End Of August 2010

Grandpa Nelson helped Allie raise a pig for the fair this year. Her name was Roxy. Allie Really enjoyed doing this because she is a total farm girl! Mark Loves it too! Grandpa and Allie posing for a picture! There was a lot of work put into it by Mark, and Allie is so grateful! The kids Love to participate and go to the Fair every year!

Draycin was Wilbur and the lamb was Charlotte's web for the peewee lamb show. Draycin, of course, won an award! Thanks Julie to your genius ideas and designs!

Brenton was a leprechaun and his lamb was the rainbow with a pot of gold at the end! He won an award as well! Both of the boys are really good sports because one was a pink pig and the other had to wear his sisters high heeled shoes with buckles. ha ha!

Allie kept her pig really clean and took really good care of her, and we were all very pleased when she took...

Reserve Grand Champion! That means her hog came in second place out of some 200 pigs. She made $1,100 and also got carcass money ($125) because her pigs carcass had a lot of edible meat and just the right amount of fat. Her pig came in 2nd out of all the pigs as well! Lincoln Financial Advisors - Dusty Roche in Tremonton bought her pig and are pictured with Allie and Roxy above!

Over all it was a great experience for Allie and she can't wait to do it again!

Brenton's baptism!!

We had Brenton's baptism on November 6th, and it was a beautiful day!! The program went so well and I really feel that Brenton has finally grasped baptism and it's importance! It was an overwhelming spiritual experience to see him be baptised. Come along and have a peek at his day! Just look at that handsome little man!

Future missionary!
