YW Clothing Swap

 The Beehives put together a clothing swap for mutual.  All the girls brought clothes, hats, belts, shoes, scarves, jewelry, etc.  I even robbed from Caslyn and Kinsie.


SUCCESS!
The girls all went away with some great finds.  Here they are with their "loot."  That Sunday, I saw many of the girls sporting some new looks:)

OUR NEW MECHANIC!





Caslyn noticed that her car was squeeling.  She asked her dad about it.  He said it was probably her brakes.  Sure enough!  She wanted to be a "big" girl and fix her own car, (with the assistance of her daddy, of course).  First off, she needed to look professional.  Rick gave her a jumpsuit like the one he wears when he works on the cars.  She was stylin'.
She took the brakes pads off, went to the auto part store, put the new ones on and took her car for a test drive.....PERFECT.... Now she's ready to roll!

Logan's 1st Dance

 "Logan, get the door!"  I said, as someone was ringing the doorbell.  So Logan opened the door to find this on the porch.  He was being asked to the fall dance by Holly Chadburn (a friend of his who lives in Odgen).  I then looked at him when he deciphered who it was and I asked, "are you ok with this?"  His reply, "Oh Yes!" with a smile.

He answered her back by spraying YES in silly string on her house and leaving her a "pile" of  deer droppings (Milk Duds).  The sign read, "to end the deer hunt, follow the dropping to find my answer."  Cheesy but cute!  Needless to say, they are both excited.
To find out her name, Logan turned over the cake and on the bottom were pennies wrapped up in tin foil.  He had to unwrap the pennies and unscramble the letters.  Kinsie actually figured it out.  That's my smarty pants, Kins!

MARSH LAKE!!

I'm trying to put on my rigging since I lost it when I cast.


This one is for Dad!  Ahhh....this is the life!


This time the fish took off with my entire rig as well.  I'm so slow, so Rick is assisting so I can get back to my fishing.

One of our little friends that Rick enjoyed feeding.  He even jumped on my neck and on our screen to get into our trailer.


One of my favorite pass times!




Catch Of The Day!!  I caught the biggest fish of the trip.  About 17"


Rick's biggest!  About 16 inches.

Fresh trout!  Delish!  (Rick had a steak)

Look!  There's even a line at the bathroom in the mountains!
Rick in his solitude.

Foil wrapped grilled shrimp!  Yummy camping food.

This is all I need....my pole and a book.  This is heaven!

Looking from our camp.

Fall is coming.  The quakies are already turning a beautiful yellow.

Rick and I had a wonderful time.  We went to Marsh Lake for our last Hoorah of the season.  Just the two of us.  It was a beautiful week.  Big fish, quiet, relaxing and perfect weather.  We couldn't ask for more......well, except maybe our camping and fishing buddies....My mom and dad!!

I MADE SALSA!!  I've never made salsa before and I was actually quite proud of myself.  They look good, now for the taste?
 

The Foxpointe "FOXRUN"

Rick and 5 other men from our neighborhood planned a 2 day motorcycle trip up through the Uintahs and on to Idaho. It was a beautiful weekend and the weather was perfect! They drove up through Logan Canyon and up to Bear Lake an on to Mt. Pilliar in Idaho and stayed the night there. The next day came down through Wyoming down the south slope of the Unitah Mountains on down to Kamas to SLC. They had a great time. One of the men is putting together a video of the pics of their trip. It was unanimous that it's going to be an annual run!
Rick's rental since his bike wasn't ready yet.  It was a pretty sweet ride though.  We're getting ready to meet the other couples for dinner the night before.

The men decided to take their sweet wives out to dinner the night before, since we were such good sports and staying home.  They all showed up on their motorcycles with the wives on the back.  ZOOM ZOOM!

Dinner at Zupas!

Danny embroidered these vests for each of them.  It says FoxRun.  I guess they are officially a "gang"


Tony Grove up Logan Canyon



They actually visited a museum!
