It doesn't get any better than this !

On the road.............

Landon and Kacey are headed to Dublin, Ohio for the summer.   They will be living here.  They left yesterday and drove 14 hours from Morgan to Des Moines, Iowa. They will drive another 9 hours today and be at their destination. Landon will be working for Vivint this summer, selling alarm systems. We are sure it will be a great adventure for them, and wish them the best of luck !
Follow their trek here 

Better late than never - that's my motto !

A couple of weeks ago, Zac completed a half marathon.  This is one of the races in the "circuit", to prepare for a full marathon.

Where was CJ when he crossed the finish line?

At the bathroom with Treyson of course........

Such is the life of a mother :)

It was a chilly day in Huntsville that morning, but at least he didn't get rained on.  The little boys are always happy to be there supporting their dad.

The race was 13.2 miles, and was a little harder than Zac thought it would be, but he was happy overall.  He finished 7th in his age group (25-29 years), and came in at 1 hour, 38 minutes and 56 seconds.  He will be running 18 miles this Saturday in Huntsville.  His plan is to run a FULL marathon (his first) on June 11th in Provo.  They will start at Wallsburg in Wasatch County, and run down Provo Canyon, along University Avenue to the finish line in the middle of town.  We are then going to spend the day at Seven Peaks when he is finished..  We invite all who'd like to come cheer him on AND get wet afterward.

Back to the Property !

Saturday afternoon (04/16/11) we decided since it wasn't raining, snowing or snaining, that we'd start on cleaning up the property. What a mess. Seems like the first cleanups of the year are the worst.

The creek was up, that's for sure...............

But NOTHING like Monday night. So far we are okay, but if a big log comes down and gets backed up behind the dam............. we will flood. We are keeping our fingers crossed.

From Bad to Worse...........

Taken from the bank of East Canyon Creek (west side) on our property, looking Northeast towards Morgan City, about 7pm on Monday, April 18, 2011.

There were many many people on hand, trying to stem the tide of the creek as it emptied over the east bank onto Susan Ralston's property, headed towards Morgan City. 

Earlier yesterday morning, I could see that Streadbeck's property was majorly under water, and flowing back onto ours.  Also, the "patch" we had worked on Sunday, proved to be woefully inadequate, and it was pouring out of our bank again.  I called Roger, and he came home from work about 10:30 am.  A few hours later, we managed to get our problem fixed once again.  Thank goodness for good help from good friends.

Flooding on the "crick":

East Canyon Creek is running very high.

Roger and I walked along our banks yesterday, and discovered a breach.

Water was flowing onto our field through the gap.  We were worried it would get worse.

 
We felt like we needed to do something immediately, and Roger wasn't up to this  :)

We were able to get some sandbags, and called on "the troops" :)

Just a little of the "fun" we had.  Those little boys are something else :)

Train them up right ! :)

Cutie Patootie

Someone lost their front tooth !

On her way to perform at her school's Variety Show.  She did so well, and was so brave to get up in front of many many people ;)

April Fool's Fun :)

Look carefully - what do you see?

A wonderful meal of fishsticks and ketchup, mashed potatoes with gravy and butter, and nutritious carrots and peas, right??

WRONG !!

Here Treyson is trying the beautiful pink frosted chocolate cupcake, right??

WRONG !!

Treyson wants nothing to do with that "cupcake" - Their crazy mom CJ, and Grandma Gwen fixed a mixed up crazy meal :)

Happy April Fool's !!!

Fish sticks = cookies spread with peanut butter and rolled in crushed corn flakes, ketchup is raspberry jelly.
Mashed Potatoes and Gravy = Vanilla ice cream, with caramel sauce, and a "pat" of smooshed starburst for the butter :)
Peas and carrots = cut up orange starbursts, and rolled fondant
Cupcake = Meatloaf, with pink mashed potatoes swirled on top.
