Time to update

It seems like all I have done for the last two moths is go go go. So here are a few of the highlights from Aug and Sept.

My good friend Joann and her family, and me my girls and Grammy headed out west to see history in the making at ATK. We got there two hours before show time and had a picnic and had some good laughs and conversation while we waited. It was a good thing we had a good time waiting because the show was called off. Bummer...Grammy said "well that was a waist of a perfectly good day, oh well"

My cute little Grammy

The kids had fun playing

Happy Birthday Daddy!!!!

Dad turned 60 in September so of course we had to party. He had been having trouble with his lawn mower, and it finally just died. So this is the new one he got for his birthday. He was so happy to have a new toy. Isn't it just a beauty?

Kelly came to celebrate with us, but I guess she didn't want anyone to know so she tried to hide behind her pineapple. Hehe...I see you Kelly Lee.

It is always fun to have the girls all together, we have such a great time together. My sisters are such a blessing to me and I love and appreciate them more each day.

Balloons

We did some super fun stuff while everyone was around for dads b-day. We took Grammy out to Antelope Island to the balloon fest, and to see Garr Ranch (I think that is what it was called)

Anyway at the ranch I saw this cool old truck and had to snap a pic of the girls next to it.

Dad tried to teach Kylee how to rope a cow.

But....She missed. Good try sis.

ZOO

We also took a day and went to the zoo to see the baby animals. We really wanted to see the elephant but we were a few days early and she was not out for viewing yet. We did see the baby giraffe and baby tigers though. We really picked the wrong day to go, we went on Labor day, and it seems everyone else in Utah had the same idea. There were TONS of people at the zoo.

My Addiction

And of course I had to take more pics of the girls.

Well we are sort of caught up now so I can get off this darn purter. I will be back on tomorrow to post some more.

Why

Sometimes I wonder why I even do a blog. I don't think anyone even reads about my boring pitiful life. I never do anything exciting, we don't camp, don't have a boat or any other toys. We don't go to family activities, or take vacations. We have no home renovations going on, (wish we did) my life is so boring. I could take pics of all the new pens I buy and post all about them, or tell you all how my Farm Town farm is growing, or what I made for dinner, but would anyone even care? I doubt it. Maybe when the kids go back to school I can post about the activities they do. I don't mean to be a baby and complain to you 2 people who read this, I guess I just needed to vent to someone I will stop now.

Biker Babe!!!

Tay has been doing nothing lately but riding her bike. She learned how recently and cant get enough of it. She gets all geared up and heads out to ride. She has such an imagination in that little head of hers. I went out to ride with her one day and she took me on a "Journey". We went to Africa to see all the animals, got an ice cream cone, went to the ocean and layed in the sand, and got a snow come on our way home. I had so much fun going on a "Journey" with my little Tayter Bug, and I am excited to go on many more with her. Thanks Tay for keeping me entertained.

Swimming Lessons

The girls wanted to take swim lessons this year and this was the first time in a long time that I didn't have to work everyday of the summer (I am never going to work again by the way) so I thought it would be a great idea and fun for them. Kylee improved a lot on her breathing and strokes and Tay learned that it is ok to get your face wet. I am so proud of them they did a great job and I look forward to next year

Road Trip

My sister and Rosie were going to be in Northern Idaho for a few weeks in July so my mom got the idea to go road tripping and see them for a few days. At first I was not wanting to go but then decided it was probably a good idea, my girls were going a long so I would take the opportunity to spend some time with them, and I am glad I did.

The view from my room

We had so much fun. We went to Rosie's mom and dads place to see the new home they are building, and it is going to be beautiful when complete. We rode around on their 4-wheelers
Kelly and Tay

We went to Dwarshak Dam


And Dwarshak Res.




We also went to the fish farm but it was pretty boring, nothing but a few old salmon getting ready to die.

The best part by far was getting to spend some time with my family, I don't get to see Kelly and Rosie very often so it was very fun to see them.

The worst part.....Taylor was car sick the ENTIRE time.

COLD summer BBQ

Chads mom invited us to her place in Ogden for a BBQ last Saturday. Chad was sick so he stay at home and the girls and I went (again I know you are surprised that it was just me and the girls). We had a great time just sitting around eating GREAT food and having good conversations. It was a fun day even though it was cold.

Mom and Bob

Kylee and Aunt Sue

Grammies Flowers

I love to take pics, I know you are all surprised, so the other day when I was at my grandmas feeding the cat I took a few pics of her flowers. I think they turned out well. Don't you?
