Harper Homecoming 2021...

We were all excited when Brady told us he was voted the Sophomore Homecoming Prince.

Back Row L-R: Senior, Rudy Gonzales; Junior, Ryan Talbot; Sophomore, Brady Talbot; and Freshman, Brocc Rictor.  Front Row L-R:  Senior, Elena Fenn; Junior, Sierra Dobson; Sophomore, Bennett Johnson; and Freshman, Kylie McGarvey.

I was happy I got to out and take pictures.  We were all shocked when we saw Bennett's dress because these two did not even plan their outfits.  They couldn't have matched any better if they had tried.

Ryan didn't bring out any dress clothes so he found this fur coat from the drama dress-up box. haha!

Tacky Tourist

I thought Brady looked so good the two days that he dressed up.

60's 

Saturday we went out to a bomb fire at the school.  They had games, hamburgers, and s'mores stuff.  It was fun and it was great to see Brady hanging out with the other kids.  We were glad we went even though Scott and I were so tired.  I woke up and ran a 5K then Brady and I and helped clean the church then we helped layout bark at grandma Joan's house.  I then made two desserts for Mother's Day and helped plant flowers at Mom's.  She gave me flowers for my barrels too so then I planted them.  On my Apple Watch, it said I burned 891 calories, exercised 41 minutes (32 minutes was the 5K), stood 17/12 hours (zero idle hours).  This totaled 18,801 steps or 9 miles...crazy!

One Year Since We Lost Aunt Shelley...

I can't believe Shelley isn't with us anymore and that it has already been a year since she passed.  All of her family got together at the Owyhee church and had a picnic.  Mom and Dad went down and helped them set off some lanterns.  I'm so glad Annie was able to come too so they could all be together.  We sure miss her and love her and this family!

 

New Car...

About a month or two ago Scott saw this car for sale for $31k then they dropped the price to 27K and he was tempted.  However, when they lowered it again to $25,200 he couldn't resist any longer.   So Scott and Zac made the trip to Bend to buy this 2017 BMW 330I M Sport X-Drive.  They were both pretty excited.  I think it has been over 20 years that Scott has been wanting a BMW and now he got one and this one is loaded.  I've never seen such a high-tech car.  

I love the interior color.

I'm really happy for Scott, I just wish it was about four months later when our Camry lease is done.  Oh well, you have to jump on the deals when they come up.  The credit union told us they could have lent $39 on it so we feel pretty good about the deal we are getting.  It was so nice of Zac to spend the day with Scott and drive him over.

 

Teniele and Rusty Stubbs Engagement...

Thursday the 22nd Rusty Stubbs came to visit for the first time.  I was sooo shocked when mom called after the track meet to tell me that Teniele was engaged.  I am so happy for her.   They are cute together and he seems to fit right in with the family.  They are talking about getting married on August 3rd.  

Rusty stayed until Monday.  Friday night they made us some yummy Navajo tacos.  That was a first for me and I really liked them.  Sunday we all had a good visit.  Rusty and Scott seem to have a lot in common which is pretty cool.

 

Track...

Yesterday I went to watch Lindsay get first in the long jump with a crazy 15 feet jump.  She got second in the high jump with 4 feet 4 inches jump and 4th in the pole vault with a six-foot jump.  She also ran in the 4x100 relay and they got 5th.  She did so well for her first middle school track meet and only a sixth-grader.

Today I went to watch Ryan.  He got first in the 110 hurdles but it wasn't his fastest time.  I think she best time is 15.10.  

We then watched him jump in the pole vault.  That is so exciting/scary to watch and he did so well.  He broke the Harper record with 13' 1" last week and then today he broke his own record with a jump of 14 feet.  He tried for the state 1A record of 14' 7" and was so close but didn't quite make it.  That was so fun!  We are so proud of Ryan and Lindsay!

I can't believe Brady is almost as tall as Ryan now.

 

Lake Owyhee...

Sunday the three of us decided to drive up the lake.  We were surprised by how low the water level was.  I guess we shouldn't have been, because it has been such a dry, cold, and windy spring. 

This was a new sign since we have been here last.

We love our Sunday drives.

 

Brandon's 27th Birthday...

After work on Friday the 9th I went to pick up Brandon for the night.  When we got home we had Papa Murphy's pizza with salad and then a celebration cheesecake with all Brandon's grandparents.  Brandon was in such a good mood, I can't believe he will be 27 on Sunday.  I absolutley love all the cute pictures I was able to get of him.

 

I'd say he had a good birthday...

On our way back to his home in Meridian.  

I'm glad we had his party Friday night because Saturday he was starting to get a little more worked up probably because he didn't sleep well.  We watched some movies and he listened to music so it was a good visit.  After we dropped him off we sent to eat at Cafe Rio and then Scott and Brady got their Dutch Bros.
