September at the Rich Ranch

Zac has been doing alot of hiking with friend, Stan Durrant in preparation for a big hike at the end of the month.  This is a upper red castle lake high in the Uintas.   He hiked this on September 15th

The next week (on the 22nd), he and Stan hiked the Great Western Trail, starting near Highway 193 in Layton, and going up on the mountains (that we can see from Morgan to the west), and walking along top of those mountains, clear down to Emigration Canyon at the top of Big Mountain.  This picture shows they approaching the Radar towers. 

This picture shows Porterville in the valley in the far background. 

Treyson is still working out regularly

And he turned 19 years old on the 29th !!
Here he is with Grandma and Grandpa D

Also, on that day, the wind came up and blew the empty swimming pool (just emptied two days earlier), and ruined it :(

Happy  19th Treyson 

Doesn't look like much dog watching here !

Things are going good in AZ.  We are looking forward to having them come to visit in July.

Kerry Porter retired, and we went to the party there. 

Quite the rain and hailstorm. 

Grandma got a new car !!!  A pretty new Silver Camry

The East Canyon Dam spilled.

The Tabernacle was  brought to Morgan Stake Center.  We all went to tour it. 
It was a replica of the tabernacle the Children of Israel had in the wilderness after they escaped from Egypt. 

Baby Goats started coming. 
This is Chi Chi - one of the triplets that Azula had that survived. 

Friday and Saturday

We watched Payson and Brightyn for a few hours on Friday while Landon and Kacey sent to a sealing at the temple.  We had a fun morning, building blocks and knocking them down.  Payson was "HULK", and Brightyn was "Princess".  We built a fort, and had fun around the house, then we went to visit Grandpa and Grandma Ben.

Afterwards we came home for lunch.  I fixed a peanut butter and jam sandwich, but Payson didn't want any of that, so he decided eggs would be better.  He's a good little cooker :)

Later we went outside and watched Grandpa Roger mow the lawn.  We hung out under the trampoline for a little bit..................

Brightyn had a fun time too, even though this picture doesn't show it.

He's going to be a Crossfitter !

Brightyn too !!

Catchin' some AIR !!

Saturday, Roger and I went with Mom and Dad to Young Kia in Kaysville.  They ended up getting a Kia Sportage.  It's a cute crossover vehicle.  White (just like mom wanted).  I think they will enjoy it very much.
