“If we keep no diary [journal], the path crumbles away behind us as our feet leave it; and days gone by are but little more than a blank, broken by a few distorted shadows. Life is all confined within the limits of to-day….”
Thatcher was able to play on Payson's baseball team on the 4th of July weekend in Midway. Landon is the coach. It was great to have they play together.
The garden is growing !

We haven't been able to do much floating this year because of all the trees that came down last September. Zac and boys have tried to clean them up as best they can.
He's growing up !!
Gardener, just like Grandpa
Look at those cabbages !! There were about 40 - and I took 20 to work and gave out. Everyone is always amazed at how big they are.
Cucumbers and Zucchini coming out our ears
This photo makes me LAUGH OUT LOUD ! Oh Bexlee :)
The corn the kids planted is being overtaken by the squash
Chaos Fitness, where Landon (one of the dads) was challenged by the kids. Of course he did well :)
Cam about cut her finger off right before they came to Morgan. Thank goodness no tendons were cut. She was a trooper, as her mom was gone on vacation, and she was all alone.
Tagg and friends
Landon and my dad. solving the world's problems :)
Grandma Carol and Bexlee on the bridge at the Property
Cutest thing ! Bright came to me, and said, "Grandma, there are DRONES on the water (East Canyon Creek) - Come and see". I couldn't imagine WHAT she was talking about......... Water Skeeters !! They do look just like drones. Bright is so smart :)
July 24th - Ryan Pace had a pilot get together, and a bunch of them flew in across the creek from the Property. He has a landing strip there. We were invited, and the kids sure had a blast looking at the planes, and watching them land.
We got busy............and I got lazy............and then something fouled up with my picture downloads from my icloud phone account into my computer............and then I finally figured it out. So..... I am playing catch-up for the last part of April.
Sometimes when I walk into work at 7am in the mornings, it is absolutely beautiful light !
I caught the YARDMASTERS hard at work at Sarah Swans one morning. It's one of their harder ones.
Mom's iris patch was overrun with grass. We dug it all out with the help of Treyson and Tagg.
Then we went down to the PIT and cleaned it out too.
Getting warm by the fire.
It was time to plant the first rows of corn. Thatcher was a great helper.
Tagg had a mishap, and broke one of his fake teeth off. I can't remember when or what he did, but here's proof of the unfortunate incident.
Mom and Dad - Grandpa and Grandma "D"
Thatcher and Grandpa Jim
One day we decided to clean up a little bit at the far North end of the Property. We put Tagg in Grandpa D's waders (he's the only one whose feet will still fit in them), and he was our CREEK helper.
Rake, Rake, Rake - Burn, Burn, Burn
Treyson trying out the old motorcycle. This used to be Dad's, then Zac and Landon rode it everyday to the mink farm when they were teenagers, working for Marv Dawson. It's been parked for many years.
Here's a still picture of Tagg BEFORE he took chainsaw in hand, and proceeded to cut away (see video)
It's worth the watch - A little scary, a little bit of yelling, a little bit of reassuring.........
CJ brought down Breakfast Burritos for the hard workers.
I finally got my favorite picture BLOWN up, and put in the frame that I painted.......... It will probably take me another year to get it hung :(
Landon received this notice from Weber State University.
No walking and receiving a diploma from the podium with COVID 19 (not that he would have walked anyway)
We are getting TIRED of this COVID 19 quarantine ............. It will be interesting to look back IN HINDSIGHT - and see just who was right.
I know though, that Heavenly Father is watching over us. Good times are ahead.
Thatcher is still practicing gymnastics - WOW how limber is that?!?!
We all gathered on the Courthouse lawn to see the fighter jets from HAFB flyover. They went from HAFB, south to St. George, and back up to Logan before returning to base, to THANK the hard-working healthcare workers who are battling COVID 19 on the front lines.
