Summer is not over

this photo has nothing to do with summer. it is just boogie kitty looking out the window.

On Saturday my mom said to me "After the 24th summer is over." And you know what I said to her "SHUT UP mom!" She laughed. I don't think so. We still have August and August is still freaking hot. Summer still. Still plenty of time for camping, hiking and picnics.

Speaking of picnics. Shane and I had a date night on Friday and I packed us a picnic and we headed up Little Cottonwood Canyon and went on hike and enjoyed a wonderful view of the water. I will post some pictures later.

Last night Addy was running around with one flip flop on....because that is what she does. And she fell and hit her little nose on the sidewalk. She got a bloody nose and a scrape. Seriously that little girl gets hurt once a day. My mom is a spaz...I'm a spaz...I fear Addy got the spaz gene. Sad.

Well we are enjoying summer. And no it is NOT over! not matter what my ma says.

How do you like your hot dog??

I have only just recently discovered that I like my hot dogs like the one pictured above. They have to have it all....onions, pickle relish, mustard but no ketchup, I also really like cheese on them. I would way rather have them grilled than boiled. Since I have discovered that I love hot dogs this way I now love hot dogs! So I am curious do you like hot dogs and if so how do you like em? It seems everyone is a little different.

I know I am weird posting about hot dogs but I'm weird so whatever.

Learning to talk

I think Addy learning how to talk has been my most favorite stage so far. It is so funny and amazing all at the same time. She literally tries to repeat everything we say. She can say "Izzy" that is our big dog but she won't say any of the other dog's names. I think she thinks they're all named Izzy. And as far as the cats go she calls them all "kitty." I think my favorite is instead of saying "what's that" she says "wheesh." Awesome. Shane and I seriously walk around the house all day saying "wheesh" to each other and every time we laugh. She says tons of other things too and I swear she learns something new to say everyday. Next week I am sure she will be speaking in sentences. I cannot believe how incredibly smart she is. She blows my mind everyday!!

Being a mom is amazingly awesome. Love it more than anything else.

Arts Fest

This weekend Shane, Addy, and I went to the Utah's Art Festival. It was pretty darn wonderful. We have not been in a few years...because I hate crowds so much, but this year I put on my big girl panties and tried not to let the crowd of people bother me too much. Addy did great for the 3 hours we were there. Such a wonderful little girl I have. We bought 4 pieces of art and I am so happy about them. I seriously can't stop thinking about them. I love art...makes me smile. Now where to hang them?? Did anyone else go enjoy this wonderful event??

Good weekend....good times!

camping and happy 100th post!!

The first weekend of June Shane and I went camping with a group of friends. It was a lot of fun and the weather was perfect. Unfortunately our trip was cut short because of our sick little girl but it was still great to get out of the city even just for a short time. We went with six of our friends and we had five dogs total with us. Whoa! I love camping with dogs it's the best. We ate lots of yummy food. For some reason I eat so much when I am camping...love it. We ended up camping up Provo canyon above Sundance the spot we found was beautiful.

Some pictures.....
