She never ceases to amaze me..

I found out today that Ashley's Ag class had a contest to see who had memorized the FFA creed and the two who did the best get to go to the chapter contest, well Ashley wasn,t going to even do it but she had told Hadley Bingham that she would if Hadley got up there and did hers so Hadley got up and finished hers and the teacher (who is amazing by the way) asked if anyone else wanted to do theirs and Ashley just kinda sat back and didnt say anything, so Hadley having the great memory she does lol spoke up and said Ashley is going to do hers, to say the least Ashley wasn't too happy but she had memorized it so she got up and gave it right along with a few more girls too the boys were all chickens in her class i guess hehe but to make a long story short out of the few girls that spoke the creed Ashley was picked one of the two in the class to go to the chapter contest WOOOHOOOOOOO i am impressed, whoever does well at the chapter contest will go to the state one i beleive and i totally beleive in my daughter she can do whatever she puts her mind to do sooo good luck darling ashley and i hope you do well...

WOW! seems like its been a busy week for us i think i have posted 3 times this week... So here she is my new baby she is a 2008 Chrysler Sebring she has 16,000 miles on her and has all the bells and whistles i could ask for, like a sunroof, satelite radio, leather seats not heated though she has a hand free telephone thingy so we can call from the car once we get it programmed she has air bags all over the place her steering wheel telescopes out wich is nice and i love her. ohhh her name is Betsy... we must have test driven 10 cars but when Mark put us in this one we fell in love emmediately the only problem we had then was figuring out which kid i might have to sell to keep her but we worked it out, now i hope we get enough out of the car we totaled to help pay for her. this is the first time in my life i have had a car with that low of miles and newer than 3 yrs old all i can say is wooooohoooooooooo and thank you Brent Brown Chrysler Jeep Dodge ohhh and our buddy Mark Knickerbocker he's the best

the Turkey sale

Finally the night has come Ashley finally got to sell her turkeys after working to get them as big as she could she ended up getting the award for the biggest Tom at the sale, she received a plaque and her turkeys sold for a darn good price 105.00 and 100.00 per bird and then grandpa gave her a boost wich was nice of him anyway the tom that she got the plaque for was 35lbs and then she also sold her 33lb one too and the buyer gave it back to her so looks like i am gonna have to cook a bird eventually.

Our Car After The Crash On I-15 In Provo

Ok i know i haven't posted in a while and this isn't a good reason to post but i wanted to show you what happens when a BYU fan isnt payin attention and plows into the back of your car as you can see by looking at mine it pretty much totals the car, however we did come out with only some whiplash and bruises so we are very lucky now we just need to get a new car to replace it...

mom this is for you lol

I wanted to update you all on the turkeys since i havent in a while
we have 4 weeks left till processing (ewww) and as you can see they have come a long way from the little bitty things we started with in the earlier posts, i wanted to get pics of the toms when they werent all defensive but everytime i open the door to get pics they puff up to protect the hens so i guess you really cant tell how big they are by the pics but trust me they're HUGE and very majestic too if i do say so myself, they are ready to eat right now but we have to wait till the FFA turkey auction wich is on the 25th of november so we send em to processing on the 20th. I hope Ashley does as good this yr at the sale as she usually does but we'll see, we have to get alot of people there first.
