Another Project.................. (March)

Thought I better get a BEFORE picture

New Loft going in

Now just need to take down some walls

And move this wall...........

To here !  With a little bit of help from the boys (A LOT of HELP) 

Moved wall in place - now let's get it secured so I can quit worrying. 
The Garage doors "just miss" the wall.  Zac figured it well :) 

The beginning of a new "PLAYROOM" 

 

I wasn't around when they got the railing in place up on the loft.  I'm glad I wasn't.  Got pretty hairy and scary.............and Roger D. took a header up ON the loft (not OFF the loft, thank goodness).

Angel's Landing

See that big rock in the background?  That is Angel's Landing, and Landon has been threatening to hike it for years !  I told him to never tell me when he was going to do it, only to let me know when IT WAS DONE. 

 

Landon and Payson, Dayton, Hayden, Braxton, and Blake hiked it.  See the chains?  Yea, that is what you hold on to so you don't plummet to your death !! 

Here they are on top !!
So happy they made it up and down safely.
I received the pictures AFTER the hike was complete (thank goodness). 

March in Arizona

Ezekiel is now 6 months old !! 

Doesn't he look like a little lumberjack here ? 

Oh he loves his mama

Cash is so SMART - he can write Cam's name, and his own, and Josiah's. 

Helping Mama with her homework :) 

Guess who is sitting? 

And eating SOLIDS !! 

It's going to be a HOT one !! 

Steak - YES !! (Just sucking on it of course)

These two are going to be the BEST BUDS :) 
Makes this Grandma's heart melt !! 

 

Another trip to the Temple for baptisms

Same Crew - Different Temple.
We went to Layton, because the Ogden one was closed.
It was another wonderful experience. 

 

Tagg is going on a MISSION !!

We are so happy for Tagg

Last Sunday night, we gathered at the "barn".  Tagg read aloud his mission call. 

It was such a special time :) 

He is going to Florida, Fort Lauderdale Spanish Speaking Mission.
He starts Home MTC on August 5th, then after 1-2 weeks, transfers to Mexico City, Mexico MTC for a few weeks, before flying to Fort Lauderdale.  He is super excited.

A day to remember

Yesterday was a wonderful day, and an answer to my prayers.  It's hard to get schedules to align, but they did !  Mom and I were able to go to the temple, and witness our grandchildren be baptized for those who never had the privilege while on this earth.  Tagg was able to perform the baptisms.  This was the second time that Tagg had been to the temple that day.  He had gone with friends early in the morning before school also.  He probably goes at least 2-3 times a week.  Thatcher and Payson have been before, with friends and YM leaders.  This was Brightyn's first time !  She was a little nervous, but loved it.  She thought it was pretty neat that Tagg was able to do the baptisms :)  We are hoping to go again in a couple of weeks, to the Layton temple.   

 

Happy Birthday Ambure

Today you would have been 48 years old.....................

 

Here I am at 48 years

Here is Roger at 48 years

I often wonder which one of your brothers and sister you would look like, act like.......
Would you be quiet, strong willed and caring, easy going?
Would you have a family, and kids for us to love on?

I look forward to the day we will see you again :)
Families are Forever ! 

Bexlee's Baptism Day

Landon baptized Bex at the White Stake House this morning.  Michael Rose's brother's boy was baptized too.  When Bex was confirmed, Landon, Michael, Blake Mecham (brother-in-law), Bart Brooks (Relation and also Bishop's counselor), and Marlin Brooks (Great Grandpa) stood in the circle for the blessing. 

What a beautiful Bexlee :) 

 

We had a nice luncheon at Landon and Kacey's afterwards

Payson and Bright stood as witnesses near the font for the baptism.  What a great opportunity for them ! 

Glad both Great Grandma's were able to come. 

Love these "guys" of mine :)

Program and Baseball and Birthday

Bexlee performed in the 2nd grade musical program.  
Can you see her in the middle with her "hands"?
It was great - see part of it here

 

Then we headed to Hurricane and St. George for Payson's baseball games.   While we were there, we stopped at Hobby Lobby to get THIS GIRL some presents for her 8th birthday that was coming up. 

Getting advice from Grandpa

Hanging with Grandma in the warm sunshine. 

Sweet Bright

Crazy Landon

Bex takes after her Dad 

Kissy Faces

I took the girls to Spilsbury Mortuary to see the awesome statue there.
I explained to them that when we die in old age, we live in heaven with our Savior in our PRIME, as represented by this statue. They wanted to know what PRIME was.  I told them about their mom and dad's age (30's).

After the games - Sweet family and Grandpa Roger

And finally back to the hotel to swim and eat pizza and birthday cupcakes for THIS BOY who turned 14 years old today !  (Feb 28th).  Happy Birthday Pays, we sure love you, and enjoy so much watching you play ball.  Click here to see the party.

This girlie loves her Grandpa :)
