A LITTLE ACCOUNT OF OUR SUMMER FUN!!

THIS WAS SUCH A BUSY SUMMER AND FULL OF FUN AND EXCITING THINGS! IT WENT BY WAY TO FAST THOUGH AND IT SEEMS THAT IT GOES BY FASTER EVERY MONTH, I MADE A COMMENT TO MARTY THE OTHER DAY, THAT WE JUST HAVE TO LIVE EVERY DAY TO THE FULLEST, BECAUSE IT IS JUST GOING BY SO FAST. I SEEN A COUPLE THE OTHER DAY THAT WAS CELEBRATING THEIR 65TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY, I DON''T KNOW WHO THEY ARE, BUT IT STRUCK SUCH A CORD IN ME. ON ONE HAND IT MADE ME WANT TO LIVE EVERYDAY BETTER WITH MY SWEETHEART AND ON THE OTHER IT MADE ME KINDA SAD TO THINK THAT MARTY AND ME HAVE BEEN TOGETHER 20 YEARS AND IT JUST ALL WENT BY SO FAST. SO I TOLD HIM THAT WE HAVE TO BE THE CLOSEST WE HAVE EVER BEEN IN LIFE, SO THAT WE NEVER HAVE ANY REGRETS, AFTER ALL WHEN THE KIDS ARE GONE, WE ONLY HAVE EACH OTHER AND I WANT US TO BE THE BEST OF FRIENDS STILL!! HE JUST SMILES AND TELLS ME, HE LOVES ME AND THAT I WORRY OVER THE SILLIEST THINGS!! ANYWAY SOME HIGHLIGHTS OF OUR SUMMER WERE,
1. CHEROKEE GOT HER DRIVERS LICENSE (THIS WAS HUGE!)
2. THE 4TH OF JULY WITH CONTESSA AND LORIN (IT WAS SO RELAXING AND CONTENT KNOWING I HAD ALL MY CHICKENS UNDER MY WING) IT'S A MOM THING
3.WORKING ON THE BASEMENT(BECAUSE I GET TO DECORATE SOON)
4. WATCHING CHEVY TURN INTO A YOUNG MAN(HIS VOICE CHANGED)
5.WATCHING CASH LEARN TO TALK(HE NEVER SHUTS UP)
6.WATCHING MARTY JUMP INTO THE LAKE TO RESCUE OUR PHONES(HE IS PRETTY FAST FOR 38)
7.GOING TO SOME GREAT PLAYS IN ISLAND PARK
8. GETTING MY NEW SANTA FE
9.GETTING PRODUCE OFF MY GARDEN(SO FAR ONLY ZUCCHINI) BUT HEY I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SUPPLY THE WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD WITH IT!!
10.GOING ON CAR RIDES WITH MARTY AND SEEING THE BEAUTY ALL AROUND US FROM OUR HEAVENLY FATHER
ALL IN ALL IT HAS BEEN A GREAT SUMMER AND WE HAVE HAD SO MUCH FUN BEING TOGETHER AS A FAMILY.
IT IS KINDA SAD WHEN YOUR KIDS GO BACK TO SCHOOL, KNOWING THAT YOU ARE LOSING ANOTHER ONE THIS YEAR TO LIFE. SOMETIMES I REALLY WISH THAT I COULD OF HAD TEN KIDS, BUT WE ARE SO GRATFUL FOR OUR LITTLE CASH A ROO, HE WILL BE HERE UNTIL I HAVE A FULL HEAD OF GRAY AND MARTY HAD A CRICK IN HIS BACK!! ALTHOUGH, I HATE LOSING MY CHICKS, I ALSO HAVE GAINED ANOTHER AND I LOVE WATCHING MY KIDS EXPERIENCE LIFE AND I HAVE CHUCKLED MANY TIMES AT WHAT THEY LEARN AND HOW THEY HANDLE IT. BEING A PARENT IS THE GREATEST BLESSING ON EARTH!! GOOD -BYE SUMMER AND HELLO FALL!! LOVE TO ALL, C

ONE OF THESE WINTER DAYS!!

I AM SO TIRED OF MY BLOG PICTURES, BUT SORRY I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL WINTER AND WHEN I HAVE A LITTLE TIME TO CHANGE EVERYTHING, YOU SEE I HAVE THIS LITTLE MONSTER THAT LIKES TO GET ON THE COMPUTER WITH ME AND SO MY TIME IS USUALLY LIMITED TO SHORT SESSIONS. I WOULD DO IT AT NIGHT EXCEPT, I AM FORTY YOU KNOW AND I NEED THE SLEEP TO HELP WITH THE WRINKLES I AM GETTING!! SO FOR ALL OF YOU THAT ARE IN YOUR THIRTIES, TREASURE THESE YEARS!! ANYWAY, I THOUGHT I WOULD AT LEAST CATCH UP A LITTLE ON WHAT WE ARE DOING AS A FAMILY, CASH IS WITH MARTY AT THE MOMENT SO I HAVE A FEW MINUTES. JULY WENT BY SO FAST AFTER THE FOURTH, WE CAUGHT UP ON YARD WORK, WORKED IN THE BASEMENT, WALLPAPERED-THEN ARE TAKING IT DOWN BECAUSE I DON'T LIKE IT!! CHEVY WENT TO SCOUT CAMP FOR A WEEK, SO I DECIDED TO GO TO UTAH WITH MARTY AND STAY AT CONTESSA'S, WE HAD ALOT OF FUN DOING SOME CRAFTS AND I HELPED HER RE-ARRANGE HER LIVING ROOM. IT WAS NICE TO SEE MARTY AT NIGHTS, PLUS I GOT TO COOK DINNER FOR THE BIG TEDDY-BEAR OF OUR FAMILY. I ALSO GOT TO VISIT WITH MY GIRLFRIEND THAT LIVES IN LEHI, SO THAT WAS ALOT OF FUN. I THINK THE BIGGEST HIGHLIGHT OF THIS MONTH WAS-EVERYONE IMAGE A DRUM ROLL IN YOUR HEAD, BECAUSE THIS IS BIG!!

CHEROKEE GOT HER DRIVER'S LICENSE FINALLY!! AND YES I HAVE EVEN LET HER DRIVE WITHOUT US!!

WE ARE EXCITED FOR SCHOOL TO START, WE ALL DO SO MUCH BETTER ON A SCHEDULE AND BESIDES I NEED A BREAK FROM TEEN-AGERS THAT ARE BORED ALL THE TIME. I HAVE BEEN BUSY SEWING AND SCRAPBOOKING TO HELP TIME PASS, CASH IS PRETTY GOOD WHEN I DO THIS, SO THAT HELPS ALOT. WE HAD TO SHAVE HIM THIS SUMMER, BECAUSE SOME WOMAN MESSED UP HIS HAIR CUT, WE WANTED WHAT YOU CALL A FLAT TOP MOHAWK, AND SHE JUST GAVE HIM A MOHAWK, IT WAS HILARIOUS, I WILL TRY TO POST A PICTURE LATER. SO HE IS A LITTLE BALDY AND HE MISSES PLAYING WITH HIS DILLY-Q AT NIGHT, SO HE HASN'T BEEN SLEEPING REALLY WELL. ANYWAY, WE ARE ALL GOOD AND HEALTHY FOR NOW, WE MISS EVERYONE AND HOPE TO SEE SOME OF YOU SOON. WE ARE GOING TO ISLAND PARK TO SEE A PLAY FOR MARTY'S BIRTHDAY ON THE 7TH IF ANYONE WANTS TO COME AND SEE IT WITH US-THE TICKETS ARE $25, FOR A PRIME RIB DINNER AND THE PLAY-PER PERSON, IT IS WELL WORTH IT!! LOVE YA ALL, CHERISE
