HAPPY COOLER WEATHER SEASON

I realized that I have not even blogged about Jen and Curtis new little arrival. His name is "Ozzy" and he is darling. He was a ten pounder and apparently is ready for the football season! His big sister loves him and is always saying his name. Very cute. So here are a few pics of "Little Ozzy" that I got while he was still in the hospital. Oh, he is actually 4 weeks old now.





This is a pic of Shaylie and cousins Brody and Trace at the hospital.




Because Brian and Mallory were down for the new arrival, we went to the canyon for a little Barbecue. Here are a few pics of the kids from that afternoon:






If it looks like we just have grandsons...that is because the boys REALLY out number the girls. Right now we have 10 grandsons and 3 granddaughters. Come Feb. though we will have 5 granddaughters. Yeah, the girls are catching up:)

Okay, last but not least! Derek and Cindy were up camping, they invited Neal and I up for dinner and the campfire entertainment was beyond words. Here are a few pics of that. I wonder where these guys learned to be so "goofy!"







I think that catches me up for today. O.K. I will never be caught up, but this works for now!!

Collin Raye

Jake and Olivia came and spent a few days with us. It was really fun, they are such good kids! We really enjoyed them. Just a few pics of them.





These are some random pics of us waiting for Collin Raye. We were in Draper and those of us waiting for about 4hrs. in the 100 plus degree weather were me(of course), Jen, Shaylie, Cindy and Jake. Curtis, Neal, Derek, Bryce and Olivia came just a little bit before the concert started. It was hotter than hot, BUT, was oh so fun. I love Collin Raye and don't worry, Neal knows all about it. Hee, hee!

Fourth of July

These are just random pics from the 4th of July. We of course did the good ole country 4th of July here in Moroni. They seriously do have one of the best fireworks shows EVER! They set them off right above our house and shut the road down. So, we sit on the front yard, these are front row seats, and no one else is around because the road is blocked. It is awesome. Unfortunately, I get confused while doing this and I always do it wrong. So, the first pics are of the family games we played and the carnival in the park just below our house. Then you will see the parade pics.







We went to the parade first thing, here are a few of those pics

Grandma Allens 80th B.day party

We celebrated my moms 80th birthday party with a BANG!!! We tried to invite as many people as we could that would like to come and wish her a Happy Birthday. We had a great time seeing old and new friends and relatives. Lyle Hadlock played background music the entire time and it was beautiful. We missed some family members that live too far away to come and participate, other than that, all the fam was there. Thanks everyone for making it so much fun!! Thanks Grandma for having an 80th b.day!

The Trencher that Neal Rented!

This is a story about the trencher that Neal rented....that got away from Neal.....that went OVER the rock wall....that landed on it's side in the neighbors yard....that "just missed" the neighbors car...that had to be picked up by a fork lift...that will surely take Neals allowance for the rest of the year for damages!!!
(Truly lucky, that Neal didn't go with it and that it didn't hit the neighbors car OR the neighbors, they were outside and it could have happened!)
