Overheard conversation between Drew and his new friend Anna while at school.
Drew: Anna, do you smoke?
Anna: What’s smoke?
Drew: It’s a stick. You buy at the store, and it has flames and fire and you put it in your mouth. You suck on it. It makes your lungs turn black. Then you die.
Anna: Oh! Why would anyone want to do that?

USU football season has started again. Not that I have too many pictures of the football season, but I have some of my favorites. This was the white out game, FYI.
He’s unhappy with the refs.
Big Blue is our favorite.
So, this last little while I haven’t felt like getting out my “big camera”. There is no way Hank will sit still for a picture and Drew has been so busy (me too). A few weeks ago, I got to go to a photography conference that was in Salt Lake City. I forgot how much I love to play with my camera. Sheesh… I’ve got to get that thing out again. I’m gonna try.
So, when I put my SD card in my computer, I saw a whole bunch of pictures like this. Just to give you an idea, I took this picture when my sister Lori was visiting back in July. Sigh. I forgot about them.
Anyway, here’s what I learned at my conference.
(my friend Lisa who went to the conference too, we missed you Teri)
Not that this means anything to you, but it reminds me of how much I love to play with my camera (and how much practice I need).
Since I am so far behind in my “journaling” I am going to have to do a marathon post. Sorry for all the pictures in no particular order. Hold on…

We took our last big trip to Montana last week. I guess the summer season is almost over.
We started out taking a day trip to Virginia City. We had fun exploring the old buildings, looking for garnets at Ruby Reservoir and riding the train to Nevada City.
After that, we did some playing at the cabin with cousins.
The saga of the cowboy boots. First, we bought the boots, then we played in the boots. Last, we took a bike ride in the boots, where the boots and the little boy foot got stuck in the spokes of the bike tire. The foot survived, the boots didn’t.
Needless to say, we had to buy another pair of boots.
Then we took a trip to Jackson to visit our buddies, the Darnells. We haven’t been to Jackson in a long time and it was fun. Mary and the girls definitely showed us a good time!
Back to the cabin after that where we enjoyed the dirt, dole whips at the Playmill Theatre, mining for gold up the creek, the sand box, and friends!
