Congratulations to Aaron and Niki Michael on the birth of their son Paxton Lee on August 28th. He weighed 7 lbs and 12 ozs and was 21 inches long. He has two older sisters, Hallie and Emma, who are big helpers to Mom.

Our county fair was really fun. Pie demonstration by Amanda, crafts and homemade ice cream. Decorations were festive thanks to Corliss Jarvis. The ice cream was a dream so thanks to Lisa. Thank you to all the sisters that made pie. The crafts were top rate and everyone won a blue ribbon. It's so much fun getting to know other sides to the sisters. Hope to see all of you at our next get together.

Chocolate Appreciation

Well I have always had a great appreciation for the power of chocolate, but now the power of chocolate has taken new heights. The wonderful chocolate recipes that were brought and tried took the saying "death by chocolate" to a new meaning. I know now that that is the way I want to go, a brownie in each hand and a chocolate dipped strawberry in my mouth. Oh yeah. I am not alone in my feelings because we had an awesome turn out. We even had a couple of strays from the stake, and we hope they indulged too. Thanks to everybody who brought their wonderful chocolate dishes and recipes. It was a very delicious night.

Bundle of Joy

Congratulations to Colton and Emmalee Williams, on the birth of their beautiful daughter Addalee. Their little bundle of joy was 6 lbs 10 ozs and 18 1/2 inches long.

Do not come between a woman and her Purse

Wednesday night May 5th was a real fun party. All the women had to have their purse's weighed. I thought for sure mine would be the heaviest because everybody in my family have told me I have everything but the kitchen sink in it. My purse did not even come close to the winning purse, mine weighed in at 2 pounds. Kaye Stewart's weighed in as a bouncy baby of 10 pounds. I would think twice before insulting Kaye when she was holding her purse. Lisa Dunn came close with 6 pounds, and if you want to see everything but the kitchen sink Kristen Prior's purse had real odd and scary things in it. They always tell you to watch out for the quiet ones.
The menu was Taco Salad with fried ice cream for desseret. Marietta, Irene and Kim did an awesome job on that. The table decorations were so cute and that was thanks to Daurie Kendell.
Michelle and Haley were in charge of the games and they were a blast. Thanks to everyone for their hard work. And thanks to the rest of you for coming and playing.
