A fun family night picking apples

Last Monday night all the kids came over for a final picking of apples.

Kaycee loved getting the lower ones.

Kate helped her mom and dad as well as carrying boxes.

Hannana and Reagan was a big help too.

The reward at the end was chili and carmel apples!

Applesauce will come later.

saying good-bye to 30 year old trees

Sorry; I don't know how to rotate my pictures on this blog.
We have had these two Aspen trees in our yard for 30 years.
In fact, when we landscaped our yard 4 years ago; the front yard
was designed around these two trees. Sadly this year they both
died from having a bore in them and had to be removed.
A neighbor called and offered to take them down; if he could have the wood.

So now our yard looks really bare (to us) with those trees gone.
We don't know what we will plant in their place. Can't do
another tree because of the roots still in the ground that
haven't rotted yet.

Another Successful Hunt for Scott

On Saturday morning Scott and Austin went up on "Monte" to check out the elk. He had been the morning before with his brother Jay and they saw nothing. So up an hour earlier the next day proved to be the "key". By 7:15, they had this bad boy down!

A Bingham Family Reunion

Last Wednesday evening we hosted a cookout for ALL the Binghams. My sister Cindy and her husband Brad were in town from Minnesota; so it was a perfect time to get together. Everyone that was living in the Ogden area came. We had a full backyard.Scott cooking our chicken.

The swings, trampoline and airplane kept the kids entertained.

The 4 Bingham siblings. Now the oldest generation of the "Glen Bingham" family.

Grandma needs more swings

Yesterday, while their parents were at the Temple dedication; we watched Kate, Kaycee, Hannah, Reagan, Cameron and James. What happens when everyone wants to swing at once?

You "share" a swing!

A weekend at Brian Head and Flannigan's Arch

After a nice dinner Friday night at Senator Stowell's house in Parawan; we met up on top of Brian Head Peak for a traditional breakfast of Bacon, eggs and pancakes.

The wind was blowing pretty hard up that high

Me getting ready for the 4-wheeler ride. It was pretty dusty.

Scott climbed down to the arch and is now standing on top of it.

Scott helped Senator Van Tassel with a wonderful dutch oven lunch of barbeque ribs, salad, cheesy potatoes and baked beans. It was fun to spend time with these guys on a more relaxed setting than in suits at the capital. Thanks to the Stowells for a wonderful weekend.
