Hal's newest Project!

Hal just put in a "High Tunnel" greenhouse! He is determined to grow things in the winter! All about being self sufficient I guess!

Here they are installing the metal - after they bent it....

Miss Millie helping

Here it is! HUGE! 17 wide by 30 feet long!

Installing the plastic.

Then they tightened it all up and Hal has been putting on doors the last few days... So he is ready to plant some carrots...and beets and arugula... I'm not sure what else!

What's Geocaching?????

Nate had knee surgery last week! I got to have the boys while they went to Park City! We decided to have adventure so we did!
Oakley learned about Geocaching at a Scout Merit Badge conference at BYU...so he told me about it and I got on line and researched it and found out it was like a really fun treasure hunt! So off we went! The website gives you GPS coordinates and you follow them until you reach the cache! I just happened to know where Haun's Rock was...so we went there and they started searching! Sure enough there was a cache and we found it!

Haun's Rock

Oakley pulling out the 'treasure'! So exciting!

Opening it up! Look at Preston's mouth! He is in total awe!

Here is the cache! Some toys! We didn't have anything to exchange... so we just put it back and
signed the log!

It was really cool to see how many people had found this geocache and signed the log! The boys were really excited to each sign!

Trey putting it back!

Then there was one at the Lindon Park...new tunnel...but we couldn't find that one!

Then we ran home to get Grandpa off to work and found some pumpkins down the street! We stopped to get some!

Then we headed up to the Hollow! Sure enough we followed the clues and found another one!

Just a log to sign this time...but the kids were thrilled!

Then up to another park in Lindon! Sure enough one more!

By that time we were HUNGRY! So we went over to Sammy's and had shakes and hamburgers! FUN DAY! Love these BOYS!
It was such a fun day! We can't wait to go again! Who knew that people have hidden things all over the world...and they are just waiting to be found! Cool!

My SCREEN PORCH!

I've been begging Hal for years to screen in my porch! I grew up in Virginia and everyone had a screened porch! He has worked all summer to get it done! He found an amazing company called Screen EZ....and you can see the results below! I am so excited! He is excited that we won't have cotton and leaves blowing in anymore! We can have family dinners without FLIES! YEAHHHH!

Becca came over and helped us stretch the screen!

Before....

Pulling it tight

After.... Now I just need to get my chairs painted and the cute new ones out! Sadly... that will have to wait til Spring!

Hee Haw's Preschool Field Trip

Audrey's school had a fun field trip to Hee Haw's Farm. It was a nice warm morning and we had a lot of fun!

Hayride around the farm....

Audrey had to sit with Miss Jody! That's her buddy!

Getting measured...

Going down the slide! It was pretty darn fast!

Audrey loved it!

Brig wasn't so sure about it...but he jumped up and went right back to go again!

Cute little faces.... Love these little kids!

Logan

We love going to Logan!

Hunter was being ordained a Teacher- and he had a fun football game and so it gave us a great excuse to run on up to Logan for the weekend!

What a kid! He is quite the little player! His team is undefeated and they just keep on winning!

While we were there... Tay had me try some new gum flavors! Delish!
Then we came home and made Caramel Apples...
