I’m not sure when Seth sleeps... cuz it’s not at night and not at naptime... but the cute little stinker gets away with it when he does stuff like this:

So the week-

Isaac had Truman Showcase last weekend then a Beta Alpha Psi (or something) BBQ—he took Seth with him to the BBQ and the rest of us stayed home. I didn’t even know what to do with 2 hands for a full hour and a half! Maybe 2 hours!!

Cannon and I also got to watch a little BYU football (loss...man between the cubs not making the playoffs and our Cougs...welcome to cheering for losing teams bud. Sorry. I get so excited for him to like who I like! ...Maybe I should back off about him liking Golden State...) anyway we were checking scores and saw the game was on ESPN+ ($5 for the month) SOLD I did feel a little bad that he only ever gets to watch highlights when he had no clue what 2nd and 7 meant. Fail. Again-sorry Bud! 

Sundays big news was the unveiling of the new children and youth program. Well that and remember how we were going to replace the roof on this place before it gave us problems?? Whoops too late. It was crazy Tanner didn’t want to sleep in his room, we were like great we don’t care sleep in the living room just go to bed!!! So he slept in the brown chair. Well Sunday morning Isaac was previewing the broadcast but I was asleep (I ended up watching it with him) but initially I was in hour room and Tan was in the living room so that pretty much only left upstairs for Isaac to sneak away to and watch the broadcast. While up there he found the leak. So a little Tanner ‘tude turned out to be a blessing! Saturday while I had time and hands I swept up a little downstairs. I’ll be darned if I didn’t throw away the tar he needed. Unmarked completely rusted old gallon can...yeah I should’ve known-if I ever throw away anything I get caught! Oh well! He ended up going to buy some and doing a quick little repair job that morning. It seems to have held. But we had the Amish guys come bid it Wednesday. 

We’ve been working hard on “snap” words Colts supposed to know them in a SNAP. So we’ve been a creative as possible. Making them with clay, writing them in the dirt, forming marshmallows into the shape of them and so on! 

Goat fun 🙄 oh Sunday the real owners came out and gave the sick one a shot. While his big Bro’s were riding motorcycles Tan was playing with the goats..

But I will admit it’s pretty cute when he’s squealing/laughing “Follow the leader” and they’re all trotting behind him. And speaking of motorcycles this is SUCH A BIG DEAL!!!! Colt got back on!!!

Isaac got a major work out because he had to run everywhere Colt went-actually I’m really proud of him too. He’s definitely had to make some adjustments. When we first moved here he turned Colt loose and wouldn’t run beside him then Colt wrecked (not bad) but Colt hasn’t been back on since we couldn’t even get him to ride atvthe sewer ponds this summer! Isaac would’ve just got back on Cannon would’ve just got back on, but Colts like no way that sucked and I haven’t forgotten!! And sometimes he gets so upset about it.  So it’s taken some time but I think Isaac has realized oh he’s not going to just get back on. So he’s started working with him! And I’m proud of the both. Cannon meanwhile was zipping around on his 65. 

The other day when we were working on the siding (no further progress on that🤔) and the boys built the “Goat hut” they put a fire pit in front. So they’d been begging to light it and Tuesday I gave it. After school snack marshmallows...only we only had miniature ones. Oh well good enough. They had a blast!! 







The videos a little choppy (cuz it was originally a Marco) so that’s why I left the pics too but it was so funny! 


I ended up with no pics of just Cannon-darn. In one of the videos I took he says “I roasted it perfect! -I should’ve shared!!”  I thought it was pretty cute. But Tan shared -just a lick- with Seth and the loved sharing with me we had a good time.  Sometimes life out here is pretty darn good! 
Wednesday we brought Cohen home from school with us and then took him back when it was time for scouts.  Thursday sweet bro Chace and his wife brought over pizza! So nice (and it was delicious) he is such a nice guy. He’d asked me if he could do it and I’m telling you I tried my hardest to turn it on him and make it so I could make him a dinner that he’d really enjoy but he was determined. Making us the grateful recipients of his kindness. Isaac had to go after just a few minutes cuz he has a meeting but It was fun to visit with them! And he even did dishes (I tried to stop him but finally resolved to documenting it!!) 

This is same guy who pulled the nails out of our wood floor when Isaac was salvaging it. I swear he’s as good as they come, we told him we owed that floor he was standing on to him! We’re so lucky he ministers to us! 

And today we fed the missionaries and it was the last flag football game. Cann got a touchdown so that was pretty fun! I took pics with my big camera just to practice-I figure if I can master that one I could reasonable justify buying a better one right? 😉 We’ll see if I ended  up with anything worth posting, I haven’t even looked yet. 

Oh the other thing was it turned cold on us. I mean it’s going to get worse but it was like 90 one day and high of 60 the next. In a few months I’ll be begging for 60 but a 30 degree swing overnight sure felt chilly! 

Last but not least some Seth cuteness, none of the pics do it justice but he wasn’t sold on whatever babyfood I was giving him. How do you still ha e a twinkle in your eye when you’re gagging?? And if ya give him a bottle —it’s still a mess!!

A little brother love to end on! 

Until next week.
