Grandpa's Ribs and Tri Tip

The boys enjoying ribs and corn. Looks like they are not complaining and enjoying them from ear to ear.

Jaycie got plenty of attention from Conner and Taygan.

Fair Time Birthdays

Well one more fair week is history. We now have three B-days during fair week so to celebrate we do it on Sunday. Kona turned 28, Jared, 31 and Grandpa Con, 56. Grandpa Con cooked Tri Tip, pork ribs, corn on the cob and potatoes on his new Traeger Smoker. And of course a DQ ice cream cake. They all blew out the candles as the kids looked on. Happpppy, Happy Birthday to you all!:)

Pee Wee Showmanship

Taygan and Conner's sheep with a little encouragment from dad.

The Cashe County Fair has a Pee Wee division in the sheep program. Taygan was a little hesitate to show but a new pair of cowgirl boots did the trick. Everyone was a winner. They all received $3.00 and bottle of Gaterade.

There was 105 Pee Wee. The judge had them say their name and the name of their lamb and 45 minutes later we were on to the real show.
Way to go Tanner and Max

A New Business Adventure

So, Con got this wild hair, like he does sometimes, to buy this Traeger Smoker. We did some duch oven potatoes for the Boy Scout 100 year celebration this last week. A company from Jerome was there to cook the meat and Con really liked their Traeger Smoker. So, he got on KSL and low and behold there was one for sale. Lucky us! It is only two years old and has hardly been used. We jumped in the truck after the lamb show and headed for SLC to just look at it and the rest is history. So if any one has a need for some dang good grub, just give us a call and we will see what we can do. Retirement what's that!

Oh the Memories

Cody and Conner's lamb getting ready for the show. I think that he also had a walk down memory lane. It's good for him to see what we went thru that week of fair. Just wait Cody till you have 4 lambs to get ready. Good Luck!

Fair Time

Well it's fair time again and the feel of fall is in the air, at least in Cache County. It was a walk down memory lane for Con and I. Cody's oldest, Conner, is following in the Haycock tradition of showing a lamb. It was his first year in 4-H. He had a beautiful blue ( we call the black in the old days), anyway, he was a good one. Weighing in at 104. This judge really liked this lamb and kept coming back to Conner, feeling and poking and always watching Conner. I think he was checking the size of lamb to the size of kid. The tall kid right next to Conner in this picture won the class with the boy with the other "blue" lamb in second and Conner in third.

He was beaming for ear to ear at the final three.

Conner with his winnings. Isn't he the cutest cowboy you have ever seen.

Grandpa Con explaining what all the poking and measuring is for to some of Conner friends.

Family Pics

So while we were all in Logan for Dylan's baptism, we had a own personal photographer take some pictures of all 19 of us. Cody and Chalet are messin around with the idea of this photography thing. So who better to practice on but your family. He took some of the girls, the boys, grandkids with grandpa Con and grandma Vicki. All in all they turned out pretty good.

She was such a tropper. It was so hot but she really didn't give a hoot.

Just waiting to eat

Burley Stake Youth Conference

FAITH over FEAR

was the theme for the 3 day event.
The stake YM-YW had a bunch of fun activities planned for the youth.

Con hanging out in the shade before the next meal. Looks great Chelsee!

Sanding and more sanding for the service project. Keep it up Hailey

The chairs were done for the Christmas Council. The kids did a great job on finishing the chairs

Just think of the smiling faces of the children that will recieve these chairs at Christmas.

4th of July Parade

The kids enjoyed the 4th of July parade on the Island. It was pretty cold.

Max was my partner for the parade. He made sure there was some candy left over.

Don't know which is funnier for them, driving the 4 wheelers or throwing the candy to the by- standers.

Love those smiles.

Conners 1st Fish

Grandpa Con took Conner and Cody fishing out on Henry's. Conner caught the first fish and the second and the third and the biggest. He was pretty excited. He had been one time before and didn't caught a thing. He wasn't to sure about putting his fingers in that fishes mouth. It weight about 5 1/2 lbs. (Check out Taygan tye die capris)

Tye Dye Fun

We had Cody's family over the 4th of July. We tie dyed t-shirts.

Tanner wanted to do it all by himself and once he got the hang of it, he did great.

Conner started out wanting to do just a little bit but then added more color to to his.

Max squirting blue on his shirt.

Taygan got to do a pair of capris and she couldn't decide how to tie dye them.
