Bishop

Josh was called as the bishop of the Tooele Third Ward on Sunday.
I am so proud of him. The ward was very supporting. The old bishopric has left big shoes to fill.
Here is Josh and his counselors, Chas Walgamott and Tsmeu Mamo.

Chicks

Some of you may remember that we have a broody hen - Midnight. That means she wants to sit on eggs and have babies. Well, we got some fertilized eggs from our Lego-friend Celeste and I marked 21 days later on the calendar. Which was today. And when Ashley RAN inside this morning while Michael and I were eating our eggs yelling "There is a CHICK" it was like God had rained manna from heaven.
We all RAN out and sure enough, there under a VERY poofy (she poofs out to better provide warmth for the chicks/eggs) was a little grey wet chick. I think Ashley peed her pants.
I can't believe she went off to school, but she did. Since then I have been out and ANOTHER chick is hatching. Midnight is doing a good job- pushing the eggs around and giving a motherly peck on the emerging chick. I am SURE more information will follow.

Ashley's passion project

So to get to know each other in Fifth grade, you do a small presentation at the beginning telling about something you are passionate about - guess what Ashley picked!
Some pictures from her power point presentation.

Eclipse

Then, Monday, was the actual eclipse.
Here are a TON of pics - is was SO cool. I think I teared up a bit. I would DEFINATELY travel to another one, and the seven hour drive home was worth it. I am just glad we really had packed a lot of extra food and water.

Other pics

And here are some other pics I found on the camera. If you have already seen them, enjoy the second time!
