The Balloon Festival!

Eric and I had so much fun. This was a really cool event and I hope to take more people with me next time, like Erica! :D I am even thinking about taking a trip down to New Mexico to see the balloon festival there because it was so fun. I was surprised at how excited I was about seeing these beautiful balloons!

Is She Stalking Me?

So I like to walk in the summer. I like to walk in the morning when everything is just starting to wake up. (Every thing except my children.) I like the way morning feels. Of course it helps that I get to walk in places that I love and that give me a sense of well being. I've been walking on the cow hill, and down to the pump in the bottom of the field. I get to hear the sound of the sprinklers, watch as they get changed from one place to the next. The neighbors doing the same thing, running their four wheelers from one place to the next. I've been watching a young family of jack rabbits check me out as I come by everyday. Then there is the birds, morning is the time they are out catching worms for their babies. Calling to each other and letting the world know they are there. Well I had a bird spoil all of this for me, as I walked on the hill I had a mother bird dive bombing me! So I think, I'll move on and walk down in the field. This seemed to solve my problem until I got back on the road, mind you I've been gone away from that bird for twenty minutes or more and she has had to come down off the hill to find me. As soon as I get on the road I see that bird on the power line chirping her stupid head off at me, I'm put out to say the least, what? Is she stalking me? As I move down the road to the safety of my home she hop to the next power line chirping and dive bombing between every power pole. I'm ducking and yelling thing like "what are you doing, I'm not even by your stupid babies", and "how do you even recognize me, I'm not the only walker out here you know!" Of course she doesn't care she just keeps after me until I'm safely in doors. It's the first time in my life I might be able to understand Natalie's fear of birds!

Do you know how to do that?

So I was reading Saddie's thoughts,(not that I can read minds or anything) Just her thoughts about making cookies.
I remember when Matt was little, but still three or four years old. We were watching a commercial with a mom and her little boy making cookies, Matt turned to me and asked "mom do you know how to do that" We were making cookies before the commercial was through playing. I couldn't believe that he had been alive that long and I hadn't made cookies with him.
So Saddie even though it may take more than a hour and several interruptions to get your cookies done. Tomas won't ever ask you if you know how to do that.
So make some cookies with your kids!

A Walk in The Garden

Spring and new life has finally come to Enterprise. I'll be the first to say I'm dying of envy when everyone down south is starting to see the new life of spring. Time has past and I am enjoying the new growth in my yard. I went to Toquerville on my birthday and had such a good time walking and sitting in Malawna's beautiful yard and then off I went to Maridee's Yard to enjoy her beautiful Lilies and fun little garden. I even got to take a spin on her new, cool, so neat, I wish I had one, bike. I was hoping to spend some time with Marvene in her garden but, to my disappointment she was off doing her favorite thing shopping! (just kidding we know how much she likes to shop) So I walked through her lovely yard by myself and I loved every minute of it. Her and Lance have been so busy and their yard is beautiful. Good job! Just wanted to take you on a walk in my garden. I find that as time moves, on flowers and plants change and move on too. I love these little johnny jump-ups, they found there own spot in the world and look how at home they have made themselves.

Thank you so much!

Well the wedding day is over and I loved every minute of it. I just wanted to thank everyone for every thing. It is so nice to have people that you can count on. Thanks for every one coming, for all the good food, for all the help, for the slide show, and for all the love that I felt from each of you. I think you would have to agree Steven and Jessica look like they love each other. Thanks for making it such a nice day for them. (and me) I love love love you all so very much.

Erica and Latara you were the best slaves I've ever had. Thank you for all the work you did for me. If I ever need slaves I know where to go.
