Over Labor Day weekend, we spent some time at the Ranch sitting in the hot tub and roasting marshmallows. Then on Sunday we ate at the Hsiao house and on the rainy Labor Day we went bowling.
Brian was even able to get a few zzzzz's in at the bowling ally.
See if you can find our family in the picture below in the midst to Mark's brothers.
This last weekend was my mom's birthday and all she wanted for her birthday was to have everyone help with a few projects around the ranch. When I told Mark this he decided his project for the day would be to cut and split ALL the logs for the winter wood pile. So, he got the chain saw, we left Salt Lake bright and early and he started cutting. It took him the whole morning to cut the logs into pieces and then his favorite part, . . . .
. . .splitting the wood, could actually begin.
He split for hours until after lunch when Dave joined in. Then the fun really began. They had a competition to see how many hits it took to split the log that the other person picked out for them to chop.
Even the kids got involved and stacked all the wood. Well, Evan stacked most of it and Clara, Vivien, and Jordie did what they could to help.
Happy Birthday Mom!
