Game Time - Football :)

#46, front and center.  Thatcher's first game went great.  He played both ways, and multiple positions.  It was fun to watch, and that boy's smile?  We never get tired of it :)

Tagg #50 - played nose guard this first game because the kid who usually plays that position recently had his appendix removed.  Hope to be back in his regular position soon.  Morgan lost, but played hard.  Ridgeline was pretty tough.  Mark and Carried came up to support Tagg, and we really appreciated that.  Tagg is one of the team captains.  He has worked hard, and really deserved it.

Happy Birthday to Grandma D

We gathered at the Property for ice cream and peach cobbler on Sunday night, the 10th, which is Mom and Dad's anniversary, and is two days after mom's actual birthday. 
Here she is with Landon's family. 

And Thatcher

And the Rich men and Dax 

With Bright and Pays

These two are sure growing up - 13 years old now.
My how time flies. 

And Kuk :)

 

Here are me and Mom - a few days before her birthday at 7 am at the South Morgan Cemetery.  I'm trying to help her get all of the pics she needs for her Find a Grave work, and I think she's going to call it quits when she gets all caught up.  She's been doing it for many years, and it's becoming more and more difficult.  She is a great example of determination and dedication.  I sure love her :) 

Media Event

Morgan is ranked #1 in 3A - Yeah !! 

Tagg was asked by Coach, along with three others on the team to represent.

MHS Football kickoff !

Tagg's football card  - Pretty Tuff !! 

 

CJ and Zac worked so hard to make this happen.  CJ as Senior Mom has alot of responsibility, and Zac is right there with her to help.  Thatcher (middle pic) was introduced with his Little League Team also.  Love our #46 

They introduced the Seniors

And they were able to sign their cards for everyone.  
It was a great night - click here for video 

New Reseal on Asphalt

All done ! - Ro Asphalt did a great job. 

This was the night before, after he did the crack patching. 

And here they are hard at work (1/2 done) 

 

More Space Station fun

I don't get it, but these boys sure do.  Something to do with online gaming. 

Landon is sure a sport :) 

 

Football "Family" Float

On Friday, August 1st, the entire Morgan High Football team met at the Property for a day of fun, floating the creek, volleyball, cornhole, tetherball, swinging, eating over 240 hotdogs.....
They came in shifts from about 11 am to 3:30.  They were divided into "Families" to help to unify the team.......Senior to Freshman.  Roger and I cooked the hot dogs.  It was a really good day.  CJ worked so hard to get this put together.  She should be proud. 

Can you spot Tagg in these pics?  Click here for fun video 

 

Fair Time

We ate dinner at the fair all three days.  Friday we took Mom, and met LuAnn there, and Zac and CJ and Treyson were there also.  Grabbed this great picture. 

 

Thatcher spent alot of time there also with his friends.  Click here to see fun video of him riding a "bull".

July for the Rich Family

Treyson is working hard, and holding strong.  His determination is amazing. 

Tagg is going FOOTBALL strong ! 

Got roasted in the pool one day. 

BTW - they are enjoying the pool for sure.
Here Thatch is with friends. 
Even the dogs are enjoying it ! Click here to see their antics 

Zac built an awesome deck, and Thatcher and Tagg painted it.

Thatcher has started his last year of "Little League" football.

He has also enjoyed floating the creek with friends.

Tagg and Bo went to the Pioneer Days Rodeo in style !

 

The Project continues, this time, branching into the "wood shop", because CJ needed more room that was taken away from her "dog room" for Treyson's upcoming studio apartment

Misc. "Us" in July

Our lawn started coming back to life after no water for 3 months.  Wet well finally came online about June 19th.  It's sure been a dry summer.  Only rain we have had was on July 4th.

We had our cement slabs raised, to even out the settling.  We've been really pleased with the result. 

We took Mom's grapevine down.  Looks really nice. 

Love my sun flowers  - these came back from last year's flowers.
All of the seeds I planted (from seeds taken from two years ago heads) were a total bust.  Just like the rest of our garden.  I don't know if it's because the seeds are too old, or if it's because they are copies of copies (like Multiplicity  - IYKYK). 

We've washed our vehicles at the Property.  I helped the first time, but was lazy the second :)

I've been enjoying working at the temple on Wednesdays.  I started on April 9th, and haven't missed a Wednesday.  I really enjoy it. We get new "lines" this coming Wednesday. 

Roger helping me clean and wash (and vacuum) windows in preparation for our AZ guests. 

He also climbed a tree to cut down some small (5 inch in diameter) limbs that were getting in his way during mowing.  We can sure tell we are getting older, it is alot harder to do things.  It seems we always need to ask Zac to help with alot of things, and we don't like to bug him.  

Removed a few wasps nests. 

Had our asphalt redone by Ro Asphalt, owned by Peter and Ally Tonks Bridge.  They did a great job !
