Fish Farm Outing
The week before school started, we took Allison and her kids to a trout farm in Spring City near Payson. Hailey and Dex came with us and enjoyed watching the fun. The kids had a great time fishing and they all caught fish.
It was a beautiful morning for fishing.
Evie was the first to catch a fish and she was so excited!
Sam reeled in the second fish.
Then Lillian caught a fish followed by Alex.
Ella was getting discouraged but, then she landed this beauty.
This was a fun outing and Allison's family enjoyed a fish fry dinner that night.
Conrad, Hailey & Dex
We have so enjoyed having Conrad, Hailey and Dex live with us these past few months! I have become so attached to baby Dex that I really miss him now that they have moved into their own place in Springville.
Dex is now 16 months old and learns new things every day. He talks and understands so much - what a fun stage.
I love this picture of Conrad and Dex.
What a beautiful family!
While they were living with us, I had a chance to get to know Hailey better. She is as beautiful inside as she is outside (Conrad you scored big time when you married her!)
Dex was so proud of himself when he learned to climb up onto the hearth.
He loves being outside and we spent many hours on our deck watching the hummingbirds, deer and just enjoying the pleasant weather.
Jamming with Hailey
Hailey and I Had two jam making sessions. For the first one, we went to a berry farm with Hal, Conrad and Dex, and picked enough berries to make 3 batches of jam. It was truly "slim pickings" that day as many other pickers had preceded us in the berry patch.
For our second berry making session, we purchased 4 flats from a different berry farm. We made so many batches of raspberry jam that I lost count. We also added fresh peaches to some of the batches and extended the raspberries even further.
Conrad especially loves this jam - every morning for breakfast he has toast and raspberry jam!
Tricia's Birthday Lunch
For Tricia's birthday, we went to lunch at Ginger's.
Dex was the only male invited to this all girl outing.
Hailey's younger sister Sydney joined us.
Labor Day
We gathered at our place for a hamburger/hot dog barbecue to celebrate Labor Day. It is hard to beat a good burger with avocado, tomatoes, lettuce, pickles and onions!
Here, Alex is showing Dorothy his "pickles tower".
Jon, Evie and "the ultimate chip buffet"complete with dip and homemade salsa! Good job Jon!

Cute Dorothy made a birthday cake for her mom and we enjoyed that for dessert.
Treygan and Conrad
Evan and Kelly
As the youngest member of our group and the only "baby", Dex is popular with everyone!
Labor Day marks the end of summer. I love to have the cooler weather of fall come, but at the same time, I hate to see the fun days of summer end!
