A look back on our week

For my DIL's and all the other School at Home moms

Guess what we got in the mail this past week?
A Christmas card that was mailed on December 21, 2019 - Seriously?? 

This made me laugh out loud !

This is so neat !  And now they've added a red heart in the middle/top of the "M"

Tomato and Cabbage, started from seeds 

Getting the greenhouse ready

The mighty sprayer and his side kick - HA !!

Zac and CJ had some "porch pictures" taken

We've moved the plants to the greenhouse - now it's a fine dance........trying to keep them WARM, but not TOO WARM. 

The boys, getting the new sprinkling system for the trees in place.  Sure hope this works, and will save Grandpa dragging a hose this summer. 

Peek-a-boo - we SEE YOU MISS BEXLEE
We drove down on Saturday afternoon to drop off some kids books, and Bex was the only kid home with Mom and Dad.  Bright and Pays were off to Jordyn's playing.  

And here's another one that made me LAUGH OUT LOUD !

Odds and Ends from the past week

Meeting at the Courthouse - practicing Social Distancing
We are now locked down in the Courthouse (no outside entry from the public) - but are still there working, and helping the public through phone, email, and snailmail.

Treat from Janell's husband 

The Yard Master (and crew) have begun to MOW !!!

I fixed a great roast and potatoes in a NEAT old roaster pan that I got from Jenni.  

I enjoyed General Conference so much !!
I watched a little on the computer, and also "cast" my phone onto the TV.  Thank goodness for technology. 

We planted a row of peas in the garden in between conference sessions on Saturday. 

Found a picture of my Great Great Grandmother.
Mette Margrete Juulsdaughter Peterson
It was taken in Richville, prior to 1919 (when she died)
She was my Grandma Dickson's (Anona) maternal Grandmother.
She was born in Denmark in 1834

Fun MEME I saw.  I'm getting tired of it though - anyone else? 

A backpack for hiking !
Landon and Kacey and kids have been doing alot of bike riding lately with the kids. 

Cam and her friend - sure miss that girl.  

Another MEME, which is exactly what happened !  

We got new windows at the courthouse.  They started at 7:30 am and it was COLD!!  In the 30's when they started.  We were glad when the sun came up and warmed things up.  

Landon found Payson and Bright (by themselves) - writing a list of things to do. SO SWEET.
Here is Payson's list.
1. Don't whine
2. Be Nice
3. Listen to Mom and Dad
4. Help Bexlee and Brightyn when they need it
5. Sleep in room at night
6.  Be a good brother 

I think this is ALSO Payson's list.
Love the "Help old people", and I think MOM added "Don't be annoying"

Windows all done !!

Our chickens sure are different !
Look at the difference in the size of eggs.

Then there are just the WEIRD ones......
Yuck - whose old thumb is that !?!?! 

We've changed up the greenhouse, and cut it down in size.

Another fun MEME - Ya, this just about sums it up. 

The Yardmaster hard at work

He didn't want this picture taken :)

Treyson had just been for a ride around "the block"
The block is SOUTH on Hwy 66 to the Lane, then North on MVD to the "Y", then East on Young Street to State Street/Hwy 66, then SOUTH to home.  His dad ran along with him. 

Thatch is still doing gymnastics at home each day on ZOOM

We had a guy come and pull some poly pipe so that the watering of the trees at Grandpa's and Zac's could be done on the sprinkling system instead of by hand. 

You should see this kid do handsprings (front and back), and tucks, and fulls, and layouts, and gainers........ and a bunch of things that I don't even know what they are.  

Getting the burn pile ready to go. 

It was a nice day, but windy.  Alot of the farmers were burning their ditches. 

If the sun was shining, and the wind wasn't too bad, it was fairly pleasant in the sun.
These two got all of the toys back out of the shed, and a little water, and had a nice time.
We also got all of the little lights put up along side of the road to the Property, and also the grills and tables set back up under the bowery, and the kitchen/bathroom un-winterized. 

We roasted some hot dogs and had lunch. 

Smashing little voles/gophers.  They sure did a number on the lawns this past winter. 

I made JELLO JIGGLERS (Easter colors)  for all of the grandkids, and we took them down to West Haven for the kids.  Sure hope they liked them.  We stayed outside, and didn't get too close, but the kids kept creeping up on us........   We are planning a HUGE sleepover when this COVID junk is done.  Can't happen soon enough !!!

Brightyn showing off her blood blister that Bexlee "gave" her, and Pays and Bex showing their wooden eggs that the neighbor made and gave them.  

Also, Bexlee fell on the garage steps a few days ago, and hurt her mouth.  She was pretty proud to let Payson show it off.
 We sure miss our grandkids........  

And last but not least - Bright's list.  TOO CUTE
1.  Help everybody when when are sad
2. Make money
3. Help Everyone
4. Love Everyone
5. Do Math
6?
7. Smile Everytime
8. Make new friends

Some of our Weekend

This is actually a picture of a painting.  It is one of many that hangs in the hallways at the Salt Lake County building.  I had a class down there on Thursday.  This picture reminds me of mom and dad, but not so old.  Anyway, I think my parents look alot younger than these two.  But I really LOVE this picture, and I love my parents. 

This neat wagon is only $55 in Costco.  Wish we had tons of money, and could just buy it for no reason at all for my grandkids. 

Friday Night Lights - Landon brought the kiddos up to watch.  Kacey was at the hospital with her Grandma and Grandpa Vern.  He is doing better, thank good ness.  Brightyn was kind of sleepy at first. 

Go Joni !!   

Structura came up and everyone got massages after their workout - how great is that? 

The kids had fun climbing and playing on the boxes.  They know NO FEAR !!
J.P. Audrey's little girl (I can't remember her name), Payson, Cason, and Casen's little brother (they are Tiffany and Korey Adam's boys)

Brightyn even got in on the action - That's Landon reaching out to catch her. 

Kicking balls around is fun - but NOT the Wall Balls - they are too heavy !

Zac brought home a stack of pallets, to use in making the tree house. 

We helped Dad get his greenhouse up and going. 

Treyson was practicing Whittling. 

Tagg removing nails.

They found 24 golf balls in the field, and Tagg could hardly wait to take them back to the neighbors. 

Grandpa helping Treyson with his whistle that he whittled. 

My recommend to go to the Provo Temple Dedication on Sunday.  It was great !
