Visit to Utah

I know it has been forever since I updated my blog. I have the usual excuse of being busy and I have just put it off. My mom finally said when are you going to update your blog - I keep checking and there is never anything new on it. Well that kind of lit my fire and so here goes. The summer was a busy one and so instead of trying to catch up on everything I thought I would write a little about my trip to Utah in Sept.

I was lucky enough to be able to go home to Utah for a couple of weeks in Sept and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. As usual my mom and I had a list of projects to do. So I was busy painting for her, riding my horse with Carolee and visiting with friends!

We painted Jade's room - hung window molding and pretty much gave his room a facelift. I wish I had pics but it turned out pretty cute. As with everytime I visit there just doesn't seem to be enough time to get everything done!

I also got my mare Barbie Doll in. She has been turned out for about 3 years and I keep craving to run some barrels in Texas so I decided to try her. I just want to thank Carolee for all of her help with Barb. We rode together everyday we could and Barb was working great when I left. I sent her back to Texas and I am excited to start running barrels again.

I also was able to go to dinner one night with Laurel, Steph and Saundra. Steph is having twins and so we had to get a pic together. I think she looks great in this pic because she was due at any time. Needless to say she has now had her twins - Teague and Taya! Congrats to Steph and Coby - I am so excited for you guys to start your family.

Of course I have to post a pic of my favorite niece. She loves to wear everyone's shoes around and so here she is in my moms Sunday shoes. Check out those blue eyes!!! She has her Grandpa's eyes!

For all of you that I was able to see - it was great to catch up and those of you I missed - hopefully I will see you next time because you know me I can only take Texas for a couple of months before I am ready to head back to Utah for a few days and catch up with my family and friends and breath that sweet mountain air!!!

Before I end this I have to tell you that the trip back to Texas was horrible!!! We took off from SLC on time but since there has been monsoon weather in Texas they closed DFW and we had to land at Wichita Falls and hang out there for about 5 hours until they reopened DFW! It was a long ride home! For the first week of being back to Texas it did nothing but rain - if you can believe this we measured over 12 1/2 inches of rain in one week!! Now that is crazy! Everything is so green now because either the grass is green or the mold is green hard to tell the difference sometimes! LOL

I will try to be a little better on blogging so stay tuned and I will post more in a few days!!
