Sketch Challenge

So here is my Sketch Challenge, Okay, I want you all to know this pose was not a set-up. This was just her natural personality coming out. She struck this pose all by herself!! Talk about diva! (Alicia, I think we're both in trouble!) So Jen, Do I get extra points for doing this challenge first? Thanks for the challenge Jen!!

wE loVe SuMmeR!!!

Well, for old times sake, and I guess new adventures for my kids, Holli, Lisa and I took my kids up Provo Canyon today. We stopped at Canyon Glen, Vivian Park and South Fork Park. It was a little breezy, but the kids loved it. Canyon Glen was "the place" to hang out and barbeque back in the day, but I hadn't been there in years. There are now some strange rock sculptures there, however, they don't compare to the "naked chinese boy's" sculptures you can find on Kellie's blog (There is a link if interested,) but the kids liked climbing on them.





Up at South Fork Park, Aerica was, you guessed it, up the tree. She scaled this tree in like 3 seconds. She has some freakish tree climbing talent.


Great Grandma Drury





This post is for my Grandma, Louise. She is 88 years old, and is amazing. She never forgets any birthdays, wether they are for her kids, grandkids, or great-grandkids. She was here last weekend and Jessie asked her to come play the piano for her. So we went in the living room and "Grandma Great" (as she is called by her great-grandkids) entertained us with her singing and musical talent. My kids adore her and I am so glad they have been able to be blessed by this great lady. Love you Grandma

Okay Jen, here it goes. I was sure I couldn't find 20 things I'd never do besides the obvious suggestions (by Jen) like... eat dog poop, duh! I mean they have to be 20 things other people might do right? Or what would be the point, so here are 20 things "I" would NEVER do.
