well what a nice weekend

Sue and I had a very relaxing weekend.

Kids all went to the Juan Diego vs Judge Football game this past Friday, JD won, woo hooo. We sat around the house till late when Marketta came over with a bottle of Champagne to celebrate.

Saturday was the REI garage sale, got a few "steals" there, some trekking poles, new shoes for 9.83 and a new shirt for under 5.00, after that Sue and I took off for the Real Salt Lake game, the final game at Rice Eccles Stadium. We took Trax down, had dinner at Z'tejas and then over to the rainy game. We miss the kids playing soccer :( RSL lost on a weird play where the goalie and his own player collided and the other team took the ball and scored. Anyway, good to get away for the night.

Sunday was a nice lazy day, grocery shopping, clothes shopping, etc. etc.

We need to get back to hiking and camping. Hopefully the snow comes quick and we'll be up skiing in no time. Make your reservations now to come out to the "greatest snow on earth"

till next time.

where have we been........

We've basically been missing in action the past 2 weeks, sorry for not updating the blog.

Lots of things going on. We've gone to Larry and Denna's Margaritaville 3 weekends ago, that was a good time, needless to say, we heard thru the policevine that Leo called the cops on that party too. What a party pooper. Leo, if you're reading. Please, let it go. You're not making it very neighborly around here. Soooo, the party ended and we all went home.

Then last weekend, we were camping up in the Unita Mountains over Labor Day, same camp spot as last time and same turnout in people with the addition of Brandon and girls, minus Kristi who was stuck in LA with the hurricane coming thru. Glad to hear she got home safely. Same camp spot, same problem - RAIN, although we lucked out with the snow, it snowed at approx 9,000 feet, we were at 7800, so we were close. I put a thermometer in the tent, when Sue and I went to bed, it was 55 in the tent, when we woke up it was 45. We weren't cold though, that's the testament to our gear from REI. Can't wait to go camping later this fall, hopefully where the snow is falling.

This past weekend Maria O'brien had a party. More of a party because the economy sucks. Lots of appetizers and drinks. Lots of Real estate people complaining about the economy, me included.

What else has happened???? Well, this house is now full of teenagers............Justin turned 13 on Saturday the 6th, for those of you that called, thanks, Justin appreciated it. Justin is 13, Ali, still 13 till the 24th of this month and Travis turns 18 on November 28th, so all of our kids are now teenagers. You can tell when you see me, lots more gray hair. oh well, they're great kids and we're lucky to have them.

That's about it for now.

Pictures later, when i figure out which ones I need to put on.

Carry on.
