Baby Chicks

This year, we did it differently.  Roger and I were the only ones who went and got the baby chicks.  We got all the same ones, barred rocks.  The kids came up, and saw them for the first time another day. 
No one chose "their own" - there were no names given......  I don't think Zac's kids have even seen them yet.  
In fact, they are grown big enough, we threw them in with the other chickens, and they are doing well.  
My last post was March 31st, and here it is, May 15th.  Hopefully I can get caught up.

Catch Up (sometimes it seems that is all I do)

The baby chicks are GROWING
Building a wall............. it begins.
Roger D. isn't here......CJ has to step in (haha)
It was an EXPERIENCE, that's for sure. 
Got the PEAS planted on April 13th (I think)
They are slowly peaking their heads through the soil.
Finally getting at crafts from Christmas
An EXPERIMENT........can we get an EGG to FLOAT??
Yes we can !!!
More wall building...............
Always something going on.
It's fun to work together as a family. 
Another project - Bird house !!
Roger's mower...........throwing up !!
I said, "Can't you at least do that on the GRASS?"

Who's that young buck in FRONT??
Kings Peak (High Uintahs) Scout trip - 2004
Love to see old pics I didn't have.  This one was given to me by Amanda Thackeray.  She found it as she was cleaning out things.  So glad she took the time, and didn't just toss it. 
This is the desk that Zac built for Thatcher's gymnastics office.  Didn't it turn out great ??
We helped him build some walls down there over the Easter weekend.  The boys has such a great time playing on all of the trampolines, and such in a huge empty gym while we worked.  They worked too - it was a TEAM EFFORT. 
Someone needs a HAIRCUT :)
And the wall goes on.......................
Mom hurt her wrist pretty badly in a fall.
It's not broke, but it sure hurts, and the doctor put her in a splint thing.
She will have to have physical therapy probably. 
Back to the chickens...........
And the chicken farmer...........

FUN times, trying to get them back in the top part of the coop (where it's warm/there is food and water), when they can't figure it out by themselves.   Thank goodness it doesn't take them long to learn.  Thank goodness Roger is a good chicken farmer :)
Cool Round Valley morning - time to clean ditch !
The Rich bunch is ready to go.
Good job DONE !!  Only took about 2 hours with all of the help.
The boys came away with a 5 GALLON BUCKET full of balls that they found.
Michael (far right) my cousin, always gives the boys such a bad time.  He is SUCH a tease.  He sure reminds me of his dad Uncle Larry, who used to give ME a bad time.  When I told the boys that his dad (Uncle Larry) had died when Michael was younger than Thatcher, it really made them think (and feel a little sad).  We take so many things for granted.
Love my cousins !  Richard, Michael and "quiet" Troy were there this morning.
Then it was DOWN to see Payson play some BALL !!

First base this time.  They move him around pretty good, and that's a good thing.  He really likes it, and oh how we miss the days when Landon played.  FUN TIMES :)
Then back for some more garden planting.  This time it's tomatoes.
Trying something different this years with the walls of water.
We are pretty much doing the garden this year, with Dad's health declining.  Glad to step in.
Started the burn pile on fire (before the fire season closes)
This was an earlier picture - so much clean up this year.  Roger and Zac worked hardest (and mostly alone).
Easter pic for BRIGHT
And BEX
And PAYSON !!
Cute Easter pic from the RICHS
Thatcher wasn't feeling well, and TALON is a good buddy.
Zac and CJ's boys have had a lot of sickness this Spring.  Alot of school missed.
Sure hope things improve. 
Payson ran in some kind of Sports Run at his Elementary School.  We were able to go down last year and support him, but couldn't make it this year.   There he goes !!
Look at those RED CHEEKS !!
35 laps !!  - I can't remember, at least 2+miles I think. 
Good Job Pays !!
Landon had 4 teeth removed on April 26th.
Poor guy........
Cam's post on Instagram about her MOM - Love it !!
Tagg and CJ went to the Zoo together ALONE
They had a great time. 
More baseball for PAYS............
Not good - HIT BY PITCH !!

And that about wraps April up..........I'll try to do better in May, but I'm not promising anything.  It's crazy at my work, and I'm scrambling to get my Assessment Roll complete this year.   Crazy life we lead.  Read the Book of Mormon !!  I calms the crazy, I promise :)

Sleepover with the Littles (and one Biggie)

I think the thing that the grandkids will remember me for the most, is the cooking that we do.
I let them help, and teach them things, and they are so smart, and love to help.
We had grilled cheese sandwiches (above)
And tomato soup (here) - this is one of their favorites.............right after my famous Pizza, and Roger's famous Macaroni and Tomato Juice.  I hope they remember these times forever.  
Tagg will remember this for sure, bless his heart.  He dropped the Chocolate Milk powder, and sure felt bad.  The Littles,  got their fingers wet, and got a few LICKS in before Grandpa cleaned it up with the vacuum.  No use crying over split chocolate !!!
Then we cut up the rest of the sugar cookies we made the other day.    We used Easter cutouts, and made rabbits, and eggs, and flowers, and butterflies. 
Then we decided to boil eggs so we could color them.  Bright planted her little self right in front of the stove, so she could keep and eye on them............and also SNEAK a little frosting.  
Then the boys went over to watch some TV, and she helped me fill the plastic eggs...............or I guess I should say, SHE did all the work.  She did such a great job, and everytime one would give her problems, she would say, "This is just so COMPLICATED".   She is determined and smart. 
Then she frosted this beautiful butterfly sugar cookie.  Look at those EYES and SMILE !?!?!   I loved it. 
This is the next morning, before we left the house.  Payson checking out the chicks.
He is bound and determined that they need a chicken coop at THEIR house. 
We dropped him off at home, and saw this cutie patootie - Bexlee Boo.  She was all smiles and hugs and kisses. 
Payson was STILL counting out his money.................he wants his own chicken coop SO BAD !!
It was a GREAT time with the Grands.
