Jason is 32!!

The gang drove up to Storm Mountain to celebrate Jason's birthday. Roasted hot dogs and s'mores were the menu items.



Isn't Gregor a Jason clone? Kinda scary. . .


The Nazi Forest Ranger rode his golf cart around the picnic areas making sure no one was walking in the rivers. So instead of wading in the cool mountain stream, we sat on logs and ate more s'mores.

Back To School

Mothers across the country are breathing a sigh of relief as kids head back to school. My darling daughters started school on Monday and were so excited to get back to learning, homework and tests.

Kelsee is a senior at Taylorsville High this year and Mick is an 8th grader at Bennion Junior. Her goal is to pick on as many 7th graders as she can. Don't they look spiffy on their first day?

Mick Turns 13!

Nothing says "Happy Birthday" like a giant shrimp. McKenzie turned 13 on July 22 and we celebrated at Bubba Gump Shrimp. We were in Southern California on her birthday and spent the day riding Tower of Terror, Grizzly Rapids and California Screamin'. It was tons of fun. Mick is so much fun to be around. Here are just some of the reasons I love McKenzie:

1. She's fun to be around.
2. She keeps me up-to-date on the latest music.
3. She makes a mean chocolate cake.
4. She's a great friend.
5. She has an amazing sense of humor.
6. She has some great pasta recipes.
7. She is so patient with her nieces and nephews.
8. She has a great laugh.
9. Her acting skills are the best.
10. She's a Guitar Hero rock star.

Love you, Mick!! Happy Birthday.
