The Manure Boys!!

Danny finally got him a big screen TV and Mikey and him spent the day installing in on the wall. It is fairly fabulous....then off to shovel manure!!!




Iknow that Mikey was thinking this is exactly what he missed about Blanding and why he decided to move back. You can't possibly have more fun than shoveling manure can you?


This was actually pretty hilarious. The wind was blowing pretty hard and each time one would throw a shovel full on the garden, half of it would blow in their face. That's when they decided to take turns. I was LMAO!!!!

Grandma and Grandpa Grape finally found the road to Blanding!

I am so excited! Mikey and Auntie Gail are moving home! I don't feel like an orphan any more. Mikey had to bring the motor home from St. George to Blanding so Mom and dad drove his truck over for him. We had a lot of fun....don't let my fathers face deceive you!
Holly decided to give Grandma a pedicure. She gave her "happy toes" (that's what the fleming's refer to as painted toenials) and even put awesome stickers on them for her.




Grandma didn't want her toes to touch and mess up the polish job so Holly found a remendy for holding her toes apart. Don't you know that felt good sitting there for 30 minutes with those things between your toes!
Is this the "I love to be in Blanding" face or what?

Easter Fun


Every year we all get together and go on an easter picnic. It decided to rain the night before which put a damper on the picnic in the woods. So we went to plan B...party on the deck. (Davy's favorite saying is "always a party at the Flemings.") We had about 2o people with enough food to feed 50. All the children, ranging in age from 21-30, spent most of their time whining and complaining because the Easter Bunny didn't bring them an easter bEasket. We are talking major league complaining for hours! Then Josh called and was having BIG BIG BIG issues about not getting an Easter basket. Get a life!
P.S. Notice the new sliding glass door!

Spring Break Fun!

We had the little boys for Spring Break so we all got together and decided to go on a picnic out to Cottonwood. The weather was beautiful and we had a lot of fun. Of course the stream was a plus! Whatever was I thinkin? We all know the rest of this story......................

















If Dawson makes 10 without every bone in his body having been broken, we will all be happy. This child knows absolutely no fear. Dayton called his mom the other night and told her Dawson is learning to ride his old motorcyle and he said, "Mom, he goes as fast as I do." When Dawson got on the phone and Holly asked him about it he said, "I wide weally, weally fast but I can't jump until I get all growed up!"







I have two forever friends. LaDawn and Colleen. LaDawn is the queen of the marshmellow stick! She has SERIOUS roasting skills. She can roast and skin a marshmellow at least 12 or more times before it is gone. Now that's skill!



Neither Dayton or Dawson like roasted marshmellows. They just like to play in the fire!
Davy is LaDawn's youngest son, but he'll always be my kid too! Davy loves Grandma Grape and Cows! Him and Grandpa ought to get together!







Danny and Bob doing what they do best.....holding down the lawn chairs






Holly and her boys






My other forever friend just moved back home. She left for 2 years. She thought she had to go be a "city" nurse for a while. I am so glad she moved back home. We have a lot of fun together and she's always willing to do anything!
