Catching Up

I have been seriously slacking on this blog of mine… A few friends and family of mine have started new blogs and it made me realize how much I enjoy reading blogs and also putting my together for those of you that still follow it I promise to you that are left that I will keep up on this. It will be much easier to keep up on now that the weather is getting colder and I will be spending more time inside….

here is a few pictures to show you what we have been up to this wonder Summer of 2010

Taylor is saying the Pledge of Allegiance, while the rest of us are singing The National Anthem at our first Real Soccer game. We have never been to a professional soccer game. It was so much fun and I plan on going to more next year. Thank you Webers for taking us to our first game.

Cody and I were able to go see some incredible bands this summer at Usana Amphitheater with some even better friends. Kings of Leon is an incredible band and I cannot wait to see them again. 311 was amazing as always. I cannot believe I have been going to see them in concert for 10 years now. WOW where has the time gone?!

 

 

This year was so much fun for outdoor activities. We did lots of camping and boating. Taylor loves nothing more than to be out side playing in the dirt. Camping is a perfect fit for her. She can get as dirty as she wants and run wild all day long.

the only challenge was using the bathroom in the great outdoors…Cody is such a genius!! He dug a hole in the ground stuck two rail road ties over it and sat her training potty lid right on top. She thought she was the coolest girl in the world. It was so nice to not have her peeing all over me and herself all weekend. It was just too bad he came up with this the last camping trip of the year. Better late than never though!!

We were able to take Taylor to Lagoon twice this summer. She has never been before so it was so much fun to watch her play all morning at Lagoon A Beach and float the lazy river, then run from ride to ride (sometimes two and three times) asking to ride this one “PLLLEEEEAAASSSEE”.

Pretty sure that Papa Rex had as much fun as Taylor did that day !

 

The annual Coalville Demolition Derby. For the last three years we have been going and spending the afternoon at Echo with Cody’s Grandparents and family, eating good food and catching up with everyone. We then head to the “Crash ‘em up derby” as Taylor calls it. We always have such a good time. How can you beat incredible mullet watching and cars pulverizing each other?

Last but not least…Cody’s birthday party was a Luau themed party…

what better food to have than smoked pork shoulder at a Luau party…

Well you need a smoker to make that right, so here is Cody’s birthday/finishing his Electrical Journeyman schooling. Susan, Rex and I went in on this incredible smoker/grill/oven. Better known as the Big Green Egg. He has never smoked before, but he has always wanted to learn. He loves this thing, he cooks on this thing more than I cook inside!! He has finally found something that can keep his attention during the off season (snow skiing of course).

Cody, Taylor and I have had such a great summer together. I cannot wait until next year
