Stucki the dino

Nolan's shoes after dirt sliding down the hill.

Spring Break for the Barney's and they came and spent some time with us! The end of March

Mason, Mandy, Kadee and Mariah posing at the top of "Stucki" hill, Ryan claims to have found dinosaurs up on this hill, so we all went with him for a hike. There is a corner marker up there with a family name on it, Stucki, pronounced with a long u, but Ryan has named his dinosaur Stucki because it's stuck there. we all had fun playing around.

Mandy and Kadee

Maraiah

Mason

Oh no Mason hang on!!! Ryan's got you

Too much fun to be in danger huh?

See the vans WAY down there? Lucky for Justin, Ryan got to him just in the nick of time.

The pile of rocks show where the corner marker is with the name "Stucki" on it. Afton, Gideon, her brother who just got back from a mission and was visiting them for the week, Mariah, Mandy, and Kadee, that's Ryan's hand up showing Mandy something, I can see his cowboy hat up behind Mandy's head.

Justin and Nolan

This is "Stucki" see the eye, nose and ear, as pointed out by Ryan

views from all around

What we saw when we got to the top and looked down

Justin, Ryan, Afton, Gideon,Mandy,Mariah, Nolan, Kadee, Mason, and Aunt Wendy. There's a video at the end of this blog showing how some of the boys got down. It's taking sooo long to upload, that I'm only doing this one video, I have more

Afton with her brother Gideon at a park near our house where we had a picnic with Uncle Dave, Aunt Karen and their family, we had some fun and some good food.

Wendy, Dan B, and Dan M

in the back is Austin and his fiance Sarah, hanging on every word from Dan

Kadee, Mariah, Mandy, and Mason

to the way left in Hyrum and sitting, his new fiance, then Dylan, Nolan, Kadee, Mariah, Chris' wife, Trina, Mandy with her back to us and up front Aunt Karen holding....I'm not sure who, it looks like Mason but it could be her grandson. No, I looked at the shirt, it is Mason.

At another time, the kids and I are out by the fire pit I made with a propane gas ring, I can't figure out how to rotate the picture

We've had a few days of stormy weather here, not the typical blue skies and sunshine, in fact, It seemed like we were in Washington with all the rain we got in a couple days, but then it cleared out and the clouds lifted and this is what we saw!!!, it had snowed in the higher elevations. This is Pine Valley Mountain. The boys in Enterprise got a couple feet of snow in that storm. Enterprise kind of is behind that mountain.

Car show in Mesquite, this was the car I took a picture to show the kids, they didn't want to go.

Mariah and Ryan got new glasses from an awesome web site with complete glasses for $8, Mariah's were $8, Ryan paid a little more because he had tinted lenses for $5 more.

This pair of Mariah's was $12.95, not bad though! I gotta pass along the deals when I find them, especially when you don't have insurance that covers eye glasses.

I got a new camera for Christmas (my old one broke) so here are some pictures I just took to check it out, missed any Christmas ones. Oh well.

The goats think they're dogs, and the dog thinks she's a goat, when I feed them hay, she eats it too, and growls at them when they try to eat her dog food. Of course the goats don't like the dog.

He's talking to them not spitting on them.

Went with Dan for a drive to do a job, I always enjoy the scenery

In this cute little town called Centerville I found Fred Flintstones car!! Where's Fred??

OH NO, I think I found out where Fred went

More pretty scenery in the area where "My Friend Flicka" was filmed, Dan's family (MacFarlane) owns the ranch and house where it was filmed, I was too slow getting the camera out, so this is around there. Those are lamas walking in the field.

The sun only shines on half of the trees, isn't that crazy?

Thanksgiving Dinner, it was so fun.

Jason, Tiffany, Gunner, and Paisley came for Thanksgiving, so we had all our kids except Logan. It was so good to get together, this is the turkey bowl and Frisbee toss. It was such a nice day.

Gunner and Paisley

Gunner

more football

I was getting an action shot of Jason and Nolan walked in front of the camera, so I used it anyway.

Justin

Ryan, Dan Mariah (holding Paisley's baby), Nolan and Austin

We found this quarry of "Utah Ice", beautiful crystal rocks, other's have called it gypsum? But I can't imagine it into sheet rock.

Mason with Utah Ice

Mason, Afton, Justin and Dylan

It is amazing stuff, Nolan wants to sell it on E Bay?

On the same trip to the hills, we went to this cave someone excavated, we were told there was shale oil in it, Justin tried to light some black stuff.

I had some pictures of Kendall(Logan's daughter) sent to me on my phone by her mom and Mariah put them on a flash drive for me so that I could share them with others

Kendall (I don't know how to rotate it)

So I did the same with pictures sent to my phone of Maddison, they're growing up!

Maddison Halloween

Maddison crazy hair day at school, I love it

When Jason and Tiffany visited, the middle of October, we had so much fun and did lots of fun stuff, but my camera broke so I can't get any of those pictures off of it, Dan used his camera for these shots and I'm so glad. This is all I have until I figure out how to get the others off my broken camera.

Logan is the only one of my boys missing, Gunner fits right in there!!

It was fun to have all my kids (except Logan) there.
