It's been awhile...........shall we play "Catch Up"?

They have turned the old Valley Implement (it will always be that to me), into a tumbling studio.  Thatcher has started going there once a week.  Shersti Walkter (Mark and Janene's daughter is one of the teacher/owners.  You can stand outside and watch through the windows.  

This was in late January - Still snow on ground...............

Brotherly Advice 

Tagg really gets into the game.
Many of the basketball games have been "double booked" on Saturdays, so we have to divide and conquer. 

We don't have this as much as we used to, but the kids still love it - Grandpa Roger's famous macaroni and tomato juice. 

The weather kept getting warmer and warmer, and the snow all melted (that was until yesterday), when we got hammered again.  Guess it's still WINTER !!

Rog and Zac are working hard to get Kenzie's new house all fixed up.  She hopes to move in by the end of February. 

Landon came up and brought Hadli and Brightyn one evening, and we had a great time.
Payson was over at Thatcher's for Thatcher's birthday "friend" party, and Kacey was having a girl's night.   

Brightyn is doing gymnastics/tumbling too.  Here are her SPLITS !!  Go Bright !!

My famous pizza, makes for good leftovers !!

Treyson is # 27.  He's been taking a strength and agility training class from Jeremiah Bean, and has really improved.  He is a layed back player, but has learned to contribute, and doesn't mind taking a shot when he gets the chance.  

We were able to go and see Landon and Kacey's new house.  It's almost finished.  It is located in West Haven.  Everything will come together at once......... New House..........New Baby.......... Two closings...........(sell old/buy new)  Crazy times !!
Landon is in Philadelphia today for meetings.  Hope he gets back soon.

Zac and Roger working to get the Welch Ditch diversion dam outlet cleaned out for repair. 

Kenzie's kitchen is coming along 

We celebrated TWO birthdays.  Thatcher and Tagg, who turned 6 and 10.
This is the FAMILY party

Tagg is getting so handy in many things.  I think he has ALOT of Zac in him.  He's helping with Kenzie's home. 

Grandpa D checking out Zac's idea for the Welch Ditch Dam Diversion

Had a great morning with my friends from the West Porterville Ward Relief Society Presidency. 

More basketball - Advice from Dad

Thatcher and his friend CJ - hanging out at the basketball games 

 New flooring is done, and also the barn "bedroom" door hung.  This has got Zac excited (hopefully) to hang the barn door in their bedroom (leading to the bathroom) at their home.  

Fun things - Payson and Brightyn went to the aquarium.  This is in the bottom of the Layton Hills Mall, and it is really awesome.  

Tagg visited the State Capitol for a field trip.  Can you spot him?  Look over Representative Wilde's left shoulder, and up a little bit. 

Grandma Carol had a sleepover, the grandkids sure had fun there.  

Nana Daw made Thatcher a hat and scarf on her new knitting machine !  Yahoo !!

More basketball - a little brotherly one on one. 

Cam went to Disneyland with her Theater group from school.  They had a great time. 

Manda and Bren's beautful tree in their backyard. 

Somebody wishes she was back at Disney !!
