We found our turkeys from the before post at the church on the west side of the highway this week. We talked with them for a few minutes and they were gobbling like crazy still.
Kennedy got a participation medal in archery. She was SO proud of it. We couldnt get her to take it off. She said to me "How did I get a participation medal when I talked half the time!?" I didnt have the heart to tell her all the little kids got one. They dont keep score in her age group.
Thursday night we had a surprise 50th wedding anniversary to attend. Lynn and Karen Hayes (archery club members) Their family was sweet enough to invite members of the archery club as well. Archery is a huge part of Lynns life. Of course that mean Roy and Kathy (who have known Lynn forever) and Todd and Jana, Mom and Dad, Chris Kennedy and I were all there too. Liz, Kyle, Kinlee and Koree too.
They had NO idea about this. Their kids planned it, had all of Richardos reserved and went to pick up their parents for dinner. When they got there and opened the door we yelled surprise and scared the hell out of them.
They were so excited. Lynn and Karen are such sweet people. They were truly humbled that this many people would turn out for their anniversary. They took the time to go around to everyone an say thank you and shake their hands.
They had gold tipped feathers. Kennedy and Kinlie used them in their hair to become unicorn Indians.

Kennedy was being so goofy. We couldnt stop laughing as we were trying to take pictures.. and yes she wore her medal to dinner.. to walmart.. to the drs..
This week is Telecommunications week.. aka dispatcher week. Our work always does all kinds of cute things for the week to show us we are appreciated. Each week we get a goodies bag filled with all kinds of neat things, or treats, or donuts or surprises.
This banner was hung as you came in
Our walls were lined with posters that our agencies did. We are a multi agency dispatch.. we handle for EVERYONE (police, fire, ems, public works, animal control etc) in Weber and Morgan County. The posters were so sweet!!!! It was so nice to think they would take the time to even sign their names and say thank you.
This week also was the Great Shake Out..aka earthquake preparedness. A few of us were picked to assist some of our agencies with a mock disaster. I got to be the dispatcher for the incident it. It was pretty fun. We went to our backup center and into training modes on all our systems so we didnt wreak real havoc lol! What started out as a building collapse at an elementary school ended as a Level 4 Mass Casualty Incident.
We even had the Ham radio operators in on our training
We rocked it.
Chris added an additional sprinkler line to the front system to get ALL the grass better.
Then he dug the start of one in the backyard where its some of our harder to reach places
While he was doing that I tilled the garden and planted my peas, carrots and asparagus. I need to get my potatoes in and then in a few weeks I can plant everything else.
