Summer Fun

This is our whole summer in one post. Lake Powell, Bear Lake, Park City, Lagoon, getting "pretties", 4th of July and playing in the yard. WOW! We got it all in and now we're just waiting for snow.

IT's A....

BOY! Yep, it's officially a boy! A little slow on the post cause we've known for a few weeks, but I've been trying to wrap my brain around blue instead of pink. Telly is getting use to the idea now, too. Working on a name, so if there are any good suggestions, let me know.

Suprise!!

We are having a baby and Macee is very excited! You might not be able to tell from the picture, but she really is. I'm due 12/11, so I'm 19 wks right now. It looks like it might be a boy, but we'll know for sure tomorrow at our big ultrasound. I'll keep ya posted!

Best Salmon Recipe

Calling all grilling /summer recipes!! I'm looking for your favorite meals/recipes that scream summer! Leave a comment, then YOU post all the details of how you grubb on these hot evenings. I'll start with the best salmon recipe. We eat it all the time and it's an easy clean up.

Rub a little olive oil on any size piece of salmon. Cover with Lawrys Seasoning Salt and lemon pepper. I don't think you could put too much, so cover it well. Wrap in tin foil and cook on your grill for 15-20 min, depending on the size of your salmon.

If you love this recipe (which I'm sure you will) and you're looking for a great caterer, leave me a comment and I'll give you the number or just check out the website of The Company Grill!

Happy Grilling!

I'M TWO!!

Well, getting closer to 3 now. I just wanted to write down some details cause it's easy to forget. Macee went to her 2 year check-up and the results are:

Weight: 21lbs 14oz (3%)
Height: 31.5 inches (3%)
Head: 48.7 cm (50%)

She's talking so much and repeats anything you say. She loves her babies, puppies, singing, her binki (what do ya do about that) and playing outside. Can't wait to see what else this girl has in store. Love ya Macee!!

One Proud Papa

We took Macee skiing a few weeks ago with all (well, mostly all) the Longhurst cousin. It was a little rough at first trying to figure out how to get Macee, skis, polls, equipment and diaper bag to the lodge, plus Macee was tired and wondering why we were torturing her in a snowsuit and big boots. At this point we realized why most people don't take their 1 year olds skiing and that this day was clearly for her papa. Things got better once we convinced her to get on the lift and we headed down the mountain. We held her under her arms or she'd stand between the two of us. She really liked it and was saying "weeee" all the way down the mountain. Our day was a success and all the effort was worth it. Lets just say she had one proud papa.

Mediocrity Tag

Tagged by Skye O & Denise who were tagged by Abby O: I challenge all who read this plea, to put down their craft projects, and t-ball trophies---just for a few hours, and let me see the human side of your lives. I'm not asking for a video account of you losing your temper after one of your 45 sons pees in the garbage can. Maybe just a picture of an unmade bed, or a mole with hair growing out of it. Just listen to your hearts on this one post, and then get back to business as usual.

If you can't tell, this is the landing of our stairs. We are working on finishing our basement and we needed a place to put "stuff" while the guys were working. When it's 11:00 pm the night before they are coming it seems like a good solution. But now it's been over a month and the landing & stairs are still covered in "stuff."

This is the laundry room right inside from the garage. It naturally becomes a catch all for anything coming in from the cars, the store, outside, the mailbox, shoes or someone dropping something off.
Trust me, this isn't the worst the house has been. There are times I wonder what tornado hit our house and missed the neighbors completely.
