our 4th of July

The Stadium of Fire this year
had Carrie Underwood Headlining.
It also had The 15 year old and I in it!
The 15 year old was in the biggest Eagle Scout Court of Honor ever held.
The Governor was there and the Head of Scouting was there.
I even shook Lou Diamond Phillips hand. I also shook the hand of the oldest living Eagle Scout and also LaVell Edwards hand.. There was quite a crowd! 50,000 to be exact!
My cousin John Houston played in the Eric Dodge band that performed as the opening act! They were Great!

My sweetie was in charge of the camera due to the fact that I could not carry one..We also had to be where he could not be.. so no pictures of the eagle scout thing!
The best Surprise was that my sweetie's cousin JS and her son KS was also doing the Eagle Scout thing!!! What a life saver!!! We had a Great time!!!!

As you can see , my in laws and our Daughter CF and her Husband DF also came to see the 15 year old and myself be in the program...
One of the neat things that they had was an Eagle's Nest for the court of Honor.
They had every Eagle scout in the audience stand and hold a paper with the Eagle Scout emblem !!! it was quite stunning to see all the eagle scouts that were there!!!! It was amazing!!

We were also able to spend time with our oldest son and his wife in the morning before we drove to Provo from Draper. It was Great to see them!!

The next day we woke early and made it back in time to eat with My Brother and Sister's Families for Dinner!!! It was Great to see them too!
We had not seen our Brother since January when Mom died...So it made it extra special!
The following day the 15 year old was in the Town parade again wearing the Scout uniform carrying a banner in front of the National Guard entry..
that Evening we had a BBQ with our across the street neighbors and then family and neighbors came to light of ton's of fireworks and see the city ones.. it is always a "BLAST" HA HA

We had a Great time.. The only thing better would have been seeing our Oldest Daughter and our Grandson and Christian!! (YOU WERE MISSED!!!)

I love the 4th of JULY!!! Ü

Max's Summer Do!

The pictures are back words the first 2 are after shots the last is the before!

HE is half Maltis and half Palmaren (I think I spelled that wrong!)
We just wanted to see how he would look with his face cut short!!
Well, now we know!!




Yikes!!


I think we will go back to the OLD CUT NEXT TIME!!!

I can hardly believe he is the same dog!

It is like he is only half the size he was!
That shows you how much hair he had!!
He was all hair!!!

He has been so hot with the sudden 100% weather!
He should be able to cool off now!! HA HA

More Eagle Scout Pictures..

The 15 year old and his Friend both have Family Connections to the
Mormon Battalion!
Our Boy from his Father's Side
and His Friends were connected by both of his Grand Parents sides..

So besides the normal Eagle Slide, they both received the Mormon Battalion Slide.. It is a Buffalo skull..

June 2010 What?

So... We started our Saturday

with a little yard work and
the usual Saturday things.
We made a Tee time for 1:30.
Things were Great!
As you can see in the Middle
was at the beginning of the Adventure!

We hit the 5th Hole, Lighting ,Thunder, Rain
and HAIL!!!!!!
What the Heck!!!
It is June!! SUMMER!!!!

The 5th Hole is the farthest from the Club house...
Who ever made the golf carts not be able to go
very fast was never in a Hail storm, being
PELTED by them!!!!

Our neighbor hood was covered in Hail...
All our Gardens were Trashed!!! I will take better ones when the weather calms down..
Our gutters were full and over flowing due to a glove stuck in the down spout!! How NKnew!!??
Also the water drains that we installed were full of grass.. that is why the pictures of our back yard
looks like there is hardly anything there..
WATER!!! ThaT IS WHY!! My Sweetie came to the rescue and cleared all the drains!!!
We had water all over in the back yard before he fixed it!! YIKES!!!
I would have taken better pictures of the problem, but I had left my PURSE in the cart in our
mad dash to get out of the Hail storm!!! So I drove back while he fixed all the water problems!
They have Flash Flood warnings till 9:PM tonight!! Really?? No Kidding!!!! YIKES!!!

Someone is Golfing!

The 15 year old is signed up for a Golf Clinic!
HE is Doing Great!
I took some pictures of him while I was waiting for
them to be done.
Today is the last day!

He is off to Youth Conference starting this evening!

He has a VERY FUN SUMMER planned !

We are Very Proud of HIM!!!
