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.

Bringing Her Home

We are headed for another road trip to Logan to pick up Reganne.

Loaded up

It didn't take as long as we planned.

Emptied, cleaned

You can see the vacuum lines.

Even the bathrooms

One last room to pack.

Clean out and ready to load.

We are on the road again.

This looks like smoke not just clouds.

What's next?

Grapes & Mountain Dew

It was so good to slow down and find time to celebrate. Stay tuned there is more to come.

The Heat, Debates, and Yogurt

It's starting to warm up and the summer craziness is beginning.

St George City purchased new slides

that are attached to the parking garage

at the new city hall.

News reports claim that they are made of metal that won't heat up.

We had to check out these $400,000 slides.

SORRY!! 

They lied they do heat up and will burn your butt.

Utah 3rd District Debate

WCSP Group attended and I brought Ryder along.

Liz was able to introduce him to Celeste Malloy.

We all voted that she won hands down.

My sleep score of 100%

I have never been able to reach a perfect score.

I can say it felt great and I hope to repeat it soon.

We found the best yogurt ever!!

Made with fresh raw milk and best ingredients ever.

Ryder has ate everything I have brought home.

He asked him to buy the large size.

64 ounces!!

Vanilla Bean Maple

Yummy, but holy cow that is a large bottle.

Thanks Milch Haus!

The craziness is worth it when you have great food and friends. How many adventures can we have this summer? Maybe as many as possible.

Dave's New Project

Dave's creative juices are flowing again. The sneak peek from earlier is now ready for a full reveal.

The brackets came from the our

old swing set.

amazing.

Matching benches

Delivered to Rylee & Ruston for their backyard.
