Misc. "Us" in July

Our lawn started coming back to life after no water for 3 months.  Wet well finally came online about June 19th.  It's sure been a dry summer.  Only rain we have had was on July 4th.

We had our cement slabs raised, to even out the settling.  We've been really pleased with the result. 

We took Mom's grapevine down.  Looks really nice. 

Love my sun flowers  - these came back from last year's flowers.
All of the seeds I planted (from seeds taken from two years ago heads) were a total bust.  Just like the rest of our garden.  I don't know if it's because the seeds are too old, or if it's because they are copies of copies (like Multiplicity  - IYKYK). 

We've washed our vehicles at the Property.  I helped the first time, but was lazy the second :)

I've been enjoying working at the temple on Wednesdays.  I started on April 9th, and haven't missed a Wednesday.  I really enjoy it. We get new "lines" this coming Wednesday. 

Roger helping me clean and wash (and vacuum) windows in preparation for our AZ guests. 

He also climbed a tree to cut down some small (5 inch in diameter) limbs that were getting in his way during mowing.  We can sure tell we are getting older, it is alot harder to do things.  It seems we always need to ask Zac to help with alot of things, and we don't like to bug him.  

Removed a few wasps nests. 

Had our asphalt redone by Ro Asphalt, owned by Peter and Ally Tonks Bridge.  They did a great job !

What's up with the Rich Gang in Morgan

Treyson is continuing his body building, preparing for a show later this year.  He is on the "CUT" now, so dropping everything but muscle.  He is so dedicated, it's impressive. 

Tagg went on a trip to Idaho with his friends.  Click here to see their fun. 

Zac has started ANOTHER project.  Check back for video.

Big Papa !  Tagg has been doing Football Camp for a week, which will end with the Maroon and White Scrimmage on June 4th. 

CJ, being the Senior "MOM" has alot of responsibility in all things football related.  She created this cool TROPHY for camp.  One lucky boy will be the G.O.A.T.   Guess who contributed the "goat" from my "play animal" stash for grandkids?  HAHA. 

Thatch has been playing recreation baseball - Click here for video

Dog tending continues.............

New shelves, new bed, newly pained room........... Yeah !!!!!

October Happenings - Me and Rog

Carrots are done ! 

Zac got his Washer/Dryer back in service.  Everything is painted, and they will just wait on the dog wash at this time. 

Cut down a few trees at the Property 

My Uncle Paul Porter died (he's my dad's sister's husband).  We went to the funeral in Bountiful.  Erika came with Eli (her first grandbaby)

One day Roger caught me sleeping in the car......
That mowing really takes it out of me. 

Speaking of mowing, here are Zac and CJ helping with blowing after mowing Elk Haven.  They have been a real big help in the afternoons. 

Winterizing the Property for winter. 

I got a new (used) day bed to put in the basement.  Now we can sleep 5 adults down there, along with a crib for the baby.  

We had to get a new fridge :(
I had pulled the old one (LG brand) to clean behind it, and I somehow jostled the compressor (which is known for having issues) and it quit.  It would have been over $1000 to fix it, and that's not including the compressors which was covered under warranty.  So we opted to get a new one.  $2500 :( 

Things are going great ! 

We were able to get the last loads of grass and leaves on the garden, and hopefully this will help with the dirt.  It was so dry this year.  

After seeing Landon's sleep apnea mouth piece (when he stayed with us for the big hike in the Grand Canyon), I made an appointment, and I've got one too !  So far it seems to be working very well.  I'm sleeping better!  Yahoo !!  

It holds my bottom jaw from dropping back during sleep, and blocking my airway.
