The killing of ferocious beast!






Here are the pictures of the trophy-size beast that my brother Spencer and I speared in my house. Our spears were constructed with broomstick handles with a nail fastened to the end with electrical tape. Before engaging in the hunt, we felt that it was imperative to blast the stereo with the soundtrack from “The Last of the Mohicans”. This, of course, aided us by setting the mood we needed to be in to face such a dangerous journey.

We tore the entire house apart to bag this ferocious beast. It was a worthy foe, but in the end, we came off victorious. We were able to corner the beast from a distance with an air-soft gun that is normally used to shoot wild cats that enter my garage. (a lot of good those cats did *sarcasm implied*). Spencer made the first successful spearing from 2 ½ feet away, Robb was credited with the assist because he flushed him to Spencer. A second spearing was required by Robb to put the vicious monster out of its misery.

We have concluded that the savage beast entered the house one afternoon when Carlie and Olivia were playing (they left the door open for a while). It is assumed that the beast sought refuge in our house due to construction around us.

A small memoriam, to honor our fallen foe, was constructed near the site where the diabolical creature met his ultimate fate. The animal is currently at the taxidermy and will be place next to his memoriam.

Ethan Robert Lifferth


Life in Hyrum is good. We just received a new addition to the family, Ethan Robert Lifferth on February 26, 2008 at 1:27 AM. He has a ton of dark hair, he weighed 8 lbs 1 oz and is about 20 inches long. He is super cute. Olivia loves helping out with changing diapers and she kisses him about every 3 minutes! It is pretty funny.
Mom is doing better. She has suffered from a constant headache since the birth, but it seems to be subsiding.

Carlie was really glad that he waited so that he was not born on her birthday (Feb 25).
We are adjusting to life the best we can. It is crazy going from one child to two, but we are glad to have him in our lives. We have received so much help from our family and friends. Last night was the first night we cooked dinner for ourselves. We have had so much food brought to us. It has been really helpful.
