Wolverine Homecoming

Homecoming Week is a big event for our little town. The kids have activities all week at school. Friday is the big day with a coronation ceremony of the king and queen. Michael was on the court. Then they have a parade through town with all the teams, classes, band, and royalty. The grade school kids (dressed in red and white) line up and the teams jump off the floats and give them high fives. A pep assembly is held at the football field. That night is the homecoming football game with festivites. Football players can't be in the half time thing,so we had Bennett wear Michael's number and take his place that night. He got to sit on a cool car!

So You Think You Can Dance...

Wellll...we hope there are some other fans of "So You Think You Can Dance" out there. We got to go to the Live Tour to see the Top 10 contestants in Miami last night. (There are some perks of living down here!) It was soooo fuuuuun! We watched the entire season (for those of you that aren't famliar, it's like American Idol, but with dancing) and we were really rooting for the 4 LDS contestants in the competition--Benji, his cousin Heidi, Jamez, and Allison. The returned missionary, Benji, won the competition!! After the amazing 3 hour concert, we were walking to our car, and heard a big roar in the crowd--the top 10 came out to sign autographs, and we got to talk with each of them, and got pictures with ALL 10 of them!!!!!! So we thought we'd share...
These are the 4 Lds kids.

Introducing My Fiance- Annie M. Barker/Bodily (Isn't she beautiful?)

Dearest Bodily Family!

Well, it's finally official. The cute girl you've been seeing at all our family get togethers is finally going to be part of the family! It took me awhile to convince her, but I finally got her and I consider myself the luckiest guy ever! I asked her today. As she was walking back from her class in the Hinckley building on campus I had previously rounded up 12 people who Annie didn't know and had them stationed in between the Hinckley and the Library (where I knew Annie would be going after class) with a rose each. As she made her way down from the Hinckley building she was recieving roses from random people. When she made it to the library, the last person to give her a rose also blindfolded her. I then came and got her and took her to my truck where we drove out to Beaver Dick Park and I knelt down and made it official. And she even said yes! I also made a film on my computer of the two of us and showed it to her after. The weather was perfect and it was just great! I'm on cloud 9. So we are getting married in the Bountiful Temple on December 27th. I'll be sending official invitations to you all. I'm the LUCKIEST ever!! Sure love you all.

We started off with Senior Powder Puff football with the two cutest cousins I know.

The Juniors and Seniors played each other and the juniors got totally wiped out by the Seniors. It was fun to watch.



We had our annual trip to Yellowstone, we actually got to stay in our friends family cabin in Island Park, and then we drove into Yellowstone for the day. Our goal was to see Bears and to take our family pictures, since they will be the last ones for awhile.
As you can see, we took our family pictures and also got a great close up shot of a grizzly. We also got to see a momma black bear and her two cubs, but for some reason, I am only allowed to put five pictures on this blog at a time. How do you guys put more than that on???? We could bore you to death with our Yellowstone pictures, heehee.

We had a great time, we watched home videos and munched out. We had some fun laughs at how silly these kids used to be, actually, they still are, only different.

Well, I better go.

Here I am doing some peachy canning but look what turned up in the peaches!! The only thing that saved the chicken was I couldn't get him completely in the bottle. So expect to see him from time to time. He is not gone yet.
