Dust Storm

There was a dust storm that came by the farm today and it kind of a freak thing.  The wind was blowing so hard you couldn't even see anything and then when it finally settled down we drove around to see if it did anything and it sure did.  It blew off part of the shed but thankfully it didn't do much to the turkeys or hurt them.  It's pretty sad when this is the most exciting thing that happens here.

Costco's Adventures

I just want you all to know that I went shopping at Costco for girls camp all by myself.  So, I'm loading the cart up and as things are beginning to pile up I have someone ask, You going to Lake Powell?" No, but I wish all this food was for Lake Powell! Then probably about a half an hour later, I have someone say, That sure is a lot of food there!"  Like what is that suppose to mean?  Do I not look old enough to have some growing teenage boys that eat a ton?!  Maybe one day, but I sure hope I don't regularly spend that much money on groceries when my kids are growing up because that was a lot of money! I get out to my car and unload everything and figure I better just check my list.  Good thing I did because I forgot four things on it so I had to go back in!  What a tiring trip to the grocery store though!  It is tough work to go shopping especially for so many girls but I'm excited for camp!

Tiffany's Wedding

Another cousin of Colton's got married today in the Manti temple.  I am so blessed and grateful for the opportunity that Colton and I have from deciding to go to the temple.  I am so happy for you, Matt and Tiffany!  Their big day turned out wonderful and I got to experience Price, UT for the first time ever!  Colton says it is the armpit of Utah but I don't know why because I liked it there!

Congratulations!

Turkeys!

Today Colton's dad got new turkeys and the church farm where Colton works.  I guess it was quite a process in getting them here.  The company usually gets turkeys from a hatchery in California but the trailers broke down so they sent some turkeys from Iowa.  When the trucks got there they started pulling the crates out and there were dead ones in the majority of the crates.  I didn't even know the turkeys came in crates that were just stacked one one another, so I learned something new! As everyone was pulling the crates out they pulled out they few that were alive and put the dead ones aside.  It was really interesting to see how everything worked and how fast they all were.  So, Colton's dad didn't end up with as many as he was suppose and the church farm wasn't even close to their numbers so they had to have another truck come. Hopefully things go a little bit better next time!
