Backyard

I didn't have to work today, and I've been caged up in my house, sick, but today was so beautiful outside. Sometimes, when I'm making the long drive home & decide we were crazy for moving out to Eagle Mountain, but today I remembered why we chose this town. We live right at the bottom of one of the mountains, and on clear days like today, I can walk out of my front door and go on the best walks/hikes. The air is clean and it's so quiet... but here's what I'm talking about...

SKUNK!!!

Ok, so Heather introduced me to blogging last year, but I forgot how to do it until today. So, I have some catching up to do.

I have no babies, but I have a bazillion babies via my brothers & sisters. One of these cute little nuggets is Phillip. He's got more charisma than kids 5 X's his age!

He really does look like a skunk here. He's so dang cute! And he usually has pretty strong gas, which adds to the illusion. Dash is my nephew Boyd and Cinderella is played by Daphne. Cute cute cute! The pregnant belly is played by Nick (2 months now.) Mark and Janis produce some cutie pies!


My list of things that must go...

There's a morning radio show in Utah, and every Wednesday they list their "things that must go." These are just everyday annoyances. I figured since it's Wednesday I'll list my things that must go:

1. Those monsterously huge shopping buggies with a car attached for little kids to sit in. They smell funny and take up an entire aisle at the grocery store.

2. When you're at the grocery store and people have mini reunions- blocking to the entrance of the aisle with their kiddie car huge buggies, not even budging when you give them the stink eye.

3. Green. My favorite decorating magazine arrived in the mail and it was the "Green" issue. As much as I want my carbon footprint to be as small as my r
eal footprint, organic and "green" items are waaay to expensive for my budget! $50 for an organic t-shirt that I'll probably ruin the first time i wash it!! I don't think so.

4. Hillary Clinton. Do we really want these 2 in the white house again? Really?
