| We woke up to snow yesterday morning (Saturday), and then the sun came out and when we got out of Treyson's ball game at 11am, it was melted !. We went to the Property, and it was Sunny (see pic below), but looking down toward Mountain Green, you could see a black wall of clouds heading our way. |
 |
| See now nice ? |
 |
| Here it comes! Almost like a dividing wall. I asked Zac if it reminded him of the Stephen King story I told him of "The Mist" :) |
 |
| Rog and Zac were working on the finish work in the bathroom. |
 |
| A literal blizzard came through, and laid down another inch......and then it moved on and even though the sun didn't come out again because of clouds, there was no snow coming down. |
 |
| These two decided to go out with friends to eat in Ogden. |
 |
| Goofy kids :) |
 |
| We watched the boys - fixed a Spaghetti supper, and I just had to get a cute closeup of Treyson's cute freckles. I just love them ! |
 |
| Thatcher just turned three, but if you ask him how old he is, he likes to tell you FIVE !! |
 |
| He had Rog sit down, and they rolled a ball between their legs. Thatch wouldn't scoot back any further, he is so silly. By the time Zac and CJ got home about 10pm, it was a blizzard outside again - man the wind was FIERCE ! Tagg and Thatcher were asleep in our bed (Roger had laid down with them). Me and Treyson were up watching "The Ghost and Mr. Chicken". He is a funny kid - he likes scary movies, but not TOO scary, because he doesn't want nightmares :) |
 |
| Yeah for #20 - Our Treyson. The games started in December, and just finished up today ! They were on Saturday mornings at either 10am or 11am in the middle school "small" gym. |
 |
| Treyson had the same coach he had last year, Richard Peterson (Tom Peterson's son). He's actually a relative ! Tom and I are 3rd cousins, and Richard and Zac are 4th cousins, and Treyson and Richard's kid (the one on the end in front, with his fist up to his chin) would be 5th cousins ! I don't know all of the kids on the team unfortunately. They struggled, that's for sure, but I always asked Treyson if he was having fun, and he always said YES! so that's a good thing. :) They lost their last game by one basket ! It was a heart breaker. At one point, Treyson made a basket, which tied them up with the other team 12-12. At least they were pretty evenly matched against the opposing team this time. |
 |
| It was a combined family birthday party - Tagg turned 7 (on the 8th) and Thatcher turned 3 (on the 13th). Lindsay and the girls, and all the grands and greats were there, and Rilee and Kenzie and Blakeley too. |
 |
| Tagg is such a great reader, and read each card with care. |
 |
| Lookin' Stylin' !! |
 |
| Cake time ! |
 |
| Uncle Rilee :) |
 |
| Kassidy, Tagg, Kamry |
 |
| Things were a little bit crazy at times :) |
 |
| Thatch's "Jake and the Neverland Pirates" birthday cake - too cute ! |
 |
| Many "helpers" in the kitchen. |
 |
| Oh, this boy was sure excited with all of his PIRATE stuff ! |
 |
| It doesn't get any better than this !! |
 |
| 2012 - Newborn |
 |
| 2013 - ONE YEAR OLD :) |
 |
| 2014 - I'M TWO !! |
 |
| Thatch (I mean Spidy) stopped by my work the other day. He had a Ray Gun, and and Light Saber, and a Pirate Hat (not in pic), besides the Spidy cape and mask. Oh what a fun THREE YEAR OLD !! Love you Thatcher !! |
 |
| Well, I'm enjoying Crossfit. It is a combination of dread and looking forward to going. Strangest thing ! Tonight we did a workout called "Angie" 100 pullups, 100 pushups, 100 situps, 100 air squats. We broke them up how we wanted. See Zac and Stan? They did 100 of each, right down the line. Me? I did 10 of each, and tried to get 10 rounds in. I made it part way through Round 9 (in the 25 minute cut-off time). I was the only one left working......felt kind of dumb, but everyone was really encouraging, so it was okay. Then we got on the rowers and had to bust out 500 meters. It took me 3 minutes and 13 seconds. Actually faster than I thought I would be. *I should clarify - I did everything except the air squats "scaled", which means I certainly didn't do ACTUAL pullups (like Kaley and Jenni are doing (see picture, two women on the far right bars). I'm there in the middle, with my back to the camera THANK THE GOOD LORD, doing MY VERSION of a pull-up. I did pushups the same way, and my situps......I can't get all the way up....oh well..... I've been going a month now, and I'm planning on signing up again. Hopefully I am getting stronger. I think I am, and it is helping my back to feel better also. It is pretty intimidating, but Landon and Kacey were right, it becomes addicting ! And, it is fun to be there with a group of people, it is motivating - a sense of community. I usually go at 6pm on Mondays and Wednesdays, and 6:30 am on Fridays, and 8am on Saturdays. Come and try it out ! |
 |
| Kelly is in town for the week working (Autoliv), and he wanted to have a get-together, so Sunday afternoon LuAnn fixed a good ham and scalloped potato dinner. It was great to see everyone, and just catch up. I think we were all surprised by Layne's beard ! We sat around the table for a good hour, reminiscing, catching up, etc. |
 |
| Ben and Lu and their boys - Great picture ! |
 |
| While the guys (Roger, Zac, Dad) worked on getting the soffit and facia up, we proceeded to rake and start a fire in the pit which about smoked them out ! When will we ever learn ? |
 |
| Goofy Guy |
 |
| Here is a better picture of all of their hard work - it looks great ! |
 |
| It was a warm beautiful day - for the 1,000,000th time..........Can. Not. Believe. This. Weather !! |
 |
| Can't believe this boy is SEVEN !! |
 |
| CJ is on the phone making last minute arrangements for Tagg's "friend" party, which was Saturday night. He had a few friends over to eat pizza and watch a movie. |
 |
| They finally got some no trespassing signs posted, after once again, people come down from the other side, and enter the gate, traipse around, and then leave the gate wide open with the chain missing........ leaving quickly when they see someone coming (from our side). |
 |
| Looks beautiful, huh? They hope to get siding on the gabled ends done this week. |
