Tim Barrus Family Update

Sharee is still teaching 4th grade. She is the librarian at church. She works hard to keep her husband and kids on the straight and narrow. She still loves to scrapbook and watch Twilight, read, and loves trying new recipes from food network.

Tim is as nutty as ever. This summer he took woodbadge for scout leaders, took the scouts on a 50 mile canoe trip, and went on a dinosaur dig in northern Montana for two weeks. This created alot of stress at home but the family survived. He is teaching two new classes in High School this year.(Astronomy and Field Geology) This is keeping him on his toes with all the new lesson plans. He is planning a A&P Fieldtrip to U of U again this spring. Any Utah students are welcome to join.

Nate worked construction with his uncle Darin this summer. He was in his first car accident (fender bender). He played wide reciever and defensive end on Varsity here in worland. They worked hard but did not make play-offs. He now is playing JV basketball and is 6th man on Varsity team. He managed to take a week off and shoot cow elk this year. He is trying to keep his GPA up so he can get hathoway scholarship. He plans on Soccor in the spring. He took a girl to homecoming and was nervous as could be.

Courtney swam on the swim team this year. She cut time in everyone of her events. She swam on a relay at the state tournament in Gillette. She keeps with 4H and did another quilt this year. She made friends with a neighbor girl next door and now has become our socialite. Quite far from the tree of her father. She is taking on-line classes in high school where she is studying French. There is only one thing that she really is competitive in. She love to beet her brother in anything. She studies night and day to get better grades than him. So far it has paid off.
