My babies!

I can't imagine life without these extremely attractive and intelligent people! (I don't care how old they are- they will always be my babies.) They are the best part of me and I am honored to be their mother.

Friday, Nov. 28 Chan and I hiked from Sundance to Stewart Falls. It was a fun hike and the weather was perfect. We enjoyed it so much, we decided to return the next day with any grandkids who were interested in an adventure. We had two takers, Tasha and Addi. It was even more fun with them- although we did a shortened hike.

We had a close-up look at 4 dams built by some energetic beavers, threw chunks of ice in the river, ventured off the trail into some aggressive shrubs and learned (thanks to Grandpa Chan) how to tell the difference between elk and deer poop. We ended back at Sundance where we purchased giant cookies! A good time was had by all!

Disneyland in October

Nothing I like more than hanging out with my family!  I love these people beyond measure and I would choose them as my best friends even if we weren't related!

We missed Shannon & her bunch who went to Magic Mountain and Universal Studios and rode every roller coaster that looked dangerous.

Thanks Missy!

Here we are just minding our own business riding Winnie the Pooh in Disneyland.  Little Missy had a severe allergic reaction to some unknown substance.  By the time I got her to Disney first aid her eyes were even more swollen than this.  Disney was great- they called the paramedics who hooked her up to an IV and took her to a local hospital. Missy was arguing with me the entire way to the hospital but I listened not.

Two good things came from this!  
1. Chan and I got a great bowl of split pea soup at the Anaheim hospital cafeteria.
2. Disneyland gave our entire family an extra day in the park because of the time we missed.

8 THINGS THAT HAPPENED TODAY
I took a vacation day, watered 9 big pots of flowers (may they soon die), applied bottled tan to my legs, rubbed my itchy, allergy cursed eyes, went to Swiss Days in Midway, ate scones - white dough deep-fried drenched in berry jam- what could be better! Bought 2 necklaces and one bracelet from a vendor, bought four caramel apples, went to the Farmer's Market at Thanksgiving Point, bought Chinese umbrellas for Addi, Megan and Dallin, gave chubby Taylor a bath in the sink (talk about a sink full of love), tried to sync my IPhone calendar with my laptop calendar (technology is wasted on me).  It was a good day!

8 THINGS I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO
Going to Disneyland, going to Lake Powell, sleeping late, waking up to Dallin's "boo!", seeing my mother again, eating pancakes at Magleby's, going to work (I love my job!) date night


8 THINGS I LOVE ABOUT SUMMER
Flowers blooming, flowers freezing, feeding the fish, smelling honeysuckle, riding my bike, backyard BBQ's, wearing shorts, vacation days

8 THINGS ON MY WISH LIST
To see my mother again, a cure for asthma, a housekeeper, a gardner, a private houseboat in Lake Powell, a tune-up on my car, grace in abundance, to weigh 120 lbs. again
