Miscellaneous happenings in August

The squash bugs killed our pumpkin and squash crop.
We lost 99% of our crop.  So disappointing.
Rog is working so hard - he is really tired at the end of the day.
It's hard with the boys back at school and football, and the bulk of the mowing falls to him. 
I'm so happy we live in such a beautiful valley as Morgan.  We are BLESSED.

I got Paris and Azula all shaved up............and then we lost baby CHA CHA (not Chi Chi).  Paris had Cha Cha, and she was poorly from the start.  Lived about a month, then died :(  We gave Cha Cha to Annette Prescott, and then decided we were going out of the goat business.  Paris and Azula headed on down the road to a good home courtesy of Steve Bell. 
We planted Giant sunflowers from last year's Giant Sunflower seeds.  They have grown so tall, and we love them !! 
The garden crop is on.  Corn, Cucumbers, Tomatoes - YUM 
I made a beautiful Apple pie.  It was delicious.  Made from apples from Mom's tree.
I'm cutting back on office work at the Assessor's office, in preparation for my retirement in October.  I've been out helping Roger (The Yard Master) - I guess you could call me  The Yard Mistress (haha).
Canning is always fun.
Roger is such a good help to me.
We did salsa, tomato juice, and sauer kraut
Aaron Venz showed us how to dry out onions ! 
Landon and Kacey went with Yvonne and Steve (their neighbors) to an island resort in the Caribbean.  They had a great time. 
Landon and Kacey's family had Lagoon season passes again
Fun times on Rattle Snake Rapids
Not sure which MLB park, or who that player was..........
But Landon was there for work I think.
Splitting some rotten wood - NO FUN
Glad the boys could help. 
Starting another project.  I think it's called, "Clean out the shed and kill the wasps and mice!"
Tagg and Thatcher still go to The Weight Room
This is Tagg's group
Zac and CJ got a Jeep Rubicon.  They plan to go on some "Jeeping" adventures.
Kelly Wilson and Haslam are going to be the new wrestling coaches this year.  Roger is talking with them after a football game. 
Treyson is a Senior, and is playing on the Defensive line
Tagg is a Sophomore, and plays the same position
Thatcher has many friends who also have older brothers who play for MHS.
They have a great time at the games watching. 
Thatcher is playing too in WFFL
