Eyes to the Sky

 Just living is not enough. One must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower. ~Hans Christian Anderson

Balloon Festival

“Oh! Captive, bound and double-ironed, not to know that ages of incessant labor, by immortal creatures, for this earth, must pass into eternity before the good of which it is susceptible is all developed! Not to know that any Christian spirit working kindly in its little sphere, whatever it may be, will find its mortal life too short for its vast means of usefulness! Not to know that no space of regret can make amends for one life’s opportunities misused!

Boys State 2010

Taking Charge

Talon was elected to city council, county delegate, state delegate, state senator, and other various and extrememly important offices while he was at Boys State which was held at Weber State University. He had a great time and met lots of good kids...some idiots too, but hey, that's life for ya. He received 3 college credit hours, learned about the function of government, and listened to some inspiring talks and speeches by lawyers, judges, military, and other well regarded men. As a bonus, he shook hands and visited with Representative Jason Chaffetez on our way home. All in all it was a fantastic experience for Big-T.

This is a great way to prepare the future for the calibre of leadership we need in our country today.

Vote for Talon!

Talent Night

~My Little Women~

Crafts, books, baking, learning, and growing into lovely young women are goals of these girls.

It was a great year being their mentor and we created lots of special memories.

We went on field trips, gave service in our community, studied about great people in history, performed  a Shakespeare play, travelled the world in 180 days, plus

 had an abundance of laughter and fun.
