Just updating our goings on

Just a little update on our going on.  Lincoln has learned all his shapes.  So we decided to make a tractor, semi, and race car.

 Here's Lincoln doing a great job at soccer.

Sara decided to join a dodge ball team.  It was a new experience because they didn't know the rules of the game. 

Grampa's job was tending the kids.  Hard job. 

Our talented Liz made penguins out of olives and carrots.  Cute.  She also furnished Sunday dinner for us.  Good Job Liz. 

 Jack had fun playing catch with Casper.  Jack has a good arm and chasing the ball made Casper tired.  Way to go Jack.  Afton helped too. 

Great hair doo Afton,  As she started down the slide the wind took over.  How cute you are. 



For Easter weekend Jake and Liz took us to St George.  Liz found a new boyfriend right off.

We went to the art show and then hit the red rocks. Liz decided to kep Jake after all.

While everyone was hiking, I decided to watch people.

Liz found her house while we were there.

We then went to Las Vegas.  This is the temple there.  Very beautiful.

The Temple grounds are very beautiful and there were fountians every where.  There were a lot of people there so we to our picture at this one. 

After Vegas we went to Zions National Park. That is sure  beautiful also.

 

Liz Jake checking out sun glasses.  They both bought a pair, not these ones.  We shopped both St George and Las Vegas.  We each bought a pair of shoes in St George and Liz bought out the outlet stores in Vegas.

 

We had a very good trip and we had a great time.  Liz loved Zions and the country around there. 

 

 

Jack showing off his Easter Chick and Bunny.  Grandma had all the kids involved in making them. 

Lincoln and his Bunny.  Do they both have big ears or am I seeing things. 

Afton's Bunny is a cute as she is.

This is a sun flower cake make with peeps and chocolate chips.  The grand kids helped and they had a lot of fun.   

Chris working on a fire place mantel.  He's building three right now out of Alder wood.  The wood has a lot of knot holes and cracks but is very pretty when finished.  It's also very expensive like a $12.50 a foot.  He does very good work.

Our garden is coming up, first was the onions and now the peas'

The carrots haven't come yet they might need a little warmer soil to sprout.  Should get the radish and parsnips in this week. 

Yesterday was 80 degrees here setting records and was snowing this morning at 30 degrees.  Should be a foot of snow out there this time of year.  I sprayed weeds in the pasture last week.  Chris and I burned the pasture a week ago Saturday, sure greened up fast.  The burnt part in the middle of the swing set I'm tilling up this week to plant raspberry's and corn and squash.  It's a 35 by 40 foot patch.
All the kids are here for Conference weekend.  It's been fun.  We miss the rest of our family  at times like this.
