June "little stuff"

Treyson is a reading maniac this summer.  Book after Book. 
This is what I used to do when I was his age.
So I'm finally going to get my C-pap machine this Friday
Hopefully it will help.
The trampoline is always fun.
Can't believe these boys are just relaxing on it ?!?!
A little bit of fishin'
The wind blew a huge tree down near the tree house.  It fell across the water, and snagged the zip line. 
Tanja and Jarrett stopped by one evening and brought their dogs.  Oh what fun in the water was had !!
Working to get the tree removed.
Our supervisor.
Making me nervous - I had to leave. 
I just can't take the stress, pressure and worrying.
Thatcher and Mom (CJ)
Landon and Kacey donated their entertainment center, and we turned it into a cupboard for the building.
All of the maxi-paw sprinklers were replaced, and Grandpa and Grandma D sold these on Morgan Classifieds.
Trying out the Sling Shot at Trax rentals. 
Crazy kids, raided our Creamy Stash
Now that's more like it !
A local (Park City) celebrity spoke to us as Assessor Summer Workshop.
Any guesses who he is?
He doesn't look like I remember him.
Here's a clue:  "Here's your sign"
A view of Park City, from the Ritzy neighborhood.
This is what a bedroom closet looks like in a 7 million dollar house...........
And a garage............
And mechanical room................
Laundry...........
Wine cellar...........
Bathroom in a 12 million dollar home
Another bathroom
Bunkbeds - cool (there is another set just like this on the other side of the room.

My condo I stayed in.
I rode the zip line from the top of the mountain at the Olympic Park.  When they open the doors, you GO !!
This is Dale Bagley  - Piute County Assessor
Pedro, Julie Medley (Carbon Co. Assessor), Kya
Maddi, Amy Jo, and Ally
We had a great time, though none of us dared go down those ski jump landings in the rear.
You actually sit on a tub to go down.  Pretty intense. Just ask Landon !
I think we caught 1-2 of Thatcher's baseball games.
There he got a hit !
3 baby raccoons down at the Property.
Not a good place to be.
Unfortunately they grow up to be chicken killers.........
We sanded and re-stained the benches at the Property.  In preparation for the reunions and parties we are going to have there this summer.  First one is this Saturday - Porter Family Reunion (Roger's cousins)
Our driveway was sealed and resurfaced (oiled)
He did a great job. 
Bouquet for Grandpa Ben's grave for Father's Day.
Tagg got a new puppy.
Meet Rex
He's a golden lab/Bernese Mountain Dog mix.
He's going to be HUGE
Spreading out bark.
Flowers (my own Peonies from my flower bed) for Relief Society centerpiece, and THEN for Phyllis.
Love their smiles
Happy Father's Day Dad !
Landon's seat at the Diamondbacks game
He traveled to AZ for work (and to see Manda)
Landon and Kacey are keeping up with Crossfit.
Payson is going to kids Crossfit too
These two crazy goobers
And here's another one (Camryn) enjoying her time in Cali with her cousins.
Basking in the hot tub in Park City with Dad
Look at that Shiner !
I think he "might" have learned that jumping on the bunk beds with cousins is NOT a good idea ;)

$*%& Raccoons

That is what the raccoon must be thinking, and that's what we'll need to do.............although Roger D. is ready to get rid of all of them, because THIS IS JUST TOO HARD.  We got a call from Lori Birt this morning at 3:30 am - another massacre was occuring in the barnyard.  We threw on our clothes and rushed out.  Barnyard appears to be calm, BUT the coop - OUR SAFE COOP was a mess.  Two dead chickens, and a raccoon STILL IN THE PEN.  Roger went back in the house for his shotgun, and I tried to keep the devil in my sights with the flashlight.  I heard a BANG, like wood on wood, and the raccoon had escaped, headed south across the back patio.  We searched and searched the pen to see where he could have gotten in, but couldn't see anything.  Could he have climbed up on the upside down 6 gallon bucket, and opened the nesting door?  We are stymied.  We'll need to check it out better in the light of day.  I set a heavy weight on the nesting door and moved the bucket.  Hopefully he will stay gone for the night, but I'm sure none of us will be getting any more sleep (including our poor neighbors).  We are down to 11 chickens now.  5 in the barnyard and 6 in the coop.  We have lost 13 chickens in the past 8 days.  NOT GOOD.

Caught the killer


Rog set a live trap night before last, to see if we could catch the raccoon that killed our little banty rooster. Sure enough - we caught the little bugger. He was pretty big! Rog took care of him....................., and he is NO MORE. Serves him right, right?
