Birthday Boy

Yesterday I felt really, really, really old. Jason turned 36 years old. We spent the day in Meridian with his family. Lunch at El Tampa, shopping at Sportsman's and then a fun afternoon at WahZoo, a family fun center. Lazer tag and go-carts were the favorites. It seems like just yesterday we were bringing that little boy home. How time flyies. I still don't have a working camera. (Maybe for my birthday) Happy Birthday Jason. We Love You!

Celebrate the Fall

Grandma Vicki had her celebrate FALL party. Pumpkin Patch first. The weather was beautiful. Grandpa Con and Jason went goose hunting, Jared was in the tractor and so they missed the pumpkin patch. :( Time for a family photo.

Jaycie first pumpkin patch experience. She really didn't care one way or any other, but just wait for next year.

We finished up the day with a soup bar and of course the carving for the pumpkins. More picture to come later. I love this time of year and I am so thankful that we live in this beautiful valley and enjoy the many blessings that we have.

Diaper Bag

FALL is offically here and boy is it ever beautiful. That means that I a going to get a lot of sewing, quilting, stitching and scraping done. I took a class at The Gathering Place. I made a diaper bag, not that I need a diaper bag, but it will make a great church bag or stitching bag. Actually, I made it for Chalet. And if I hadn't lost my camera card;( you could see what it looks like. Kona and I are going to make ours, hope by then I will have found the card or maybe I'll just get a new one. Anyway remember LIFE IS YUMMY!

FIRE in the Cans

We had a little bit of excitement on Sunday at the reunion. I am sitting where I could see the garbage cans and I notice that there is some smoke coming from behind the cans. I thought that maybe someone was grilling , but when flames started coming out of the cans I say to Cody (who is a volunteer fireman in Logan), I think we have a problem. He grabbed the fire extingusher from the trailer. So Con and Cody ran to put it out, but it needed a little bit more stuff on it, so Con called 911 and reported the problem. Didn't get a picture of the fire truck.
We think that someone put hot briquettes into the cans. STUPID!

Haycock Reunion 2010

Labor Day brought on the Haycock Reunion at Cherry Hills in Kaysville, Ut. We had fun in the sun, Minute To Win It Games (except the wind came up and we couldn't finish, because we had to tie down tents and campers), ate a whole bunch of yummy food, crafts and lots of memories.

How's that working for you, Mindy?

Fall is on the Way

Last weekend we went huckleberry hunting. First time! It was raining and blowing like crazy but we just kept picking. We got about 2 quarts of berries. I made freezer jam and got 7 pints.

Grandpa Con picking. We were soaking wet by the time we fnished.

This little guy was putting peanuts away for the winter. He would come up pretty close to us to get the peanuts.

There is a mommy moose and her twin cubs on the Island and every once in a while we get to see them up close. They like to hang out by our cabin. This is the mommy and the twins are not to far away.

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.
