Another Great Game

Curly is the Center for the JV. He does an amazing job and I am so proud of him!!







Happy Birthday, Sweetie!!

It was my sweetie's birthday today. We started the day with a "peach run" to Orem and a quick stop at my SIL's house. It is sad to see what the recent hailstorm did to the peaches.

After that, I had a doctor's appointment and when it was over, I stopped by Warrens and got my sweetie a chocolate marshmallow shake.

At 4:30, we finally took a lunch break and we drove to Cafe Rio. I had a free entree, so we got a sweet pork burrito to share.

I went with Scout to present her app to another Young Women's group and not long after we got home, Baby Doll came in with a cake she had decorated at Young Women's. She put in one candle and Kate lit it up so we could sing.

Then we drove out to Texas Roadhouse for a late dinner. Dog Walker managed his break so he could join us. It was so much fun!!





My sweetie refused to sit on the saddle or have them sing, but he did take the ice cream sundae they offered.

Happy birthday, Sweetie!

And many more.❤

Another Eagle Project

Burrito wants to be an Eagle and that means another quilting project. Yesterday I put together 2 tops. This one is my favorite.


He needs to have 10 quilts by the time he is finished, and he has to piece 2 of them, so we have a long way to go!

Guest Blog: Last Day of Summer S'mores by the Dog Walker

 I know it's barely recent that I have guest blogged for Mom, but she asked me to write about a little get together that she and Dad couldn't get to. Bossy invited us for a little get together for last day of summer s'mores.  Baby Doll and I were the first ones there, because we saw that it was at 7:30 on the invitation and we weren't informed that it had been moved to 8:30. So we hung around anyway and waited for Sport and Curly to come from Disc Golfing. The evening air really was starting to cool a bit, as a sign of showing that we are getting close to autumn again. Having s'mores was quite a treat. We can hardly wait to have some more autumn leaves.







Elders Quorum Breakfast

Even though we stayed up late last night, we had to get up early this morning so we could help with the Elders Quorum Breakfast at the pavillion.





It was my job to serve the fruit and the Dog Walker was my assistant part of the time and my sweetie helped the rest of the time. When he wasn't shooting off rockets for the kids.




We had a lot of fun and some great visiting.

Guest Blogger: Upcoming Fourth Book by the Dog Walker

 Now it really has been a while since Mom asked me to guest blog for her. I wasn't quite sure what to say here, but then I remember that ever since I got the second Samy Kind book written and published for Valentine's Day, it got me thinking of writing another book that I want to give to the family for Christmas. I'm quite excited to present this one to you, but I would have to wait until Mom does the editing before it can be up for sale on Amazon and Kindle. This is the front cover of my fourth Samy Kind book for the series.

Cowabunga Bay

Yesterday, Baby Doll and I and one of her friends used our last cookie reward for several hours at Cowabunga Bay.


It was a beautiful day to be outside, just a bit windy. The girls did the slides while I walked the lazy river. We ate our free lunch and enjoyed free ice cream. We didn't even get sunburned!


Thanks, Girl Scouts!!
