July 4th--Let Freedom Ring

Forgive me for a personal aside, but I have lived my life a free man, and most of that life I have been oblivious to the price that has been paid for me. Now, I pray the God of Heaven that He will open the eyes of my children, that they may hold fast to those freedoms which are slipping away. I pray that every person will make this Declaration of Independence anew, that in their own hearts they will declare their independence from every form of tyranny and oppression under the sun, for as it has once been said, when freedom is lost, only blood will buy it back.
Thoughts from Glenn Rawson back in July of 1998

Special Olympics Summer Games 2009

On May 28-30, we went to Special Olympics Summer Games in Provo at BYU. It was lots of fun and the athletes did really well. We even had some special guests. Karen, Scott, Sheri, Robert, Brecklyn, Lucy and Hailey came, and so did Jennifer, Brock, Dalton, Brooklyn and Abbie. It was so much fun to see, and spend time with them.

Jennifer, Brock, Dalton and Abbie went to Logan to watch the move "Up". Brooklyn stayed with us. We had lots of fun with her. We tried to spoil her all we could. She is eating cotton candy in the picture.

Christy's relay team got 1st in the 4 X 100 meter relay



Kevins relay team got 3rd in the 4 X 100 meter relay




Lucy and Brooklyn had lots of fun plalying with each other.




GO FOR THE GOLD
Our soccer team got first in their division, so they got the gold medals. Kevin and Christy both played on the soccer team. They all worked really hard, and was so excited when they won.
A big thanks to all that came to cheer them on.
It made winning all the better. I am not sure which they liked better, winning or having lots of fans to cheer them on.

Guess Which Zoo Animal Is Kali's Favorite




















If you guessed elephant you are right! I went on a field trip with the 5th grade to the zoo and Kali took these pictures and more of the elephant. The elephant will have a baby in the fall, and Kali can hardly wait to see the baby elephant.





We have a picture of Kali like this when she was younger. She wanted to see how much she has grown.

This is Kali being a prarie dog. This was suppose to show you life from the view of a prarie dog. We had lots of fun at the zoo, and can hardly wait to go again.
