This may not work out...

Troy HATES it when I let my gas tank get too low. The good thing is, my newest car tells me when I am truly out of gas. The little meter goes ALL the way down to ZERO. See...

I tried it out...you know, seeing if it would truly take me all the way to zero.  Yup, sure did.  The problem with my experiment was that Troy was with me as it came to a close.  He saw that itty bitty zero and said me, "This may not work out."  What?  "This may not work out????"  In other words, he was threatening to leave his loving wife over an itty bitty zero.  I was forced to remind him that he had committed to me...for better or for worse.  (By the way, if this is his worst...he is not allowed to complain!).  At least I did my experiment when it was 67 degrees outside (my car told me that too).  A nice day for a walk should I have been forced to take one.

Another excuse...

We have decided that Zeppes is pretty yummy...but also a bit pricey. We look for "special" occasions to go there. Sometimes the special occasion is just deciding to drive by and pull in. Today we had a real reason to go...Garret is 14!

Happy Birthday, Garrett!

Garrett's 14!

My nephew, Garrett, turned 14! Getting kind of biggish.  Still small enough that his favorite Aunt Tiffie can tackle him and smother him in kisses.

We decided to go to Zeppe's to celebrate (we always look for an excuse to spend way too much money on a dessert).  Happy Birthday, Garrett.  You still have a few more kisses coming your way!

The reason why he can't wear white...

Troy LOVES all things "dipable." He will buy salsas, spreads, creams...you name it. That is the exact same reason why he isn't allowed to wear white.

Exhibit A - point proven.  

Park City 2013

We missed our trip to Park City last year because we had to make a trip to Disneyland...not a bad substitute. However, this year Park City was back on the calendar!   

We LOVE to go and spend the weekend with family.

The pool is the main attraction.

Crafts are a close second...always imagined up and provided by the fabulous, Grandma Carole.

Field trips around the resort are pretty popular too.

The pool is so warm that night swimming is a must.

More early morning crafting.

And then...back to the pool.

Even managed to do a little bit of shopping.  My new hair-do consists of putting on a hat.  I had to get a variety of colors.  I had an awesome little helper that seems to like hats too.

Card games and snacks!  A few of my personal favorites.

Random activities thought up by anyone with an imagination are also fair game.

After a fabulous weekend, Maddie attempted to drive us home...no go.

Thanks, Haun family, for a fantastic weekend!  See you next Fall for another round of swimming!
