Mom and a cat!!

No, your eyes do not deceive you! It is Linda aka Mom holding a cat. We had a little scare on the first day of her visit. Daisy got outside and looked to never be coming home. I was so upset because I didn't want to tell the boy's Daisy was gone and my mom was upset because I was so upset. Sure enough, the next morning Daisy returned. We were all relieved, especially mom!

Washing the car with Papoo

My parents were in Utah for a great visit with us and the kids. We were able to enjoy so many great activities. Simple things like washing the car is more fun when Papoo and toots are around. Joe and Alec washed away and all of our cars have never been cleaner. Mom, Dad and I went to lunch everyday and relaxed every evening. My dad helped John and I catch up on all our unfinished projects--he is so handy!! The weather was beautiful and we all had a great time. I didn't want to see them go.

Football Days!!

Hillcrest Football games

Alec's first pre-season game against Riverton. He has been practicing so hard for the last couple of weeks and now it is finally game time. He is a little nervous, but I would have to say nothing in comparison to his parents. He played hard and learned alot more about football.

Duffy's wins Title

A late post, but a good one!! With a late season rally lead by the great play of Nick Powell. Duffy's co-ed softball team came back to win the championship title. It was a great season lead by our core value of honor to the Duffy's code--Drink lots of beer (preferably during and after-- it was the before stuff that got us into the lower bracket) and have a good time! Thanks to everyone for making it a great year and to Duffy's in helping sponsor the team!
