Blackham Update (July 2, 2017)

Cal's girlfriend Kate worked at Kneaders for a couple years. She told Keaton he should have applied there, but he did just get accepted at KFC, just as Callahan is leaving it (Cal will be training at "Caption Call" this coming week. Pays more, less greasy). Callahan was able to receive a grant and scholarship with KFC which has pretty much paid for his first year at SLCC (it was one of the reasons he stayed as long as he did). 

I guess I haven't written for a few weeks. While I'm behind on the family blog, I have kept up with at least my once weekly update on my JenB's Journey where I do a weekly update (weigh in and quick week recap which is focused on exercise activity) and five weekly photos. I also keep my "journal" (Daily Doings) online there. So if I haven't written an update and you really want to keep up with what's going on ... ;) http://jenbsjourney.blogspot.com/


Sorry to hear about your bees leaving you Chris. Our guy goose took off last Sunday :( Our girl goose took off Wednesday morning. She however, showed up again about 12 hours later. A neighbor saw her fly in and came to knock on our door, just to make us aware she was out front. Gray opened the door and she had followed the neighbors up onto the porch and she walked right into the house. Gray walked her (through the kitchen) to the back where she went straight for the water. She's still flown a bit, but tried to cut the flights short to stay in the yard. She went over the fence (circling around to the front) another time but I was able to run out front and walk her back. The ducks are starting to fly a bit too. I planted a bunch of stuff, but I don't know if the birds will stick around that long to see it grow ... they ate all my watermelon starts. 

Gray and the two littles went to Bear Lake last weekend. Keaton would have liked to go, but he was gone to basketball camp at Dixie that week and didn't arrive back before they left. As Mom mentioned, Gray's mother took a fall and that was hard on Gray not to be in town to help out when that happened. She's doing okay, taking the week off work (driving) but is a little worried about work piling up. She just got a new puppy too. 

Cooper was invited on an overnighter up to Pineview. Camping and boating with his buddies (from basketball). That was his first time away from home non-family. Gray and Landon/Keaton/Colton went up Friday with the waverunners (but missed Cooper, as that crew was on the way home then). 

I'd been looking at 5ks, as Cooper had been interested (he and Landon ran one earlier in the Spring) and saw one close by at the West Jordan park, just $10 registered up to 10 people in a family/team. Usually they are quite pricey (often raising money for a good cause, but still a bit unaffordable for the whole family) so I signed us all up. It was yesterday, and it was fun. I wasn't sure how Colton would do, but he was speedy! We all got great times ... I'm pretty sure it wasn't a fully measured 5k ;)  as my time was TOO good at 29 minutes ... I was thinking I'd come in around 40min).
