Kids Write the Darndest Things

Last week we went up the "Ranch" in Idaho to do some work on the house (the house my dad grew up in) that my partents will be moving into at some point...maybe in the next year? Anyway, while we were there, we went through some of the random stuff in the rooms and I found the following letter. It was written by my older sister, Anna, when she was 7 (the envelope was dated May 1986). My grandparents had taken me, my younger brother and younger sister to stay with them for a while...I don't remember for how long as I was only 5. But, I do remember going to pre-school while I was there, which Anna references. So, without further delay...here it is!

the humans are dead

the distant future...the year 2011...finally robotic beings rule the world...



we had great fun dressing up as our favorite robots for halloweeeeeeeeeeeeeeen! my favorite part was taking phoebe out. the boxes were so long, it made walking hard, so we looked really funny! oh, it was so great!



it had to be done, so that we could have fun!
this was our inspiration:



i love halloween! we hope you had a great time too, robo friends!!

it's been a while

yeah, so it's been a bit since i last posted anything. i'm pretty sure no one even checks in to see if there is anything new anymore, but if you do then it's your lucky day! not really, i don't have time to write anything. i need to be preparing a lesson for church tomorrow :)

anyway, life has been busy. we bought a house, rocky went to iraq for a year, i've been working from home since we moved back from california, we got a dog (phoebe), we are doing a lot of work on the house and yard, we have six chickens and a garden where we grow ginormous zucchini, i made apricot jam for the first time this year, i was just called as the relief society president for our ward and rocky is the assistant clerk, i broke my foot two weeks ago, rocky is applying to the U for grad school (mba) and will start in january (i have no doubt he will get in), i am so happy to have rocky back, we only have one car now (the truck) but that's ok cause i can't drive anyway, my dad is finally back from afghanistan for good, rocky rocks. that's about it.

come visit, we are finishing up the guest room so you won't have to sleep on the couch!
