Rise and Shout

 

I haven’t been to a BYU game in a million years!

We had great seats but oh myyyyyy were they ever high up at the top of about a million stairs!

Dane even got a CougarTail…

which he was pretty excited about!

Don’t worry–he shared with all of us!

It doesn’t show so much here but it was a very bright…

very sunny day and we were pretty dang excited when the sun…

finally, finally went down behind the front stadium.

Ahhhhhh–

at last we could watch the game without shading our eyes from the glare.

On top of the great football loving company–we even WON!!

Go COUGARS!!!

Power Movers

Dane and Kortney had to move from one house to another in a hurry. The weather was getting colder and they wanted to be done. The guys and girls and even kids helped move nearly everything but the garage needed some organizational help. Who better than these sweet ladies?

From what I hear, they had that place whipped into shape in a couple of hours. Moving is ALWAYS hard and disruptive–that’s a fact. But when you have some happy, sweet sisters that are always willing to turn hard work into an adventure, the time does fly by a bit better. Many hands and all that, you know?

And honestly, what more could you ask for?

I sure do love this family of mine.

Tucker & Glenn

One thing about my sweet Daney boy–is that he is now, and has always been a Patriot. I believe we all are, in this family–but Dane especially.

So, when Tucker Carlson and Glenn Beck came to town–of course we were there!

Tucker has been doing a month-long Live Tour with all sorts of amazing people.

Robert F Kennedy Jr., Dan Bongino, Charlie Kirk, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Russell Brand, Megyn Kelly and tons more. All sorts of awesome people with the same type of message– God, Family, Country.

We were the lucky ducks who got Glenn Beck right here in our neck of the woods.

If you’d like to see any or ALL of the wonderful interviews just go to Tuckercarlson.com and scroll down to the Live Tour. They are all there. Particularly loved Russell Brand and Charlie Kirk.

Summer Booths

We spent considerable time in the booths at the festivals this summer.

My boy hosted a booth for his work at most of the events in the county. It was tons of fun to go, just to be with him, so he didn’t have to sit there alone for hours on end.

We had a lot of Dippin’ Dots…a personal favorite–and tried tons of other food, most of which I was too busy eating, to even grab a picture. I know, I know….slow dowwwn…chew your foooood. I’m a work in progress.

Sometimes we had little imps visiting their daddy…

which, of course, is always delightful.

Another perk is finding the best homemade bread and salsa and jam and…candy! We found these incredible Swedish Fish without the red dye!! Dane and I bought a TON of them! Yum!

My memories of this summer will be full of the people I love…

surrounded by all the people they love.

We even have a new somebody–that we already love, and would very much like to keep.  

Hee hee!

Soldier Hollow Mud Run

For the former Bald Kid’s birthday, he wanted to do something particularly tough and manly. So he asked that every able and willing soul in our family do the Mud Run with him. It helped a ton that this event actually took place on his birthday. Slightly providential, I’d say.

All those brave folks converged on Soldier Hollow and ran through a bunch of muddy obstacles. Apparently you could get slightly muddy or terrifically muddy–depending on your particular vigor and/or love of or aversion to…ahem…mud.

Jillian and I sat this happy event out under a lovely canopy under the guise of taking care of the younger kids that couldn’t join in. Phew!

As you can see–if you wanted to stay crisp and clean–we were the lucky ones.

If you wanted to have a memorable, hilarious bonding experience–then we missed out on most of that. But we were there and were able to take the pictures that the muddy buddies couldn’t.

Happy Birthday Rhen.  If you didn’t already know–then there can be no question– you are SO loved.
