Thanks Dad

--Tonight while at my parents house--

Dad: "Where did you get that hat?"
Me: "Probably at Target or somewhere..."
Dad: "It's kinda cute."

My dad doesn't just say things like that. It made me feel good.

Rain Rain Rain

We had big plans this Memorial Day to finish our shed. When we woke up to rain we couldn't help but be a little depressed that we wouldn't be able to make the progress we had hoped for. However, I have to look on the bright side... Maybe all this rain will help the astro turf on my porch to grow???

Good Luck Em!

My friend Emily is getting ready to take her test to become a helicopter pilot instructor. She already has her private pilot's license. (I know, I have the coolest friend ever!) I was honored to be her first passenger last May. We went up for over an hour and she did awesome and the flight was so much fun!




Good Luck EM! I am so proud of you for following your dream! You are amazing and will make a fantastic instructor!

New Do!

Don't like it? Give me a couple month's, I'm sure it will change.

Girls and the Gateway!

Love you Girls!

I guess it's gonna get worse before it gets better...

Some Advice

If you are planning on using contacts to improve your vision it's best to make sure that you have them in the correct eye.

South Soccer

Every Monday the South family soccer team has a game.

The team and their most loyal fans!



Marc's ankle took one for the team. If you think this looks bad you should see the other guy...


HOLLA! My baby is always #1!

It's Not Easy Being Queen

My adorable niece Taylor tried out for the Lehi Round-up rodeo queen today. I was proud to be part of her entourage (the hairdresser). Here are a few quotes from this morning.

Taylor: "I could never queen on regular basis."

Question: If you were on American Idol and could sing a song to your horse, what would it be?
Answer: "All I could think of was Love at Home"
Me: "Uh, that's a hymn."

Taylor: "Well, I've got my looks going for me!"



Shouldn't a queen have a servant to prepare the horses tail for her? Not this girl. She is a true, blue cowgirl!

After all of the preparation she was finally ready for the "modeling" portion. She also had to answer an impromptu question. She did a great job and looked beautiful! Missy made her skirt and it was amazing!


Horsemanship was next


And finally... she won! All Hail the Queen!

Congratulations Taylor!

What a Beauty!

Ruka went to the groomer today.

Before: All this fur is weighing me down...


After: Ahhh, that's better

I love a day off

Today was Sew much fun! I have several friends whom have recently born fruit from their loins. These hooded towels should be nice for the fruit to snuggle in...

My Husband is THE Man

In addition to his good looks and sparkling personality, he is so very talented.

Exibit A:
Scary "grainery" (or old cellar) behind our house that is 100+ years old. This picture was taken in the process of demolition.



He is now in the process of building a new shed, a.k.a. man heaven, to replace it. The new structure will be up and running in a couple weeks. For now it is a work in progress.

Hello Everyone!
