Rainbows, Goats and a Missionary

Rainbow - July 29th about 7-8pm?  Beautiful 

Blakeley came up for an hour while her mom taught Cross Fit.  These two have fun together :)

What a Rodeo !?!?!  We picked up Paris and France (Cam's names for the goats) from the Prescott's.  It wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be.  They are sure cute :)

Thatcher was pretty chill around the dogs this time.  Just as long as they didn't show their teeth up close !

We got the goats caught, home, and prepared the barnyard (one side) for them.  Moved some logs over for them to jump on.  

The kids tried to bribe them with alfalfa pellets........but they would have none of that.  They are a little skittish, but we know they will warm up to us. 

This kid is going to grow up and join the Circus !!

Later in the day we headed to SLC to see Tiana come home from her mission.  Here, Cam and Erika are comparing heights.  She's almost caught up to Kuk !

Brightyn and Grandma D

Erika got this cool banner !

Greeting Grandma and Grandpa.
The first words from her mouth to Erika, "I wasn't ready to come home :**( "

Meeting Brightyn for the first time

Brightyn started doing this funny thing with her little tongue.  I think she just discovered it !

Welcome Home Tiana !

Brian, Tiana, Colton
Lance will see her in a couple of weeks when he comes home from California (Stanford)

This lovely little lady makes me smile :)

She's sitting pretty good !

Lagoon Days and other stuff :)

These two get along pretty well.  She is a little taller than him, and HE is a little heavier than her.  They are 17 months apart.  Love them !

And Cam sure loves Thatcher !

On Rattlesnake Rapids.........

Just before I put my phone away :)

We were SOAKED !!

Totally !

Can't remember what ride we were on, but Cam was in charge of the selfie :)

He had never been on an UP and DOWN horsie before.  Loved it !!

This day - it was SO HOT !!

Back at home, I fixed pizza.  The kids decided to climb the rotomill hill.  

She loves her Grandpa!

Got her hair trimmed, and a new braid - thanks Amy !

Two Peas in a Pod - A little Scooby Doo, and the Standard Examiner.

Making a shell picture for entry in the fair - hope she gets a first place!

On our way to Lagoon again !!

Pays loved this ride :)

But then his mom went on the roller coaster with Cam, and he wasn't too happy :(

He cheered up for the jeeps !

The whole crew - Monday night at Lagoon. (except me taking the pic) - This was just before they got Rog on Wicked..........which he didn't know included the UP and DOWN "loop" that he could see in the distance.  Funniest story ever !!

Early this morning we saw two baby fawns just off our back lawn.

Cam decided to put her face paints to work.

Cute little baby Zebra :)

I worked on Tagg's face (he's a vampire).  Not sure why Thatcher looks so startled.

We've been having a great time !!

Fun Videos

Fun ALL DAY LONG at the Property !

After the race, we high tailed it up to the Property, where we fixed a yummy breakfast.

Bacon, Pancakes, Eggs and Hashbrowns

Chocolate milk and Orange Juice  (Cam has been SUCH a big helper)

Brightyn was such a good girl.  Kacey had to help her mom with football stuff, but she brought the kids up, and I'm so glad she did.  We had a great day.

Here is Zac again, trying to get Pays to eat.  Silly Boy.

It was a beautiful morning, and the food all tasted so good!

Tree monkeys

Payson is such a good helper.  He and the other boys (and Cam) carried dead wood to the fire, and we worked to clean up the downed trees.

There were a couple of trees that had fallen, and caught upon other trees, and they were in dangerous positions, so Zac and Roger finished cutting and pulling them down.  Then there was the mess to clean up  of course :)  The little boys were fascinated by the chainsaw.

They helped carry the little logs, and sat on the big ones.

They even "helped" with the raking.  Maybe help isn't the right word (haha).

Look at this BIG GIRL - she's learning to SIT !!

These two hung out all day.  They got along really well.

This was the first big tree they pulled down.

And it's down !

Cam was sure a big helper, and a wonderful cousin.

This game is called, sprinkle (throw!) the rocks on Taggie !

They loved the squirt guns too.

We laid in the shade and relaxed part of the time.

Oh this kid has a mind of his own :) 

Zac, getting ready to work on the second "snag" and pull it down.  I must say, I was pretty relaxed and calm today.  I am usually a nervous wreck when this is going on.

And of course there was playing in the creek !

Love having her here to enjoy Morgan.  Wish her whole family could come.

Gonna get you !

And YOU !!

She had a great day !
