Football "Family" Float

On Friday, August 1st, the entire Morgan High Football team met at the Property for a day of fun, floating the creek, volleyball, cornhole, tetherball, swinging, eating over 240 hotdogs.....
They came in shifts from about 11 am to 3:30.  They were divided into "Families" to help to unify the team.......Senior to Freshman.  Roger and I cooked the hot dogs.  It was a really good day.  CJ worked so hard to get this put together.  She should be proud.

July for the Rich Family

Treyson is working hard, and holding strong.  His determination is amazing. 

Tagg is going FOOTBALL strong ! 

Got roasted in the pool one day. 

BTW - they are enjoying the pool for sure.
Here Thatch is with friends. 
Even the dogs are enjoying it ! Click here to see their antics 

Zac built an awesome deck, and Thatcher and Tagg painted it.

Thatcher has started his last year of "Little League" football.

He has also enjoyed floating the creek with friends.

Tagg and Bo went to the Pioneer Days Rodeo in style !

 

The Project continues, this time, branching into the "wood shop", because CJ needed more room that was taken away from her "dog room" for Treyson's upcoming studio apartment

Summer so far

I get to go visit (tend) this little one tomorrow, until Friday.  Manda is in the middle of helping Dr. Conti get his office up and running, and I'm glad to help :)  

Tagg played in the Maroon and White scrimmage last Friday, and he is looking good !
Click here to see a video of his playing. 

We've got the Property all spruced up and looking good for the summer. Bring on the parties !! 

The garden is looking better.   I think we'll take the walls of water off this evening. 

I met a little friend of Bexlee's.  She is Penny Taylor's grand daughter. 

Rich Lawn Care is mowing like crazy !  Seems like we are refilling gas cans all the time. 

They put the dam in the creek, and it was too high, and blew out...........

My sunset picture was featured on KSL !!! 

We've got 24 inches in the wet well.  Not enough to keep the sprinklers going continually, but we'll take what we can get. 

Thatcher is finished up with baseball.  He sure had a fun season.  Coach Lance Johnson was awesome with his team.  Recreation ball was never so fun !  Thatcher played first until they figured out he did such a great job at catcher.  It seemed he always had a smile on his face :)  And that's what counts in my book.  His hitting improved, and he even got a home run (on errors) !

How many men does it take to set Grandma's sprinklers?  
HAHAHAHAHAA

 

AZ gang comes to visit for 3 weeks !!

Cash feeding Chi Chi with help from Cam !
Cam surprised us by coming, we didn't think she was going to be able to because of work, but she was able to stay for 3 days !! 

The day they arrived, we had Bexlee and Bright and Pays for the weekend too ! 

This girlie is a light in our lives.

She LOVES LOVES LOVES animals, and wants to be a VET when she grows up. 

Miss Bexlee

The kids love to swing, and I always have to SING about the MEAN OLD CLOWN

Rog taught Pays how to use the zero turn mower

Manda's hip has been hurting her so badly.
It's hard for her to walk.  

Hanging out on the back patio.

I took the kids down the creek, as the only ADULT !
That won't happen again.  Too nerve wracking !!

Beautiful girls

We got an outdoor firepit (second hand) - thought we would use it more than we did.
Notice Cam has her laptop..........she had to do college work while here. 

The boys were totally captivated. 

Cash helped Bex and I make cupcakes !

Bright got sick to her stomach, and I could honestly do nothing for her.
She ended up going back to Carol's for the night. 

Cash is a good eater.

We had a couple of parties at the Property while Manda and family were here.

Tubing the creek is the BEST

Glad Tausha could come with the boys while Chans was off hiking in the Wind Rivers.
She didn't feel the best, but was a real trooper

Ready to go AGAIN!!
