Tank installed

 We finally got the tank delivered.  We are on the last stretch of the septic tank.  Ross has worked long and hard to get this completed this year.  Linda is standing on the tank.  Below Keith is standing on the distribution box. 

 Ross was the official tractor operator.  He dug all the holes for the pipes.  Keith and Ross had fun calculating on the flow of the pipes.  It has been a real learning experience for us.  Ross can now say he has put in a septic system. 

This system is huge.  Ross built up the dirt so no one will drive over the system and destroy it.  So much work.  Amazing that we got it this far...that is due to Ross being such a hard worker.  His mind was made up and he did it.  Just love that guy!!!

Hailie's Birthday Party

 We celebrated Hailies birthday at the cabin in the cool country.  Here is a picture of Grandma Jean with Sean.  Sean is wearing Grandpa Stan's suit.  Doesn't he look nice.

 Big Al enjoying the swing.  He loved it at the cabin.  Such a good baby.  Below is Hailie opening her birthday presents.  After she opened them the girls played and played with all of them.

 Big Al just chilling on the floor.

 Her birthday candles.  Big 3

 Lucy, Gracie and Hailie decorated cookies. 

 Bath time for Big Al.

 Sunday we had a lesson from Lucy.  We all had our Sunday clothes on.

 Grandpa reading a story to the girls.

 Lucy holding Alexander.  Cute.  She was a big helper

 Playing in the sand.  They followed Grandpa's example of jumping off the side of the cliff and jumping into the sand.

 The girls loved watching Bompa & Nana kiss.  Papa is growing a beard.  We have spent the last 3 weeks at the cabin and Bompa looks like a mountain man.

Fun Birthday for Hailie.  We will have to make a tradition of it.  Fun weekend with the little girls.

2nd Reunion

 Grandkids love Nana & Papa's bed

 I loved the picture above - all the BIG Kids sitting at the little kids table.  And the picture below with Chance and Spencer with his root beer mug.  Uncle Gary made his special concoction

 Grandma Jean is the official "Orange Juicer".  It was the best OJ from Uncle Dennis' trees

 Heywood's don't know how to sit still.  We spent the reunion putting in our septic tank.

 Our big helpers - Tyler, Hunter and Clark. 

 Ross made his own screed.  Weston, Jesse and Dad screening out the rocks.

 We had to get the sand level.  There was so much work to this septic system

 The cheering section.  Stella, Rhett, Marie, Olivia and Aaron

 Nathan came over and helped.  Notice how Weston and Nathan are working so hard on their seats.  Marie is the boss with her arms to her sides.

 Hunter doing a very important job to keep the material in place while they were making the cuts.

 Now for the fun.  Red neck pinata.  Little kids.  Kate and Hailie, Roxie and Stella digging in.

 Now for the next age group.  Gracie, Lucy and Aaron digging for candy.

 The Big kids make the most mess.

 Then Spencer decided to put the wood chips down the boys pants.  Let the throwing begin.

 Even Jeddy got Clark back.

 I think the kids love red neck pinata.  A tradition to keep.  Thanks Grandma Jean for all the fun.

Griffins day at the office - TRACTORS

 This little boy loves TRACTORS.  Weston toke Griffin around and he got to sit on each tractor in the yard.  He was in Heaven.  Thanks Uncle Weston!

 He loved the tractors then Griffin found an empty trailer.  Griffin ran up the ramp and started doing the "Happy Dance".  Grandpa and Weston also joined in the dance.  He was so happy.

 The boys moving and shaking the trailer.

 Hailie was also at the office and she was showing Griffin her daddy's work area.

 Weston's (Lance's old truck) was sitting at the yard, so Griffin wanted to sit in it also.

 Griffin found Weston's football.  He is built as a football player.

 Then the 2 went in the office and started typing.  Such hard workers.

 Oh he found another tractor he had not sat on and touched all the knobs.

This is one happy boy in tractor heaven.  I love the way he says "tractor".  Thanks to Grandpa we have tractors.
