Big Mountain Jam-South Jordan, Utah 2013

Now this was a fun tournament for me to watch and for Logan to play in. The games started on Thursday.

When we entered the South Towne Expo Center we knew we were in for a lot of noise, games and fun.

 First of all this was the first tournament I have ever been to that charged to get in. (They only took cash and I had to go and find a cash machine.) Not to mention it cost to have him play in tournament which I had already paid for at the school. This proved to be an expensive tournament.

 A day rate or a 3 day pass??? I chose the 3 day pass as I figured I would get my money's worth. I paid for and got a bracelet that I wore for 3 days. It was worth it. 3 games a day and good games to watch.

Some of Logan's friends and team mates.  Look behind him at the vastness of this place. 

Since he played on 2 teams he received medals for both teams.

One team won first and the other won second. 

Womens Conference 2013

All of us together for the Thursday session of Women's' conference at BYU. 

 Faith from here, Shannon from Kansas and my Mom from Washington.

This is where we shared a delicious lunch, laughing and visiting.  So nice to be together.

Shannon's poor feet.  She thought the shoes would be OK.  She wears them all day while she works but it is a different kind of walking here.....constant!

Brunch at my house on Saturday morning. 

We made Shannon's 90 minute bread at Faiths house.

We all piled in the Bug to run to Walmart while the bread was baking.  Both pictures are cute I just could not decide which one shows Mom and Shannon the best.

Smokin'

We love our smoker.  We have smoked pulled pork, brisket and ribs.  We have figured how long to cook it, how to keep the heat on even during the night, what rub to use and how delicious it is.

Lehi Horse Parade 5 years running!

It was as hot as it always is.

It was as fun as it always is.

It was over too fast.

I love a tradition!

Why I love my Neighborhood!!!!!

Someone in my neighborhood works at Camp Williams and is being deployed to Afghanistan. The morning he was to leave this is what he saw as he was leaving. Flags lining the street and a sign on his garage and in front of his house. Very touching!

My Flowers Full Circle

In the fall I gathered the seeds, laid them out in paper box lids and let them dry all winter.

 In the spring I harvested the seeds.

My mom came to show me what to do.

Remember she came last year to show me how to plant the seeds she gave me. 

 Now I have done all the steps with her help and am prepared to do it myself!

Freshly planted now waiting for the sun to warm them and a little moisture to pop their heads and sprout.

Another view of what's to come.

This year I also added some plants and a tree plus that little fence to block the concrete of the porch.

Now, look at them growing

A beautiful summer day, my favorite season for sure.

A close up view of the growing flowers, stay tuned for the flowers when they blossom.
