Lagoon

I went to Lagoon with my family on July 20th. My family goes every year, but I usually don't go. I am glad I went with them this year. It was a lot of fun. I wish JD could have come with me. It was so much fun watching Boston and Kayden ride the rides. Boston didn't like some of them and others he loved. We hung out in the Kiddy Land for most of the morning and then we went to the big rides. By the end of the day Dustin and his friend Spencer just insisted that I go on the Sky Coaster with them. So who do you think they went to, my DAD. He told Dustin that he would pay to see me go it because he didn't think I would. So what do you think they did. Yep, that's right, they bought me a ticket so I couldn't back out. We went on it at the end of the day and what a rush. It made me really nervous on our way up to the top. Then they counted us down and Dustin pulled the rip cord. The initial fall was quick and really fun. Once the cord caught it was smooth sailing and I really enjoyed it. I honestly thought my heart would have stayed at the top more than it did. The fall happened so quick I don't think I let it build up enough to stay at the top. I am glad I went on it and I would probably go again. We didn't leave until 10:00 pm. So it was a long fun filled day at Lagoon. Here are some pictures from the big event.

Rock Crawling Competition

JD & Stewart entered the Millard County Old School Rock Crawl again this year. It was a lot of the fun. It was HOT! Which was so nice since last year it rained and it was so cold. JD competed in the stock class and Stewart competed in the Legends class. It was a 2 day competition. I have a lot of video from the competition, but it is not completed yet. So I am just going to post some of the fun pictures.

Stewart at Tip Over Challenge: You are supposed to back up the ramp as far as you can with out tipping over.

JD at Tip Over Challenge.

And the competition begins.

The final score is:

JD - 5th Place

Stewart - 10th Place

Summer Fun Catchup

We have had a fun filled summer. So fun that I haven't been had time to post anything at all, but I am going to do some catch up and post a bunch of fun things we did this summer.

BOSTON

So Boston was at my house one night and JD got the dump truck out for him to play with. Well he fit just right in the truck. So Vanessa and I pushed him around the living room for quite a while. Whenever we would tell him to hold on he would put his hands on the dump truck. He is so much fun. I love him. But of course he wouldn't let us get a good picture of him.

Stitchery Fun

So in November JD's aunt had a stitchery party. Every since then we have continued to have one. I have really enjoyed doing this. We have a party every other month. So far I have made a Christmas pillow and a Valentine's pillow. I am hosting it in March. We are doing a really fun Easter pattern. I am really exited about it. I will post a picture once I complete it. I would probably do more of it if I had more time, but I have so many projects right now. I am also working on a really cute ABC baby quilt and trying to finish my book, The Host which is finally starting to get really good.

Photo Tag

You take the 4th Photo in your 4th File and Tag 4 Friends...........

This is JD with Boston on the day he was born. We just love Boston. He is so fun and growing so fast. It is fun to look back and remember him just a few months ago, but so much smaller.

Update

Well, not much has been happening although I have been extremely busy. I have been making a tree skirt and it has taken more time than any other project. It is slow moving and lots of pieces. Luckily it's not that big, but I did get the top completed last night. Now I just need to get the back on and get it quilted. I am really excited to have it for Christmas this year. I will post pictures when I complete it. Other than all the sewing I have been planning a trip to Moab with my family over Thanksgiving. We have went the last two years and have had a great time. I can't wait to get down there. I am sure I will have some great pictures from it. Last but not least the sad news. My brothers dogs kidneys and liver were failing so they put him down. I wasn't very attached to the dog, but it was kind of sad since we have had him for a while.

Happy Halloween

I really like Halloween. I think it was really fun to dress up and see all the kids in their cute costumes. But my favorite part it decorating. This year my cousin Dustin helped me make some really cool headstones. I put pictures of all of them below. I also got some really cute indoor decorations. I was really excited to get everything put up and I didn't wait to do it. I had everything pretty well up October 1. So I didn't waste anytime. Next week are going to the Dreaded Grove with some friends it should be scary.
