{Not really sure what happend?!?}
Just a warning for the next post you are about to read.
There is major face wrinkleage, and huge boobage in the pics of the old lady.
Unexplainable phenomenon in the mountains of Utah.
Pictures taken in Utah make girls look older and fatter.
ONLY look at pics on next post at your own risk!
I am not liable for blinding or headaches in others!
{PROST!!!!!!!! Cheers in German}
Randy and I had a morning to ourselves.
Randy's mom took the boys to church and then to a park luncheon.
We went to breakfast, then started the......
"What do you want to do?
I don't know. What do you want to do?"
Oh, I hate that shit!
Just as I was about to give that opinion to Randy...........
I see it!!!  I see the billboard!!!!
The one that says Oktoberfest at Snowbird is officially open!!!!!
Be still my heart...........
WE LOVE OKTOBERFEST!!!!!!
Oh mhy gahhhh, Oh mhy gahhhh!
Flip this car around babe!
We heart Oktoberfest for many reasons......
the most obvious is the
BEER
Another reason, is that it isn't even in October!!!!
Which makes the weather and scenery puuuuurrrrrrfect!

And of course.............
The food!!!!!!
Since we already had brunch, we decided that dessert would be a good thing.
We are trying to fullfill our goal of attending EVERY weekend until closing.  I'm sure there will be multiple posts regarding Oktoberfest.  (I just love to say and type the word)
Please join us friends!  And don't forget to bring your mug!
{Dude! You just gotta jump!}
We decided to take the boys back to Timpanogos Cave up American Fork canyon.
We haven't been to the cave since the boys were 4 & 5 years old.   We were excited to take them now, at an age that they would respect the caves, and walk it ALL on their own!
As we approach the fee shack, we see a BIG sign saying, "All Timp Cave tours SOLD OUT!"
I was so bummed that I didn't get to walk 2 miles uphill in 97 degrees with crowds of out-a-towners!
Plan B: Drive through the beautiful canyon to Tibblefork Lake........
 
Where the boys immediately ran to the water, and eventually took their shoes and socks off, and got their feet wet with the snow runoff.......cccaaaaahhhhooolllllddddd!!!!!
This is also just a mile away where Randy purposed to me over 20 years ago!
Zip noticed Camp Williams coming up as we were on our way home.
He begged for us to stop so that they could run all over and pretend to drive the vehicles.

Everyone was having a great time.......that is until................






My kids' noggin was used as a pin cushion!!!
Poor Riv had a shoot out with the Wasp family!!!!!
They attatcked his head!  And I mean, swarms.....I couldn't even count how many.
He was screaming from 14 feet on top of a tank.
All I could do to help is yell,
"DUDE! YOU JUST GOTTA JUMP!!!!!"
And he did........
Only a few stings........could have been a lot worse :(

{Not ashamed to be a teddy lover}
Aunt Tracy bought these tat sleeves from Target for $1.
Zip found them on the counter and they were his after that!
Wore them ALL day.
A lot of people commented  on how cool his tats were and he played it off like they were real!
He has so much self confidence.
So you would think a BOY that struts around,
posing to show off muscles,
wears tats with pride.......
wouldn't be obsessed with................
Yep.....He really is!
This is his newest bear "Jay"
Grampa took him to the mall yesterday and they stuffed birth into the fuzzy thing.
I'm glad he is still my little boy!
P.S.  Zip is mad that I didn't name him Jay!....sometimes he even goes by Jay on playgrounds!?!?!
{Randy's brag blog}
Randy wanted to make sure that you see proof, that he REALLY can catch fish!
Last weekend he went with some buddies from work to Wyoming.
One of the guys' family owns a 3300 acre ranch called "Guild Ranch" near Fort Bridger.
This pic is of the smallest fish out of about 12 caught that day....he kept this one for eating.
A phrase he has taught the boys and I think was handed down from his dad,
"A bad day of fishin' is better than a good day at work!"
Amen Brothah!

{We all just wanna be a big rockstar, living in top houses, driving 15 cars......ahhhh}
4 wicked bands.....$35!!!!
Wednesday night
Usana Amphitheater
Tracy and I met up....AND
We are rocker twins!!!
Not a pre-planned fashion decision either!
THEN.......
We met up with Paula.....guess what???
She was rocking the same outfit!!!
Girls that Rock together.......um,
wear black together?
This might be the only proof we have that JayD drank a beer!
He is a Crown Royal man.....
A beer in his hand is as rare as a whore in church!
The stage was awesome!!!!!
Tons of fiyah, sparks, and booms.
PYRO heaven!!!!
They also shot things from the stage with those fat guns.....knocked a few people into next year when concert ammo hit their heads!
Don't really know what this is about, but I think it's a funny pic.
The sad thing is, that you will have to miss out on the fabulous video I produced of Tracy and Paula.....a sneak appearance of a complete stranger dancing behind Tracy and purposely being in the camera, was just one of the funny snippits.  Hinder was singing 'Lips of an angel' in the background!  It is so good!
Due to the new and improved blogger software, we will have to use imagination for that one. But look! WoW! I can use strikethrough!  Thanks Blogger company!  You have really made my blogging experience stress free with that added feature!  JACKASSES!
NO MOVIES OR SPELL CHECK FOR YOU!!!!
This is Shane.
He is one of Randy's LONG TIME buddies.
Randy hasn't seen him in many years.......
I see him a few times a month!!!!
It's the wierdest thing how we run into each other!
Us girls were elbowing our way through the sweaty pit crowd  for a close view of the stage...
I felt this jerk off pushing me and saying how sick he is of people crowding his space.....
Just as I was about to flip him right between the eyes, I realize that it's Shane!
He knew it was me, and was giving me crap to see how I would react.
I still punched him a good one, and called him an a**hole!!!!
Quatro band re-cap:
~Chick loudly in the open asks if I have a joint!
(seriously, I don't do drugs)
~Drunk girl spills beer on my leg and foot while telling me how much she wants to f*#$ all members of Hinder.
~I walked into bathrooms that were entirely flooded....flooded with all different kinds of fluids....remnants soaked the heels of my pants!  ew yuk!
~Fanny pack.......inside joke, but you know who you are!
~All the bands sounded as good as their recordings! Except when lead singer of Nickleback drinks too much Patron, and wants to talk nasty and thinks his jokes are hilarious.....We were out of the drunk loop....they weren't funny
~Aunt Tracy yelling, "No more talkin', we want rockin"!!
Oh, another great concert down......1000's more to go!

{You get what you pay for!!! And I'm a cheap ass!}
Well, where do I start???
Last year I made picture albums online through WalFart.
Got them back and Randy's head is cut off of about 3 pics, and some of the others were distorted and made us look long faced.
I bitched about it then!!!!
So yesterday, I must have needed drama and a fire to fuel my PMS.......Cuz you know, I just don't have any of that in my normal day to day life...right?
I spent hours scanning in old pics so that I could make a hard copy on a disk.  I also wanted a few reprinted, so I sent them off to WalDork's one hour photo.
Excitedly at 11 am this morning, I was at the counter asking for my photos......
To which I was told by the 17 year old photo Nazi, "NO."
She needed a copyright signature from the studio that took the pictures....now mind you, most of these are 20+ years old!!!
"How in the hell do you expect me to get a signature from a place that is out of business???" I ask.
"I don't know mam, it's the law.  There is nothing I can do." (she was really pushing it now! mam? does she know the fragile person she is dealing with?)
"OK FINE!!!!  But this is so rediculous!!!!! Are you sure you can't just slip them in with the others?" I ask, turning my bitch voice into a nice soft helpless mam.
"Nope sorry."
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These pictures have MY face. Doesn't that legally make them MINE??!!??
After walking away from what could have been a bloody scene if I wouldn't have controlled my outburst, I start looking at the photos I was ALLOWED to take.
Yep, it happened again!!!!  Heads cut off, grainy, and oblonged faces.
When will I face the fact that WalSuck will ALWAYS jack up my photos?????.....I'm a frugal hard head. Yes Randy, I admitted it!
{August 24, 1946}

This is my dad
Today is his birthday
How many years???????

63!!!!


Yes....this is the teenage face that used to work at Saratoga running the amusement rides.......He was totally the chick magnet!



This must have been the "rebel" stage...
Either that, or he had a facination with Kojack?!?
And this is the 'GQ of retired men' stage.
I think he progressed very well!
Happy Birthday Dad!!!!
We Love U!!!

{Blog under construction???}
To all of you fellow bloggers......
What the hell is going on with the blog set-up????
I see some advancements that could be helpful,
BUT, they left off spell check!!!!!
I cnat haav me blaug ful ov mispelins!
I nede spelchek becuz I am a horibl splr.
What do you all think about the updates???
Any helpful hints???
{Just call him Ralphie}


The coming of age for a boy.......
Don't they all HAVE to have a Red Ryder BB Gun?????


The dude behind the counter at Big 5 was a bit concerning to me........
Does he REALLY look like someone emotionally stable enough to be handling fire arms???? His personality was that of a grown man that is still resentful of high school, and all of the toilet swirlies endured.
Hey! I'm just sayin'.....

Riv immediately noticed that his gun was exactly like Uncle Justins! His chest puffed up talking about it :)
AND Randy wanted me to mention to Mike, something like, "Look Mike....Riv has safely glasses on". Must be an inside, had to be there statement?!?!?
I just do what I'm told.


Yes, my 11 year old boy has had testosterone running thick through his veins today....
Lot's of grunting, strutting, and self praise for what a great aim he is :)
I love these moments!
