Bejing Acrobats
Fall Break in the backwoods of Tennessee
WOW! I had no idea Tennessee was so beautiful and the people so obligin'. Julie, Nana and I went to the Appalachian historic something. Julie is standing in front of Davy Crockett's actual cabin they transported from the back woods of Tennessee and put on the property. They have dozens of this kind of cabin from Tennessee legends. My favorite moment was the banjo pickin' band and Mom kickin' up her heels. ENJOY!
I need to include this picture on my blog. This was taken at the Capener reunion in Riverside, UT in September. What is so unusual about this photo is from L-R are Ralph Able, Me, Ralph's wife, Ralph's sister. Ralph used to contact me and come visit me in Las Cruces every time he had business in El Paso. They lived in Missouri at that time but now live back east and it was a fluke that they were in Utah visiting his parents and our paths crossed again. I was thrilled to see him! They are from the Joseph Aaron Rigby Capener line and we are from the Arthur Rigby Capener line.
This is an example of what I've been up to. As I read "Little House In The Woods" to the class they completed a small project to put in their lapbooks. They looked awesome when we were done. We also ate beef jerky, made butter, tried molasses and put smoke sauce in our smokehouse so it would always smell good. The kids favorite part was the origami pig bladder that is in Laura's pocket on the second page.
It was a fun project. The book featured on the back wall, "Earth to Clunk" is a Beehive nominee this year and is about alien pen pals. We recently wrote to our pen pals at my old Charter School. As you can tell...too busy to keep the blog up...gotta go grade some more papers.

Graduation Girl 2012
For those of you who did not get a formal High School Graduation announcement from Audrey, here is the collage she included in her announcement. Graduation is May 23 at 2pm in the Cox Auditorium on Dixie State Campus.
BYU Graduation 2012
Allen's graduation was inspirational and awesome. It always feels good when a plan comes together.
For those of you who don't know yet, Allen got a job with Raytheon in Aurora, Colorado and
starts work May 21st. Ron, Ren, RyLee, Anna, Kate, Audrey and I attended. This first picture shows Allen with Matt Romney (Milton's son from Cruces) and two other classmates. Allen graduated in Facilities Management with a Business Minor.
I especially like the photos of Kate enduring graduation for two days...Happy...Confused...Miffed...and Zonked Out when it all took too long. Way to go, Allen, you handsome devil you--#6 to be a BYU graduate in the family: Mom, Ben, Connie, Karen, Brian and YOU.
