Another Tuesday

Okay so last Wednesday was Zeke's first day of school and he hated it. I couldn't believe it! I had to make promises so he would go again. I will post pictures when I get my machine to work again. Since that day I have been dying to share the pics, and I can get my printer to transfer my pictures. It's driving me crazy! Anyway so while that's driving me crazy I will get it to work and post them. Also this last weekend Mark, I and Zeke went to Boise, ID. I have some great pics from that and we had a great time! So I am still here and working on my picture drama!

Crazy Weather

Okay so this is a crazy day! We were inside when we heard this loud crackle and pound and here comes thunder. Then in a flash here comes the hail storm, and Zeke is outside before I know it with his rain coat and boots.

This pile of hail lasted all day and Zeke thought that it was a snow storm and was so mad when it melted. He wanted to build a snow man. It was adorable!

Yes here the kid is wearing shorts and underneath his rain coat he was wearing a sleeveless shirt. Of course after I took this picture and realized what he was wearing we got on him some warmer clothes. He was so quick to come out and play I had to to just let him!

Seriously this was crazy our driveway by or on the way to the Barn had at least over 2" of standing water. It was so crazy and of course we had made plans to work in the barn today. At least it was cool weather. I couldn't believe how much ran and hail we got. I know that in this neighborhood the other ladies heard and saw the same thing in their own houses, but I just had to share the craziness here at ours! And of course the fun Zeke had in the rain!

Hmmmm.

Okay so I know that I have to be the worst blogger, because I don't do this enough. I wish that I could say everything on this blog that is on my mind. But because I can't and because I would be crazy to; everything is good and everything is crazy. August has been a very busy month for us we have had Birthdays and Weddings and you name it we've probably have gone through it. So for all you fellow blogger's I am making a new goal that I will try and least post something every week. I need to for myself! To remember that I need time for myself also! Pictures will come to another post. So please come back and see what I'll have! Thanks and keep smilen!!!

24th July

Okay so my sweet Zeke would not wearing anything but his Superman clothes. So instead of fighting him I just said strike a pose. Plus I was exhausted!

Zeke and my cousin Jacob. Whenever we get together they have the best time together!

The picture before this one was just a small group of us. This adorable chubby chubby is Madison. I just love playing with her and pinching her cheeks and legs! It was SO much fun having her and her Mom, grandma and aunt with us! Zeke and Jacob again. This really how they were most of the time at the parade. My cute Mom! We had so much fun together!

And this picture below is my fun sister Kara! I was so glad that she came!!!Okay so here is Ray. She came and watched the Parade with us, because Janice had to work. But we wonder if she really watched! My brother Ben and his Wife Kristi after up in the canyon My new pyro. He loved lighting fireworks and trying to play in everything. Or should I say that he was trying help out his Daddy and Grandpa!

So the last 2 pictures were of Ty, Kristi and Zeke. Watching us light off Fireworks!

Okay so everyone who doesn't know for our Family tradition. We meaning my Mom and Me go out on the 23rd in the early morning to save our spot for the next day. We save a big area for the 24th of July Parade. A few years ago I was resenting sitting there all day and night for our whole entire family, plus friends with very little help. This year I didn't care because I viewed it as hangin' out with my Mom and Zeke. It was a lot of fun. So on the 24th we watch the parade then our whole family heads up to City Creek Canyon and have a picnic. Play in Canyons for awhile. Then typically we go home and crash!!! Later just my family comes over and we eat, swim and light off fireworks or we go and watch them. This year we lite them off and watched the neighbors illegal ones. It was fabulous!!! I really enjoyed this years tradition.!

So Long to the Cabin

So last Thursday and Friday the 10th and 11th we were moving our things out of our cabin. So I saw this great opportunity to take a picture or two of course of Zeke out in our meadows. It is so beautiful there. For you who don't know where it is it's down in Brian Head.

It was sad leaving the cabin, but in all reality we are trying to simplify our lives now and we just have way too much stuff. We've had a lot of fun there and it was a great place to have, but we look forward to the future. We will be very excited and blessed for doing what is right for our family. We hope someday to have a cabin in Bear Lake. To which that is where Mark has a lot of memories with his family!

These past pictures are by our cabin at Cedar Breaks. The view there is spectacular. I know that these pictures don't do it justice but you can still see how beautiful it is there. Very peaceful at above 10,000 feet.

Our 4th of July for 2008

We went to the Zoo like a bunch of animals!!!! It was actually not that busy this year and we had a blast!!!

I do remember how to blog.

This is at the Santa Monica Pier in California Zeke had so much fun!

Zeke loving the sand by the Ocean Me getting attacked by the Ocean this was one of my war wounds from the ocean.

I think the ocean won! This place with Mark, Zeke and Janice was the best it was in Malibu. Janice looking so dang cute! Janice doing her natural pose for me as we go you'll see a different pics of her.

Okay so I know that it has been forever since I have posted something so here I go. We went to California the end of June and had a great time. We went to the Santa Monica Peir and to the 3rd street promenade. It was a blast to watch all of the talent there. We also went to the Beverly Hills Shopping Center and saw Tyresse (the actor) he is so gorgeous. We got his picture from behind so we weren't to obvoius, but Mark went over and shook his hand and got his autograph.

Mark and Tyresse - (he is the black bald guy)

We also went to the Wax Museum and the Ripley's Believe it or not museum.

The wax museum with one of my favorite actors
