The deck is completed!
Les and I laid the patio, built the deck and three sets of stairs, built the pergola, stained it all, and planted and mulched. I was on the nail gun and he was on the saw. It was a great project, but it sure is nice just to enjoy it now.

Grant's Favorite Sport
Grant plays fall and spring baseball. We did 2 games and a practice every week for the month of September. It was crazy, but he loves it. He has been with the same team for 3 years. Both of his coaches played for NC State. They are great coaches. Last year, we won the championship. This year, we made it to the last game before the championship. Grant plays center field. He has quite an arm.
Girls Camp 2008
Here are a few shots from Girls Camp this year. I am the Stake YW Camp Director. (It was only one night because they did the Trek this summer.) My great friends Liz Brown and Laura Alvarez (Stake YW Pres) and I decided to do a pyramid. Liz didn't want to because she's always on the bottom (she's 5'10"). Fine, Liz, be on the top! Other items worthy of noting, the girls were drawing on their faces and I let them color mine as well. I told them I did used to do that in college (right Ingrid?), but then you had to kidnap someone using a bathroom appliance as a weapon (bathroom only). I think I need to find that picture and post it.
I am posting this stuff, because sometimes I feel like we only post stuff about our kids (or cats, as the case may be) and I always want to also see what the "posters" are up to.

The Zoo (not BYU)
During track out, we went to the Zoo with our friends, the Marcellinos. As usual, we go with our trusty 4-wheel drive wagon, to carry all things possible, including, sometimes Mommy or Daddy when needed. Evan loved the animals, but was most interested in the train/shuttle. Of course. You'll notice that Les is finally pictured in his true character, zoo keeper of our family (of mostly monkeys).
The FAIR!!!
We love the North Carolina State Fair! It has been a long time tradition in our family. Besides enjoying the rides, feeding, petting and milking the livestock, perusing the crafts and gardens, enriching our minds from the truly southern culture, we really go for the FOOD! Can't you tell? You always must have a funnel cake, a turkey leg, roasted corn on the cob, cotton candy, NC State Dairy ice cream, a fresh Mount Olive pickel, a cold glass of milk, a sampling of fudge and a caramel apple with nuts. (We preloaded the Mylanta.) Fun was had by all.
