Grandpa goes to a Jazz game

We took Grandpa Halliday to a Jazz game and then he got to meet Thurl Bailey and Pace Mannion. They are his heroes!! We had a good time. The Jazz provided an exciting game for us to watch, beating the Oklahoma City Thunder--140-139 in overtime!

Easter picnic at Recapture Pockets

After a week of wind, snow, rain and freezing cold temperatures, we were brave and packed up our picnic and headed to Recapture Pockets. We usually have to share the area with a lot of family groups but this day we had it all to ourselves. We had a lot of fun and it wasn't really that cold there. I will warn you in advance that there are a lot of pictures but this grandma has to make sure everyone that was at the picnic is included.

Addi and Scout were so cute as they played in the sand! Addi was the cutest, little babysitter.

And the picnic was enjoyed by all


Grandma Black and Grandpa Halliday enjoyed watching everyone.........

.....and the race is on to find all those Easter Eggs! There were over 300 hidden eggs.

After the picnic and the Easter egg hunt everyone enjoyed kites, volleyball, climbing on the rocks and just enjoying the outdoors.

We lost a friend at the Lyman Zoo:(

This post and the 3 that follow will show some of the recent happenings at the Lyman Zoo. This is the sad one. Our horse, Panda, did not make it through the harsh winter. He died and we will miss him. He was a nice and gentle horse.

Who has calves in their back yard?

We are tending and bottle feeding some orphaned calves for Justin.

It has been a pretty fun job.

The puppies are getting cute

These black balls are our cute, cute puppies.

They are 6 weeks old and are almost ready for adoption.

Logan has a "Visit the Zoo" Birthday Party

Kristi decided to add a few borrowed animals to the ones that already live in our/their backyard and invited the kids over to a "Zoo Birthday Party" for Logan.

The calves and Paco were part of the attraction

This Pot-bellied pig was provided by Tori Perkins. She also let us borrow 2, adorable pigmy goats but we did not get pictures of them.

The pony was provided by the Hatchers

Everyone had a fun time. Happy 4th birthday Logan. We love you!!
