Good Morning!!

Time for more random pictures with a back story.

Good Morning!!

Rylee & Ruston wake up each day to this face.

Ranger came to visit and this is what greeted me each morning.

His nose gets him into trouble when he visits.

Scary!! Miss Indy

Not sure what is up with this scary face.

Sunday dinner, Reganne style

The rest of us enjoyed a more

traditional dinner of pot roast, potatoes, gravy, and corn.

We had guests today. We love it when Destiny & Ava come over.

Someone found my little rod iron bike.

Ava decided to give it a spin around the room.

She didn't fully understand why she couldn't make it go.

Fun fact...I have never tried home grown eggs.

Thanks to Fredy he was will to share.

Love his cool packaging.

Multi colored and great tasting

thanks Fredy for sharing.

Loving the many adventures this past week. Most of all hanging with family and friends.

Missing Bowl, Haircut, and Concert

Action packed week or weird week? You decide but I can tell you it's always a little weird around here.

Missing Creami Lid

Looked high and low in the pantry for this lid last week before making new smoothie bowls for the week.

Made the bowls and covered it with plastic wrap.

Started the search again and found it sitting behind the potato chips.

Look who got a haircut.

Nice and short to avoid the shedding soon to come as it warms up.

She has been a little chilly. Good news it grows back really fast.

Tuacahn stage

Fun night with my friends at the ABBA Tribute Concert

Awesome seats

Notice the little girl in the middle.

That is Liz's granddaughter Raylin. Security asked her if she liked to dance.

And she did!

I am exhausted!! It seems that I always have weird pictures and crazier stories that go along with them. They are always true. You can't make this stuff up. Am I the only one that feels like that?

DHHS Swim Banquet

Swim has been finished for about a month and it's time to party. Who better to party with than friends.

The whole team

Dessert Bar

I'm giving up my sugar day for treats.

Senior presentation

Senior Gifts

Team Captians

Solmun, Hunter, Ryder

Team mates and friends

SUSA kids

Ryder & Chesney

They have swam together since they were 9 years old.

They love to compete against each other.

Depending on the event they trade off winning.

It was a fun night celebrating each one of these kids and their accomplishments this season. Whole lot of laughter tonight is better than shedding a few tears that this is coming to an end.

Finding Memories

I need to tackle my storage room. It's a mess from top to bottom. When someone needs to find something the mess from looking is not picked up. Today is the day to start.

One container dumped out for use elsewhere contained Rylee's kindergarten master pieces. They earned that title from a 5 year old who caught her mom throwing them away. Quick thinking we decided to put these master pieces in a plastic tub and keep for always and forever. 18 years later time to revisit the past.

Life size picture of the body.

This may not be from kindergarten after all.

A pilgrim with a

poem written on her dress.

A large scarecrow

Not a picture from a Topsy Tail

used daily with the girls hair.

You never know what treasures you will find while cleaning. Sent these pictures to Rylee to see what she wants to do with master pieces. She did remember making them but doesn't have any place to keep them.  A memory lasts forever with a picture as a reminder. It's time for these wonderful master pieces to be memorialized in a picture than making a mess in the storage room.

It's Another Busy Weekend

The 90 Day Challenge is about 60 days in and I am still looking for a healthy chocolate chip cookie recipe. Thank goodness Ryder is patient and gives them a try.

Attempt #??

This one calls for rolled oats and chilling in the fridge for an hour.

Have to love Spring weather.

Snow on Pine Valley and blossoms on the trees.

Does someone have a online shopping problem.

That would be Reganne. Not necessarily a problem when her job gives her Amazon

gift cards every time she takes an extra shift.

Sunday stock up

These all need to be filled with chocolate base

for the Creami Machine.

DONE!!

Dave & Reganne will enjoy these over the next week.

No sugar!

Cookies made

Left oatmeal cookies. Right chocolate cake mix cookies.

Ryder vetoed this recipe.

Keep looking Mom!!

Sugar Day Treat

Reganne bought me Zeppis for a treat.

It hit the spot on a Sunday night.

The hunt continues for the cookie. 30 days left in the challenge. Weekly stock-up is also complete. Everyone have a great week.

 

Visitors

There is nothing better than having visitors stop by. 5 minutes, 5 hours, or even 5 days we are here for you.

Great lunch and visit

with my sister Sharai.

Guess who is back for a visit?

Miss Indy & Ranger

Piper was so glad they came over. However, Dexter wasn't as excited.

Rylee & Ruston

checking out this BMW that came to town for a visit.

This boy ix exhausted

after visiting his friends.

Miss Ava and her jewels

Destiny & Ava came to visit for Sunday dinner.

Found these jewels while cleaning the storage room.

Elmo needs new batteries

Thank you Ryder!!

Dave & Ava

Painting together

Dave was extra reactive in making a garbage bag dress

to keep her clothes clean.

Always remember that we love visitors. No need to call ahead. Drop in to say hi, eat, and have a great time catching up.

Hello March!

It's a beautiful day for the beginning of March. Spring is one season in Southern Utah that is very unpredictable. The weather can and will change weekly, daily, and even hourly if you are lucky. 

Perfect day for a motorcycle ride.

Dave & I sent to LaVerkin for lunch.

The old wagons bring back memories

of growing up and spending time on the farm

with Grandpa & Grandma Johnson.

More memories

Dexter trying to figure out where the jungle gym went.

It was well loved by kids & dogs alike.

It has become a safety hazard and had to come down.

Yep, that's snow!!

Not much stayed on the ground but the change

is real from a couple of days ago.

Let the spring begin and all the fun that it entails. Don't pack away your winter clothes just yet.

Another Month Wrap Up

February is in the books and it went by really fast. Sharing the final photos of the busy month.

The dogs are barking like crazy.

I headed outside to see what actually was going on.

Surprise!!

A big beautiful balloon.

Time to go inside.

Grand Puppies

and they are picture perfect

I am convinced that Rylee has some magic to get them both to sit still for pictures.

Weather station

showing something really rare.

It's the same temp outside as inside.

Not sure if either is correct.  It looked cool.

Goodbye February and hello March!! 3rd quarter is ending for Ryder only 3 months before school is out.

 

2025 CSC Final Countdown Meet

It's the last club meet of the season and it's in Cedar City. Ryder is ready to give it his all and hopefully get another qualifying time for Zones next month.

All is quiet..at least for now.

I brought my veggies

still going strong in the challenge.

Getting ready for his event.

I'm on the other side of of the pool.

I get the turn end tonight.

Ryder & Coach

Advice, tips, and tricks shared to improve preformance.

Someone is starving

That is a big hamburger

We had a great time!! Watching great swims and kids having fun together. The officiating can be hard standing there in one spot for 3 hours. What makes it fun is hanging out with all my friends.
