 |
| We sure had a fun time hanging out with the girlies while Payson played ball. I took about a "jillion" pics and videos, and condensed it down to THIS GEM. |
 |
| The first day they played was Payson's 13th birthday. His tooth was hurting when he drank water, or the cold air blew on it. They took him to the dentist after his first two games on Friday. |
 |
| He is an awesome catcher, just like his dad ! |
 |
| We love love love to watch him play :) |
 |
| Looked alot better the 2nd day. |
 |
| We left after the first game on Saturday, dang it we missed his double. Landon said, "He ripped a double in the gap that the outfielders couldn't get to. Rolled to the fence. He was stoked!" Click here to see highlights of Payson's baseball game ! |
 |
| Roger and I and my sister Erika left on Friday, February 21st and drove to Vegas, where Erika and I saw Donny Osmond in concert ! It was excellent. Thank you Kuk :) We dropped her off at the airport early Saturday morning, then Rog and I headed to AZ !!! |
 |
| This was where we got to see our Arizona grandkids, Cash and Cam. It was great to see Manda, Bren, and Josiah too (haha) Amanda is just about 2 1/2 weeks recovered from her 2nd hip replacement, and is doing so well, I almost forget she had it done !! |
 |
| We headed back to Vegas and Mesquite, and on the way we hiked in the Valley of Fire State Park, a couple of days later we hiked in Zions National Park also. Roger humored me, and I really love and appreciate his support in the things I want to do. |
 |
| I also went to the new Red Cliffs Temple in Washington, and the Las Vegas Temple too. |
 |
| Our last two days were spent in St. George and Hurricane, watching Payson play baseball, and hanging out with these cuties ! |
 |
| Pays is such a great ball player, and we love to watch him and give him our support. He turned 13 years old while we were there !!! We got home on Saturday, March 1st. We haven't had that long of a vacation since our Hawaiian Cruise in October of 2007. We had a great time, but are glad to be home. |
 |
| Bexlee has been playing basketball. It has been fun to watch her. Click here to watch a video |
 |
| Payson won a championship baseball game with his team, the Vipers. We were able to go down to South Weber and watch the game. He is catcher, and is so so good, just like his daddy. Click here to watch the highlights. |
 |
| The girlies came up and we had a sleepover, painted pumpkins, swung on the swing, you name it, we had alot of laughs and fun times. Even sister, Bentley spent a few hours with us. It was a real treat :) |

 |
| Tagg played in the Maroon and White scrimmage last Friday, and he is looking good ! Click here to see a video of his playing. |
 |
| We've got the Property all spruced up and looking good for the summer. Bring on the parties !! |
 |
| The garden is looking better. I think we'll take the walls of water off this evening. |
 |
| I met a little friend of Bexlee's. She is Penny Taylor's grand daughter. |
 |
| Rich Lawn Care is mowing like crazy ! Seems like we are refilling gas cans all the time. |
 |
| They put the dam in the creek, and it was too high, and blew out........... |
 |
| My sunset picture was featured on KSL !!! |
 |
| We've got 24 inches in the wet well. Not enough to keep the sprinklers going continually, but we'll take what we can get. |
 |
| Thatcher is finished up with baseball. He sure had a fun season. Coach Lance Johnson was awesome with his team. Recreation ball was never so fun ! Thatcher played first until they figured out he did such a great job at catcher. It seemed he always had a smile on his face :) And that's what counts in my book. His hitting improved, and he even got a home run (on errors) ! Click here for a video |
 |
| How many men does it take to set Grandma's sprinklers? HAHAHAHAHAA |
 |
| Cash went to another fun place to play - I think in this pic, he's in a wind tunnel sort of contraption. Looks like he's enjoying it ! With Manda working from home, they have hired a Nanny, and they are working through all that it entails. Cash is trying to get used to it. They are back in full swing in the pool now, but I haven't got any pics yet (hint hint Manda). |
 |
| Josiah celebrated his 20th birthday on May 22nd :) So glad he is home !! |
 |
| Miss Bentley had the impacted wax cleaned from her ears. She had to be put out for this quick procedure. Landon said she did really well with it all. |
 |
| This sweet girl sent me this selfie the other night, as we conversed through a bunch of texting. She is getting to be quite the dancer, and has tried out for Academy Dance team. Sure hope she makes it ! |
 |
| The hills are so pretty and green, but it hasn't really warmed up too much. We still don't have water in our hole, and can't water the lawn yet. Sure hope it comes in soon. |
 |
| We did get a little garden planted, but it's a sad sight, and we will probably have to replant the peas. All of the tomatoes, and peppers froze the other night, and will have to be replanted too :( |
 |
