Lagoon 2026

It's been a couple of years since our last visit. It's time to have some fun. My goal is not to throwup.

They are off with

me bringing up the rear.

Reganne & I's 1st ride

The Ferris Wheel!

Dang! I may not make it through the first ride.

She found the wheel to make us spin.

Next up..the dragon

and even more spinning.

I held it together.

Rattlesnake Rapids

I bowed out and watched in the shade.

Very Berry Dots

Nice and cold but not recommended.

The Sizzler

Reganne & Ryder were willing to it a shot.

Me however bowed out.

Last ride of the day!

Broke down with people running around inside.

Rescued, Reopened, and one last ride.

Had a little issue getting out.

Dinner afterwards

Pier 49 Pizza in Springville.

Amazing food and 

amazing service. Thanks Grandma JeanAnn!!

Great trip and I didn't embarrass myself or the kids. I hope they had even more fun that I did. It was an exhausing weekend.

Third Set of Wisdom Teeth

Ryder was ready to have his wisdom teeth removed after me dragging my feet on setting up the appointment. He wasn't prepared for how fast they could get him in. So here we are 2 weeks later full of nervous energy and not sure about the whole IV.  Bright and early on a Thursday morning and home by 7:30.

He could climb in the Hummer.

We are headed home for him to sleep it off.

He survived the IV.

He was shocked to see that it actually happened.

He rolled over

and was out like a light.

I was off to get prescriptions and check in at work.

My phone dings!!

Hi Mom!!

We did get meds and a little food in him.

A whole lot more sleep.

Day 2

Not so angry looking and a little swelling.

But a whole lot of Hangry!!

Drive thru at Popeye's

Yes the man on the scooter was waiting as well.

After 10 minutes of no movement.

Backed out and headed home.

Potatoes & Gravy

Luckily I remembered that I had a package of instant potatoes.

Homemade country gravy.

These are the BEST!!

Not sure he is all with it if these are the best.

Day 2

A little more swelling

But still very Hangry.

Cream of Chicken Soup

and some KFC potatoes and gravy.

Not as good as your's.

Day 3

Chipmunk cheeks

The hangry is slowly going away.

Day 4

Looks really good with 

very little pain.

He survived and so did everyone else. This is one adventure towards adulthood that I am glad is behind us. Teething, walking, potty training, kindergarten, and wisdom teeth removal all milestones towards adulthood.  

Incoming Text Message

Note to self when a text message comes in with pictures of Ryder sitting in an unknown car. I should start to ask questions. I knew they were going to an estate sale of a local man who had passed away. Dave & Ryder are in heaven.

I'm worried know

They all 3 made their way to our house.

Happy 4th of July

Ryder's driving skills are put to the test.

Can he back this down our crazy driveway to the garage.

Rylee found her dream car

in the same garage.

Your eyes are not deceiving you it is pink!

Test drive

After a little TLC it runs!!

However, you can run faster than it.

They bought it!

Wait a minute?

Shouldn't that be in the car and

not on the driveway?

We are officially full.

There is no more room at the Water's Garage.

Not sure what happens next with these cars. Stay tuned I am sure there will be future updates.

Happy Independance Day

It's a beautiful day for a parade. Time to find my spot.

There it is

Loading bags with apples.

Zion being pulled

by Popcicle!!

So many volunteers

Unrolling the flag

The middle or the end?

We made it to the end of 

the parade route.

The trick now is finding the family.

Found them!!

Thank goodness the monkey towers over everyone.

Grease Monkey Float

with the Roadster.

The Monkey Crew

Grandma JeanAnn & Grease Monkey aka Leo

Rylee driving the Corvette

Ryder jumped in as well.

Ruston brought up the rear

with the bus!!

Love the decorations.

Ending a busy day

with a family BBQ

This is one of my favorite holidays!! The fun, sun, and celebrating how special our country is. My decoration will stay up for the summer. You can never have too much red, white, and blue.

Mom's Random Stories Issue # 5

Another roll through my camera roll.

New flavor

Just for Reganne.

She's home so let's give them a try.

Really sweet with crunchy sugar and a slight pancake flavor.

I prefer regular Oreos

It's too hot for a run in the

desert. 

Let's try the school by Rylee & Ruston.

All 4 ran and played for about 1/2 hour.

They were done!! It's way to hot.

SURPRISE!!

Homemade bread

Reganne's 1st attempt all she needed from me was showing

her how to kneed.

Oops!!

We forgot to spray the paper.

Stuck, the inside was good. The crust was crap.

Toys on the stairs

We don't have a 2 year old.

We have a Piper who throws the toys down the stairs.

Then runs down to get it.

This month has been crazier than I could have ever imagined. What could happen in July? Will it be as busy or quiet? Who knows?

Then This Happened

Well we needed to stop for gas, treats, and a bathroom break. The pumps were full as well as the store. Made it just in time. Climbed into the truck and reached to buckle my seatbelt. In that moment everything slowed down as I looked up to see a BIG white truck backing up like we weren't there. Then BAM!! 

The hitch went through the

door panel.

Thank goodness the cupholders caught my fall forward.

Sitting back up and somehow between my glasses & the cupholders

I was bleeding.

Honking & shouting

We moved to another area of the parking lot.

Reganne ran in for bandaids.

She came out with the manager as well.

She was so sweet cleaning up my face and put a very large blue bandaid on it.

Then the sherrif, ambulance showed up.

I felt really bad taking them away from the fire. They were good and covering the town.

A trip to the ambulance

No stitches needed, no more bleading, and a better bandaid.

They even threw in an ice pack.

No ride to the hospital.

This is definitly a place with great customer service.

Remember to stop there on your travels on I-15

We made it home about an hour later than planned. My head hurt and so was the truck. The other truck had zero damage. The driver was a 21 year old girl headed North to college. "I didn't see you" "Why do I keep doing this?" She was really rattled but listening to her talk to her parents this was not the first time running into other vehicles.
