You kids are getting richer all the time

My Grandpa Alton (not really my grandpa, but my great uncle, but he WAS my grandpa...long story) was on the Utah Vally target shooting team and competed nationally.   He was good.  He had a special Winchester model 52 target shooting rifle which, when he died, went to my dad.  I got it when my dad died.  I have a good friend that's a gun collector who looked it up for me.  Right now it's worth about $1000 which I had no clue.  I was thinking maybe 200-300 at the most.

Dunno if I'm gonna sell it and Cambrie, currently I have 4 guns in my home. I've always had at least 2 in my home since we've been married. Apparently I've hid them well from some of my children.

And from your wife...for long time I didn't know where they were. You don't sell stuff you inherit from your grandpa. It gets passed down the line.

I was a good kid and never looked where I shouldn't... except around Christmas time, but that's another story.

I vaguely remember seeing a gun, but that vagueness includes being down the street at the neighbor's house (Sand-something-er-others, I think... Next door to the Haslems).

THIS GUY   has to be having a hard time right now in Utah trying to make a name for himself and selling his music given that THIS GUY has quite a musical history too and has more press coverage.   Some people are just born to have bad luck.

Lots of fun happening around here. Kiera going through daddy-withdrawls after steve had to start school again. Poor little lady. Kiera has started trying to draw pictures of people now (see photo above). Kiera has officially mastered the VCR. She knows how to work it and what all of the buttons do. (I'll bet there are some 70 year olds who don't know as much as she does at age 2). Lydia has been enjoying a few firsts lately. We gave her rice cereal last night for the first time which she was apparently more than ready for (see video), we've put her in a doorway jumper which she likes although she hasn't figured out the jumping part yet. Oh, and for those of you who have been to NM lately, you'll appriciate this: Steve and I plan on applying to a government program that is somewhat like the military in that they pay for your schooling; but instead of steve being in a branch of the military, he will owe the government years of his life serving in one of th...
