WMAS BBQ

On Saturday we attended the annual bbq for the wmas club. It is a salt water fish club. We had such a great time. They shot off a cannon full of candy for the kids and they had a blast gathering all of that up! They had a fun blow up slide that the kids loved. We also participated in a couple of contests and ended up winning $40.00 in gift certificates and Hayley won Matt a polo shirt! Boy was he excited! We had such a great time and wanted to thank everyone who put the bbq together! You did a fabulous job and the food was great!

State Fair!!

Last Saturday Matt's Dad took us all to the State Fair. We had such a good time. We visited all of the booths and vendors. We walked through the petting zoo and Matt even put on an apron and joined the kids in planting a garden! LOL... I thought he looked cute! We went to one of the show barns and found a poster of a pig I painted when I was 12 years old! I couldn't believe it was still there! The year I painted it, I actually won Grand Prize and won tickets for my whole family to attend the State Fair! It was a long time ago! YIKES! Matt's dad saw a booth that you can stick your hand in hot wax while you are holding a rose. It kind of makes it more sentimental because it is your actual hand. I think Susie will love it! She is gone for the week to visit Matt's sister who had surgery, so she will be surprised when she gets home. One last thing - I am asking everyone to please pray for my sister. She had a kidney stone surgery, she had a kidney stone the size of a quarter and she has been so very sick. I hope she gets better soon! Keep her in your prayers! Thanks to all of my great friends and family out there! I love you all!

The Reef Tour

As most of you know, Matt and I belong to a fish club. They had a reef tour where you go to peoples houses and view their tanks and set-ups. We had a great day and saw some awesome tanks - yes Matt was drooling! It is amazing the time and money these wonderful people put into caring for fish. I hope one day we have a tank as beautiful as these!

Matt's new ride!!

Okay, so most of you know that Matt works at RC Willey out by the airport and goes to school at Salt Lake Community College. He lives in Lehi, so the money he puts into gas every week is a lot! He had been looking into cars that run on compressed natural gas. We have looked for quite a while and we even took a road trip to the Manti area to look for some that were for sale down there. It runs on both natural gas and regular fuel, so when the natural gas is out it automatically switches to regular fuel. The price for natural gas is .87 cents a gallon, which is a lot cheaper than regular fuel. He found this suburban on KSL. I don't really know if the guy who was selling it knew exactly how much it was worth. Matt got it for $14,000 which is a great deal compared to the ones we had looked at. Yes.... it is a family wagon. LOL... But, Matt loves to camp and so it will be fun to take it camping and be able to pull things with it. I am really excited for him. He deserves the best!

Demolition Derby...

On Saturday the 16th we went to the Utah County Fair. They held it at the Spanish Fork Fairgrounds. We got to walk around and check out all the animals and booths. Later that night we got tickets for the demolition derby. For those of you who don't know what a demolition derby is.. it is the funnest thing ever to watch! People take old junky cars, remove the fuel tanks and chain it in the back seat. They put huge pipes and crazy paint jobs on the cars. They then compete with 6-10 other cars hitting each other just like you would with bumper cars to see who pretty much is the last car running. They have to get a hit every two minutes or they are disqualified. Some of the cars get pretty banged up. They have a powder puff for the girls and boy does it get wicked! There was a girl who actually t-boned another car and it rolled and landed upside down pinned the other driver in the car. It was a crazy time! They had fireworks afterwards. We were all tired from a long days fun!!
