Late July-Early August 2015

After Stephanie and Kevin's wedding reception - (can't find those photos)

Text from Carrie:  

"Hurry - Racoons"

When we drove in there were about 8 little girls running around screaming to the top of their lungs.  "We can't get in the house, we can't get in.."

Well, the reason they couldn't get in was because they forgot, it their panic, that there are three other doors that they could have gone to.  

Two little 'coons were on top of the cabinets behind Mr. Sully's food dispenser.  

So here we go.....

Early the next morning all the kids and Grandpa took the little guys about 10 miles away and let them go.  They were pretty fast! 

One of them headed right up the tree...

 Reese with her new cello....

 In late July we took a trip to Las Vegas to pick up the new car and spent a couple of days in St. George.  Such a beautiful city....Tuacaan is amazing.  We saw Sister Act and Beauty and the Beast.

We took a little side trip one day up to Pine - It's amazing.  There is a little chapel there that is build like an up-side-down ship.  They still use it as a meeting house - there is a pump organ and a beautiful pulpit build from the same wood as the one in the Conference Center.

Tuacaan Theater, Brigham Young's winter home, and the Temple.

 The Chapel in Pine and the little stream.

Back to school:  Ellie

 Haylee

 Jade - 1st day at Mesa High....

 Naia - 1st day in Jr. High...

 The tiny girl didn't know what was going on - no sisters to play with all day....drat! That's worth a little treat to make up for it...

 Natalie and Brittney took the girls to see Taylor Swift---they had sooooooo much fun...

 Back to school for Cam...

 Carrie's delicious Peach Jam!

 These little guys are so fun to watch....eat more BUGS!

 A late summer rain storm...

 Scouter Cam...great job!

 Mylee and Reese having some fun time - a field trip for home school.

 Ella found a little critter...

 This is what hail does to delicate sweet potato vines....

The roses have been so pretty this year.  There wasn't a late frost in the spring and it really makes a difference...they were happy all summer...

 Afternoon resting spot for Reese.

 Poor Grandpa - he smashed his finger and had to have Bishop Hardy drill a little hole in his nail to let the pressure out...it hurt like the dickens!   Mr. Sully is consoling him -
