Private Back to School Fashion Show that Rocks!

It's school time already and the summer has been a blast. Looking back on all we have done in a short time no wonder it flew by. Well time to gear back up for school. The girls went with grandma to Justice and as usual they worked her over. When it comes to shopping for clothes my mom is the best to go with. She is the one who started my bad shopping habits and continues to pass it down. The girls came home decked out. Funny how most of it looks very familiar to what I wore to Jr. High. I guess I have been around long enough for the styles to make their way back around. Neon, paint splatters, converse, skinny ties, pegged pants AKA skinny jeans. They look adorable, and totally put on a show for me.

Becks Cabin

Stacy and Chris invited us up to their cabin. Chris worked so hard every weekend forever, and boy did he do a great job. It is up in Timberlakes, Heber area. We had the best time. I can't believe all we did in just 2 days. We rode 4 wheelers, took our boat up to Jordanelle on Friday and it was so relaxing. I don't ever remember being out without my kids and it was kind of nice. We headed out to Park City on Saturday for my favorite Baja Cantina enchiladas and rode the slides down. What a great time. Thanks so much for inviting all the friends up. I am so lucky to have such wonderful friends I have cherished for more than half of my life now.

Wild Hogs

So we are off for a full day of Harley Riding from Escondido down Pacific Coast Highway

The Wild Hogs are ready to roll Jodie, me, Michaun, Sheldon, sis Amber, and Larren

Jodie looks the part for sure a little different than his old bullet bike of the 90's and the mullet/fuzzy mustache days.

First stop Oceanside where we learn after Jodie turns off the bike the electronic key is long gone and the bike will not start without it. What high-tech crap is that a key that falls out. So we give Will a call the kid who smoked his breakfast and took 1 hour to check us in. Well bless Wills heart he came through and gave us another one. The you didn't give us the key line didn't work but $60 for a new one did.

Mishap #2 last stop in Huntington, got to get the bikes back in 1 hour, Larren left the stupid high tech electronic key on though the bike was off so anyway ran down the battery. CHIPS were no help so we hide, dudes got a jump from a blonde. Yes and we are off but not without a stop at Sprinkles in Newport, and the best Gelato this side of Rome. And believe me I have sampled a lot of Gelato.

Jims Surprise 60th Birthday Party

American Fork Steel Days Parade

This year Zoey and Addi were in the parade for Twisters Cheer. Avery really got into chasing candy and wrestling with the older kids. So much fun for her. Later that day we went and BBQ at Aunt Colleens office on main as we watched the old cars cruise, and then carnival for Avery. She had her hands in the air for the dragon coaster. This 2 year old has no fear.

Diego Animal Rescue

I was going to add more flowers to my planter box under my front window, until I discovered I have a quail sitting on 12 eggs. The very next day I went to check on my eggs and 10 had hatched, one didn't and a baby bird was left behind not looking to strong. Zoey was bawling her head off worried about the baby bird. I called around and found out that the quails leave their nest and they usually don't come back. So now I have a cute baby quail and I want it to live. The only bird rescue is in Price, or Ogden. So I put the bird in a box, and off to the bird rescue. After a hand off to another good animal rescue ranger in SLC the baby was off to his new home. Later when I got home I found out the family had only moved next door under a bush. all that for nothing. I would like to think the mom would have just ignored it and I still saved him. At least Zoey could rest easy..

Zoey Astros

Zoey's first year playing baseball. She did really well and loved it. She was on a coed team with her friend Bethany Pyper with Jodie and Lance coaching. She picked up on it really quick. She said it gave her butterflies in her stomach she would get so excited. She started out having to have baseball pants, but towards the end she traded them in for her black mini skirt, Astros jersey, peace scarf, and black beanie. Ms. Fashion even on the field. Unfortunately I didnt have my camera handy and my dad took her the game. I would love to have seen the crowds face when they saw her get up.
