Sweet Boys...

Dax reading to Jace last night before bed.


I left the room for just a few minutes after we read tonight. I guess my little guys were real tired! Even Frodo was pooped...

Bit & Pieces

  • WOW, only 30 days left
  • Ordered Trans-Siberian tickets
  • Seriously, I have THE BEST kids ever...
  • Husband ain't so bad either
  • I love watching Dax read to Jace...
  • I cannot believe something "blog worthy" didn't happen to me today, hence the "Bit & Pieces". Maybe something did, I am just way too tired to pull it from memory
  • That was weird, my internet just crashed and came up again. I thought I was in luck and could post something more interesting tomorrow for today
  • Jill made me drive around a block on main street yesterday because she thought she saw a mannequin in a store window move. Turns out, it was just a saleslady
  • I am special... I have to be to work at an alternative high school
  • When I drove home from work this afternoon I thought I saw a big, hairy Sasquatch in our public pool. I wished I had my camera. Maybe he will be there tomorrow

Mock - yah ing - yah bird - yah...

OK, so the whole time I was reading Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins, I would sing a little tune in my head... and still a day after finishing the book... I sing this little tune in my head!

Dax kept asking me what I was singing and why and I told him we would have to watch the movie sometime. Do you think a 6 year old is too young to see Dumb and Dumber? Seriously, this movie can still make me laugh when I think about it, and I have to say this is definitely one of my favorite scenes!

Book Review - Mockingjay

Dang. From chapter to chapter, I had a hard time putting this book down. Well written and an easy read. Nice escape...

Pet Peeve #15 - Hole #7

Hole #7 at Logan River Golf Course is a long par 5, especially for women.

While it is a beautiful hole with open fairways, cattails on both sides, a beautiful little stream breaking it up and a nice large green, it is my most hated hole. And not for the openness, or the cattails, or the fact that I have to lay up with my second shot to get over the stream, but for...

Pet Peeve #15 - Stupid Tree

No matter what... no matter where I am... no matter who I am with...
I almost always hit my second shot, usually my third, into this tree.

I always joke that someday this tree will no longer be standing there because I am going to hack it down in the middle of the night!

Fairways & Greens

Justin and I were able to get out and play a nice round of golf. It was so quiet and peaceful and the best way, I think, to spend a Sunday afternoon.

After the disastrous first nine, I was hesitant to play the back nine. Thankfully Justin convinced me that since I was all warmed up and couldn't possibly increase my score, to just keep on swinging. I am glad I did because like any golfer knows, one bad hole (or nine in my case) does not mean all bad holes. I took 13 LESS strokes on the back!

Logan River is such a beautiful golf course...

The Hills are Alive!


Today we went 4-wheeling with my in-laws, Dave and Marie. It was such a fun time together and the scenery was just spectacular! It had only been a couple of weeks since Justin and I had been up to Franklin Basin and what a difference in color... We went up both Steep Canyon and White Canyon which are off the main road from Franklin Basin.


Steep Canyon. Same dam place we always go. This is also where we went with Matt and Kristy. It gives you a nice range of terrain, from flat and easy to steep and rocky.



White Canyon. Justin and I have never been here... until today that is. It was an awesome trail with a lot of water and narrow trails through tall pine trees.

It was such a beautiful day and even more so to share it with family we love.
