Snow Day!

It was very exciting for everyone at the Beatty household to have a Snow Day in La Verkin. As you well know, snow is a rare commodity in Southern Utah. This was Liberty's first Snowman. Silver had his first SNOW DAY - home from school because of the hazards of 1.5 inches of treacherous driving conditions.

The snow really made our new house feel like home. Its fun to start memories in a new place.

Family Pictures

All employees of Western Pest Control were able to have family pictures done. Michael Ebert was hired and he did a great job. We took a lot of pictures, but we liked these the best.

Wade

Saying goodbye to Washington

Ode to 1197 E. Oak Wood Ln.

After six and a half years at our current home we are going to be leaving. We close on our new house at 11 oclock tomorrow. I haven't allow myself to believe it was going to happen, so now that it has I am a little shocked. At times I think about cool new things in our new home, like having the kids play downstairs, painting, landscaping or the massive kitchen cabinets I get butterflies in my stomach. Then as I wash dishes in the sink I look out at the front yard and the fast growing bush under the window I get heart sick thinking about all of the good memories we have had here. Three of our four children where born while we lived here and grew up here. I mean how lucky are we to have family on the same street? We will always think of this place and time the most fondly. The Lord has truely blessed us!

This might be our new place coming this October if all goes right with the bank. Finally, we would be able to stretch our legs and send the kids down stairs to play and be loud. Wade has already started practicing tellling to kids to "go downstairs and play". They just give him a funny look and go on screaming, but Wade says it is still satisfying to him.

She is a doll!  And lesson is kind of a snoozer.

Peach Days Parade

This years Peach Days was very busy for our little family. It started off with Wade running in the 12K race. Wade finished about the time he expected and actually won a price for guessing the time he would finish. Sheri and the kids came over in time for the parade. Silver brought a wagon and some ice and bottled water that he was planning on selling during the parade to earn money with which he wanted to buy a Batman costume. Silver was very successful. In fact he sold the 24 waters that he brought with him. Then he stopped by the Maverik and bought another 24 and more ice. He quickly sold all those waters and was turning people away by the time he had gotten back to where we were sitting. Although he was very shy at first, by the end, success had made him quite the town cryer as he walked up and down the street hollering "Ice cold water, 1$" - Very Cute. Lincoln rode on the float with Grampa Beatty and the Sons of the Utah Pioneers.
