I have a three year old

Thursday was Weston's birthday. This year was a horse theme, so I attempted a horse cake. I found the idea at cakecentral.com and was happy with how it turned out in the end. Weston had so much fun getting horse things and even a farmer's hat! Thanks Mom and Dad for the presents. I got my vinyl machine back on Wednesday, so I'll be sending the Zirker logo's out next week. Erik and Jamie I'll send you a chunker that we painted at the reunion for your logo. Seth starts school next week. Lots of our friends have moved out but we've had some new ones move in recently, I'm excited for our girl's nights with new faces!!! Take care everyone.

Kori's B-day

We can't forget little Kori! She turned 1 on Friday. As is tradition, we made a little chocolate cake and let her stuff her face. Thanks Mom (and Dad) for the PJ's and fun books.

Kennecott Copper Mine

Dad just posted the hightlights of the reunion, so I thought that I would post some of our trip to the copper mine. Man is that one big hole! There are two man made objects visible from space- the Great Wall of China and this copper mine. I could have stayed there forever, just watching all the trucks running around.

As has been metioned earlier, the reunion went by way too fast! We had a great time. It was fun to hang out with everyone and catch up. I also think the shirts look pretty slick- nice design Kevin. Thanks to Mom and Dad for all their hard work. We need to do it again in a year or two.

Big Eddy - lots of good memories

I hope you will bear with me but I just couldn't choose just one or two pictures. I tried to get one from each activity. I pretty well have them organized and the bad ones deleted so this week I'll try to burn you each a disc. Grandpa is bugging me to send him some too.

We had a wonderful time. Several of you have said how fast the time went by and we all had to get back to work. I guess that's what happens when you are having fun. We hope Travis and Kelly arrive home safely and their house is still standing. Thanks for your hospitality and we hope your downstairs neighbors are still speaking to you.

Erik, Jamie and family, we missed you and wished you could have been there. We'll try again next time (in a couple of years).

We have been busy since we got home. Work has had it's ups and downs and the hot weather really hit. It is about 102 degrees right now. Just as our church was letting out all the power in that part of town went off. The last two wards were meeting by the light of the emergency lights. In the middle of my PPI with the stake president the lights and air conditioning came back on. Don't know what happened, maybe just an overload with everyone running air conditioning.

Mom should finish the write-up for her masters this week. I'm sure she'll be glad when its over.

We are going to Warden Friday afternoon to Sunday to my 40th class reunion. We start at the Coral Cafe and then to Wild Bill's Drive-in. We finish up at Potholes and then a linger-longer at the Warden City Park. I'm looking forward to it. I am trying to convince my friend whom I haven't seen in 40 years to attend. I think he might be there.

That's about it for now.

I'll get the pictures out ASAP.

Nice Shirts

Our neighbors all commented on our cool red Zirker shirts as we posed for a family picture in the front yard. Hallee, Trent and Korbin all wore their shirts the next day. We like how they have everyone names on them, with the Zirker in a circle.

Hope that the reunion was fun.
