Early leaves

Karen, Melissa, Audrey and I took a scenic drive up Provo Canyon on our way to Midway.  These pictures were taken 9/10/2012.  The leaves were beautiful!!

 

Build an ark!!

It's happened.  The basement water main sprung a leak. 

Ok, not a leak a geyser!! 

 

 Food storage,  scrapbooking supplies,  fabric...

 The culprit. 

Tyler had it fixed in no time, and for the cost of about $5.00.  (The little cap on the right...)

When it broke it spewed water to the opposite wall into the food storage shelves.

By the time Kurtis realized where the water was running, there was 1" of standing water in the fruit room.  Thank heaven that only a little of the bottom of the stair space was wet.  

I called Utah Disaster Cleanup.  They were here within an hour, assessed the situation and started to remove the "stuff" from the basement.  They brought all kinds of fans and de-humidifiers.  I didn't worry about anything!!  The shelves are gone now,  and everything is dried out.  I'm still working on the personal damage part of things, but as my BFF Debbie  said, it's all just stuff!! 

first day of kindergarten

Jayleigh goes to Butterfield Canyon Elementary in Herriman.  It's a beautiful school.  Her teacher's name is Mrs. Black. 

It was harder on me than her parents seeing her start kindergarten.  I cried.  She'll do just fine!!



4 wheels and me

So, I wanted to try out the little 4 wheeler. I had Dallas take a few pictures. Thought I'd share my experience.

 I'm actually doing a trick here.  I have one knee on the seat, and the other leg is outstretched...  :)

 Here I am popping a wheelie.  (Nevermind Landon's hand holding up the front of the 4 wheeler!!) 

Dallas just rolls his eyes...Me, I laugh!!

Big and little

I do not know what it is about my grown sons riding little 4 wheelers/bikes/motorcycles that cracks me up.  But it does.  

It does kind of look like fun!!

Matt (Dan's friend) and Dan

 Big Jud's is known for the best burger you'll ever have.  Dan thought that the 2 pounder looked like one he could handle!! 

 This is Jake and Katie's little one Owen. 

Great road trip...quick, but we had a great time! 

Jayleigh's patriotic dress

We're not sure that we will get to spend time with Jayleigh on the 4th, but trying to be the kind of grandma my sister Karen is, I made this little dress.  I got the idea and the information off of Pinterest.  (I love Pinterest ;))
