New Business Adventure

Over the summer, Mike decided it would be fun to be a food vendor at some of the local carnivals. He sold hamburgers & hot dogs at two carnivals. The first one was a two-day event, and that city decided to sell permits to every single person who applied. Needless to say, it was not worth our time or money to be involved in such an event.

The second one, which was on the 4th of July, Mike was one of 5 main course vendors. He made four times as much money in four hours at that event than he did in the two-day event. He was constantly busy that night. There were lines of people. It was awesome. He's planning on doing it again next year, and perhaps even branching out and doing a couple of more events.

Our kids were pretty excited to eat some of daddy's food.



He also had some great help from our neighbors.

Fun posts Debbie! So fun to see what your family has been up to! Didn't Mike have a stand at the Syracuse Days? We missed it this year, but we will definately have to plan to go next year and try some of his grub!

These photos were taken about a month ago. The snow is now all gone, Yeah! I tried to shovel a path through the snow so the kids could get to the playset to play. When Mason saw what I was doing, he immediatley took over shoveling. He shoveled for at least an hour, piling snow into the grey bucket. If the girls even tried to have a turn, he let them know it was his shovel. I'm sure he felt like he was a backhoe, moving dirt. That is his dream job.

Scotlyn's Birthday Party

Image
Scotlyn's birthday is this coming Thursday, but because her birthday always falls around General Conference time, we try to have her party the week before conference. She has been counting down the days until her party all week. It was a lot of fun, and was so nice to have her party outside this year. Every year on her birthday, the weather has been cold, until this year. This is a picture of her a couple of days ago, when she decided she was going to build a hot air balloon and fly to Salt Lake. She packed a change of clothes in her backpack and took food with her in the box. She also had a few toys with her, but when she was ready to fly, she realized that there was not room for her to sit in the box. She kept saying to me, "Mom, this is really going to work. I'm going to Salt Lake, I'll be back later". It was too cute. She never did make it to Salt Lake, but she didn't seem too disappointed that she didn't fly. I love how at this age, they lo...
