Discombobulated Plumber

I really did dress this girl today, but after a messy lunch, I removed her clothes. 

I came in from putting lunch away to find this...

Obviously, she's confused...and in desperate need of a diaper change!

True Love

Ta-BACK-uh

I was listening to NPR last night and "they" were discussing Tobacco. I won't delve into Dr. Such-and-so's opinion, but it was a little ironic that as I was listening I was also driving past numerous tobacco fields.

Then I got thinking that many of our family members, having not been here during tobacco season, might like to see some pictures of it. Bart had the day "off" today (meaning he has to work tonight) so we took the kids off for a photo shoot. 

Hope you enjoy!

Tobacco in its pure form.

These plants are probably 4-ish feet high.

The vastness of the field.

I like this picture because it has the "plantation" houses in the background. (not that you can see them in this view)

It really is beautiful to look out and see all that green--even if it is tobacco. :)

"A Tatoe Bug"

This was in response to my asking Charlie what was in his hair. It was just a little lint, but his answer made me smile.

Days of the Week

In honor of Grandma and Grandpa T: 

because all their children are taking flight and we wanted to remind them of a great time...

Top 20 Moments of Good Ole UTAH

We recently spent some time with family and had so much fun we didn't want to come home! We took so many pictures it was hard to choose, so to help remedy that a little we're going to do a Dave Letterman Countdown. 

One for each side of the family--thus the 20 in the title. 

Starting with the T crew:

(and in no particular order)

10. Attending the Oquirrh Mountain Open House

Oh, wait. Charlie, Jane and Anne had to stay home because Charlie was puking, but apparently everyone ELSE had a great time!

9. Bowling

Anne bowled a 156. Not bad. 

We won't tell anyone she was one of those stereotypical college students who actually took bowling...2 semesters worth!

8. Cutie pies sharing a bed

(and a mysterious hair-puller in the mix!)

7. Swimming

6. Trying out Cooper, Grandpa's new horse

(a very affectionate horse too, wouldn't you say, Dr. Dirt?)

5. Tractor Ride

4. San Rafael Picnic

3. Visiting the Coke Ovens and the Park

(are we the only people who have ever utilized this park??)

2. Having all 9 Grandkids under one roof

3 of the grandkids are 18 months old and not interested in TV...yet

1. Visiting Grandpa's Mountain

And now for the H crew:

again, in no particular order...

10. Logan's 4th Birthday

The food...

The pinata...

The Cupcakes!

9. Meeting "Turkey"

Don'tcha catch cold now, ya hear?

8. The Popsicles

Sticks are infinitely better than Otter pops!

7. The Pool

They met at Teen Night. :)

6. The Attack of the Tree Ninja

Beginning so innocently

The hard hat required to be worn AFTER the attack
