Chris's Crazy Contraption...

My husband had to build this contraption for one of his engineering classes last year, but it didn't do well then, so after a lot of tinkering and changes in the engineering, he and his friend Brian made it into a pumpkin launching crazy machine! with help from Chris's brothers this trebuchet launched a pumpkin over 750 feet! They had a few problems at first, but on game day it worked like a charm. They were the only team that showed up for the Emery County Pumpkin chunkin party, but nobody could have beat them anyway. Their machine launched pumpkins farther than it had counter weight on it, and that is outrageous and crazy!!! GOOD JOB BOYS!!!

Halloween Party!!!

this year was really fun except I got sick the day before the party so grandma laurie was nice and had it at her house.

Halloween 2008. Our 2007 party is still on someone else's computer, but anyway at this party, Grandma Laurie made "witches brew" and it was the hit of the party... i wonder what she will come up with for this year... by the way our party is on Oct. 24 at my house...happy haunting!

Halloween 2006, our 1st year of pumkin carving...Adrie, Sammy, Maddie, and Kade, with Grandpa Kent...

This girl likes dirt...

Adrie has always liked dirt and water, so what is more natural than putting them together. She was having the time of her life at grandpa's house, and she dug a huge hole and made a mud hole right where he had just planted his potatoes...ooops!!! Sorry Grandpa! She was so covered in mud that she ditched her clothes and just played in her underwear...what a mess, but it was so funny!
