For FHE, we went to West for Tana's first game of the season.

Brittana Traveling Basketball

Yesterday Brittana had her tournament in Filer, ID which is 5 miles down the road from where we live. She played two games then had a break before the championship game so they came to visit us. At 8:15 her final game started and we went to watch her. She made 2 points in the game and is a good defensive player. If you win the tournament for that week you get a trophy. Her team has won now two weeks in a row. Here are some pictures.

 Sorry its blurry.

 Mom said she is surprised at how well the girls get along there has not been any issues with cat fighting. 

Yeah! Number 1 two weeks in a row.

Volleyball and Basketball at West

This was in the beginning of September.

When Mom was in NC in November, Tana got her new basketball warm-up jersey

Naomi's Seminary Graduation

We decided to go support Naomi and attend her seminary graduation. I was surprised the Heyburn 2nd Ward had the most graduates from seminary. I tried taking some good pictures but half the time they ended up blurry or the people in them are looking at other cameras but this is what I got.

 

 Dad and Grandma Arlene

 Everyone is looking at a different camera.

I rotated it twice from last year because otherwise we would have had ourselves. So basically whoever had you last year, you know have them. I am not sure if everyone wants to do a limit I think we did $20 last year.

Tree Trimming Time

First off this is Naomi and I have never blogged before, so we will see how this goes. So on Friday April 5th some guy came and chopped down the box elder bug tree. Then he trimmed the one next to it, that has the tire swing on it. Then this past Thursday the 18th Tree Trouble came and trimmed the two that are by the house and got the dead out of the poplar tree. They cleaned up most of the mess, but there are still a trillion sticks on our lawn that I can't wait to pick up in the freezing wind:). Layne said he wanted to see pictures so here they are.

 

 Here is a small portion of the mess that they made.

 You can't really tell from this picture, but they were

pretty successful at destroying some of our bushes.

 The box elder bug tree is gone. Well kinda gone,

 the trunk is still there, obviously.

 Trees . . .

 Trees . . .

 and more trees!

 Here they are hard at work.

 They didn't really trim this one they just took the dead out of it.

 And here we have some popcorn popping on our apricot tree,

I think its pretty so I decided to share it with you.
