Because Life is Insane I Wanted to Share Something Simple....

Beauty Tips
by Audry Hepburn

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.

For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.

For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.

For beautiful hair, let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day.

For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone.

Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms.

As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, and the other for helping others.

The Beginnings of Our Summer Trip to Canada...

We had the chance thanks to my fabulous grandpa to go to Canada for about one week. We left on Saturday August 1st and drove to Missoula, MT. The girls did great for the most part with all of our driving. There only request was movies and food and food and more food.




Our hotel in Montana had waterslides. So of course we had to get in as much pool time as possible!!

I think we did out job wearing them out.


Pinto asked why we rode in the library (elevator). Huh?

In total we drove for a little over 16 hours in two days. It was not too bad!!!

The 24th...

For all who do not live here, the 24th of July is a holiday!!! WOOHOOO!!!!! We went camping with my family up Big Cottonwood Canyon. We had a great time. We rode the tram up to the top of Solitude and hiked to Solitude Lake.






What kid doesn't LOVE a gooey marshmallow?



You can't go camping and not get dirty either!!! It just wouldn't be as fun.

On Saturday after the 24th my parents neighborhood has a big show of fireworks!! It was good times.





This last one is so cool. They lined up several adults down the street and they all held Roman Candles.


I look forward to more festivities next year!!

July in Picture Form with a few words...

July was one busy month for us. With two holidays and camping in there we have been coming and going quite a bit!!! We also had the chance to meet up with a long lost friend who was in town visiting. LOVE YOU CARRIE!!!





For the fourth we went to a parade in upper Sandy and then the usual Sandy parade and fireworks. We had a good time!!! We also wer do sitting at the same time. This will be the only chance my kids will have of having a dog. Sorry people out there, I am not a fan of poop in my yard!! (but this puppy was a cutey!)

This girl makes a friend EVERYWHERE she goes!!!
