Old MacDonald

I have been hearing far too many requests to sing, "ee oo." (which translated means Old MacDonald, ee ii ee ii oo) So we headed off to Farm Country at Thanksgiving Point to experience the real thing. Luckily, Rachel and her guys got to come with us! (Tanner asks to play with Ty many times a day!)


Riding the tractors...


Dancing out of the dance hall...


The three little messpots in Jail!




Riding on the wagon ride!


Ty...



Shawn...



Rachel and cute baby Eli...



Here are some animal pictures... We concluded that the Peahen and Peacock needed some private time.



What a fun time we had! We have had many, many more requests to sing "ee oo," but I guess I brought that on myself!

Jr. High love story

So, Clayton's parents found a "poem" that Clayton wrote in 9th grade. Pretty sure I was crying by the end of it. Imagine a question mark on every line that starts with "My friend."


My Friend says you don't love her

And I say yes I do.

My friend says how do you know

And I say my hear tells me.

My friend says what heart

And I say the heart that holds all of my love for her.

My friend says for life you will love her

And I reply I hope for eternity.

My friend says what if someone better comes along

And I say no one is better

My friend says what if it ends

And I say there will always be a place in my heart for her.

My friend says hope you get her

And I reply I hope also.

My friend says congratulations

And I reply thanks for giving me confidence.

My friend says how's the wife

and I reply looking better than ever.

My friend says I'm sorry for the loss

And I say I will see her again.

My friend says goodbye

And I say thank you for everything.

Now the sad part is Clayton has no idea why he wrote this, he thinks it's to satisfy a english assignment (as you can see he probably failed) but we want to know what girl received this poem. Please tell us if you have ever seen this poem.
PS I hope if you ask Clayton "How's the wife?" he replies, "Looking better than ever!"
