My new swimming suit!

...ok so the story:

I had told Josh that I wanted a new swim suit this summer, cause my butt is too big for the "new one" he got me last year. I could have gotten new bottoms, but it would have been just as expensive to buy new ones as it would a cheaper new suit. I had seen a few at like Ross and TJ Max that I new I could get under $30. I didn't have money, so I figured that if I sold anything at a garage sale that we had at Mandi's house last weekend, then I could buy a new one.
Long story short, I sold my punching bag and gloves for $60, but I felt guilty for wanting to spend it on a non nessesary swim suit. So I told Josh (very sadly) that I could live with a last years.

A few days later, Josh tells me: "I bought you something, that should be here any day." So, not having the money so spend on random things, I kinda got after him since it wasn't my birthday, mother's day, or Valentine's day, he shouldn't be buying me anything."
then a couple days ago he says "I hope it's here before (our vacation) Park City!
So automaticly I think, "Oh, he bought me a new swimming suit!" For two days, I got my hopes up, even telling my sisters how thoughtful Josh was.

It came yesterday. I waited until Josh woke up to open it. As I ripped the package open, I see that he had bought himself TWO Metallica t-shirts (one being form the concert we went to last november) and this one for me.

I felt bad because I cried. I really had my hopes up. I guess it's my own fault for wishful thinking!!! :)

Family Cook Out

Having never been to porcupine, Dad said that we were going to have a cook out with my Aunt and Uncle who are serving a mission in the Cinnamon Creek camp ground. So we packed up the stuff for Josh to make the requested dutch oven potatoes and headed up (or down?). We got half way when Josh yelled "Cheese!" I guess that meant he forgot it, because we went back home.

When we got there, Dad had his veggies and "cobbler" going already, so Josh and I had to hurry and bust butt to slice our potatoes and onions. Thank goodness for a mandolin!
Bridget had fun with the smore's Josh made her, she had to go and show everyone her messy bites! Landon and Kylie really enjoyed it!

The food was most excellent, and the weather was just right (until we were packing up to leave). However, the ride home, was very messy!!!

It was a great night out!

Filling the Pig

For the 4th time, Bridget has filled he Piggy bank and was able to take it to the bank. which means a McD's Kids meal! She is becoming a rich little girl! Soon I think we will all be fighting over the spare change! I'll I have to say is she's ready to party in Park City!

She was too excited to go play, but we forced three chicken nuggets down, however only two stayed down, the third didn't quite make it to the party in her tummy! She was was to excited.

It wasn't quite af fun as it was when she played with her cousins at the play place, but she wasn't shy at all of making new friends that she could chase up and down the play equipment!

Soo CLOSE!

Attempting to fish

(this looks like she's being cute, but really
she's mad and trying to rip it out of my hands)

Today was a lazy day for me. When Josh woke up I felt guilty I was taking a nap on the couch. I just couldn't wake myself up for the life of me. Finally I asked him what he wanted to do today and he discovered that we only have 6 more days to go fishing before our licenses expire. So we went and got us some good ol' BK and went to the dam.

I was too nervous that Bridget would fall in the water, or throw our poles in, or be too mean to the ducks.... (I am a very paranoid mother) so Josh ended up just fishing. Well, we all tried, but Bridget and I ended up playing on the new equipment, and face planting in the mud! What an adventure. (no exclamation)

Bridget has become quite the climber, and seems to be fearless lately. I think with being a paranoid mother I have been telling her "no" and "don't" too offten, cause I get it back just as much.

The dirty little girl having way too much fun.

Bridget had to take Dad down the slide with her just to show him how much fun it was!

No catch of the day was made. I did see a couple big ones jump though!

Close Call

So since it's warmed up, my friend Heidi and I have been walking a couple nights a week. However, it's mainly just to get out and have girl time, so it's not really "excercise" cause we don't walk that fast...

anyway, the other night when we were walking, we went further than we usually go. We turned around and started walking back home. In mid-sentance Heidi says "There is a SKUNK!!" of coarse, I start booking it before I had even seen it, but she had to stop and check it out, she tryied to get me to come back and check it out with her, but I wasn't going to chance getting stunked by a skunk, so I told her I was fine where I was, then it took off leeping through the field, and there I saw it! IT was HUGE! Probably at least 18" wide and 2 1/2 feet long!!!
And Believe me... It was scary.

That was the first non-road kill scunk I have ever seen in real life besides the baby skunk that we saw in the zoo in South Dakoda.

I am very greatfull I didn't have to get any closer.

Wheew!
