What's up with Zac and family?

Lots of helping mom with Ivory & Birch :)

Everyone gets in on the action.  Roger D does alot to help also. 

Thatcher has finished up baseball with the Tiburons (an Ogden team)

Utah History Fair Day at the Courthouse grounds, in cooperation with the DUP.
Here Thatcher and friends are watching a honeybee hive demonstration.  Shawnie Meacham (one of Landon's schoolmates) is his substitute teacher for the rest of the year (woman at the far right).  Some of the kids I know in the photo, are Crew Merrill (standing next to the Male leader - he was in our Primary Class), next to him an Archibald kid (in red) who used to live in our ward, then Thatcher, then Weston Judd (Garret's boy), then the tall kid is Body Nelson (Blake's kid).  The kid behind Thatcher with the ponytail is Kolby Kimbal's kid.  He and Thatch are really good friends. 

Tagg and Mason after their year end band concert. 

We got a call about an hour before the performance.  I think Tagg told his family when he got home from school THAT day - oh !  btw, I have a concert tonight.  

Click here for concert video - Tagg has a solo (on the ting tings per Grandpa Roger) at the end. 

Sorry these pics are sideways - I couldn't get them changed.  ZAC and CJ and Tagg and Thatcher went "Ranger/General Riding" up Chalk Creek and towards Whitney (in the Uintas) over the last weekend while we were in Arizona.  Click here to see Tagg do some of the driving.  They had a fun time 

A little odds and ends before Christmas is upon us

Manda, and Jessica and Therese have been baking away in preparation for Christmas ! 

See caption below...........

No seriously - it's gray and I'm loving it. 

Landon is still coaching at West Haven Crossfit.  Apparently they have some fund raiser going on, and he and the other coaches may have to do 100+ burpees before it's done (YIKES!!!)

Tagg had a Christmas Concert
He's in the percussion section 

Brightyn SEWED this cute pink elephant ALL BY HERSELF in her sewing class !   Way to go Bright !!

I'm getting pretty fancy in my baking.  These are Pioneer Woman's Red Velvet Cookies. 

Tagg came up with this (I think it was a school assignment)  It's going on the Yard Master's Facebook Page FOR SURE !!!

Tagg has started recreational basketball - he likes it and has fun. 

Treyson and friend messing around down at the Property

Tagg and Thatcher messing around in the snow at home

Someone ALOT warmer than we are in AZ.........
Come on Cam - be brave......come on up here !!!!

Thatch started little league wrestling.
There was a tournament at Fremont High, and we tried to sneak in..........but short of LYING (which we wouldn't do), we weren't let in :(

Our life lately

Lucky got his SUMMER haircut.
Bandit doesn't quite know what to think.
Lucky is 13 years old this summer.  I feed him an aspirin in the morning and in the evening to help with his hip pain. They are good dogs, even though Bandit annoys me most of the time.  

Last Saturday we were able to get some more weed spraying done. 

The new sprayer we had purchased the previous summer was leaking (already !?!?!) so Zac went to work and rebuilt the components, and it will NEVER leak again!

We were finally able to get down to see the kids, and check out the awesome playhouse Landon and Kacey built.  10 hours over 3 days (Memorial Day Weekend), saved themselves $600 in costs. They did a great job, and it's so sturdy !   I climbed upon in the one end, and let me tell you, that thing is solid.  They littles LOVE it. 

Landon and Roger, checking out the new sod, Yard looks great !! 

We soon heard Miss Bexlee on the monitor, and in the house we went.  Here she is all trussed up like a burrito - her FAVORITE way to sleep :)

Super Sisters

Grinning at Grandpa

A little help from Dad

This was in church on Sunday when Bexlee was blessed.

Yummy dinner after blessing.
These cute girls.
Braelyn, Harper, Brightyn, Hadlee

Brightyn said (after the group pic), now Grandma, take just MY picture, and when I raised my camera, she does her POSE.  Such a cute sweet loving girl !!

The other day I was heading west on Young Street, near the East Canyon bridge, when a Mama and Daddy Goose, brought their 10 babies up on the road.  I stopped clear back aways, and zoomed my camera in.  I thought they would cross the road, but they changed their minds, and turned around and headed back in to the creek.
