The Crazy Begins.......

Where do I start?  Thatcher got his new glasses.  After the first couple of days, he has gotten used to them, and has come to rely on them.  They are so cute, and when he doesn't have them on, he doesn't look like himself !  Funny, how quick WE get used to seeing him in glasses.  Glad they are soft plastic, or I think they would have been busted multiple times by now :)
Thanks to Lance Prescott (for the 2nd time), Zac and CJ's trailer in now in place next to our garage.  They have worked hard over the last week to make it a little home.  A/C unit added through the back window, wifi hooked up, and a multitude of other necessities.
The kids were fighting over the one trampoline, so we decided to set up both of them.  One for the big boys, and one for the little ones..........but having them this close together, all they want to do is jump back and forth.  Our 25+ year old mat bit the dust, so we ordered up a new one from Pitcher sports.  Works like a champ, and we ended up separating the trampolines, and that has worked much better.
Funniest picture of the Porter Family Reunion we had at the Property last Saturday.  Dallas gave K.P. a shove, and BAM, the chair collapsed.   The reunion turned out really really good, and LuAnn was happy, and glad it was over too !

CJ finally decided on portable bunks for the two little boys in the trailer.  Zac put them together, and they work really well.  They slept there last night for the first time, so I hope everything went good.  They were all still sleeping when I left this morning.
Two old fogies :)
Crazy jumping - Thatch has learned how to do bummers.
Pizza Time - it's a favorite, that's for sure.
Landon and Kacey got back from camping, and two more kids got in on all the action !
Silly kiddos
Landon and Zac and Roger worked on the vinyl fencing that I picked up for CHEAP!! 
It didn't take long................
I think tonight they will use the table saw, and work on getting the final pieces in place.  Then it will be up to me to wash it.  It's pretty dirty from being stored.......maybe I can get some help from some little boys :)

Landon is home - Let's Par-tay !!

Waiting for Daddy at the Airport
Oh boy, this kid was sure excited......
Grandpa Roger did his best to keep him entertained :)
Such a great reunion - and Brightyn didn't cry this time !
Happy Family - together again :)
We headed straight home from the airport to the ball-field, so that Landon could catch Payson's final T-ball game.  Brightyn didn't want to leave his side.
Yup - Daddy's back !
Happy Happy !!
The whole crew - BOY it was HOT !!
Saturday we had a wonderful get together at the Property.  It was so nice to sit under the cool shade.........
.....the kids floated down the shallow creek.
Jaden was such a good sport.  He got in with the kids, and also helped out with the zipline later.
Payson found an egg with a dead baby bird inside.  Grossed everyone out but me :)  Landon and Kacey got a kick out of the "things" that bug or worry me, and the "things" that don't.  We didn't agree on this one !
Let's squish mommy !
Zip line fun - Thatcher in the seat.  Payson rode it for the first time this year.  Yea Payson !!  I didn't get a still picture, but I do have a video which I'll post.
Oh, they had a such a great time.......
.....and they had a great audience :)
Stylin' Baby
Go Tagg Go !!
Grandpa Ben caught a some zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz's

Another run down the creek.......

This past week we worked and played

It is the time of year when we roll up the greenhouse plastic at Grandpa's garden.  This is always a group effort. 
Even the little one likes to help :)
Sometimes it's hard to pry the big ones away from the TV in the shop.
Still working on that #*&% trailer......   Zac got new flooring put down in the bathroom.  I'm not sure it he has the new toilet set yet.   They are almost ready to start packing it up, and moving it to  our house.  They have until July 1st, and everything seems to be going well on their house closing. 
Eating supper with Grandpa Roger 
Yum Yum !! 
Zen Master Tagg
Hello !
Payson loves the swing 
Eating supper
Jeff got the hay baled, and of course we needed to take the requisite pics.  Here in the distance you can see Roger D. trying to boost Treyson up - didn't work so good.  He needed three people to get him up there :) 
What a poser :)

Thatcher was extremely nervous - and wanted down almost immediately.  The bale was not steady enough for him. 
Payson and Brightyn wanted in on the action.  At first Payson stood down, and studied the situation, the kids getting on and off,......and only then did he decide he would like to participate.  That kid is very methodical in his thinking. 
Walking back to the Property.  
Here we come !!
Another night we watched Brightyn and Payson while Kacey kept score at the baseball games.  
The kids had such a great time. 
Brightyn is quite the climber !
Makes Grandma a little nervous though.  She likes to look, but when Billy comes sniffing around her shoes......she wants NONE of that !
She loves the chickens.
Sometimes they can be quite noisy - check out the videos at the top of the page under FAMILY VIDEOS for some cuteness !
Kacey took the kids hiking today up near Snowbasin with her mom and Brittney.  Payson found alot of bugs, and brought them home.  Oh how these kids LOVE the BUGS !!  
He has no fear.  I sure hope he never catches a bee or earwig, because he handles them freely !
Hi - meet my friend caterpillar !!
We have a little cottontail bunny that likes to hang out under our pine tree in the front yard.  Brightyn spotted it, and we went round and round the tree trying to catch up to it.  
Then Payson got in on the action, and we chased it over to Vern's field next door.

Be sure and check out a bunch of cute short videos at the top of the page under Family Videos.  There are videos to go along with most of the pics I've posted today.
