Another Project - Part 1 (May)

Zac is never happier, than when he has a project.
Click here for a short video of Part 1

 

This is a post about dogs...........and a room

Sometimes this is a love/hate relationship
Today it is LOVE
Zac and Tallin/Talon (don't know how CJ spells it) 

The kids and CJ and Tanya took a walk with all the dogs up Hardscrabble one beautiful fall morning. 

Gunny and Tallin

Quite the DOG crew !!

Gunny is Thatch's favorite

And there is Miss Sophie, who would be Lucky's girlfriend if they could ever get together.  A couple of good old ancient grandpa and grandma doggies.  

And there's one of our Arizona doggies - Zoe
I guess I should really have some pics of Bandit and Lucky in this post........but I'm usually grumbling about them (meaning Bandit) instead of taking pics of them.  Dang dogs........

Here's the new dog room in the "barn"
Turned out really well.

The bathroom will have a barn door......

Fun times for the doggies
There is LOLA (Landon and Kacey's doggie)
CJ must have been tending her when I took this picture.  This was awhile ago, I think mid/end September. 

August - What's up so far

Landon worked out at the Morgan County Fair, with Crossfit Unknown.
It was fun to go and watch him one night.

Remaining Brothers and Sisters

Carol and Shanna have passed on

Landon trying to get his fence poles cleaned off.
He is going to build a fence like Zac's down at his house.  The poles were all dirty with oil and grease.  He put a de-greaser on this, and then hit them with a power/steam wash. 

Tagg with his coach (Jared Venz) at football practice.

Grandpa and his helper.
Cutting boards for shelving.

Breakfast - after our sleep over
Tagg is the master pancake cooker

Bright helped with the eggs !

Then she had to check out the goats.
She loves animals :)

There were left over cucumbers from Grandpa D's garden, and we slice them, and feed them to the goats and chickens

Cleaning out the dam.
Seems there is always something caught there.

Robo Man

Putting down the vinyl in the "dog room"

We bought new boards for the picnic table at the Property.
We worked to get them stained.

Thatcher planted a BEAN in his yard (out by the goat shed)
It GREW !!

Our life lately - June

We are still in the basement, while getting the upstairs remodeled.  Dinner around the small table is quite squishy. 

Lemonade/Treat Stands and Grandma Shirlee's 

Zac's shop is coming along (interior) 

All taped up, ready to paint. 

Happy Father's Day Grandpa - we'll clean up all of the dog poop for you :) 

The baby goats are done being bottle fed (by CJ and boys) - now back to our house, because they have figured out how to get out of their pasture, and onto the neighbor's yard.  We'll bring them back to our house until they are bigger. 

Bandit loves Tagg...........actually he pretty much loves everyone.  

Treyson went to Scout camp at Camp Bartlett for a week. 

He was sure glad to come home, and with only a small injury 

Painting went so well !!
LOVE IT 

Jeff baled the hay, and they boys had to have the usual picture taken on the big bales 

Helping Grandma D clean out the sand pile. 

Cutting down the low hanging branches..........

With me manning the tractor - SCARY DEAL !!!

Then Landon came, and it went mucho better.  Roger is a much better tractor driver than I am, that's for sure. 

Miss Bexlee watching me make sandwiches for the kiddos

Just a SWINGIN.............

Payson was fascinated with the owl pellets, and proceeded to disect them and get all of the bones out.  

Bexlee's first swing !!

All done - now off to the burn pile !

Paint turned out WONDERFUL !!

Practicing shooting - for the Hunter Safety Class.
They both passed their written tests, now for the shooting 

All can lights in, and working great. 

Miss Piggy got her toenails trimmed with a little help from the vet. 

I went to Assessor's Summer Workshop
Here I am with my good friend and fellow assessor, Amy Jo.

Here are all of the female Assessor's (who attended)
Kathleen Howell (Cache), Amy Jo Garren-Clark (Sevier), Me, Wendy Schubert (Tooele), Debbie Swasey (Grand), Buff Griffith (Wasatch), Cindy Bulloch (Iron) - in back, with Julie Medley (Carbon) 

Landon has started Payson an Instagram account for his baseball.

They were able to catch a Raptors game too
Looks a little chilly to me
