| We received this invitation the other night - it must have "washed up" on our shores :) |
 |
Inside were orders from Captain Treyson ! Happy Birthday to our Pirate :) Click on the invite to read, it is definately worth it. CJ is SO creative !

 |
| Okay - Now he's on the right :) |

| Happy 3 0 Zachary. On September 28, 1981 you made us so very happy. Our first baby boy, all white and covered with "fur". We love you and your family very much. Thanks for EVERYTHING you do for all of us. |

 |
| It started out with rain and then sunshine before we left for Logan yesterday. Sardine Pass was horrible with rain coming down really hard, but thankfully as we dropped into the Cache Valley, it had cleared somewhat. |
 |
| Landon and the little boys rode up with us. Zac and CJ were already there, and at this point Zac had been running for 1 1/2 hours. |
 |
| At first we waited for him on main street, but he never came and never came...........we thought we had missed him and moved quickly to the finish line a couple of blocks east. |
 |
| Grandpa and Grandma D. and the little boys waiting in the bleachers. We waited and waited, and I was starting to get worried as his first marathon time of 3:33 passed, and then 3:40........had something happened? |
 |
| I was brave and took the two little boys ALONE to the parade. We sat by the Hyde's and the Pentz's and had a great time. It was the typical high school parade, with trucks and trailers (or boats) for each grade, organization, team, etc, etc,. Only about 1/10th the candy thrown as compared to the Morgan County Fair Parade, but hey - those high schoolers don't have very big budgets, right?? |
 |
| Explained the finer points of PIXIE STICKS to my grandsons |
 |
| Rain threatened, and it finally sprinkled, but didn't ruin the parade. There is definitely FALL IN THE AIR !! |
 | |
| The Hyde Family - Leslie will probably kill me ! Love ya LES !! |
 | ||
| Joshua Pentz had a bunch of "SPACE" flash cards, and the boys were enthralled. What a cute family. It is great living in Morgan. On our left were the Hyde's and Aubrey is in Treyson's class, and on our right are the Pentz's and Ambrosia is also a classmate. |
 |
| Speaking of Kindergarten, I snapped this cute picture just before the parade. Mrs. Carpenter FKA Carrie Watt is the best :) |

 |
| Grandma and Shaylee in Korea - do you think you can sneak her home in a suitcase? |
 |
| I visited the old Territorial Statehouse in Fillmore. There's Amy Jo in the corner :) |
 |
| New project - Here come the chickens ! |
 |
| From Tree to Table - amazing :) |
 |
| We started EARLY, and the job ahead seemed almost impossible. |
 |
| Zac and Roger had previously torn off the north end of the barn for easy access. This thing hadn't been cleaned out in DECADES. |
 |
| We uncovered some writing in the cement - ZAC RICH 1995. We had poured new footings for the posts when Zac was only14 years old - now he's 25 days shy of 30 ! |
 |
| The little boys were in 7th heaven, be bopping from one adventure to another. By the end of the day, they had ridden in a tractor, an excavator, and a HUGE loader. |
 |
| Grandma and Grandpa Ben came down to help and watch. |
 |
| The little boys play in the loft........ |
 |
| ....that was all nice and clean thanks to their dad. Sure wish Uncle Don was here to see all this. He would be amazed! |
 |
| Even though Tagg didn't feel the best, he had a good day overall. We couldn't understand him when he talked, because it sounded like he had a mouth full of marbles. Unfortunately, they weren't marbles, but cold sores and cankers instead, poor little guy :*( |
 |
| The finished product ! Can you believe it? |
 |
| We ended up with THIS !!, which we will fill in for more parking. |
