Mom's Birthday

Well, today is September 26th and my mom's birthday was August 2. Hmmm....this picture it a little old. Anyway, my mom sells the DoTerra oils. We all use them and we all love them. So, my mom invited my aunt and my aunts friend to try some new foot thing that has oils in it and they also had virgin margaritas with lime oil in it.

Oh, and that is Brutus. Sill dog!

Herriman Fire

Well, I have some time on my hands...or I am sick of the pictures on my email...and I am going to blog:)  This post is going to be about the fire in Herriman. This fire started by lightning and burned for a few days maybe. I don't really know actually, I just have some cool pictures.  Anyway, this fire wan't close to our house...in fact, all the fires out here are not close to our house. I guess we are lucky like that. The closest fire we had was that our neighbors boat caught on fire...

 This is the view from our driveway.

 This view is from my driving home from work. 

So, maybe this blog isn't very interesting. Well, the fire happened a while ago and I am mulit-tasking. I am watching Big Bang, texting, and chatting online. Hmmm..maybe I should chew some gum too...ha ha...lame joke! Just let it happen.

Hmmm....well...

I guess it's been a while since I have posted anything. There have actually been a lot of new events in my life, but 1. I don't have pictures of them or 2. I can't get the pictures off my phone.  So, here will be a simple list of my life this past little while.

1. Brutus is officially all done with his shots!  This means I can now take him to a dog baby sitter:)  He weighs 36 pounds and is super cute. He also finally learned how to 'shake'. Ugh, that one took a while.

2. I bought a new car. Was this a good idea? No, it wasn't. Is my car super cute? No, its not. Oh well. Anyway, I did it. I bought a Mercury Milan. Its a nice car. Definitely and upgrade from the focus.

3. Went to a family reunion at Joe's Valley. I boated and went 4-wheeling. It was a blast!

4. Monster trucks were here. They were pretty awesome. I just like them.

5. Boys. Hmmm. Well, the "rose guy" told me he would dig ditches and move mountains to make me happy and that he would rather I 'use and abuse' him than not talk to him at all. Ugh.

Then, there are two other guys. One gave me a hickey on my neck. Not my most shining moment. My family all saw it and now I am super embarrassed. It did, however, match my 'white trash' outfit for monster trucks. Anyway, he is a father of two and works for a bank. We will, for future purposes, call him 'hickey guy'. He likes me.

Then, there is another guy. I am pretty sure I have talked about him before. We will call him "tattoo guy" because he has some pretty awesome tattoos. I just like him, but he is busy with softball and his daughter. Who knows, he may also be using me, but whatevs.

6. School starts at the end of this month. I'm going to take business classes. Please Bless it all works out.


Well, that is just a little bit of what is going on. I'm sure once school starts, I will start blogging a lot more because I will need to be on my computer again.

Bear Lake

My brother Chad did some work at a cabin in Bear Lake and in return our family was able to stay at the cabin for a week. Since I used pretty much all my vacation time this year, I was only able to go up for one day.  So, on Tuesday, Michelle her kids, Jeni and her kids, Jeni's sister and her kids, and I went up. It was fun for a day.

 Memphis and Cody had a water fight with water guns. ha ha...it sure was cute!

 I love the beach! I just sat in the sun most of the time. I have a HUGE fear of water and fish. The water was up high and there was a lot of junk in the water. I walked in for a second and then something touched me...so I was out of the water super fast!

Not only am I a fan of 'Swamp People', but when I was a little kid, we had an alligator water toy. I found this at the store and had to buy it!  The kids loved it. It looks like they really were riding on an alligator! Fun!

Of course we had to go to Le Baus for ice cream. This was a small cone! I of course had a raspberry shake. It was delicious. Yum!

Bear Lake sure is a pretty place. I liked it up there and would have enjoyed going up there again, however, it was really nice being here at home without any kids or pets. 

Monster Trucks....or not.

I took my sister and her kids to Rocky Mountain Raceway the other day because Grave Digger and the Ninja Turtle were going to drag race. It was fun...but I guess I was hoping for more monster trucks than we saw. Anyway, it was still fun, but when it was over, I was ready to get out of there!  The kids had a fun time though. 

 This is me and Gray. He doesn't look too happy here...but he liked it.

 So...it wasn't really monster trucks, but drags with nitro funny cars and some other like rocket cars. It was SO loud!!

 Gray, Madison, and me with Grave Digger after the show:)

Michelle is smart and if the kids were good, they got these glow sticks. They sure liked them.

 We were a little late due to a few things....oh well. Anyway, when we got they had the monster trucks out so people could cheer for who they wanted to win. 

 Here they are facing off. 

Grave Digger won both times they raced.

This is the rocket car! It was pretty awesome.

Another Weirdo

So, my co-worker said to get on a dating website called "plenty of Fish". I was hesitant at first because I have done the online stuff and it hasn't worked in my favor at all. Anyway, one day I gave in. Not really to date anyone, but more for some entertainment and if something came of it...I would welcome it. So far I have met two guys. The first guy is from New York and is here living with his dad. His dad owns a bar in in Salt Lake. Anyway, we hung out once. I wasn't too into him, so I wasn't going to put forth any effort to the relationship, especially because there was another guy that I thought was pretty cute as well:) Anyway, on to the bar guy. So, I didn't really hear from him until about a week later. He first apologized for not talking to me and he told me it was because he started to date a girl. Good for him. He then proceeded to tell me that they were looking for a girl for a three-some and he thought of me. Ha ha...how nice. I told him 'no thanks, I'm not into that kind of stuff, but good luck'. Serious....where do people like this come from.? I guess people are into that kind of thing...I have just never been asked to be a part of something like that before and I wasn't too impressed with it.

Then, there is another guy. We will call him tattoo guy because he has a few tattoos...but one is super cute. Ha ha....its a little kid cartoon pirate. We have hung out a few times. I wouldn't mind if something happened with him....but I think he is a game player....as in he will text me and when I respond...he responds a few hours later. Its very frustrating...but he makes me smile. I guess I will let this one run its course.

That's about it for dating. The Rose Guy still talks to me. But my dating life is boring. I guess now I am just looking for something but I don't know what. I'm still trying to get over Minnesota. One would think that I would be over him by now...but I'm not. I see things every day that remind me of him and I sure miss him,,,but that doesn't really mean anything. I don't have his number anymore and I haven't talked to him for a few months. I was hoping Brutus would help...and he has a little. Oh well, I guess only time will mend a broken heart.

Mr McShittles

I re-named my dog to Mr. McShittles. He poops ALL the time!  I talked to the vet about it and we are going to change his food. He also now weighs 20 pounds! The vet said he would get about 80 pounds and his head is a really good size and shape. Anyway, he is a good dog...but we are still working on potty training and biting. He likes to bite...especially me. The vet said we needed to work on letting him know I am in charge. But, over all, he is a good dog.

 He sure is cute.

 He likes to bite me. I feel like when I count money back to people at work, they think I must cut myself. Ha ha....dang dog. 

 One arm is scratched, the other arm is bruised. So people probably think I do drugs. 

He is not a fan of the car, but when he does drive in the car, he is on the floor next to the AC.
