OK, I know I haven't sent anything for a long time. Sorry. Here is a picture taken last Friday of the new building progress. We are supposed to move in on August 1. Hmmm...
What do you think? I am going out tomorrow to the SECOND FLOOR to take some more pictures, so I'll post some of those.

First snowfall.

We got our first snowfall of the year
Sunday afternoon. It only snowed about two inches, but it's been cold so it stayed around. By Friday it's supposed to be back up around 70 degrees. Ah, the Utah weather.

This photo is of Rob, Kristen and Haylee coming across the parking lot after church. It wasn't snowing when they went to church.

More construction

This is the new softball complex, looking southeast. It is directly south about 15 yards of the baseball diamond. You can see the natatorium in the middle right of the picture. The plan is to lay sod on both the baseball and softball diamonds, but to seed the soccer field. The soccer field will take about 18 months to be ready to play on, while softball and baseball should be ready lin the Spring.

Construction

This is a photo of the new baseball field at Box Elder High School. It is part of the $30 million building project at the school and includes a new softball and soccer field. This picture is taken looking north east from the approximate middle of the old soccer field.

Footings

Here , the crew is working on the footings for the south classroom addition. The poured these first, then moved to the north addition.

The BE School District is building a nearly complete new high school. They will eventuall tear down about 80% of the old school and put up new stuff. This is the day they made the first cement pour and Darrell (in purple shirt) got to help vibrate the concrete down into the forms .

The crews are really making progress now so I will try to make new posts each week or so. It's already fun to watch the walls start to go up. See the next picture.

Peach Days 2008

Melissa, Carin's younger sister, was an attendant at in the Peach Queen pageant last week, so she got to ride on the float. She is the beauty in the purple dress. The parade was fun, but the most fun was having everyone home for the weekend. All except Carin, JC and Zenock of course, because they moved to Washington D.C. last week.

We had peach cobbler, watched the parade, went to all the craft booths, had peach cobbler, looked at the window displays, had lunch after the parade, and all the other Peach Days stuff you do. It was great.
