What we did yesterday on Independence Day - in no particular order :)
 |
| Of course feed the goats...........3 times a day. Yup - it's getting OLD |
 |
| We rode around in the Ranger alot |
 |
| This was the sunset from the night before - spectacular !! |
 |
| 1st thing - fixed breakfast for the parentals..........at the Property. |
 |
| Made it down to Orem, to see Payson's baseball game. |
 |
| Picked a few peas, and I learned that I'm a much better pea picker than Roger D. It's ONE thing that I do better........ |
 |
| Zac and CJ and boys met Jim and Shirl in Lava, and had a wonderful 3 days there |
 |
| Cam had fun in AZ with her cousins |
 |
| Manda and Bren swam at Therese's - and she posted this on Instagram. Love it ! |
 |
| We ended up watching the fireworks in the Elementary School parking lot, just me and Roger D..........munching on peas and oooooing, and aweing....... (me) |
 |
| This is down at the baseball game - these two girlies are a JOY ! |
Hope everyone had a happy 4th of July

July 4th's Past........oh what fun we've had over the years
 |
| 2002 This is seriously one of the photos I would like to recreate. Wouldn't that be fun? This was before we redid the blocks around the "pit". Landon, Colton, Lance, Brian, Dallin, Devin, Jaden, and Tiana Colton in the youngest, and he's now 22. Landon is the oldest, and he's now 32 ! |
 |
| Zac and Dallin on the suspension bridge. We always used to gather as a family here at the Property on the 4th. Our kids were all young, and not scattered to the wind. Now they are all older, mine with families of their own, and it's hard to get together as a family. Times change...... |
 |
| 2004 WOW - what a change ! Landon was 16 here, and Roger D. was 46 Look at those "wings" on both of them. |
 |
2005 Camryn D ! Chubby little pookie We loved having her and Manda live with us for a few years. |
 |
| 2006 Must have been a cold rainy 4th in 2006 as we gathered in Joni and Kerry's garage with the Rich family. |
 |
| 2007 Hubba hubba ! Love this man of mine :) |
 |
| 2008 Wow - who are THESE youngsters? |
 |
| 2009 All geared up in their red white and blue. Now Tiana (on the left) - is in Brooklyn teaching school and Lance (on the right) in in Berkeley finishing up school............ From one end to the other of this great US of A. |
 |
| 2010 I think Zac is going to throw CJ in the creek, and she's trying to get Roger to save her....... Can't remember how THAT one ended up :) |
 |
| 2010 Wow- look at that breakfast ! A fun yearly tradition is getting breakfast at the park, provided by Morgan's Volleyball team. |
 |
| 2012 Mr. Payson - such a cutie! |
 |
| 2013 Lighting fireworks in the driveway |
 |
| 2014 Oh Oh ! Bright doesn't like Grandpa Ben very much at this point (haha) |
 |
| 2015 One year we had a massive FLOAT down the creek. Oh how fun that used to be. Sometimes is makes me sad that families change, and grow up, and spread out, and it's hard to get together like we used to. |
 |
| 2016 Waiting for the parade. Always a fun tradition, one we do yearly after the breakfast at the park. This year (2020), everything is cancelled because of COVID :( |
 |
| 2017 If we aren't gathering at the Property, we are hanging at our house, just "swinging" around. |
 |
| 2018 Lando's birthday is a day after the 4th - and it usually gets celebrated on the 4th if we are gathered together. |
 |
| 2019 Last year, we came home after a fun filled day at the Property, to find that part of our big tree had bit the dust. This caused us to work on getting the rest of it taken down, and a new fence put up, which we are so happy we did now. Should have done it years ago ! |

Yard Master is going GREAT !
 |
| On Wednesdays when they are mowing River Cove - I usually try to take them some Cinnamon rolls from Mama Lakes. This time Cam helped out with the surprise. |
 |
| And you can tell THIS BOY was so happy :) Look at that smile. |
 |
| When they mow Grandma Ben's yard, she always supplies them with Toaster Strudels. They love that too ! |
 |
| The head honcho is sure happy with his new mower ! Just like Christmas Day :) |
 |
| These two were just as excited - they are having a great time working together, and the money isn't bad either !! |

We loved our time with Cam here in Morgan
 |
| Cam came to work with me each day, and she scanned a BUNCH of papers. We are going digital in the office, and Cam was a BIG HELP. We would work a few hours, then leave to go and PLAY. |
 |
| She tried out (sitting) on Treyson's motorcycle. She wasn't brave enough to actually ride it. |
 |
| Lucky LOVES Cam - and belly rubs |
 |
| We went to church |
 |
| She liked hanging out with Grandma D (and Grandpa) at their place |
 |
| She loves strawberry and banana shakes - just don't put in any ALMOND milk. |
 |
| Grandpa fixed her FAVORITE ! |
 |
| We made a trip down to Kuk's and brought lunch for the family. It was good to see Elizabeth, Brian, Aaron, and Erika. |
 |
| Hanging out with Treyson playing video games |
 |
| Father's Day dinner compliments of Grandma D - YUMMY ! |
 |
| Relaxin' with Thatch |
 |
| Hanging with Grandma Ben |
 |
| And all too soon - her time here was over............. I'll recap some more of our fun times in futures posts. |
