Mini Cheerleader


Sammie got to perform at halftime at the Woods Cross High School football game. She took a mini-cheer class and learned some cheers and a dance. She had a lot of fun. Felicity had a blast watching Sammie and trying to do the cheers with her. Go WildCats!!!

Happy Anniversary


J.W. and I have been married 14 years!!!! I really can't believe it. It seems like yesterday (I know...so cliche). J.W. - thanks so much for marrying me. It has been a fantastic 14 years and I know the next 14 will be just as great. I love you with all my heart.

Reading

Since I have had a couple weeks of work I have gotten back into reading. Two books were totally a bomb! One of them was Housekeeping. I picked it up at the library from the Staff Recommends display and the other one was The Waiting Time. What a bunch of depressing books! I decided I am not going to waste my time taking chances on books and only read highly recommend eds.
I know some of you are just going to die when you read this but guess what? I read Twilight. Yep! If you don't know I have a huge ridiculously insane paranoia of The V's. I can't even say their name without my heart hiding in my stomach. I have heard this book series was really great and wanted to read it but somehow I just couldn't bring myself to do it. I reserved the book at the Library a couple times but chickened out and didn't actually check it out when it came in. I was hoping to use this as some kind of therapy to get over this. Well, once the book was in my hands I didn't have a problem reading it. I had nightmares the first night and I will not read the book at night but the V's in this book are so different than the ones that terrify my dreams that it really seems like two separate things. Book two - New Moon - I balled my eyes out! Seriously, I couldn't stop crying for like three hours! Good books. I am looking forward to finishing the series.
Which brings me to Good Reads. Hey everyone who reads this PLEASE Please Please (I'm still waiting DAD) sign up at www.goodreads.com. It's a really cool online book club.

Summer is Over!





Well, I offically have to say goodbye to Summer 2008!! I have to say it was a really great one! Here are some of the highlights of our summer.

  • Camping at Bountiful Peak
  • Raging Waters - For my Birthday Celebration
  • Exploring SLC - Gygel gardens, Cathedral of the Madeline, and something else I can't remember
  • Reunion at Zion National Park & visiting St. George
  • Camping up American Fork Canyon and not sleeping one single wink because I was terrified Bears were going to thrash through our tent and eat my girls.
  • Seeing the huge landslide caused by the rain when trying to return from American Fork Canyon
  • 3 Week Break from work!
  • ATV ride with J.W. and Felicity up Farmington Canyon and discovering this super cool lake I was dying to go swimming in! (I have got to post a picture)

I am really torn about Sammie being back in school. I know it keeps her busy and is good for her but I sure miss her! But I know Felicity misses her even more than I do.

I don't know how next summer will stack up - I don't think we'll make it camping but just mayber, we can take a super great vacation to Hawaii or something. We'll see!
