The Artist formerly known as Ty

I'm a little light on pictures lately, so I'll include one of Ty's art exhibition from a few weeks ago. Notice the coveted location next to the elevator.

First thing on tomorrow's list is to torch this house! We have had three sick little girls all week. Aimee got sick last friday and finally was well enough that she went to church today. Sure enough when we think things are getting back to normal, Aimee and Katie gag themselves during a coughing fit and throw up again tonight. When will it end??? I'd like you to meet my two new friends- Mr. Resolve and Mrs. Carpet Cleaner!

Les made it through He_ _ Week just barely. Two more days of dress rehersals and some shows this weekend and she is done! She was so tired today that she was like a walking zombie at church. After a two hour nap she is feeling a little better. I ,of course, have been the perfect example of a loving and supporting spouse during the whole ordeal. (Does that sound like something Dad would say or what?) The show is coming together and will turn out fine as it always does, it is just hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel sometimes.

Keep the old pictures coming, I haven't seen most of them before. I especially liked Suspender/Camo man!

Brant

I spent Friday and Saturday in Vernal and Roosevelt (only about 1 hour in Roosevelt) helping a friend with some work. I don't think I had been out to the Basin for 11 years. It was kind of fun to see the names of towns that I recognize from family stories. I must say that Myton isn't much of a town. I think if I knew what I was looking for I could have found G-pa's (or was it G-ma)old house pretty quickly.
The towns looked a little rough because it is the middle of winter but I'll bet the area is pretty with some leaves on the trees and less mud on the trucks. During some of our down time we walked around the temple in Vernal and got to know the Wal-Mart and local sporting goods store pretty well.

We don't have much planned for the week. It's been almost 50 degrees here during the day and the snow is just about gone. Kelly even sat out in the sun on the driveway for an hour yesterday.

Same Old Week

Not much new here. Had a beautiful day yesterday and it is raining today. Tomorrow Mom and I are going to Coeur d'Alene to help Matt and Kimbre move. Naturally, rain is predicted. Kimbre's parents will be there too. We hope a few trips will do it.
Jazz Festival starts Wednesday. Mom go a call last week from Sister Barbara Johnson needing places for BYU Idaho girls to stay. So, we will have two girls staying with us from Wednesday to Saturday. Since it is Jazz Festival we will have rain and snow. It never fails.
I didn't post any pictures on this blog but you can go to the Backlund Cousins and see some of the grand kids and parents. They were taken in front of the temple (Mount Timpanogos I think) when Darren (Joyce's son) got married.
We had a great ward social Friday night. It was the 3rd annual 6th Ward Chili Cook-Off. We had a nice turn out and some great chili.
That's it for tonight. Have a good week.

How we spent our Sabbath day

Today we skipped church to go to a refugee wedding. It was a very cool traditional Hindu ceremony in a small, kind of trashy apartment complex in South Salt Lake.

Next time I get married, I'm totally wearing a sari.
