Shari shows off her golfing form.
While Dad and Shari were golfing, everyone else was working. Mom and Rebecca worked in the garden. They both spent the morning weeding the corn rows. Rebecca took a little while to get started, but once she got warmed up, she was able to keep up with Mom.
Rebecca in the garden. The corn may be growing fast, but it looks like her feet are growing even faster.With Rebecca and Mom in the garden, Adrian took care of Donald. He had to feed him his bottle and keep him happy. This mostly involved playing with him and rolling him onto his back after Donald got stuck on his stomach.

Friday night the Hunters came over for a visit and barbeque. The kids all ate hot dogs and Pringles, and the parents ate steak. After dinner everyone played outside. There were scooter races, games, and baseball.
On Saturday there was more yard work to be done. Rebecca watched Donald while Shari and Charlie did some weeding. Shari had to finish weeding the tomatoes that Mom started early in the morning. Charlie weeded parts of the rose garden. Adrian's job was to water and fertilize (Miracle Grow) all the plants in the garden. Speaking of the garden, we ate some beets from the garden on Thursday. Those were the first vegetables we had out of the garden, and they were a big hit (even with all the kids).
Dad's Saturday morning job was to mow the grass and do some weed eating. Mom went into Salt Lake with Jessie to go to the temple. They met up with other family members before a cousins wedding.
After all this, the yard and garden looked great, but everyone was tired. We'll probably take the rest of the weekend easy.

Man gardens and yards are a lot of work. I guess we have one reason to be grateful for the Home Owners Association! The fresh vegetables are so great though. We just spent $9 on cherries at the farmers market. (didn't realize they were so much) Would have been cheaper if they were are own. That's for sure. Glad you were able to squeeze some fun things in between all the weeding.
What a fun and productive weekend! I'm so glad I could read all about it and see the pictures. You Blodgetts sure know how to have fun. Mom and John came back with me yesterday and now they are both sick today. Some vacation...
I'm glad they are here and hope they get better.
I love reading your blog. Keep up the good work!
A garden! With tomatoes! You're living out my wildest dreams. We always had a garden growing up and Zach's family has had a big one since I can remember. That's something I really look forward to when we're all done here. And cherry trees. I'll need some cherry trees. Oh, and raspberry bushes. So much to look forward to, and still so much more time to live on Oki. . . I miss you.
what? you let your daughter wear an abercrombie shirt? shocking.
I finally figured out how to put up your blog on the Weir blog. Sorry it took me so long. I'm not so smart with computers.
