Higham's New Roof

It was time to redo Jennifer's parents roof. The original shingles had been on the roof for close to 30 years. I made this shirt especially for the job.

  We wanted to make sure that we got it done before the start of football season. The weather was overcast most of the day and did not rain. Great weather for shingling a roof. We started at 8 am and were finished around 7 pm.  I enjoyed about 8 of those 11 hours.

 We were so glad to be finished. Ernie and I were the only two working on the roof and could have used some help. I used the nail gun to put in over 5,500 nails and being on a slope that long made for some sore muscles. When we were done, it looked great and Tammie was very pleased.

Y Mtn Hike

We have always talked about hiking up to the Y on the mountain in Provo.  Finally we we did it.  We wanted to do it before the football season started.  We went early in the morning to beat the heat.  There are 12 switchbacks that wind their way up the mountain.  Seth and Carter did well, with much prodding and encouragement.  I carried Keenan on my shoulders.  Jennifer carried Keenan for a few minutes but decided I better take care of him.  She took Seth and Carter by the hands and helped them to keep moving.  

It was quite a climb.  Once we got to the top the boys wanted to walk around on the Y.  It is pretty steep and not good footing for a boy.  We took in the view and rested a bit before heading down.    

While at the top we were able to spot three temples (Provo, Provo City Center and Timpanogos).  

Castle Valley Pageant 2014

We went to Castle Valley Pageant. We got there early so there was plenty of time to participate in all the activities. We got prairie diamonds, they are bent horse shoe nails. The boys tried to milk a cow. We sampled homemade honey taffy.  



 

 We watched a horse be shoes and then went on a wagon ride.  



 

It was a fun evening. We are happy that Grandma and Grandpa Jenson joined us. 

Jeremy Evans

We went to the BDAC to see Jeremy Evans.

He came and did different relays and competitions with the kids. They also did shooting contests and the team that lost had to run around the gym. All the kids had a great time.  

Carter did not want to wear his shirt because it is to big, but was willing to hold it up for a picture. They got Jeremy Evans to sign their t-shirts.

This is how the boys compare to a professional Jazz basketball player. 

Army Truck

 

At International Days the Army had some of their trucks. The trucks are so big.

 

 

Carter loved all the seating in the back and the tires that are taller then him.

 

 

The boys got to sit behind the machine gun. They thought that they were big. 

Bike Parade and Kids Day

 

For International Days in Price they have a kids day. To kick off all of the activities they have a bike parade from City Hall to Washington Park. The boys were super excited to ride their bike down the road behind a fire truck.

Once we got to the park there were all kinds of activates for kids.

 

This was one of the boys favorite. It is a crash demo. The cars back up then crash at 5mph. It is to teach kids the importance of wearing a seat belt.

 

They were also pretty good at twister. We had a lot of fun and look forward to next year.

Seth's 6th Birthday

Seth started out the morning (6:45 am) with opening one present. He did not want to have to wait all day to open his presents. He was content to open just one and save the others for after dinner.

We spent the afternoon at the wave pool. We had a great time and got a little to much sun but it help the time go by quicker so that Seth could get to the rest of his presents.

  

He got a Nerf gun with suction cup darts, a BYU hat and a ninja vest.

Then the cake. It was a strawberry cake with cool wip on top. It was very well enjoyed.
