I know, I know, I'm Obsessed!!!

If you know me at all (or for that matter any member of my Crazy Family), you'll know that we don't do things half way, or in small quantities. That being said I am obsessed with my stripe rite nail art polish!!! There are endless possibilities, and I have only scratched the surface! Here is my latest party on my toes!!! I know, I know, I'm obsessed, but it is SO MUCH FUN!!!

The Harriman Fire

This is the scene of the Harriman Fire from my front porch last night

and this morning.

A little too close for comfort. I hope everyone who had to be evacuated is back in their homes and doing alright. Crazy.

My Cute Husband (The Old Man!!! HA HA)

Jeff turned 35 on the 16th, and we partied very hard. He got some new music he's been wanting from the kiddo's and then we went to pick out new golf clubs (I know, I know, I'm the nicest wife ever HA HA). Well anyhow, When I make lasagna I use my Mom's recipe that fed my family of ten when I was growing up. Lasagna is Jeff's absolute favorite, and He always thinks that whatever is left over should be his alone instead of dinner and leftovers for another night... So His FAVORITE present was that I not only made a HUGE lasagna for the family, but he got his very own too, all to himself, that he doesn't have to share with anyone!!! I should have just skipped the golf clubs, HA HA. Na, He really likes those too!!!

Happy Birthday Old Man!!! I love You Babe!!!

"WHO" says you can't buy happiness?

OK, OK, I do know that you really can't buy happiness, but I came pretty darned close the other day when I bought This little guy!!! I can't help but smile when I catch a glimpse of him on my finger!!! (I think he goes nicely with my new favorite plaid nails!! What do you think?)

WHAT'S THAT YOU SAY?

Today I did something that I have NEVER done in my entire life!!! What's that you say? I RAN EIGHT MILES!!! WOO HOO!!! (Repeated several times while sitting down and doing the party dance. Why done sitting down? Did I mention that I ran EIGHT miles today!!! HA HA)

Kyle Ski's!!! (Well So Close)

Kyle gave water skiing his VERY BEST shot this trip at Bear Lake!!! (even though the temperature dropped to 50 and it was FREEZING on Monday) He tried so hard SO many times, and was THIS CLOSE!!!

Last Summer Getaway!!!

We Went to Bear Lake over Labor Day, and of course it was a Blast!!! Saturday was a beautiful day, but it was windy, so... the water was VERY CHOPPY!!! The kiddo's made the best of it and rode the heck out of the tube!!!

It looked like so much fun that Jeff Joined in.

Kyle is a maniac, and now calls himself as "THE TUBE MASTER!"
Jeff and the Kids climbed the rock wall,

Where Madi claimed the title as "THE WALL MASTER!"

And she also claimed the title of "PHOTOGRAPHY MASTER!" She even did a photo shoot with me as her subject!

I have been so inspired by Monica, and have been having a blast with my Stripe rite polish!! I have earned the title of "THE POLISH MASTER!"



SO FUN!!!

Jeff was worried that his title of "GOOFBALL MASTER" was in jeopardy, so he entertained us all with unending acts of goofiness! Here are just a few of the many reasons I LOVE this Boy!!!
(as if anyone could dethrone him)

GO UTES!!!

Jeff and I went to the Utah vs. Pitt game last night, and can I just say I am having a hard time talking this morning (Lots and Lots of screaming)!!! It was AWESOME! Right down to the wire in overtime, and I do have to mention that I totally called the interception in overtime right before it happened!!! 27 to 24 UTES!!! What a season opener! GO UTES!!! Thanks again Mom for watching the kiddo's! You're the greatest!!!

The Big Bad Bee Sting

Well, It happened today. You know those things you tell your kids to help them not do something, like don't pick your nose, or your finger might get stuck up there. Or playing too much video games will rot your brains out. Well Madison is terrified of bees, and I always tell her that if you leave them alone, they'll leave you alone, and I didn't even stretch the truth on that one, because I honestly believed that...until today!!! So, I was out running, and I am trying to work up to 6 miles, and today was going to be the day. I get to 4.5 and I feel something on my neck, and I think it might be sweat (I am a very gross sweaty beast when I run) but no!!! Not sweat. A Bee. And yep, it stung me. I see the monstrosity fall to the ground hoping it's wasp, but I guess today just isn't my day. You might be wondering why in the world I would prefer wasps to bees, but you see, I am very allergic to bees, so... My run was over and I headed home to try to remove the stinger, but failed, so my awesome neighbor came to the rescue and literally saved me. I just got back from the Dr.'s where I had to get an eppi shot. I feel a little woosie, and I will NEVER tell Madison that if you leave bees alone, they'll leave you alone, because they are Big Bad Bees, and I'm a Big Fat Liar!
