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?

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.

It's June

June is here and it full steam ahead for a busy summer. The weather is slowly warming up after the early heat in April.

Piper's nose almost looks
as big as Rangers.

This amazing setup is

A tea party
Rylee does know how to throw the best parties.
She amazes me with all she is able to do.

Not to be out done

He makes these projects seem so effertless.

Next step burning

It's only the first week of June and we are already knee deep in projects. Maybe a few adventures along the way.
