July happenings...

Hello all! I thought I would get a couple of new pictures and events recorded and reported. Though July is as always hot and busy, we had a lot of fun with our friends and family and I want to thank everyone who contributed to this "funness." We had a nice 24th of July gathering at our house, which I have included an updated picture of (our house that is). We had lots of good food and of course the Bacciocco sarcasm, bantering and crazy kids always liven up the party. Taking the kids for spin around the mountain on the 4 wheeler is always a favorite and as the evening wore on, even the adults could not resist the nostalgia of holding and waiving the sparklers, it was all fun and games until the first kid got burnt and immediately there after one stepped on a carelessly disposed sparkler laying on the ground. Lets just say at that point all Hell broke loose! And thank heavens it was time for bed. Ahhh... the memories. I have included the last picture of our Funny Hayden showing me the small group of deceased grasshoppers in his jar. He is very thorough with his interest in the "HOPPERS." First, he either finds them and captures them, or just steps on them and squishes them. If he has caught a few he puts them in his jar and checks on them daily and shows them to me at least 3 times a day. Whether they are dead or alive. All I can say is it is a good thing I had plenty of these beady eyed suckers in my back yard growing up. I still hold no remorse for the medical procedures we would perform on those little guys with our sticks and rocks. We sure have had plenty in Tooele this year! At least four or five catch a ride up the dirt road to our home as we travel past the oak brush and fields. Good Memories...Good times.
