Another Busy Week.......peacocks..... toothless wonders..... chubby babies......baseball......munsters.........garage doors..........who could ask for more ;) ?

You may remember Tagg lost his two top teeth  (one of the front middle ones, and the one right night next to it) in December 2011, just before Christmas in an unfortunate accident at the shop.   He's been eating (very carefully)  with a big hole in his mouth.  Kinda hard to eat an apple :)  Well, the OTHER front tooth finally got loose and came out, and now he has an even BIGGER space.  Thank goodness the permanent ones should be in soon.  

Chubby Chubsters.   Just look at those cute little Michelin Tire arms......can you count them?  FOUR ROLLS, plus the DOUBLE CHIN!   Such a sweet little cutie.  Why is it that chubbiness is so cute at 4 months, and not so much at 53 years ?  

Payson loves to  go to Pizza Hut where he gets his own HAT !!  Now if he could just lose that binky !  ;)

Brightyn is finally getting the urge to turn over !!  Go Brightyn !

Take a look at what we registered at the office the other day........

The Munster Mobile !  Seriously, it was used in the movie !! 

As I went out to go to work the other morning, I could hear the peacock screeching.  It was echoing over and over, but I couldn't see it in the yard...........I guess he's decided he likes THIS PERCH better !

We are enjoying his visit.  He rest under the pine tree out front, prowls around our driveway, and even visits the other animals in the barnyard.  

Thatcher at the ball game the other night.  He chugged a WHOLE BOTTLE of Gatorade. 

Not sure why he had to show me his teeth..........

Go Treyson !!!

After the game.  These two are so photogenic.  LOVE THEM !!  We were happy to see the REDBIRD team that Treyson is on :)

And, as we head out of the ball park.  This is where we will be spending our Wednesday and Thursday nights for the next 6 weeks - YEAH !!!

Tagg and Ryker
Ryker is Casey's boy.  Tagg has been trying to convince him that they are cousins (2nd cousins).....but Ryker always says, "No we aren't", which totally bugs Tagg.  I had them get together for a picture, and told him FOR SURE, that they were in fact cousins....... I don't think he believed me ;)

Would you look at those BEAUTIFUL NEW GARAGE DOORS !?!?!?  Clay and Barbara Wilkinson put them in on Thursday.  They are GOOD LOOKIN" !!!!  We are so pleased with them.  

This is an old picture - but I just had to throw it in.  ONLY TWO more DAYS!!!! and these kids are OUT OF SCHOOL.  I don't know who is happier - them or Manda, for the morning commute ;)

Whew !! What a Week !

We have had a beautiful visitor this week.  Love to hear the cries.  I wish he'd stick around, but he is the neighbors down the road.

Thatcher has been quite worried about the turkey in my fridge.  He doesn't like it there.  I think he might have a phobia about my fridge for a long time !  

One day last week, it was "Crazy mixed up mismatched clothes Day"  or something like that at the Elementary.  Tagg was rocking the look really well :)

My sis retired from teaching !  30 years is long enough !  

We watched the kids Friday night...........this is how supper went for this little guy.  Come to think of it, this is what he did on Sunday during Mother's Day dinner too ! 

Mom got a sand burr sticker embedded in her heel.  Witch Doctor CJ is working her magic with a tweezers and her OILS.

This is the 35 pound turkey just before I got him ready to go in the oven.   I was kind of grossed out, and worried that I might not be able to eat the meat.

See that BIG BODY CAVITY?  It took ALOT of stuffing to fill it up, that's for sure.

All wrapped up, ready to go in the oven..........then I remembered I forgot to butter it.................and put extra foil around the wings...........AND put the "rack" under it.  It had only been in 10 minutes when I decided to pull him back out and fix these mistakes.  Got a nice burn on my forearm for my troubles.......

All done !  Ready to carve.  See the legs trussed together?  Yup  I went out in the garage and got a piece of fencing wire, and Roger D's trusty fencing pliars, and proceeded to tie him up !

Master Carver

Master Mom and Master Gravy Maker

Colton and Treyson eating on that BIG BIRD !

Dickson Boys !   Dallin is graduating from MHS soon, and headed to Dixie.  Jaden was just hired on as a Flight Attendant for Sky West airlines, and will be moving, out of state at the end of the month, and Dallin is working and going to school.  Wish we saw them more often, but it's always great when we do. 

Dax and Tagg.  Tagg is PRETTY HAPPY to be sinking his teeth into that BAD OLD TURKEY.  He was asking all week long, how many more days till we EAT HIM ?!?!?

Measuring up!  Dax is 7 and Tagg is 6.  They wanted to see which one was taller. Smart phone cameras are SO HANDY !!

With OUR MOM

Mom Carrie and her boys

Loving Zac.  Can you believe he wouldn't give his Mom a kiss on the cheek?  haha  Missing Landon and Manda on this Mother's Day.....they both called/texted to remember me. LOVE ALL MY KIDS.

Rog and Mom
Love you LuAnn !

Kuk and boys.   They were able to talk with Tiana and Lance on the phone while at our house.  Tiana will be home from her mission at the end of July. I think Lance is staying in San Fran for the summer.  He's going to Stanford University.  Brian will graduate from Cypress this month.  Colton is in ? grade.........He will be 16 in August.

Cam turns 10 TODAY !!!  Happy Birthday Camryn !!  She had a great birthday party on Saturday with some of her friends.  

They did the PEDICURE thing, and had a great time (sleepover).  I can hardly wait to hear all about it this morning when Manda calls.

We finally got to see some pics from the kids, and their adventures this past week while Grandma Carol and Grandpa Gary were visiting.  Here they are in Hong Kong at Disneyland!

Such a cute little family!  They will be home for a visit next MONTH !!  Yeah !!

Happy Mother's Day !
