this is what 60 looks like on tom.

On his 60th birthday he chose to get up at 430 and get on a fishing boat at 530 while his wifey crawled back in her warm bed with the fireplace going in the bedroom and the waves crashing outside.

Water fun on a hot june night.

Telling Mom stories. 

Baseball slip n slide & water fountain.  

The Bowl~Tom and I stopped by the skate park to check on Boo & he was trying to get brave enough to go down "the bowl". His friends were peer pressuring him and I told him to wait until he was ready & remind his friend he didn't go swimming in the lake because he thought there were piranhas. Sat at this football game he told me he finally did it.

mimi day

My Mimi day consisted of a nice long walk on our new sidewalk by the clubhouse in the morning, a cup of tea out back watching all the birds and enjoying the lake and our yard, going with Tom to look at a house in Tooele, Wal Mart, Tractor Supply, then back into town to Cal Ranch where we bought 2 baby chickens, because they were on sale for $1.00 a piece and we do already have a chicken house and all the stuff, etc...... 

Boo got in trouble at his Dad's so he had to stay and do chores and didn't get to come to my house until later.  I believe in him doing chores and all, but maybe next time, not on My Mimi Day.  

Baby Shelby has been sick with a fever and not feeling well so we went over to check on her and she really, really wanted to "GO" with us so we took her.  I told Chels just for an hour, but she stayed for about 4. And we played and took a nap and just hung out. I could tell she wasn't up to her normal self but we enjoyed her tons. 

memorial day week end and drive to big papas.

we took the back way and stopped several places along the way. 

our last stop of the day was strawberry. 

big papa fell out of his motorized chair and it fell on top of him. Luckily all he got was skinned up knees. 

Saturday night in the gazebo having a nice dinner with Matt & Eva and Chuck and Jason showed up to use the kayaks~ but they never did make it in the water. 

mouth surgery, rain and all; our neighborhood party turned out awesome. Chels said when Boo got out of the school the 1st thing he said was "It's a great day for a Neighborhood Party".

Yay~ we make it to 40 years of wedded bliss. ♥ my first choice would be celebrating on the beach with our family, but Lava Hot Springs and camping with friends was fun also. Just as long as we're together, everything's going to be alright. .

Breakfast at Applegates.

Mimi Day/Work Day/Miss Bee Day

The last 48 hours have included an oral surgeon consultation, Winco, Macey's, pedicures with my sweetie, vinyl application to a car, a road trip to Pleasant Grove to meet our CPA Noelle, Wal mart, Costco, lunch at Lehi La Fountain, & a golf cart ride to Soelbergs along with seeing this sweetie and her big brother and getting our house & camper ready for this week end.  Whew...... plus work 

Friday the 13th and WEEK END FUN

FRI: We went to a Bee's Game. They played ALB which is the Rockies Farm Team. ALB got a grand slam and we thought they had won it but the Bee's came back for the win. Exciting game. Front row seats. Beautiful night for weather.  

Sat morning Boo was at our house early. He fished and rode his scooter and we went to his football game where he scored 4 touchdowns and 3 interceptions. I think the Tampa Buccaneers tattoos and socks & shirt we got him in FL helped. We went to lunch after to celebrate with smothered burritos. 

 Sun we worked in the yard and played. Chuck bought two new kayaks and asked to park on our beach and we could use anytime. They were fun and the lake was so clear we could see the fish and frogs and turtles.

and this kid rode his scooter over with his backpack. And inside...was Mojo.

QUOTE I SAW AND LIKED ON MOTHERS DAY~"But there's a story behind everything. How a picture got on a wall. How a scar got on your face. Sometimes the stories are simple, and sometimes they are hard and heartbreaking. But behind all your stories is always your mother's story, because hers is where yours begin" Mitch Albom
