Our life lately

Lucky got his SUMMER haircut.
Bandit doesn't quite know what to think.
Lucky is 13 years old this summer.  I feed him an aspirin in the morning and in the evening to help with his hip pain. They are good dogs, even though Bandit annoys me most of the time.  

Last Saturday we were able to get some more weed spraying done. 

The new sprayer we had purchased the previous summer was leaking (already !?!?!) so Zac went to work and rebuilt the components, and it will NEVER leak again!

We were finally able to get down to see the kids, and check out the awesome playhouse Landon and Kacey built.  10 hours over 3 days (Memorial Day Weekend), saved themselves $600 in costs. They did a great job, and it's so sturdy !   I climbed upon in the one end, and let me tell you, that thing is solid.  They littles LOVE it. 

Landon and Roger, checking out the new sod, Yard looks great !! 

We soon heard Miss Bexlee on the monitor, and in the house we went.  Here she is all trussed up like a burrito - her FAVORITE way to sleep :)

These cute girls.
Braelyn, Harper, Brightyn, Hadlee

Brightyn said (after the group pic), now Grandma, take just MY picture, and when I raised my camera, she does her POSE.  Such a cute sweet loving girl !!

The other day I was heading west on Young Street, near the East Canyon bridge, when a Mama and Daddy Goose, brought their 10 babies up on the road.  I stopped clear back aways, and zoomed my camera in.  I thought they would cross the road, but they changed their minds, and turned around and headed back in to the creek.

Dallin's wife took these pics - they turned out cute.

Look at those pretty eyes
They are blue (even though they don't look it in this pic)

She loves to be swaddled while she sleeps

House Happenings

Zac modified the cupboard above the fridge, and it looks like it was never modified !
New fridges are a lot taller than they used to be 25 years ago, and since ours was totally built in, we had to tear out the sides (gaining a couple of inches for width which was needed), and also the cupboard above, which was then cut down about 3 inches.  He also modified the doors, and when they are painted, you will never even know.

Fixtures back in - granite looks beautiful.
We are still waiting on the window sill (to be made from the granite)
Love my new sink !

Stairwell sure looks different.  We removed the green carpet coving on the walls.  Roger sure has a lot of patching to do now, as they used TONS of staples to attach the carpet.

Trying to pick out colors for the walls, and cabinets
It is HARD !!

Painted our bedroom fan (from gold to brushed nickel), and it turned out really well.  This is the family room fan.  I made an executive decision, and we are not going to paint this one, but are going to get a new one. 

Roger D watching Layne TAPE our sheetrock
He only has one more sanding, and then texture and he's done.
Paint for the WALLS is in two weeks, so we are working towards that.

Here's what's happening.......

Surprise visit at work !!
Such sweet little girlies.
Glad to have them come and see me.

Yard work - getting a trench reburied and sod back in place.
I think this was for the sewer line to the "barn"

Daddy Daycare.........
The only way to get them to pose nicely for THIS picture.........

was to tell them they could pull faces in the next pic.
Look at Bexlee (click on pic to see up close) - she's even getting in on the pulling a face action !

Bandit tangled with a porcupine.........

Memorial Day

Pretty flowers at the cemetery

Thatcher ran the weed-eater for a little bit, and they worked to get the Property all cleaned up.

I went with LuAnn down to Kanab, Utah (5 1/2 hour south) to see the Peay Family.  Josie's mission farewell was Sunday morning, and then we headed back home.  It was a nice little trip.

These boys have started golfing lessons

Thatch and Tagg went with Nana Daw and Grandpa Jim up to their lot near Lava Hot Springs.

On the way to gymnastics, Thatcher is the vacuum man !

Landon and Kacey's project for last weekend.
SUCCESS !!!
Teamwork made it happen.

Mark and family
LOVE THIS PIC !!
