Froggy Photos

While mom and dad went to pick up Sister Crandall from her mission, Deseret and Clay stayed for us for a few days.  Towards the end of the week, we headed to Chesterfield to await her arrival, and get things set up for a family dinner after her homecoming report.

Who knew taking pictures of frogs could be such fun?!  And that they'd be such great models?!  Before we EVER got into my parents' home after a 2 hour drive, Tanner and Taylor found these cute little pets on the lawn and boy, were they ever entertained!!!  For an awesome ENTIRE AFTERNOON!

Even I got brave, and put some gloves on....
check out my mad-one-handed camera skills! 

Oh...and we upgraded the seat belt situation.  It was just easier with
two extra bodies and a family trip coming up...
plus, I was getting SO DRAINED from all the fighting in the
back seat of the Tarus.  We're LOVING the upgrade! 

As the afternoon wore on, Clay and I decided to get productive and hung this GIGANTIC sign up....we just paint over each person's name as they come home from their mission....that tarp is probably 12 feet up in the air...Clay was a good sport and held onto the ladder while I climbed to the tipy-top to tie off the tarp.

The boys and I decided to join uncle Clay while he did chores....starting the pump that starts the pivot.

Just to show how buff my brother is, and that nasty storm that rolled in over
the course of 7 minutes....it sure was a nasty-dusty mess!!

Can't wait for Stephanie to get home!!!
