End of an Era






 When your kids are big enough to sit
 ON THE TOP OF the swing set, 
perhaps it is time to say good bye!
   
 Last Swing....

Bye, Bye! You have been a big part 
of our family for the last 15 years...


Thanks for the memories!

 without that huge swing set... 
To the future!

Sandy City Clean Up Day


 
Sandy City has a Clean Up day in the Spring and again in the Fall. Sandy City pays for removal of large trash items, and large yard clippings.  It looks really trashy for a few days while everyone puts their “garbage” out on the curb, but all in all, it keeps Sandy really clean and all trimmed up.

So in preparation for this year’s clean up day, we are trimming trees, pulling weeds, and getting rid of all those things that accumulate in your yard that are just ugly!

 There are a couple of what used to be "Lilies" that have turned into wild grass patches.  So in trying to remove them, we broke the shovel. OK, it was acutally me who broke it. Oh well.

Then, of course, the parts became guns, and other weapons of mass destruction.




 At least everything can become a game!


 Weeding the strawberry patch!

Rob runs track

We are so proud of Rob for running with the track team! Today, they "raced" Brighton High School.  I don't know if they won or not, but Rob has really improved his running skills.  He wanted to improve his skills for football, so he went out for the track team. Go Rob! He ran the 200 meter race.



Go Diggers!

Patriot of the Month

Topher received Patriot of the Month today! 

 Each month, the Middle school honors one male and one female student from each grade for good grades, great leadership and for being an overall great student.


 Mr Jameson, the assistant principal, read off  list of great qualities for each of the winners.



 Way to go Topher!!!


 Unfortunately, Dad had to go back to work before the pictures, but he was there for the award!


Congrats, Topher! Great Job!!

Everybody's Birthday

We decided this year, that for everyone's birthday, we would get a new tent and a couple of Dutch Ovens for Camping this year.  So, Happy Birthday Johnsons!





Of course, the boys couldn't wait to set it up. So, up it goes, just in time to play some games!

My Car goes to High School

Rob got his drivers license, but his car is not yet fixed. Somehow, my car ended up going to High School!  But I don't want to buy a parking sticker for it, and then turn around and buy another one for Rob's car.  So, it sits lonely on the street!
