Last week Mother Nature must
have thought she needed to get our attention. She sent a thunder and lighting
storm on Thursday evening and early Friday morning. The thunder crashed, the
lighting flashed across the sky and the wind blew. When the rain started, we

major clean up job the next day.
The Fraser community
celebrated a number of birthdays over the weekend. Cody Bird turned five years
old on Aug. 5. His mom Katie reported they celebrated his birthday on Saturday,
Aug. 7 with a homemade pizza party. The theme for his party was “Toy Story”, his
grandma Gayle decorated his cake with Buzz and Woody characters from that movie.
Katie’s parents joined Katie
and Mike and sister, Shelby for the party, they are Evan and Margo Anderson from
Cody’s gifts included clothes,
toy cars, a scooter and books; he also learned to ride a two-wheeled bicycle

Cody.
Katie reported her parents are
having a new home built on the farm. They hope to be residents of the area next

This year’s theme was “Sock Monkey”. Her grandparents Donna and Danny, Uncle
Brad, Uncel Derek, Aunt Caresse and cousins Emma, Parker and Nathean, Tony and
Heather Christopherson, Carl and Betsy Stemrich and their family Ian and Sarah
and the McCollums joined the family to help her celebrate.
They enjoyed tacos for dinner followed by cake and ice cream. We bet you
can guess how her cake was decorated; it was a “Sock Monkey” of course! Happy
birthday, Caitlin.

their home on Friday, Aug. 6 to help Reggie celebrate his birthday. Jan
Thornton, Jim McManus, Carl and RoseAnn Thornton and Steve and Norma Brand

She and her sister Robin did
make one trip to see the Alaskan Pipeline and she also took pictures of Robin
and Steve’s home and the neighbors’ wheat fields. She had a good time but she

deck.
