Bad Day

Am I the only one who feels like sometimes I am absolutly surrounded by Selfish Idiots? Or maybe I am the idiot for putting myself in the middle of all of them. (readers of my blog are excluded from my Idiots list, just so you know.) I've been on the phone all afternoon trying to fill slots for my PTA board next year...and then...oh never mind...I'll just write something I regret...I'm just going to leave it at this...one more time...I am surrounded by Selfish idiots! They are everywhere, in every aspect of my life. But I am grateful for some of my real friends who throw me a rope sometimes, when I really need one. And I quit Target. That one extra commitment almost pushed me over the edge. Jeff decided that he would rather have a sane wife then an extra $400 a month. I'll go back to teaching part time when Derek is in first grade. We will just financially limp along until then. We'll make it. I'm having kind of a bad day, can you tell?

Our Secret Garden

Sego Lily Gardens / Water Wise Landscapes



A few people have asked about Sego Lily Gardens...I guess it's not our little secret anymore. It really is a nice place...perfect for family photograhs. And best of all, it's free! Check it out this spring...but don't tell too many people. The best thing about it is that not many people know it's there:)

"...Sego Lily Gardens first opened in August of 1999. The Garden is one of the first demonstration gardens along the Wasatch Front to emphasize low-water use plants and landscaping. Sego Lily Gardens is located at 1472 East Sego Lily Drive (10200 South). It is open from Spring through Fall. For more information about Sego Lily Gardens, or if interested in volunteering, please call 568-6087, or visit the web page at http://sandy.utah.gov/government/public-utilities/water-conservation/sego-lily-gardens-water-wise-landscapes.html"

Cousins Are Fun!!!

Garrett and Preston got here on Thursday night. We have been having a lot of fun here ever since. Saturday we went to Sego Lily gardens...it's a little public garden that no one knows about. It was fun. Preston had one of his first experiences with a port-a-potty. I don't think he liked it too much.
Derek usually hates to take baths. It is a lot more fun if you have some squirt guns and friends to get into the tub with you.

"Two little monkeys jumping on the bed..."Dinosaur Museum at Thanksgiving Point...The Tunnel of Time was a little scary, but the rest of the museum was Awesome! The Erosion Table was the best...Sand and Water make great toys!


Swimming was one of everyones favorite activities.
And it really wears little boys out!

You Go Girls!!!

So my sister Shelli and her daughter Amber decided to only do half a marathon this year..."only"...right. (Pause "my playlist" before you watch)

Cousin Vacation!!!

Garrett and Preston are going to be staying with us this next week while their Mom and Dad (Jeff's brother Scott, and Shannon) are away on a little anniversary trip. Derek and Preston are already best friends, and Derek is so happy that we have another willing Power Ranger around to do flips and tricks with. Garrett is 5 and he thinks Clint is the greatest, and since Clint loves to be adored, he hasn't seemed to mind too much that he has a new little shadow following him around everywhere. The boys are great. It will be a fun week! We are hopeing for lots of sunshine, and lots of time outside!
