Love our Life - Love our Family

Do we look like we are sitting in a boat on the river?
HAHA  - we are not.  We are standing on the Welch Ditch Dam, taking a selfie.
Looking South - to our rear is the backed up East Canyon Creek.
I was glad that Roger was such a good sport, and even SMILED !!
My beautiful cucumber plant that has provided me POUNDS and POUNDS of cucumbers, which I've made into my cucumber salad over and over again.  I'm hoping I get another picking before they are gone. 
#44  - Treyson, still playing football.
His last game is this Saturday.  Unfortunately they have lost too many games to make it into the playoffs. 
This is up in North Logan, can't remember the name of the new high school, but it's a NICE ONE.
Look at that beautiful TURF field, which surprisingly, isn't as fun to play on as you would think. It is HOT and HARD. 
Me and Bright, and Grandpa in the background. 
After Treyson's football game in North Logan, we traveled down to SOUTH Salt Lake (South Jordan), to watch Pays play some baseball.  
It was a lovely time, relaxing under the shade.  The girls play so nicely, and it's enjoyable for the most part. 
Bright even found some dirt, which they proceeded to turn into a mud puddle :)
Bexlee just walks around, minding her own business. 
Petting Lola :)
There's our boy (with the mitt) 
After the game with Dad (Landon) 
THEN..........after a day of football and baseball, we went to Nathan and Jaidyn's wedding reception at the Cross E Ranch in North Salt Lake/Woods Cross.  It was pretty neat !
Had to take a picture of this - hoping Zac and Rog can make a playground for our goats (haha) 
Look at the man with the machete !
We got all of the corn taken out from the garden.  Made a few bundles for decoration, and fed the remainder to the goats  and Miss Piggy (stalks)  and chickens (ears)
Crazy brother - now you see Treyson.............
........now you DON'T !!!!!!!
Helping Dad (Zac) with the new lawnmower
CJ had surgery, so I took over some dinner one night.  A favorite, grilled cheese and tomato soup!!
Went to the temple with LuAnn, Georgia, and Sharlene
Was able to print out my own name right from my phone app.  Pretty amazing.  
The frost in on the Punkin'.................
So we will be taking them out soon at our annual Pumpkin Gathering Party. 
This is Tagg's football float at homecoming
I can't see which one is him though.
My phone died by the time Treyson came along :(
Foggy morning in Morgan
All the cabbages harvested from the garden.  The biggest one on the scale weighed 20 pounds.  It was bigger than a basketball.  We got them all delivered. 
Zac and CJ took a "General" ride up Hardscrabble with the boys.
Notice Thatcher sitting on the new seat the Zac built. 
Somebody is going in the CREEK!!!!
And you will never guess in 1 million years who has taken up KNITTING !?!?!?!?!
And Painting !?!?!?!?!?!

Any guesses?
Manda and Bren, that's who !!
Good job guys, way to branch out and try new things :)
Cam is going to HOMECOMING this week with Josiah.
Can't wait to hear all about it and see the pics too :)
Landon has been traveling traveling traveling.
First week was New York, Boston, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Virginia area.

Next week was Texas, St. Louis and BACK to Texas.
Guess who is living in Texas? 
Elder Sanchez and his wife.
10 years later, they meet up again :)

LOVE THIS !!!
Someone is having a great time...............
Love you Cam
Can hardly wait to meet Josiah in a few weeks :)

Hardscrabble Mine 4-wheeling Adventure

Before we went on the ride, we had lunch at the Property mid-day.
Here is most of the Crew - left to right.
Erika standing, Tiana and Thatcher sitting, Brian, Colton, Tagg, Lance, Treyson, Manda, Camryn, Cameron.
Cam and Blakeley got to ride on the cushions in the back of Zac's Ranger
Landon drove Shirlee and Jim's Ranger (thanks guys for sharing!), with Brian (goggles) and Erika.  Kacey drove her dad's yellow 4-wheeler, with Payson in front. 
Rog drove our Ranger, and I sat in front.  Bright and Thatcher in the rear.
Me and Cameron Claussen
Ready to cross the creek (see video below)
Brendon drove the rented Razor from TRAX, with Manda beside him, and Lance and Tiana in the rear.  We missed Colton, he didn't want to come on our 4-wheeling MINE adventure. 
Bettinson Bunch made it up to the mine !
So did Grandma Ben !!
Awesome 80 years old
(Mom and Dad stayed down this time......I don't think they wanted to chance a broken hip for the Birthday party)
Our shadows
Throwing Rocks in the mine
Landon and Grandma

It is really a steep little climb up to the mine.
We all needed a little (lot) help from Zac and Landon


Looking down into beautiful Hardscrabble Canyon (in the background), you can see just how high up on the mountain the mine actually is. 
Brian's thumb was our only casualty
Thistle in repose :)
Watching someone? coming down the only scary hill. (see in the background?)
Kacey had TWO riders on the way out.



We had sandwiches in Arthur's Fork
Bright and Thatcher
Our Biggies (as opposed to the Littles)
Dad and Mom with the Bettinson crew (Bren in the background)
These two...........  So much fun
Who's the poser?  
Blakeley and Cam
Beautiful teens
And throwing rocks was going great till Bright caught one in the back...... Dang
Bren, Manda, and Landon
We had SUCH a great time.
