Our Life Lately

Cam is headed out to Hawaii today for a vacation with Auntie Ann, Auntie Christine, and cousin Hannah.  She has been so looking forward to this, and promises to send lots of pics.  They drove from Chandler to San Diego yesterday, and left this morning on the plane for Hawaii.  She's going to have SO MUCH FUN !!!  Cash and Mom (and Josiah) will sure miss her though. 

This picture was taken last Thursday night (September 22nd) at Treyson's JV football game.  CJ reminded us that it had been TWENTY YEARS that day, since she and Zac were in their accident (getting hit by a drunk driver at the intersection of 100 S. and State Street).  Where did all the years go?

After Tagg's ball game - it was great.  They played well, and won big.  Tagg plays Center on offense, and tackle or noseguard on defense. 

Last Friday afternoon we got all of the pumpkins and squash out of the garden, and all of the vines hauled down to the burn pile.  Unfortunately, due to the grandkids being involved in so many sports, we were on our own (Gwen, Roger, Veloy & Lee).  We hope to have a Harvest Party (chicken noodle soup in shop, and picking out pumpkins) this coming Sunday.  Our crop was about 1/3 of what it was last year.   

Cashman - "Hi Grandma! " 

Great picture from Morgan Sports Network (Benjamin Brown) - of Treyson getting a "tackle for loss" in the JV game last week against Ben Lomond.  I mistakenly said it was a "sack", but was corrected by those who know much more about football than I do.  I'm lucky to know if we are playing offense or defense......it drives Roger D. crazy !! 

Hi from ARIZONA again !!
Cash and Manda
I think they love each other :) 

These sweet girls are such good sisters.
As you can see, we were at Payson's early morning baseball game last Saturday at Rohmer Park in Washington Terrace.  It was SMILES all around !!! 

Hi Bentley Girl :) 

They won their game, and Payson was the catcher, and it is so fun to watch him.  Reminds us so much of Landon.  Such great old memories, and now NEW MEMORIES to be made!!! 

Thatcher played a good game against West Point, at Syracuse High School later in the afternoon last Saturday.  Picture this..... The score is 13 (Morgan) to 8 (West Point), 25 seconds left in the game, West Point is making a drive for a "last chance" touchdown, the ball is caught and the running back takes off towards the goal line.  Thatcher manages to catch him and bring him down on the 15 yard line, and SAVES the game!!  It was a GREAT MOMENT !! 

 

The Garden is winding down..........

Peas are long done.......... Cucumbers done, Corn done (Roger is just watering them to keep them green to feed to the goats)  Onions done, Tomatoes done

Sunflowers are looking beautiful

Next year I'll try and get them planted earlier

We wish the FROST would come and knock down the vines on the squash and pumpkins so we can have a Harvest Party, but with sports on Saturday, we may have to improvise this year. 

Still working on the carrots.  I pick a grocery bag full, and took them home and washed, peeled, and chopped them up and got (8) 2-cup bags for my efforts.  It took me a little over an hour. 

 

Where we can be found

Watching ball games !!
This is after the JV game at Morgan, where Treyson played against Juan Diego. 
There were smiles all around :) 

Just before that game, we had watched Tagg play in the Freshman Game. 

The next night we travelled to Juan Diego for the Varsity Game
It was a blowout in OUR favor ! 

Then on Saturday we watched Thatcher at Clearfield - it was HOT

Do you think these three are related?  HAHA

After Thatcher's game in Clearfield, we traveled to Washington Terrace and caught Payson's last game there !  Life is so so good :)

Our Bexlee

This girl deserves a post all of her own.  Bex has naturally curly hair, just like her mom.  Kacey has started to straighten it more, and I can't imagine what a chore that must be. 
Not sure where this picture was taken, it was shared by Grandma Carol.  I'm guessing it might have been right after Pre-school? 

Bex is SUCH a character.  I think she will take after her brother. 

Awe - LOVE THIS
Bex has started preshool again.  I'm not sure if she is going to Miss Sophie like she has in the past.....  I'll have to ask Kacey who Ms. Cherie and Ms. Tori are.  
Looks like she wants to be either a Mermaid, Ballerina, or Princess :)

 

The Littles are BUSY BUSY BUSY

Who are the Littles?  They are Thatcher, Payson and Brightyn.  I think now I should probably start calling them the "Middles", because with Cash and Bentley here, THEY are now the "Littles".  Poor Bexlee is all on her own. 

After football.

Dressing up out of Grandma Carol's Halloween box.

Can you even recognize this person?

Gonna be a catcher, just like his Dad

Cam and College

Cam has her own desk and computer/monitors set up in the "office" area of the home.  She started college at Mesa Community College on August 22nd.  It is all online learning. 

One of Bren's friends, Brent is helping her with the Math (thank goodness).

Manda, Cam, Josiah and Cash went to the Phoenix Museum the other day and had a great time, except for coming home got stuck in rush hour traffic for 40 minutes...........and Cash was screaming his head off :(   What a day !! 

 

Fun pics of the babies

 

Aren't they the sweetest?  They have both had a bout with Hand Foot and Mouth disease this past couple of weeks, and that was pretty miserable.  They are 8 and 9 months old now, sitting great, crawling all over, and pulling themselves up to things.  They are growing so fast !!
