A difference of opinion!





So, here I am in my sweet birthday running glasses that have an MP3 player built into them! and...I just returned home from a nice morning run on the trail above my house...and Louie actually RAN ahead of me today because he saw horses he had to catch up to. AND.....I came home to my husband chopping my petunias!

We MOST DEFINATELY have a difference of opinion about this.

You see, wave petunias are KNOWN for their TRAILING habit and they were carelessly trailing beyond the boundaries of their *space* which I think is BEAUTIFUL!!! BUT my DH thinks they are completely out of control and so he takes the weed wacker to them! I called him a petunia murderer......and we both went on our merry way. Of course, for me that meant downloading these pictures and updating my blog that has fallen behind....and for Mark.....finishing the yard and undoubtedly killing more plants elsewhere! Oh...and now, I'm off for a quick swim and last minute errands and packing because we are going to HAITI TOMORROW........YEAH!

Some good ol' fashion fun!





How about that pie eating contest!!! And a little tug-of-war contest at the QuicKutz summer picnic!

House....



House....Yard....digging as deep as they can for a sample of the earth below us. 38 feet down they went.....hmmmm.....someday this mess will end...




Mark went to the Salt Flats for the first time with a couple of work buddies. I think he had a great time...HOT HOT HOT....and he met an interesting, Volvo loving man from Sweden. He told Mark he had never seen a volvo at the Salt Flats! Next time you see Mark have him do his impression of this man. Funny! Apparently this man comes to Utah every year for the races!

Some more catching up...



Steven turned 18!!! We went to see the new Bourne movie and went to Outback restaurant for dinner! And he is styling now in some new sunglasses and ready for snowboarding with a new pair of boots!!!
Happy Birthday Steven.....

Catching up some more...


Michael went right to Scout Camp the day after we got home from California! I think he had fun....and I think the camp survived too.

Catching up...



Leaving California and family...boo hoo

We sure had a fun time with everyone!
