily amused).

This is a picture of the conveyor belt that unloads the huge trucks. I couldn't believe how many potatoes (and how fast) they were going by. We were just grabbing them and putting them in the bags. We filled 24 bags in an hour and a half. Look at the size of some of those things!!

And this is a picture of the inside of the cellar where they all dump to. It's literally filled from floor to celing with potatoes.

Hilary's kids are adorable. They had fun helping

Except for this little guy who was all tuckered out...

Needless to say, we had a great time this weekend. We gathered potatoes, and we also visited with family. We took Nate with us and took him swimming at Miracle hot springs. It was his first time there and he loved it. Several of the cousins also came. We also made cards and watched conference. It's always fun & relaxing to take a drive to see the in laws.

Batter Up!

Charley and I started coaching Nate's little league baseball team. As this is Nate's first crack at baseball, we signed him up for the coach's pitch. Fall ball is also pretty limited so we ended up over at Taylorsville recreation. There are only 3 teams and they are very small, with age ranges from Kindergarten to 4th grade.


The kids are great though. Most of them are first time players, but there are a couple kids on the team that have been playing for a while. They all have such a great time and look so cute in their little shirts and hats.

Nate's friend Christian is also playing on the team so it's fun for them to be able to play together. There are only 9 players on the team, so everyone gets a lot of playing time.


Nate has decided that he really likes baseball and would like to continue to play. We'll see what the rest of the season brings!
