neighbors

Sounds heard recently from our neighbors:
-music with an impressively loud bass beat
-firecrackers, nearly every day at around 3:10 pm, signalling the return of our Jr. high neighbors from school
-lots of shovelling (one family is making their own basement entrance, we thought at first it might be a bomb shelter)
-young roosters trying to learn how to crow ( Eric says they sound like a 13-year-old boy crying)
-a horn honking at 30-45 second intervals for 10 minutes at 4:45 am ( I actually stormed out of the house finally and asked a very surprized man to please stop- seriously, just go up to the door, they're not coming out)
and lastly, the one we enjoy
-Scotland the Brave on the bagpipes! Our backyard neighbor plays, it's very cool.

And we thought Santaquin was so quiet and peaceful! The last couple of weeks have proven us wrong, it's been funny.

  3. I wish I had heard some of these noises! Especially the bagpipes! Also, I was very amazed by Kate's drawings. She does look very gifted in her fine motor skills. Way to go!

  5. That is a lot of noise, especially for living in your own house! We were hoping the noise issues would stop once we are not sharing walls with other people.
    Oh, and I must say how super-impressed I am with Katelyn's art skills. Henry doesn't even come close to matching her! I was really hoping our kids would have some kind of artistic talent, but so far I don't have too much hope! Be proud of that girl. :)

Hope you guys are enjoying the bagpipes :) Thanks for posting a comment on our blog. It's good to be in contact with you guys!!
