The Things You Can Do With a Hot Dog

I enjoyed doing this for my big sister, actually if I have to be honest my Mom did do most of it, but this is my first of many GREAT "Aus" publications I'm sure.  For some reason my family never get tired of watching it - or is it me? Anyway they still get a kick out of laughing at me cause I'm so funny!

The Dirt Bike Kid

Cool is cool, and fun is fun;

And when you put 

Austin and dirt bikes together

That's just what you get

COOL FUN!!

Pictures I took for my Photography Badge

This was just an amazing picture that my Mom loves,
she made it look faded around the edges

We had a real fun family trip on a train ride from
Settler to Big Valley and real bandits held our train up
and I got this great picture of one of them.

This was just a prairie shot as the train went by

This didn't turn out so good

but any picture of my little niece is a good picture
It was taken while the train was movingThis was just a picture I took of Jason doing his homework

These are two of my Grandma Gwilliam's Brothers
Ellsworth and Lloyd Brown
They served in the US Air Force in WWII

December 7, 1941, began a dramatic time in the life of Edith Hill Brown, for this was the start of America's involvement in World War II. Sons Kenneth, Ellsworth, Lloyd, and Ralph all served in the Armed Forces. The three older boys were all bombardiers in the Air Force at the same time. Their mother wrote a poem, "A Mother's Prayer," which tells a little of her feelings.

A Mother's Prayer
Three bombardiers are somewhere in the skies tonight
Three precious boys, scarce past their teens.
Protect them by thy grace and might,
Let me have faith in Thee, Supreme.

All of the boys returned safely after their tours of duty and filled missions for the Church. All of the children but LeGrand were married in the temple and have been blessed with lovely faithful families. After Lloyd's third child was born, he was serving in the National Guard and was killed in a training accident of a jet fighter near Boise, Idaho in 1956. This was a sad time for all the family. I think I'll go call my dad and thank him for his sacrifice. Love, Gordon
(I believe LeGrand suffered from debilitating illness his entire life - Helen)
