The New Playset

We wanted to get a fun nice playset for the grandkids to play on when they come to visit....
The package said we should be able to complete it in 6 to 12 hours depending on skill level...

Well it took Gary and I and Tyler 3 weekends to put it all together. A special thanks to Jay and Ryan and Wendy for helping me get it and unload it in the back yard. ;)

Our skill level must not be too good we thought that maybe the guys from Hidden Hollow might be able to help us next time. We love our new playset and I think it was well worth the time and money!

Tyler and LaNells BBQ/Graduation party!

Here's Tyler kicking his sisters butt in leg wrestling, I guess Tyler has been working out.
Harley loves to hang, it just makes him happy!

Amy brought her big dog Hank, he's a real sweetheart.

Cousins hanging out.

Cute cake, thanks LaNell, Bekky made some wondeful cupcakes raspberry with lemon frosting.

Now Graduation

Tyler graduate's from University of the Pacific McGeorge School of Law. Yeah for Tyler and his family.

Here's a cheesy shot I think someone is happy he's graduating!

The kids got to walk(or be carried) across the stage!
Standing in the 103 degree heat getting pictures taken. We were happy. There were some interesting people there as well, I saw mini skirts and tube tops on one of the moms. She kinda pulled it off, but not really appropriate.

Dinner afterwards by the Sacramento river, the little girs played with the empty clams shells. (Of course)

Graduation!!

Our quick trip to California

This was a wonderful place to get our family pictures done. We were in Sacramento (old town). The kids had fun running around and playing with each other. Except for the fact that it was about 103, it was an awesome day and the pictures turned out so great. Good day!
Here's Payton smiling for the camera, she loves bampa taking her picture.

Heres Bekky eating some pizza, need I say more?

Oh and it was Wade's 32 nd birthday too so we ordered some pizza's for everyone and a yummy old man birthday cake for the occasion. This pic is one of our favorites. Wade is such a goofy guy.

Here are the four grand kids enjoying there pizza, they are all cheezer's, but oh so cute. I love them all!

to be continued...

There was alot of snow last nite.

These pictures are of my sad tree, it gave really good shade in the summer and now it's mainly on the ground destination green waste. There is still two large branches that did'nt crack and we think they'll grow and fill in this summer.

I don't know if you can see it very well, but there is a wind sculpture in this shot. We bought it in Moab and it is one of my favorite things. It was all totally bend down and I was afraid it was ruined. Last nite Gary tried to bend it back into the correct position and I think it's going to work. We'll see. About a third of the tree is in the trailer in the front yard so what your seeing is only two third's of what was there.

Remember last nite?

I have the greatest idea's at nite. Last nite I had an idea for my blog that was sooo good, and now this morning I can't remember it at all. Which leads me to my blog for today...I have the best ideas (I Think) at nite but by the next morning I cant remember them at all. It's really frustrating because they are really good ideas, probably brillant but now I cant remember. I could solve world hunger if only I could remember. Do you think I'm getting Alzheimer's???? I'm going to have to put out a pen and paper in every room and when brilliance strikes me I'm going to start writing it down. So I guess I'll bore you with whats going on this last week. Let's see trying to stay warm with all the fun summer weather we are having. (Sarcasm ). I think I'm trying to finish 3 quilts. Finish my cards for the card party next week, and trying to cover Viking Blue in Tylers room with now 2 coats of primer. The blue is just holding on not wanting to give way for a pink princess room for the granddaughters. Anyway if I have any bright idea's this week I'm going to write them down for sure so next week be prep aired for something good.
