FLASHBACK FRIDAY - 1995

As one might suspect there was a time in mine and Brandon's life when we were of average weight. Feast your eyes on these two love birds.

Vanessa, please don't kick my trash, but I just had to include this flashback in honor of the days at Southern Utah University. Love ya g/f!

Walker Family Campout July 2008

In July we went camping at Mirror Lake for five days with my side of the family. I love this annual camping trip and am grateful for my quirky family and all the problems we seem to have. In comparison, this year was relatively problem free.





Every evening we gather to have dinner together. Look at all the little ones! How sweet!
This is my absolute favorite place to fish when we go to Mirror Lake. This is a little pond area across the highway from the campground and a short hike off the highway. Please note the look on Brandon's face and then turn up your speakers for the following video.


I'm not sure why Brandon was so onry-- maybe it had to do with the fact that I was catching fish on his fly and he wasn't, or maybe it was because the kids kept catching fish and didn't want to let them go. They wanted to keep them and cook and eat them, which we do and then they eat two bites and say "that's all I want." And then we have stinky fish in our garbage for the rest of the trip. Or maybe because the kids got to do more fishing than he did because we caught so many all he had time to do was unhook, rebait, unhook, rebait, argue about keeping fish, unhook, rebait, argue.... etc. etc. etc.
Although after seeing this bad boy, he did feel a little better.

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY

WHAT JOB?!?!

I quit. The end. I'm done. My boss offered me a full-time position as an A/P processor (which is a step up from my current title) and I turned it down (this was in June). She then proceeded to tell me that at some point, around August, they would no longer need a filing clerk because we were buying the software to become a completely paperless office. So I started to think that I needed to look around for a new job. Then my daycare sent home a note saying that they were closing their doors for good. That they were not able to keep their facility up to Utah code. So that kind of put the nail in the coffin and I laid my employment with Boart Longyear to rest.

Now I will have time to make my blog smokin' hot!!! And post like everyday!!! Just kidding, no promises Vanessa and Jarvie.

4th of July In Cowtown - Try not to be jealous

Check it out y'all!! Brayden was chosen to be on the Little League All-Star team and got to ride in the Grantsville 4th of July parade. I am in love with this "parade entry" for many reasons:


1: I'm so proud of Brayden!

2: To heck with traditional wagon wheels, bring on the all-terrains

3: The horses hooves have been sprayed with glitter!

I have titled the following "parade entry"

COMMITTED to excellence in taxidermy

And finally... the crowning jewel and pride of this years Grantsville City 4th of July parade....behold

THE ABSTINANCE FLOAT

It may be hard to read but the float reads "Abstinence=Independence". This float was sponsored by the Tooele Teen Pregnancy Protection Team. And what would you think they were handing out along the parade route? These wonderful bracelets

It reads "True Love Waits"

The good news is that Shery, Quin and family came out to BBQ and see the parade.

Maddie helped Jensen stragically place stickers on his body.

And we rounded out the evening by going with Jen and her boys to the Bees game and watching the fireworks afterwards.

Woooo HOOOO!!! GOOD TIMES!!!!
