Good Week-end. A party for friends, visiting with Big Poppa, and a sunset cruise to finish it off.

The end to a nice week-end. Captain Tom, a bottle of wine, an hour boat ride, and a nice sunset.

Good Friends, good food, good times. And a good incentive to get stuff done around our house!

Selling Books

Gavin loves to make books to sell. Gma Frances ordered one and he's always asking to set up a table to sell them outside.  Today Chelsea let him. He kept asking "Mom, why isn't anyone stopping to buy a book from me?"

MImi Day 072810 A picnic with Boo and Preston

I asked Boo what he wanted to do for Mimi Day and he said "A picnic with all my friends in Stansbury". So I asked him what he wanted me to buy to eat for the picnic and he said "Mimi, we have to see what they serve."  So  I explained that we bring the food on picnics & I convinced him if he only had one friend we could take the golf cart.  Papa met us on his lunch break, and the boys played on the playground.  Boo was telling me about what he would be doing when he was 10 and 16 and 30 (still fishing at Mimi's he said) and started questioning every kid he saw about how old they were. After several kids Preston told him that was getting on his nerves. The last kid he asked was on a bike and after saying he was 10 ~Boo told him "By the way~you should be wearing a bike helmet!"  Gotta love kids.

Before and after shots of our new granite countertops.

Yep, just a little wild, but Tom's the rockhound and LOVE, LOVE, LOVES them! He decided if he was getting the real stuff it wasn't going to be boring! ha   I will need to do a little redecorating.

Mimi Day 072110

Baby K doing Downward Dog/Yoga ~ only he calls it HOLY COW!


We stopped by Sweets Candy to pick up some salt water taffy for the McIntyre Family Reunion in PTD. 
The free tour only cost us $17.00 in candy and we gained 3 lbs in samples.  But it was fun.

Another Day, another fish.  I've convinced Boo that Mimi Kisses bring him Good Luck for fishing. So when he caught the first Big Bass  he told Tom "You're not getting enough Mimi kisses!" 

Boo was excited when Papa said they could cut up their hairnets to put bait in for fishing.

A reminder to Boo... And Killians Word of the Day

Boo & I were at a house Tom just bought & saw a can outside that the previous owners were using as an ashtray, so we threw it away.  I told Boo "We're never going to smoke when we grow up, are we?" and he replied "Mimi, when I get big will you remind me!".  So this is to help me remember to remind him.
As for Killians Word of the Day: Sponge Bob.  Yep, that's an important one and he says it so cute. Made my morning.  (not quite as cute as Boidie (birdie) that he said on Sunday.

Boo's first concert at Red Butte. Brandi Carlile was great! It's the 2nd time we've seen her.

Taking a break after dancing, and singing, playing the air guitar, hitting a beach ball & even some somersaults in his dances. He loved his first concert. 
 
Brandi Carlisle and band.  The crowd was very interesting. Lots of people watching to watch!
( And the rainbow chairs fit right in!!!)

Mimi Day 063010 Boo caught 2 Big Bass all by himself. He's so proud!

Boo & I decided our goal this summer was to visit all the parks in Stansbury Park.  So today we decided to play at five differn't ones.  After the fourth one he said "Mimi, this is kind of boring. Lets go home & go fishing." So we did. I'm not sure why we try to entertain him any other way. It's truly his favorite thing to do.  He told me today "We'll always have Mimi Days and we'll always go fishing, even when I'm 16." 
 I'm going to make him sign a contract stating this!
I got a little packing done today, Boo packed everything he owns,  we're so excited to go see Baby K!!!!
Tom bought himself a new camera for his birthday, so expect LOTS MORE Pictures. Is that possible????

Uhrich Reunion Traveling Gift

This is the poem Aunt Bertha had on the frog:
Congratulations!
 You have been chosen to be the caretaker of fickle Freida Frog.
 Wearing a tiny bikini, she love to suntan on her favorite log.
 She doesn't eat much and will be quiet as an elf. 
She will stay hidden in a box or sit proudly on a shelf.
She will be a guest at your houses for a year or two.
At the next Uhrich Reunion she will go home with someone new.

Saw this quote today on facebook and thought it was worth keeping.

There comes a time in your life when you have to let go of all the pointless drama and the people who create it, and surround yourself with people who make you laugh so hard that you forget the bad and focus soley on the good. After all life is too short to be anything but HAPPY! - Unknown

Ask and you shall receive. But it was about a Ford, not a Chevrolet....

A little Gas, A little Oil
A little Spark, A little Coil
A little Tin, A little Board
Put them together and
You have a Ford.
 
and one more song my Dad sings....
while I still remember it...
 
I had a little chicken and he wouldn't lay an egg,
so I poured hot water up and down his leg,
well the little chicken cried & the little chicken begged,
and the pour little chicken laid a hard boiled egg.
(Dad, correct me if I'm wrong.  Pam )

Thank You Aunt Roxie. My life is now complete!!!

Old Mrs Bliss
Went out to pickkkkkkkkkkkk some flowers,
And in the grass,
She wet her annnnnnnnnnkles (ankles) to her knees,
And in a cart,
She let a farrrrrrrrrrmer (farmer) pass her by,
And in a coop,
She let a poorrrrrrr (poore) old chicken die.
Now you know the words.

A SONG MY DAD USED TO SING.
I HEARD HE SANG IT LAST 4TH OF JUL
AT THE CABIN, BUT I MISSED IT.
NOW I JUST NEED THE WORDS TO ONE ABOUT A CHEVROLET.

I'm not sure if this really describes me, but I liked the quote. Somedays it may...

"My life is like a stroll along the beach, as near the ocean's edge as I can go."
