These are the funny little squash that have grown on the plant we picked up at Basha's a couple of months ago.  The tag said it was a yellow "patty pan" squash, but these don't look at all like what I thought they would.  

 This one looks more like it may turn into the shape we thought they would be.  We cooked 'em up for Sunday dinner with some fresh potatoes, green beans, onion and a little bacon.  They are very mild tasting - in fact maybe no flavor at all.   hummmm...
 Been cleaning out cupboards and drawers this week and came across these photos of Tarrik when he was little wearing Grandma's glasses - upside down.  fun times...seems like yesterday....
 what a cutie.....

Not bad for 1 planter barrel.  Tucker would probably get a kick out of it, but, Grandma is kind of tickled about the harvest.

Another little critter---don't like 'em -  give me the creeps.....
 Pretty interesting to some--some just like Grandma and don't like them at all.....
 Mylee was probably the most brave about holding it, but Talya did touch it's tail.  Then Grandpa and the Grands took it in a bucket across the road and let it go...hopefully they scared it enough it will NEVER come back in the yard!






 I found this little love note on the counter one morning....SWEET!!
 Tyanne made her first quilt...she did a great job, too..
 Monsoon Season has finally arrived, but with a little temper tantrum...1 3/4 inches in a short period of time on Saturday the 3rd...Down the roadway--washed Grandpa's wood pile a little....

 The wash was running....swift...
 We thought we'd get some pizza for supper, but the power was out in Taylor---so fruit and toast it was..Looks like a lake around the pizza hut...but the rainbow was beautiful.

Water running at the bridge in Shumway...


Breakfast on the patio with some silly girls!!

 4-wheeler rides---just keep the tires pumped up!  (and the gas tank full - just ask aunt Carrie and Mylee about that--hee hee)
 Talya, Trinley, Haylee and Ellie blowing some fantastic bubbles!
 We've been watching this nest at the Young turn-off for a long time.  We think it's been an eagle nest for years, but at the beginning of summer there was a terrible wind storm and the nest was gone.  Pretty soon we started seeing it being built up again..and this time we were lucky enough to see the bird leaving the nest.  Grandpa thinks these are fish hawks and not eagles...

 Grandma was released from the Relief Society Presidency on the 28th of July and about three hours later Grandma and Grandpa were called to teach the 9 year olds in Primary....We are excited...This is our new class - cute little girls!

It's been a wild and crazy summer, but now the house is awfully quiet---the sheets and towels are all washed and we are ready for the aunts and uncles and the cousins to come again - HURRY BACK!!
we say - it's boring around here....hee hee.....
