New Layout

I have discovered how fun it is to put new layouts on and all. lol
So for this week here it is!

Life is Life! Things are going great!
Feel like all I do is work and nothing at home gets done. haha
Ty has been great at helping around the house! It it weren't for
him this week our house would be a dump!

Can't believe its fall! We need to go take a good drive around
to get some awesome pictures! Well happy fall!!

It was Ty's birthday on Sept. 22. I made meatloaf! It was yummy yummy! I have been working making more things from scratch, instead of from a box. lol Doing good so far. :)

New Post

Well I just wanted to post. :) I'll get some pics on here soon! :)

What a weekend!

We had a wonderful weekend!
We started off with a busy week, getting moms garage sale ready!! Mom made over $500! Just what she needed! I think it was a little motivation to keep de-junking things and all! I felt great cause it was my idea and at first I wasn't sure if it would happen, but it did!

SO much thanks to Ty, he worked on it EVERY day last week, between the 2 storage units and the garage PLUS we went through lots of our stuff at home to sell too! Plus all the siblings that helped! Brando helped Ty lots too! I feel bad cause in my eyes he's still my little nephew, but in reality, he is a grown up! I remember being 18 and being treated like a little kid. But Brando did ALOT too! Even if it was telling me to get out of the way so he could lift something or do something faster than I was. ;) Mom was so happy with the outcome, which made it even better!

During the garage sale, Ben invited Ty and I to go down to Mt. Pleasant with them to meet up with Wendy's parents who were down there! We hurried and packed up after and headed down! It was a BEAUTIFUL drive! Brought back a lot of memories of Dad. He loved driving down there! I couldn't for the life of me remember where it was at. Ben kept telling me and then Jill told me, and I still couldn't picture the area. THEN we pulled into Fairview and it all came back! lol. It was fun though! I wish I got more pictures! We got down there just in time for dinner, and then campfire! Wendy's parents bought into the Camper World. It was WAY nice! Glorified Camping! Nice showers and swimming pool, flush able toilets too! They had other family there too, so we went to their trailer for the campfire, and we sang songs and roasted marsh mellows and starbursts! Then Sunday Morning I got up early and had a nice warm shower, and then we had a wonderful breakfast! Mary Jo (Wendy's mom) is so nice to us! Craig & Mary Jo are also our landlords. But offers us meals all the time & doesn't mind us crashing their parties. lol. But then we had a little Sunday enlightenment of watching a Church History DVD and then off to the pool!

THE FUNNIEST PART was Ty. haha. He sometimes is accident prone! We all got ready, changed and got sunscreen on, we all had our arms full of either a little one, towels or pool toys. Suddenly Ty stumbled...he ran into one of the sprinklers that stuck up out of the ground 12 inches! But it didn't just bump it, it BROKE! Water was coming out so Ty tried to screw it back down, when the whole pipe broke! Suddenly water was coming out like a rocket!! Seriously 7 or 8 feet in the air! Ty's face was PRICELESS! Ben went running to get someone to turn it off, meanwhile Mary Jo tells him to keep trying to stick the pipe back on, and so Ty in the middle of the Geyser, soaking wet, trying to see what the heck he was doing, kept trying! lol Man it was good! I felt bad! But I was laughing so hard and Abby started crying cause she was scared. lol. Good times! It was a fun last minuet camp out!

I remembered Dad driving us down there, in the big red van. Either visiting Amway people or Jill down at college. He loved that area greatly. Here is a pic of Dad... my favorite. This was taken in March of 2007. A month before he was diagnosed with Cancer. Ty and I loved the trip with him! He always talked about Moab & we had been down to Family Reunions but never to camp out! Anyways- I just had a flood of good memories and wanted to post something!

Well I will post a few pics I got this weekend! Look for them in a few days! :)

Ty's personal fav. :)

We like going up little cotton wood canyon... we played around in the granite quary.

We had fun playing on this big rock!

Enjoyed a day at temple square

Ty & I found this cool canyon, then Jess I went up one day for fun!

Summer Days

are the BEST. However I feel I am missing half of summer... where did it go?

Things are going great for Ty and I. Ty finishes school this week! YAY! Until

September... But atleast we'll get to spend some evenings together without the

HUM 102 book on his lap. lol :) He has done very well again this semester!

The counselor at BYU was very impressed with him & how he keeps progressing

each semester. :) It's a good thing! Also told him to take some of his art work to

these counselors in the Animation Dept. and see what they say. He might be able

to skip a few classes.. or test right out of them! We'll see.

Were excited for August. Were moving up to Riverton next week, we drive up there 5 of 7 days

and it's a lot in gas! Working up there is nice, but I hate the drive! It's getting very old. I thought

it wouldnt bother be so much, but it does. lol Ty is looking for work up this way now. We are praying something comes up fast!

I will up load some pictures of late, in a day or so. Have a great day! :)
