Richville Rich Family

 

We picked up Zac after his work at the dirt spot, and went to Durk's plumbing to get the stuff we needed to put sprinklers in the ground where the garden used to be.  While there, Tagg called for the Mexico City MTC for the first time.  It was good to hear his voice. 

Treyson and Jaklynn are still at it working out. They are sure dedicated. 

Their family had pictures taken before Tagg left for his mission.  They turned out so beautiful.

They also had alot of fun game nights, soaking up each other's company before Tagg left. 

BUFF !! 

TOUGH !! 

Jaklynn is quite the baker !!!

Another fun picture 

Grey's River Campout

Payson is a great fisherman

 

Do you think they slept out here during the night?
Think again :)

Bentz loves the water, and mud, and pajamas :) 

Landon and Kacey

Fun times in the trailer 

Happy Birthday to Grandma D

Grandma D's birthday was on August 8th - this picture is from the next day after Tagg's farewell luncheon where we presented her with a FUN cake, and sang Happy Birthday to her.  She is 89 years YOUNG !!!

 

The girls sure had fun decorating it 

I'm getting payback with Bex - She can never keep a straight face........much like I was at her age !!! 

That afternoon (of the 8th) - the Rocky Canyon Faire blew up !!   It had started the day before off of Highway 66 up East Canyon.   

The smoke got bigger and bigger, and formed a Pyrocumulus Cloud,

The next day Bexlee took the image and asked AI to make a BIG FIRE !!!
I sent this to Manda, and she just about died !!!  I shouldn't have done that :(

That night you could still see it burning. 

It was quite the sight !!!! 

Uinta Camping.........and a FIRE :(

Landon and Kacey went with friends camping in the Uintas.  Bentley loved her friends "strider bike" so much, that Landon had to make a trip to Walmart in Evanston to buy her one !!  She's a natural athlete !!

Fun playing in the cold creek !
Bexlee dunked herself completely under the water.  The other girls soon followed suit. 

Even Bentley got in on the action !! 

 

A little bit of drama depicted with an AI rendering above. 
Bright and Bentz were riding alone on the 4-wheeler a little ways from camp when it caught fire !!
They were able to get off safely, and some passer-bys stopped and put out the fire with some handy water bottles.  The girls (especially Bright) were shook up.  The nice people who stopped to help, pulled the 4-wheeler back to camp.  They are so blessed to not be hurt !  

July with Zac's family

CJ always gets the best pics of the Northern Lights

Tagg's friends have started leaving on their missions

They took a Family Trip/Senior Trip/Last Trip together for awhile on a Cruise, and Universal Studios. 
We dropped them off at the airport in Salt Lake 

While they were gone, Thatcher's deer head (all taxidermied) came. 

They had a great time on the cruise. 

I'm so glad none of them got sea sick. 

Love these guys :) 

We picked up Treyson and Jaklynn a couple of days before the others who stayed to go to Universal Studios.  Flights were delayed 3 and 2 hours.  Crazy WARM night sitting in the Park and Wait. 

So glad they all had a good time. 

Cheat Day !!! or I should say........Cheat Trip 

Meanwhile back at Universal :) 

Back in Morgan at the Fair Parade with Miles Sydenham
Tagg is packing in as many adventures as he can before the mission. 

Also, helped to take the rest of Grandma's bark to their house. 

 

Thatcher and friend Cru helped a DEAD RACCOON down the creek and past The Property. GROSS

These two are still at it - amazing dedication.
