More Space Station fun

I don't get it, but these boys sure do.  Something to do with online gaming. 

Landon is sure a sport :) 

 

Kings Peak Hike

On July 25th and 26th and 27th - These two were supposed to hike Kings Peak.  The highest point in Utah.  But then plans changed.

See that mountain in the very middle, in the far background?  That's King's Peak.  See Payson in the foreground?  After he and Landon and Kacey and the other hiked into "base camp" on Friday, in preparation for Saturday's summit, Pays and Lando got sick with back colds, so they ended up staying back at "basecamp" while the others went ahead with the hike. 

Not feeling the best 

This was the day before (Friday)
Landon, Kacey, Payson and friend. 

This is the whole group who planned on making the Summit.  

Probably a sheep herder's dog?  They are the best. 

Sick boy 

First day. 

There's a smile :) 

Quite the trooper  - even with a broken wrist. 

 

RIM TO RIM and............ RIM TO RIM TO RIM

These four are troopers !
Pretty amazing accomplishment.

Polar Plunge at Pineview

Landon and friends are a little bit crazy !!

IN THE DARK?!?!?!

They stayed in the water for 3 minutes - like I said, CRAZY !!! 

More Deer Hunters............but sadly no deer :(

No deer, but fun times were had by all

Baseball finishes up

Payson had a baseball tournament in Idaho Falls in early June.  We were able to meet up with Lynette, and it was so good see her.  She was also watching her grandson who is older than Payson, play baseball that day, but came over to catch the last part of Payson's game.  Afterwards we had dinner at Chick-filet. 

We shared a room with Landon and Payson at a nearby hotel. 

Here is the team.  I was able to get to know the names/numbers of the kids on the team a little bit better.  They are a good group of boys, and Landon is a good coach. 

He also coaches Brightyn's baseball team !  
This night we went to a game was COLD !!

Cool and windy, as a storm was blowing in - but this girl was all smiles. 

I sure wish I would have had my phone out for the last play of the game, where the ball was hit to her, and she grabbed it, ran to first, and got the runner out. 

Bexlee plays T-ball too, and you guessed it - Landon is her coach.
We went to one of her games (see below), where it was much warmer.

Grandma Ben went with me, and we played with Bentley.
I don't have any still shots of Bexlee playing T-ball, but I do have a bunch of videos.  I need to get them put together, and post on You Tube.  

 

What's up with Landon and Family?

I already did the post about Brightyn's baptism - but I thought  I would mention that it was so neat she was able to go to the State Capitol and have her picture taken among the beautiful blossoms. 

Bentely's little toes - so sweet.
Daddy (Landon) said she got his BIG BIG toes :)

So sweet with blue eyes and strawberry blonde/red hair !

Such a happy baby 

Bright and her friend Zaidy? at Chaos Fitness for kids.
She is going to grow up strong - loving this !! 

Payson is an awesome pitcher.   Click here for some video of him playing ball. 

A couple of Saturdays ago, LuAnn and I were able to run down to Payson's game, watch a little while, and then took Bright with us to Hayleigh Frost's baby shower in Corrine (long way away !!).  Here is a cute pic with LuAnn and Bright (her great grand daughter, and a couple of her GREAT GREAT grand-daughters) - Jaylee and Gracie -  they are Caiti's kids.  Sweet little girls. 

Bright was glad to see Aunt Lynette (down from Idaho) - she couldn't remember her, but I tell you now, she'll never forget her.  Lynette is always so fun, and makes such a big deal of the kids.  We love her.   

There were these cute mini- cupcakes that were made up to look like succulents.  I think Bright must have have 6-7 of them !! 

She also got to play on a fun toy at the playground - click here for video 

Then it was back to catch the last of Payson's double header.

Bexlee has finished up her year of Preschool with Miss Sophie

I don't know about that look on Bentley's face !  HAHA

Bex took a picture of Landon making dinner - he cooked up what he thought were hamburgers on the grill...........then found out it was sausage.........so improvised with scrambled eggs to go with it :)
Kacey was working.  She preps for neighbor Yvonne's cooking blog. 

The kids are out of school now, and they were "flipping" with excitement. 

Then THIS happened at Pays last Baseball Game - OH NO !!! 
Everything turned out okay with Bright though - thank goodness !! 

 

The day after we got home from Arizona, Landon had to travel there for work, and he stayed at Manda's for the night.  He sent me this picture to make me jealous - him lovin' on Cash. Love it ! 

Payson - last day at school - fun crazy activities

I've tried everything I know how to get this picture fixed right side up, but to no avail :(  You'll just have to tip your head sideways........Bright and Bexlee at Yvonne's, sampling some of her great food !

Spring Training !!

Landon and Payson headed out a couple of weeks ago to sunny Arizona, to watch MLB Spring training, and also Payson's Dominica team play in a tournament.  Pays had turned 10, and wasn't able to participate, but he enjoyed cheering on his team.  

It was hard to contain the jealously when they facetimed with little Cash !!
They stayed at Manda and Bren's and used an uber to get around.  

Doesn't that look great !!  Just love big nice ball fields. 

They had a great time, and were home just long enough to pack another bag and head to St. George for more baseball tournaments.  This time Payson could play !!  Stay tuned for the next post about that !
