The Great Saltair

There were plenty of not so beautiful things there


Only a few of the many


When you walked the bugs rippled away like water. It was actually really cool looking.








When Nick leaves on his business trips it gets lonely and I have to find thing to fill the void. Tonight I decided to go to Saltair and take some pictures of the sunset. I am a little obsessed with sunsets. I want to live on the hill on the east side just so I can watch the sunset every night. Here are some of the shots I got. I was so mad because as I was driving and about 15 mins away then the sky turned all sorts of colors and I was so tempted to go back and take more pictures but I did not. Next time. I love it there. Aside from the stench and never knowing what you are going to step in, not to mention the billions upon billions of bugs. If you can get past all that, it is so peaceful and amazing!

When Boredom Gets the Best of You

Nick gave me a sewing machine for Christmas (even though I saw it in his trunk) and I have not had a chance to really sew anything on it other than making a few alterations on my clothes here and there. So... with more free time than I would like to have lately it has forced to me to finish unfinished projects. I made these quilt blocks in high school, senior year in needle arts, Mrs. Penrod's class, great times to be had. Anyway so I decided to finish the quilt as maybe a fourth of July quilt. Something to lay down and watch the fireworks or something of that sort. Here is the finished product. Luckily you cant see up close to see my sewing job.

Greatest City in the World

Hey hey hey, it's big Nick updating the blog per Dyanna's request. Yay, yay, yay!!! Just wanting to report about our most recent excursion to the big NYC, passing thru the Philly and AC (that's short for Philadelphia and Atlantic City. We sure did have a good time out there. You bet we did. Here's the update minute by minute.

Day 1: Philadelphia: Liberty Bell. Independence Hall. Citizen's Bank Park for the Phillies and Red Sox game.

Day 2: Atlantic City: Chilled on the boardwalk, checked out the funnel cakes, and ate delicious greeeeeeesy pizza.

Day 3: Dy and I sent the entire day in NYC. We hit up all the great tourists spots...Times Square, Central Park, 5th Avenue, Rockefeller Plaza, 49 steps broadway and of course the Late Show with David Letterman. We got to see a taping of the Late Show, and Dave asked us (that's right, asked us like me and Dy) to stand up and show off our Late Show shirts. He then gave us a $100 bucks and said it was not necessary for us to buy that stuff.

Day 4: Another day in the BIG city. All of us, Shaun, Sharee the kids and us spent time at the Statue of Liberty, Ground Zero and the NEW Yankee Stadium. We watched a slow game, that got very exciting in the end but the Yankee's ended up loosing in the long run because A-Rod sucks.

Day 5: Wasted day. Don't ask. Just know it was a wasted day.

Day 6: Boys to the US Open and girls to the City to watch Mamma Mia.

Day 7: I'm totally bored of writing this so i am not going to write anymore.
Wow.... Sorry guys that may be the last time I ask Nick to update the blog. Because this is the only one he has written I will keep it and just add pictures because I know that's why you look at blogs anyway. :) Enjoy!

and another one..

I realize the majority of my posts are about Prezley (not sure if I should be embarrassed about that or not) but this was too funny not to share. Although I am sure it didn't help that I was in one of those "laugh till you cry" moods and that's exactly what I did. Here is our samurai dog.

Good Morning!

Every morning I wake up, it's to this. What a good thing to wake up to! Then I proceed to put my hand off the bed and he goes crazy and licks it all over. I love Prezley. Oh the simple things in life.

The Gardens at Thanksgiving Point

Alyssia, Samantha, Sienna and I had a nice stroll through the Gardens today. Alyssia and I took some pictures of Sienna. Couldn't have a cuter subject to photograph. Here are some of the shots I got. Sam feel free to take any of these if you want them. Sorry I don't have photoshop to spruce them up a bit.

Stuart Falls and Spring Ducklings

Cute little Sienna. She was a trooper.



A few of us went to Stuart falls tonight where we ended up reenacting Man from Snowy River and hiked through snow to get to the Waterfalls. Me thinking it was summer went prepared for a nice summer hike in shorts and a t-shirt. Not expecting what I'd find. It wasn't too bad though once we started hiking. I have to say Stuart falls is much prettier in the summer but it was still a nice little hike through the mountains....and snow. Also I went outside of our condo the other day and this hen duck had 7 little ducklings. They were the cutest little things. Sad thing is I only saw them this one day. I guess there is always next year.
