Bryce Canyon and Back

A couple of weeks ago here in Utah it was UEA weekend. Which pretty much means that the kids and my mom had school and work off. So we decided to run away down South to a place called Mammoth Creek. It is about halfway between Zion's Canyon and Bryce Canyon. The weather was perfect and we had a great time.



The cabin that I wish we had rented, I mean seriously who has a gated cabin, crazy right.



Th cabin we really did rent. It was great and sat right on two different rivers, it was beautiful.







We Spent a day in Bryce Canyon, just hanging around.




And then the next day at Panguitch Lake.



So, see the big, beautiful lake? Well my husband decided that this spot made the best fishing spot, go figure.



He must have been right, here is the proof. Gross huh? I am not really a fish person but the kids had fun trying it out and it was a great getaway.

WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMING TOO??

So Mervyn's and Linen and Things have both just announced that they are closing their doors, for good. I know the banks are failing people, but I really start to sweat when the shopping starts to fail.



Although I bet there are going to be some killer sales.

Conversations with Carter

Carter: Hey Dad

Troy: Yes, Carter

Carter: uhmm you kind of look like my balloon

Troy: Thanks, Carter

Toilet Papered, REALLY???

So my lovely before mentioned soccer team, decided one day to toilet paper my house because I missed a game. If you go on my friend Jill's blog you can actually see pictures of the crime in action. Now I want to point out that this is a team of mature ladies, most of them who have children, oh the shame. But it was actually funny, and took me back a couple of years.

A BIT OF A FLASHBACK, HUMOR ME

I went out with some of my friends last week to BLISS (I mean the Cheesecake Factory) I swear I have yet to eat anything bad there. Anyway we were there celebrating our 30th birthdays (but I would like to point out that mine is not for another 10 months, the other's are just plain old).




So I decided that since we are getting so old and I have known these ladies for over 15 years it would be fun to post some pictures of us from the old days.


From Tijuana to New York City, we had fun together, these days will always be remembered fondly.



We laughed, we cried, we fought, we loved, you guys are my best friends. I would not have had it any other way.



And now with our 30th birthdays near, I look forward to 30 more with you guys.



Alright I am done with the sentimental cheese, but man sometimes I wish those days could have lasted forever.

It's Raining, It's Pouring.....

So last Saturday I assumed that my soccer game was canceled because it had been raining all morning. Just as I was getting out of the shower, I got the call, the game was still on.

So because we are a little crazy we played a game in the rain and mud. It was so much fun. I play with a group of amazing, and fun ladies and we had a great time. After the game ended we decided to get a little bit more muddy and these pictures are the aftermath of that. Sadly to admit about 98% of the mud came from after the game had ended when a mud fight became the new game. What a great group of friends I have here.

Mamma Mia

I went to see Mamma Mia with some of my friends and we had such a good time that we decided to go back to the sing-a-long version (did you all know they had one?). Well if that wasen't crazy enough we decided to dress up just for fun. Now let me remind you that we are all adults weeelll over the age of 18, but for some reason that didn't cross our minds. So we assembled our outfits, which was almost even more fun, and went to the movie. I was not quite sure how people would react, but we didn't care, we were going to have fun. Somehow, we got the whole theatre into the mood with some snazzy dancing and singing, and sparkly pants. It was a great night out, probably the most fun I have had in a while, so since I am nice I will share some of our pictures.
