Doesn't this just make you smile?

Doesn't this just make you smile?
It makes me smile
My little "nunkey" (monkey)

He's really good at giving "nunkey love"
He wraps his little arms around your neck,
and his legs around your waist,
and gives you a big squeeze and kiss on the cheek.



And my good friend, Heather Jo. She makes me smile :) Brought me a Cafe Rio Salad a few nights ago and made my crappy day better.



Our Park City girls getaway.
That made me smile.
That's Heather, her mom Laura aka my second mom, and Laura's sister Mary aka my "other mother."

Have you tried the apple pie carmel apples in Park City? To die for!
The carmel/chocolate/walnut ones were my fav.

Friday posting

It's friday. Time for a post :)
A random post to get the things out that are on my mind:

-There is a messy monster that lives in my house. And it's winning!

-Cinemark Summer Movie Clubhouse rocks! 10 kids movies for $5 with the punchcard. We've been to Megamind and How to Train Your Dragon so far. Looking forward to the next 8. Cheap entertainment.

-I love that my kids can't ruin VHS movies. DVDs are another story.

-We've got our white silky hen sitting on her eggs. Maybe she'll actually hatch something. We'll have to wait and see.

-I am bummed I never got to see "Unknown" and "The Adjustment Bureau" in the movie theater. Just not the same from the redbox.

-Do we really need all these blankets lying around my house? Okay, of course they are good in an emergency, but since when did making a fort become an emergency?

-I wish I could just take the locking gas cap off my car. It's annoying to use. Stupid gosh dang people, going around and stealing people's gas right out of their driveway!

-So glad to have an automatic sprinkler system that works. We went years without one, until Dan put in a whole new system a few years ago. Lawn is watered before I even open my eyes in the morning.

-And I'm definitely NOT a morning person. Not now. Not tomorrow. Not ever!

-Hunter made Taco Soup last night all my himself. He said the last time we ate it was when I made it and took it to Nedra's. Um, that was in DECEMBER!

-Becky came and picked up the puppy last week. They were so cute. Had a pink collar with jewels on it, matching pink leash and a little dog tag the shape of a bone with "Sammy" on it. As per my kids request, I called two days later to see how the pup was doing. She said Sammy was whining a lot at night so they put her in bed with Haylee and she hasn't whined at night since. I'm sure the pup is loving it there.

-My cats are getting up in their years. They both are turning 7 in July. Love those cats. Good mousers in the barn and so good with the kids. Both female, both fixed.

-I just got done reading "Inside Out" by Maria Snyder. I didn't want to put it down. I would recommend it to anyone for a good read. I am currently reading the sequel "Outside In" with only 30 pages to go.

And that's all on my randomness for today.
I think I need a coke.
I definitely need a coke.
I see one in my near future.

Montana and Memorial Day

Dan took a couple days off and headed up to Montana with some of his buddies. It's quite a drive but worth the fishing :) Looks like he had a great time!


On Memorial Day we spent a few hours at the indoor pool. Dan's camera is water proof so we got some fun shots under the water. I hope my kids get their dad's swimming ability. I keep making him show them how to swim because he is so good at it. I always plug my nose. He never does, lol. Hunter is quite the little fish and since we spent most of our time in the pool where Carly could touch the bottom, she was pretty independent. She looked at the pictures and said "Look! I can smile under water!" Fisher was in heaven in the water. He wasn't too sure about the orange kids slide. Even though it was only like a foot deep at the bottom of the slide he would still go totally under the water and come up yelling and pointing his finger at me and would give me "the look" He totally changed his tune when we borrowed a Diego life jacket from the pool and went down twice more. He keeps saying he wants to go back and use the Diego jacket. Might have to buy him one :)
