The first week of May

Tagg has started playing minor league baseball.  Grandpa Jim is his coach.  This picture is after the first game.  Grandpa Roger is holding him down and teasing him, because Tagg had been holding Thatcher down and teasing him !
Getting ready for the Pinewood Derby 
Painting - it's a green color, because it's going to be a T-rex mobile !
Our new steel roof was put on.  We are very happy with it !
Thatcher got a new hat !
The night of the Pinewood Derby - hanging out in the malt shop. 
Once again, it was held in Jack Harris' big red barn. 
This boy is ready to rumble !
2nd place baby !
We got the Property all mowed, weed eated, sprayed, etc. etc.  Thatcher saw us from his house, and walked Tallon down to explore. 
Having a heart to heart - maybe about not letting Tallon pee on Grandpa Roger's leg !  Yes, it did happen a couple of days ago !!  We all got a great laugh out of that ! 
Thatcher and his bike he got for Easter. 
New roof - all done 
Enjoyng time with friends at a surprise birthday party for........

This boy love to read !  He has always got a book in his hands.  Even at soccer games.

We got us a lawn edger !   Looks so much better now.

Pinewood Derby Time

The boys and mom and dad (and Thatcher) - worked on their cars.
Tagg wanted a Cheetah designed.  Mom helped him a little with the painting. 
It helped that we had Grandpa D's scale in order weigh them just right.  
The derby was held in Jack Harris' "barn"  which is located in Porterville, near Grandma Ben's home.  What a beautiful place. 
All of the leaders were outfitted in racing shirts, courtesy of Brother Harris.  We all felt welcomed. 
There was a "snack bar", set up like an old time diner/soda shop - how fun !!
The boys had their cars, and the racing began.  
Grandma Ben came with us - her first outing out of the house after her operation.  We were so glad she came.  She was there to watch Tagg, Treyson, and J.P.   Joni and Kerry and grandkids were there too.   Also, Grandma Shirlee.
After many heats - Tagg and Treyson ended up racing each other !
Before the race - May the best car win !
There is Thatcher, right down there watching the action.  


After all was said and done, Tagg took 1st place, and Treyson took 3rd.
Here they are with Brother Harris and one of his fancy cars. 
Way to go boys !!
