Troy won the grand prize at his orthodontist's swimming party.  A cool Sony Digital camera.

First Selfie with his prize!

Awesome picture of him after he finished the South Ogden Stake 5K

Balloon fight!

October 16, 2007  Troy is enjoying school and Young Men's.  He is a sweety and starved for affection.  He's always asking for hugs--which I'm happy to give.  (I figure that can't last for long).

Playing on his snowboard in our backyard.
I love his giggle at the end of this video.  

Troy and a friend decided to light things up in his bedroom and take pictures. His big brother uploaded them with some other pics onto our computer where I stumbled across them.  BIG TROUBLE!!

Here are a few of the funny comments on Troy's Facebook account after he posted this pic.
He captioned it "Why I got grounded."
Big Brother, Matt "Inside the house. Not very smart.  If you were my kid you would be lucky to get grounded."
Troy "It was mostly outside."
Big sis "Haha, I wouldn't even have done it inside.   I thought I taught you better.  Come on baby, light my fire!"
Troy "haha. That was funny.  Light my fire....boooooom"
Aunt Glenna "Troy, lighting the fire may have been why you got grounded, but taking pictures was why you got caught!!!"
Matt "Memo to self.  Don't leave Troy alone anywhere in my house."
Troy " I think Travis uploading the pictures on the computer got me caught."
Sis "No, you taking pictures got you caught.  You must be very careful with such evidence.  Matt, I think that is a good strategy.
Mom "Troy, don't for any reason listen to your older sister.  She WILL lead you astray."
Sis "Oh boy, I didn't understand the full implications of mom getting facebook.  We'll have to be more careful from now on."
Troy "I understood it instantly. Thanks."
