Mama Mia

So if any of you have caught the Mama Mia fever you will really appreciate this! We got together with the bunco group and headed off to see the movie for some the first time and others the 4th. What a blast girls will be girls! We sang, we danced, we laughed and we cried and some even dressed the part! It really is now my all time favorite movie- love it!

Bad Day

So a few weeks ago i had the ultimate scare and i really need to journal this so i remember to count my blessings! I was helping elli with piano lessons and left Hudson on the deck to play (he normally stays there) so after about 20 min. of piano i was sending Elli to her teachers house and told Payton to watch Hudson. Payton couldn't find Hudson to watch him so i am calm for a minute i tell Payton to look around the house and in the bathrooms still no Hudson. We are now at about 30 min. since i have seen Hudson- PANIC- i am running to all the neighbors houses and one neighbor isn't home so i skip her house and keep looking for him along with neighbors helping. Still no Hudson. I decide to head over to the barns accross the street when i am passing the neighbors who werent home and tell Payton to walk in their house and see if he is in there just as i look up there is Hudson in their home looking out the window just hangin out! the little turkey walked in there house and made himself at home in the meantime we were getting ready to call the police. I am so glad it was a happy ending! needles to say the rest of the day and days that followed that little man was not more than 2 feet away from me when he was awake!

lake Powell

Lake Powell 2008

We took our annual trip to lake Powell thanks to Ryan and his house boat. We went for a week long and and i am going to try to sum it up in a few words. (ha! ha!)
sunday: "are we there yet" repeated for 7 hours strait
monday: we found the beach and headed out. (once Ryan got done playing Mr. fix it) I wake boarded- i think it was Monday! "lets go to sand mnt." "let's play games"
Tuesday: What day is it and how many days to go? " can you take me on a sea-doo ride and let me drive" Payton would ask anyone he thought would let him and it worked!!! "Ryan where are your blue gloves?" "lets go to sand mnt." "let's play games"
Wednesday: Wheres Heidi? (on the beach) Who is leaving there half drunk drinks around? (my favorite question- i was the drink nazi) Eric, Brad and Krislyn and their family arrived i drove the boat to go get them through the channel go Paige!!! can't forget that we switched beaches- it was hard to leave the first one but the second was much better! (Go Ryan and Mike) "what about games tonight?"
Thursday:Lots of wake boarding, air chair and more good food- why is it when you are at lake powell the food is really normal but it seems to taste so much better. "wheres all the sour cream?" "take me to sea shell island" it was discovered by the three little girls- Elli, Montana and Ily. "let's play games"
Friday: lets get it all in today that we can there's only one day left!!! im past the point of missing Hudson (we decided to not bring him.) Brandi and Cori "can we go yet"??? we love you two! Someone kicked the door with a lead toe and shattered the glass- who did that? "let's play games"
Saturday: we emptied out all the rest of the junk food and told the kids to have at it. We enjoyed our last night and slowly one by one fell off to sleep. "why play games now?"
Sunday: packed up and pulled anchor! Homeward bound!
There is a lot more that we did and more stuff that happened i just did the high lights. It was a great trip and thanks to Ryan and Heidi for all!

In Honor of Grandma Lucy

Grandma passed away July 24th we were all in Lake Powell so upon returning home we attended the funeral and burial which turned out nice for a funeral. The great grandkids sang "families can be together forever" and we let white balloons go at the grave site. We will sure miss her wittiness and most of all her yummy candy of all sorts! We love you Grandma!
