1st Day of 8th Grade and another new puppy at his Dad's.

Stansbury Days~ 2019

Fri Night Tom and I volunteered to hand out the medals to the kids doing the Tri Athalon. Best gig ever!!

Sat Morning was the parade. Shelby rode with us for the 1st time. We threw 600 otter pops and handed out 50 American Flags.

Sat Night was watching the fireworks from the pontoon boat. 

A good week end. 

One of These Days.......

Echo Lake for the Royal BBQ with Jacobsens and their kids.

Take a picture Mimi. The clouds look like Heaven. They caught about 10 fish. 

Just Being A Little Boy.  Last week he asked his mom to teach him how to drive so she took him on a dirt road and he drove for 10 min. So he kept telling Papa what a great driver he was could he please drive back from the boat dock to the campground. So Papa finally agreed. Then Boo said " So the accelerator pedal is the long skinny one and the brake is the short fat one?"  That made Tom a little nervous!!!  But he did fine.

Happy 38th Birthday to Chels. Steak and Cake for dinner. And Miss B's t-shirt message for Uncle Clay since he calls her Queen B.

Shelby told us " You know my Grandpa Jimmy....he has a mustache, bangs and rock star shoes.
 (we decided those were Cowboy Boots)

Life and times of Mimi Mccarty

-Tom is in a broker chili cook off for the board of realtor party up the canyon tonight.
-there is an accident on exit 99 and I cant get home in time. So I drive all the way to Saratoga springs and make it to settlement  canyon by 5:40.

-Boo and Carson are with Tom and want to fish at the reservoir. So after an hour I go to ck on them and drive them to the party.  Heaven forbid 2 healthy 13 yr olds would have to walk 1.5 miles uphill for dinner. Well they decide they want to keep fishing. As I head back thru the gate  its locked up for the night. No phone service to call Tom.  So I park my car outside the gate and in my sandals I start walking the 1.5 mile uphill in 100 deg weather.  I text tom in case I dont show up due to heart attack or bear or rattlesnake bite that I'm walking to him and I love him. I finally make it back to the pavillion as the party is ending.  Sweaty and red faced.

HELP IM LOST AND TIRED AND HAVE SORE FEET.

And after all that guess who won the grand prize? Me. A tailgate Bar BQ WORTH $200.00 . What a night.

Mimi Days~They get less and less with Boo. But in between him asking for a dirt bike 575 times (and us saying No 576 times) we played in the lake, went frog hunting and took Oscar on a golf card ride/run. And he got to be a kid for a little bit today.

Shelby

Text from Chels:  So I'm telling Shelby to leave Kader alone because she keeps touching him and I can tell she's bugging him then she looks at me and says "What happens if you love him?"

Our week end

Our week end started off a little rough but ended up OK.

Sat morning Tom and & made it to the SLC Farmers Market and Costco & Sam's club. Our must do at least once a summer. We came home & took the golf cart to Soelbergs and got caught in the rain.

The weather cleared up and we took Gavin & Kader on a boat ride all around the lake then they spent the night on the trampoline.  We woke up Sun morning and had a nice relaxing day. Kader went home & we watched Stranger Things & golf with Gav. Tom bought a new electric lawn mower & he & Gav cut the grass. Tom made spaghetti and we had mom & dad for dinner. Then I went on a boat ride with them. And we ended the week end with Tom, Gav & I taking Oscar for a run on the golf course and hitting a couple holes of golf.  #wewillgetthroughthis  ♥  #justbreathe

Cow A Bunga - The Summer Tradition Continues - Hopefully we're not still doing this when we're 80 - but we did get a senior discount.

Celebrating Papa's Birthday. Oh Happy Day!

Things my sweet Liam said this week:

"My favorite part of your house is that you're in it. Also I like the shelf in your dining room."

"Mimi I like your sunglasses, wouldn't it be nice if they  matched your phone?"

"Have a thumbs up day!"

"Are you doing OK this morning?"

Royal Creek Ranch Open House in Rush Valley.

Tues Night is Date Night. Movies, popcorn, sometimes dinner and always laughs.

Mimi day

Well my counter says good job you went 8.

5 miles today. Hmmm...I helped tom list his house, walked to mom and dads and home, then boo and I took the golf cart to this new walking trail and to kravers for milk shakes and to papas and to pick up Braden and to papas and to the bank and subway and to papas again. I guess the golf cart counts as cycling? Sweet!!

Mimi Day

Good Mimi Day. Woke up early and took a walk. Boo spent the night and when he woke up he drove me in the golf cart to the produce guy. We made fish tacos from fresh salmon.  Papa came home a little early and worked in his garden. We went to Marta's to pick up a commission ck and to measure how much taller Boo is than Marta, their standing joke.
Then.....we had a 4:30 meeting. Since this is my happy blog I'll only write one conversation from the meeting.
 Me: "I like her."  other person in snarky voice: "You like everyone don't you Pam? "
Me: deep breath, slow, controlled voice, direct eye contact " No, not everyone". 
End of meeting.

MY TEXT TO CHELS B4 THE MEETING AND SHE DID GREAT BY WALKING OUT WHEN SHE NEEDED TO, WITH HER SON.

.

 We met Chels & Boo at our house and we fished, then Boo drove Papa and I to Kravers for Garlic Burgers & Ice Cream and we stopped by Gma & Gpas.  As we were driving thru the golf course the sprinklers were on. Papa told Boo to dodge them. As he's heading towards them I say "slow down" and Papa says "go fast" and we got slammed with water. We laughed and laughed and that's just what we all needed.

 LIFE IS SHORT. EAT DESSERT FIRST.

 WHOA! HE'S SO PRETTY.

MEMORIAL DAY.

We went to Aladdin with Papa, Doug, Jennifer & Maycee then stopped by the cemetery. When we were ready to leave I told Shelby it was time to go and she said just a minute Mimi I'm praying and she was. I almost starting crying.
