Some of Uncle Glen's Artwork

 

For those of you who may not know, Glen is my younger brother and has always loved art.  Some of his works are listed above. 

Picture 1:  I don't know the story behind this piece of art and sorry that it is a bit out of focus.
Picture 2.  I was told Glen used chalk for this piece of work and it only took a few days.  Glen
                 enlarged a Greg Olsen picture for girls camp. 
Picture 3.  Two nice bucks Glen drew.
Picture 4:  This portrait of Roy Mortenson (our father) was painted some years ago.  The photo it
                  was taken from is in the lower left corner when dad was a kid.  Grandma thought Tyler
                  looks a lot like his grandfather.  Tyler's school pictures is the color photo.

Reinner Wildlife Area Near Hyattville Wyoming

I am still working for the Big Horn County Weed and Pest.  Today we were cutting and spraying russian olive trees (considered a pest) on the Reinner Wildlife Refuge.  I thought it was some pretty cool looking country. Reinner is about 50 miles southwest of Burlington, WY between Hyattville and Ten Sleep Wyoming. 

Halloween and Tylers Birthday

Julia and Tyler were quite creative in carving their own pumpkins.  Julia's was sleeping including a night cap  and Tyler followed a pattern of a cat.  Both worked hard in drawing and tracing their carvings.  

The next two pictures were taken during Tyler's 10th Birthday Party and the last photo is of a story Tyler wrote in class after eating Cheese Puff and describing what that experience is like.
