Balloon Animal for PJ

The other day I picked PJ up over at Trey's house. To my dismay, they had been to the Dollar Store and bought some long thin balloons. They were impossible to blow up unless you used the pump which didn't work either. Anyway, while we were waiting for Nana to get finished in Hobby Lobby, PJ wanted me to make him an animal. Like any good Papa, I did what I could to make him happy. My first and only balloon animal!

Kohan Keep-away

Last Monday was JoAnn's birthday and we had dinner over at Senta and Burke's house. While we were there, JoAnn and PJ played keep-away from Kohan. Hardly seems fair. Kohan was a good sport about though.

Kohan and Mud

When Kohan comes over, we have to be careful if the back door is open. He runs out, climbs down for the stairs and heads for the chicken coop where he likes to play in you know what. If we have irrigated recently, there will be mud in the shallow ditch on the way to the coop. That is about the only thing that slows him down.

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy

I just found out that my all time favorite book will be made into another movie. I say another because back in the 1970s, it was a mini series on British TV, widely acclaimed as the best movie from a book ever. If you don't believe me, click on this link to read an informative article. To see the trailer click here. If you haven't read the book, you should certainly think about doing so. Soon.

Ophir

When Richie was home in June, JoAnn wanted to take a road trip with to someplace where we could go rockhounding. Ophir seemed like a good place so away we went. We stopped at the Camp Floyd State Park (where PJ and JoAnn made friends with a goat, went to Ophir (where we collected some interesting rocks which are full of fool's gold), and then drove through Tooele, around through Magna and home.
