Road Trip To Beaver, Utah

Miss Chomp needed more road hours in order to past her driving class…

so, what better way than to take a 2-1/2 hour road trip to a couple of favorite spots in Beaver, Utah?!!

Being the “foodie” girl that Lyndi is, she knew exactly where we needed to go!

Even out in the middle of nowhere, it’s still beautiful country.

Ahhhhh–our destination is in sight!!

Ok, well, the billboard for our destination is in sight. It’s something at least!

Yummy food–here we come!!

Luckily, there was no one in front of us because we were hungry!

Sweet Lyndi…

got cheese curds and sauce. Ooooh.

 

Magoo and Lyndi both got Tetris Fries…

which even fit together. It was such a challenge. haha.

I ordered a lovely little cheeseburger with extra pickles and they really humored me. Look at that pile of pickles!!

Yeah, we totally waddled out of that place full to the brim and happy as a pile of clams. Oh, but don’t you worry Crazy Cow–we’ll be back soon.

YUM!

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.

Aang

If you’ve been around here for a little while, you probably already know that we love, love, LOVE the series Avatar–The Last Airbender. Heck, my boy–back when he was known as “The Bald Kid” even dressed up like the main character, Aang, for Halloween!

I’ve also crocheted another character–Sokka,  from the show for Chompy a few years ago. Our history with this stuff goes waaaay back. So, when Lyndi asked for a crocheted Aang for her birthday—that was an EASY yes from me.

I mean…..those EARS!! Aren’t they just adorable?!!

And his sweet little arrows…well, he just stole my heart.

It’s quite likely I’ll have to find a reason to make the whole set. Can’t be helped.

Sooooo, what do people who don’t crochet, do all day?

I can’t even imagine.

Happy Birthday Lyndi!!

Crocheted Nativity 2.0

No, noooo. I’m not reposting my sweet little crocheted Nativity set. And noooo you aren’t seeing double.  My daughter Lyndi wanted her very own version so naturally, I made another set!!

This time, Mary’s hair is more blonde and Joseph has a goatee and no mustache. He’s a more modern fellow. Haha.

 

But since Mary and Joseph’s wardrobe that night is a history mystery–I have complete freedom to use my artistic license. Last time it was pink and brown but THIS time, since Lyndi realllllly loves blue, then blue it is.

So there.

Of course, baby Jesus is the same…because, you know– some things should probably stay the same, “yesterday, today and forever,” if you get my meaning. Not tempting fate here.

And so it is.

Sweet Candy Girl

Skittles were a brand new candy the year my second baby was born. I ate a ton of them. In fact, I thought they were some kind of fruit group–citrus and berry or something. So when my little Lyndi was born I wasn’t a bit surprised to find that she came with her own fireworks…so to speak. Sugar induced, no doubt…and completely my own doing.

Giggling uncontrollably in the Mother’s Day program and cutting her own bangs the day before family pictures–we never knew what to expect from this one. She’d find any possible excuse for a party, be it Groundhog’s Day or Harry Potter’s Birthday–we simply had to celebrate. Still do, come to think of it.

Happy Birthday this week my sweet Lyndi!!

I’ll bring the Skittles.
