Photo Booth Funnies!


Yes, this picture is exactly what you think it is! Taken at a classic Kmart photo booth that has been there at least since the 70's (way before I was ever born). I know it kinda looks wierd but I couldn't get the camara to focus on the whole thing, it was way too blurry. The photo booth was an original, all decked out with the creepy blue velvet curtain for a door and probably billions of germs from pimple clad teenagers making out in it for 3 decades! It was awesome! So this week has been great, I have been off work for 4 days which is rare (hopefully they didn't fire me and not tell me) and I have just been enjoying my time with the kids. It has been raining ALOT though which has kinda been a bummer but we have managed to get a few fun things in anyway. School is out on Friday and Greyson couldn't be more thrilled, the rest of this week is basically just goofing off so of course he is loving it. Our little baby horse is doing well, he is really coming out of his shell and he is a fisty little thing, he has learned to run and nibble on clothes or fingers or whatever he feels like nibbling on at the time, oh and he really loves eating his mom's poop too, right before he naps in it. The kids have named him Cowboy and he is SO cute! The really really big news of the week is........ I'm getting new teeth! If you know me then you know that I have HORRIBLE teeth and I have had quite a few major problems lately. I am getting all new veneers and having my molars pulled and fixed bridges implanted there. No more root canals, beautiful white teeth, what more could a girl ask for! Nothing! This is the most awesome thing that has ever happened to me and I can't wait to see the results! Watch my blog for before and after pics and more details on how this amazing thing happened to me. The party starts on June 4th. Can't wait! Have a great week! :)

Oh Baby!


So most of you know that I have recently adopted a large group of horses up here in Eden and I want to take a minute to blog about them because I LOVE THEM!! They are the most amazing funny animals and I am SO lucky that I get to live up here and be around them and in this enviroment. Wednesday night, Greyson had his 1st grade opera at the school (which went very well by the way) and on our way back we stopped to visit the horses and OMG! the mama horse who was expecting a baby within the next couple of weeks had the baby! Right then and there! It was so amazing to see and he is SOOOO cute! Within 15 minutes his long (and I mean seriously long) spiderish legs were up and wobbling around and he was swishing his cute little tail around like a total MIRACLE had not just occured! Incredible! If you don't love animals as much as I do then you probably cannot understand my excitment but it was just amazing! I have given birth twice before and I don't remember being this excited about it, no offense to Grey & Andee but it's always cooler when it's someone other than yourself! I do love animals though and I am so lucky to do what I do, it is rewarding in so many ways! Hopefully everyone is well, school is approaching it's end and summer is creeping right up. Traffic has definitly increased up here in the valley now that it's warm and the lake is thawed, boaters, fishermen and even skiiers are out in full swing. The kids are doing very well and are loving being outdoors as much as possible. Enjoy your week and if you get a wild hair to come up and visit I will take you to see the new baby, you are sure to fall in love! Heidi

Snack time, which includes carrots, apples or sugar cubes has on many occasions resulted in fights, biting ears, shoving siblings off the hill and down right temper tantrums!

Cortney Woolsey, Miss High School Rodeo Utah

Cortney Woolsey, Miss High School Rodeo Utah
Cortney is in the family and she just won Miss High School Rodeo Utah and is now going on to compete in Nationals in New Mexico I think. Very expensive trip for her family so they had a benefit on Saturday to try and raise funds for her. Andee thought she was for sure a princess. Good Luck Cortney we will all be rooting for you!

Brett Earl Benefit

Brett Earl Benefit
Last month on the eve of Easter, Greyson's friend and classmate Taj lost his dad to a very sudden unexpected heart attack. Brett was 38 years old and left his wife and 4 children with no life insurance. It was very sad but the entire community came together to help raise funds for the family. A benefit was held at Powder Mountain with a silent auction, BBQ, bake sale and numerous other activities with 100% of the proceeds going to the Earls. My generous boss, Dr. Engleby donated funds for me to make some crafts to auction off and it went VERY well! Everything was sold and $10,000+ was raised for the family.

Sage in da' hood!

Sage in da' hood!
Poor Sage had all of his hair shaved off this week for summer and if you live around here then you know that summer is definitley not here! After a week of downpours and snow storms poor Sagers is freezing! So he's had to wear a jacket out and I think you can tell from the look on his face, he's humiliated! :)

Vegas has a new bed!

Vegas has a new bed!
This is the new bed of choice for Vegas, much to my protest she loves sleeping here! What's the big deal you ask? 14 feet up high. However if you have owned a cat then you know they do not care what you think and the more you try to persuade them not to behave this way, the more they do. Whatever Vegas!
