| Well, it's that time of year again ! |
 |
| They had matches at Morgan High last night, with only kids from Morgan. Tagg's group consisted of 5 kids, so he was able to wrestle 4 times. |
 |
| Grandpa tries to give pointers, but he's a little young to grasp it all. |
 |
| Treyson as usual because of his weight, has to wrestle 5th graders. |
 |
| He works hard, and is learning alot. He wrestled 3 times. |
 |
| He does grasp things, and is improving all the time. |
 |
| It's going to be a fun season ! |
 |
| Enjoying the beach at Palawan |
 |
| Getting ready to go on the Underground River tour |
 |
| Looks like it 's going to be fun..........but the hardhats worry me a little ! |

 |
| Last night the Rich Family and the Wardell Family got together to carve pumpkins ! It was a CRAZY good time :) So glad we could be a part of if :) |
 |
| Tagg wanted Jack Skeleton on his |
 |
| Kaydence was a good scooper outer (just like her Dad :) |
 |
| Power tools were a necessity ! Those big pumpkins that Grandpa D grew needed BIG TOOLS to open up and carve :) |
 |
| Thatch was happy in the middle of it |
 |
| Working Hard |
 |
| Funniest thing - after Treyson's was all done, it was found that he had his pumpkin UPSIDE DOWN ! The stem was actually on the bottom ! |
 |
| Muscle Power needed |
 |
| Treyson didn't want to get his hands and arms dirty.............Kaydence helped him out, she didn't mind :) |
 |
| Thatch grabbed any tool he could find in Daddy's toolchest to work on this little baby pumpkin |
 |
| Helping Dad with the FACE |
 |
| CJ - artist extraordinaire |
 |
| YUCK !?!? |
 |
| Towards the end things got crazy on the "creeper"...... |
 |
| And here they all are, with their masterpieces. Kathryn, Thatcher, Kendyl, Tagg, Treyson, Kassidy, Kamry, Kaydence Moroni, Lindsey, Kennedy, CJ, Zac |
 |
| Landon and Kacey and kids are traveling with Jordyn and Cody and Kellan, and David (Landlord) and his family this week. They are going to Palawan (Pa LAH wan). |
 |
| Beautiful Brightyn in her new dress :) |
 |
| Payson at the mall in Iloilo |
 |
| They got on a ferry and traveled across the waters to the island of Panay, to the city of Iloilo (Ee LOW ee LOW), stayed over night, and caught a flight to the island of Palawan. |
 |
| This will be their vacation spot for the next few days............... JEALOUS !! |
 |
| The foundation is done - now for the back-filling |
 |
| First - a little finish up of the underground plumbing (This was done on Friday) |
 |
| Zac worked on this masterpiece - the pump/grinder will sit in the bottom of this "bucket", and the top part which Zac built, is for ease of access to the pump in the future. Hopefully this won't be necessary, but just in case. |
 |
| We started about 9am Saturday morning |
 |
| It was a beautiful day |
 |
| Zac moved the dirt, and got as close as he could. |
 |
| A little shoveling was necessary.......... |
 |
| And then the Kubota was used |
 |
| Rog and Thatch, watching the action. Rog was hating life, not being able help and feeling pretty worthless. My goodness, he needs to take a chill pill. None of us was feeling that way, so he shouldn't. |
 |
| Zac is extremely careful and cautious with the little boys, and after hearing about that poor little 5-year old who was killed on a tractor yesterday (about this same time !) in Henefer, it just makes you want to be even more careful. |
 |
| They had a lot of fun playing around |
 |
| Treyson loved being up on tope of the piles of dirt as Zac was removing it! |
 |
| Thatch was climbing up and down and all around. He is pretty adventurous. |
 |
| Tagg collected all of the little metal pieces that Grandpa D and I had knocked off the foundation. It made me smile. I remember doing EXACTLY THE SAME THING when I was Tagg's age, and my mom and dad were building their house in 1967. |
 |
| Tagg loves to help his dad. |
 |
| And these boys sure love their mom |
 |
| Swinging......... |
 |
| I think he may need braces ! |
 |
| Smiley |
 |
| He's a little monkey ! |
 |
| Grandma and Thatch - she wasn't feeling super well, but of course she had delicious chili made for us for lunch :) |
 |
| Dad's helper |
 |
| The bucket contraption went in and out - getting it just right |
 |
| Hard worker |
 |
| Final placement |
 |
| After a day of work and play and fun...........we went up to the Rees Ranch aka Nightmare Ranch, and had a fun scary night. Treyson and I went through WITHOUT A GUIDE, and it was pretty freaky ! Tagg and Treyson and a couple of Lindsey's girls went through with a guide the second time. FUN TIMES !! |
