I love my sweetie

What a sweet little message left for me by my hubby the other morning made out of fruity pebbles. He is such a keeper.

Boating 2010

I sure wish we had a boat.......We DO have an awesome friend who let us borrow his for a day. We took it to Utah Lake for a day of FUN in the SUN. I was scared to death on this tube. I am not much of a risk taker. Rocky was scared too. See how he clung to me.
I got a lesson in driving a boat too, how else would Robbie get a turn to ride.

I was laughing hysterically when he rode with Sawyer. If you have ever seen the spongebob movie with David Hasselhoff you would have been too. Sawyer looked just like Spongebob clinging to his back! LOL

We did some swimming (when I say "we" I mean Robbie and the kids). I stayed in the boat.

Rocky didn't like it all that well.

These are my favorite shots, with the wind in our hair. Canyon's is the BEST! LOL

It was a GREAT day. LOVED it!

When I seen this scrap pile of wood I had a vision...........of a headboard.So in this windy, 90 degree weather, I moved......

measured......
cut and created a rustic headboard for Canyons room.

Oooooh, rusty nails. SCORE! Everything looks better with a little rust if you ask me.

I built this baby the old fashioned way. It's not completely finished so I will have a reveal when the room is finished.

Life is a big canvas, throw all the paint on it you can.

I've been busy lately. I bought one gallon of paint (I should have known better) and that has led to two, three, and four. But soon I will have some projects to share with you.

and.....

My love/hate relationship with the chickens is at a hate right now. We have three roosters and two hens and I would really just like one of each so if you'd like any...they are FREE.

This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave.

We had a GREAT 4th of July celebration this year. The weather was perfect-not too hot, my kids were a little older-no temper tantrums, and my hubby gets Monday off since the holiday landed on a weekend. I got this picture in front of Grandma A's house before the parade. We were missing Brittany and Hunter darn it! They all looked so cute in their patriotic outfits.

It was Anderson tradition to watch the parade from the Drug Store and we hadn't done that since Canyon was born so we decided to do that this year. It was lots of fun. They were all ready with their baggies to gather all their candy.

My nephew Tiger is visiting this summer from Dallas, Texas. There's nothing like a small town parade.

Sawyer's alter ego, Spiderman, came through. I think he thought the parade was for him, like in the movie. Here he is spraying his webs at the camera.

Good thing Daddy is strong and can toss him in the air. He LOVES it!

Rocky left with what he came for....a whole lotta CANDY! ....in a prescription bag! LOL

We almost didn't go to the park but I am so glad we did. It wasn't horribly crowded and the boys loved all the bouncy slides. I didn't take ANY pics. Some moments just aren't as gratifying through the lens of a camera.

All the grandsons.....6 of which live with me or next door. I cannot imagine what it will be like in another 5 years! All I know is there WILL be trouble.

Memorial Day

And I'm proud to be an AMERICAN,

where at least I know I'm free.

And I won't forget the men who died,

who gave that right to me.

I'm in Heaven

Here is my sad, tiny, old, little fridge. I've begged Robbie for years to get a new one but this one was funtioning so the answer was "no". I'm afraid I would be using this fridge for years to come and with growing boys to feed I NEEDED an upgrade sooooooo...........

I surprised my sweet husband with THIS!!! I wouldn't recommend making big purchases like this without husband approval in most cases but THIS was a NECESSITY!

I hear ANGELS singing when I open the doors.

This was the selling feature right here.

My life is almost complete. My kids are healthy, I have my new fridge, now all I need is a Sgt. Steam.
