For as long as we have lived here (approaching nine years, can you believe it!) Mountain Shadows has had their annual 4th grade egg drop. Basically the students need to design a vessel that will protect an uncooked egg when thrown off of the school's roof. Tim used some heavy duty eggshell foam, then put it in a shoebox, then wrapped it with tape. As you can see, he is upset that I am taking his picture, again!
Here is his class waiting for their turn

Who Was the First Female Actor?
Margaret Hughes may have been the first professional actress in England. The occasion of her first performance was on 8 December 1660, in a production of Shakespeare's play Othello, when she played the role of Desdemona in a production by Thomas Killigrew's new King's Company at their Vere Street theatre.

Tim's Birthday
Tim had his 10th birthday on the 20th. Terry's brother-in-law Jeremy also has a birthday on that day. My brother-in-law (Coop) shares that day as well. September 20th is a busy day for our family! Anyway, Peama invited us over for a Mexican dinner to celebrate the birthdays.
Here is Tim, his usual smiley self :) with his cake.

It was a fun day, and can Peama cook!! Went home needing a wheelbarrow that day. Best part is we got to take some home. Thank you everyone for the party, fun, gifts and visiting. Oh, p.s., Steven and I had a great pic that Terry took, but it might be offensive to some. If you want to see, it, email me and I will send it. It is a great photo of daughter/father-in-law bonding!

Crazy Hair Day!
Last Friday was crazy hair day. It was also spirit day. I had forgotten until Topher came downstairs wearing his Mountain Shadows shirt and his Mountain Shadows hoodie. He comes and says, "Okay mom, lets do my hair." I said, "Oh yeah, it is crazy hair day." So he says, "And spirit day!" With the attitude. I have taught him so well. Here is what Topher looked like. I tried to talk Tim into the Sanjaya look, but he wouldn't do it. Then he wouldn't do crazy hair at all. He is no fun! For those of you who have been on another planet and don't know who Sanjaya is, he was an American Idol contestant who wore seven ponytails in his hair to create a mohawk. Points for originality at least!

Last Boating/Camping Trip of the Year
Over the Labor Day Weekend, we took our last "warm weather" camping trip, i.e. the last time the boats go out. (Don't worry, plenty of time left for the Dunes!) We stayed for four days and three nights. These pics are of just one of the nights. We had a blast!
Here are the kids eating s'mores. Dave and Lisa also brought stuff so we could make "doughboys". Oh yeah, they are good!
Terry and Keesha
Livia likes them too!

Red Butte Garden
Wow, what a crazy couple weeks I have had! I have a lot to post, so I will start at the beginning.
I went with Topher's class to Red Butte Garden on September 3rd. That is a really cool place. I want everyone to know that I was only the cinematographer on this trip. All pictures were ordered by my budding director Topher!
