Fun Times...And Still Alive!!!

So...here's the video I made mention to on my last blog!!  It's not bad & it's not the worst that happened that day, but it's still not something that you want your Mother to see!!

Squaw Peak Trail_Memorial Day 2009

I've gotta start this blog out by stating/testifying that I believe WHOLE-HEARTEDLY in guardian angels!! Even for the unwise!!!

Today my good friend Spencer & I went ATVing & after completing some work that he had to do on this wonderfully BE-A-UTIFUL Memorial Day, we hit the canyon!! Spencer was able to convince a friend of his & her roommate to join us!! We had some great fun, including PB&J or PB&H for lunch, snow slide climbing & LOTS of nature!! I LOVE being in the outdoors & friends make it all that more enjoyable!!

PS - I've been advised to not show me coming across the Snow Slide!! If you'd like to see it you'll have to talk to me in person!! Or maybe I'll post it later...we'll see!! LY!!!!

Jared's B-day Dinner & Playing w/Mator_05232009

This last weekend started as another one filled with fun AND family!!!

I LOVE special occasions which provide excuses for us to get together!! This time it started out with a celebration of Jared's birth!! Jared chose to have dinner at the Macaroni Grill in downtown Salt Lake!! It wasn't the best meal we've eaten together, but we were together...that's all that matters!!

Saturday we took Mator out for some Memorial Day fun!! I was VERY nervous that it was going to be SUPER crowded due to the holiday, but to my surprise...there was NO ONE there!!! And when I say "no one" I'm not exaggerating!!! You can see in the slide show below that I'm telling the truth!! I had such a GRRRREAT time, even though I mostly just spent my time sitting with the none-riders!! I LOVE being with my family & seeing others having fun & being happy!!!

Valentines Weekend 2009

This weekend was like most of my weekends lately...I got to spend it with Family!! This weekend was with "the Landlord" & his family!!

Friday night I was invited to go to dinner with "the Landlord", Beckham & Avi. We went some place I hadn't been for months...Burgers Supreme!! MMMM!! The kids were excited as well...at least at first. You can tell from the pictures that things changed thru the meal!!

As I've mentioned in an earlier blog "the Landlord" owns a flower shop!! And as you know...Valentines is a VERY busy time of year for florists!! In fact...Valentines is when florists make most of their money that helps them to stay in business for the rest of the year!! This Valentines "the Landlord" asked if I would help make deliveries. I helped them out last Mother's Day & it was VERY rewarding seeing the joy that these Mothers experienced from such a simple act of kindness by their LOVEd ones!! I wanted to witness this "joy" again so I HAPPILY & WILLINGLY agreed!! Sadly, this year, I only got to make about 3 deliveries & none of them were home so we just had to leave them at the door!! :'( All well...maybe next year!!!!

{Sadly...none of these balloons were sold!! Why not?!?!}

{This one's for you Sis...Happy Valentine's Day!!!!}

One of the funnest parts about Valentines this year was after the snow stopped falling!!! I got to spend some "quality" time with Mator!! After cleaning the Landlord's driveway I went across the street & started cleaning off the walkways of the church. The best part about cleaning off the church walks is doing donuts in the parking lot!!! I've been contemplating selling Mator cause I'm getting desperate for money (DANG economy!!!!), but after this weekend...there's NO way I could get rid of him!!! It's just WAY too much fun!!!! I can't wait for the weather to warm up so I can hit the trails!!!
