Summer Fun

 We had a great summer of watching my friends kids 3 days a week.  We consider them part of the family. Wyatt and Micah are brothers!!  Seriously, they would just wrestle all day.

 One of Wyatt's BFF's Kolton.  Hanging out at the pool!!

 RSL FANS!  We love going to RSL games!!

 One of my favorite nephew!  Loved hanging out with them for a week this summer!

 This was for Father's Day!  We had a slip and slide out for the kids, it was 90+ degrees outside and they wanted to sit in the hot tub!  CRAZY!

 Shawn is the 11yr old scout leader and this is a flag they decided and I sewed it and put it together!!  

 Brigham City Open House!!!  It was beautiful!  Loved the Peach blossom theme!  The kids are excited to twelve this year and go back and do baptisms for the dead!!

The injury from heck!  This is has been such a struggle for me!  The end of August I was standing in my garage just arriving home from a ward party and Shelby our 80 lb dog came running around the corner into the garage and before she could stop she took me out!!  Literally took me out!  I have never felt so much pain before in my life.  I believe child birth didn't hurt this bad. After a long weekend and being able to get into the othopedic on Monday, MRI that night (painful) and result Tuesday afternoon, the conclusion was a torn PCL.  Yes, that is the most difficult ligament to tear in your knee.  It runs down the back of your knee opposite of the ACL.  When the doctor told me no surgery I truly felt blessed. It has been a very difficult ordeal.  With the torn PCL  I also ruptured my bursa.  The bursa hold your knee cap.  Shawn and the kids have been truly amazing.  I couldn't get through the day without them.  My neighbors and friends have also been amazing.  It's been a true humbling experience.  

~Monkey vs Owl~

In the last 3 weeks I have made so many different kinds of hats but the most popular are the Sock Monkey hats and the Owl hats! The three above are some that I made for Aunt LuAnn's grand kids. Way to much fun!

I had a friend that wanted a owl hat with pom poms for the ears! What do you all think? I do have a blog for all my hats if you would like to see them! www.hugsbymugs.blogspot.com

-Monkey Attack-

Shelby was driving me "CRAZY" this morning so I tied this on her! She totally wouldn't move. It made us laugh.

My newest Project!

Merry Christmas to myself!!! I made this! Can you believe it?? Had so much fun! Now just where to put it in my house!

~Football!~

Wyatt has been so excited to play football this year!! He is playing Left Guard (for those of you who don't know football that is on the defensive line) We played Kaysville on Saturday and won 26-13. Wyatt had a great game! He had some big key tackles.

He is also on the kick off team. Does he look ready to play or what???

~Patriot Border Run~

On the 4th of July the kids ran the "Kids Mile". They had a lot of fun and I think that there were more excited to get a t-shirt and a number pinned on their shirt then to actually run!

Mckaylee woke up not feeling to well but she wanted to do it anyways! Good job!

Myself and Heather and Robert Stephenson ran the 10k. You start in Lewiston and run to the Utah/Idaho border (get it patriot border run) I think I had more cow poo on my shoes than I did when I did the Dirty Dash! Heather and Robert live down the street from us and are our very close friends. We all go to boot camp together! It's great to see how far we have come over the last year!
