This summer has gone to fast

I can't believe that it is August already. Royce registers for school on the 18th and starts on the 25th. Where did it all go. It has been a quiet summer for me. Last weekend Royce spent at the Emery County Fair. He was in the parade and then went and enjoyed the festivities. Every year they have "Hypno Hick" and Royce was a chosen participant. It is a very funny DVD. They drove a car, flew a plane, were a chicken laying an egg etc. Had a good laugh as I was watching it. Austin did it a few years ago, too.
I enjoyed a great weekend with sister Wendy. We visited with Austin in Cedar City and went to the play "As You Like It" at the Shakespeare Festival. We were joined by my friend Kathy and her Mom. It was nice visiting with them. Sunday Austin, Wendy and I went up to Cedar Breaks and enjoyed a picnic and then a great little hike. It sure is beautiful down there. A lot more hikes I would like to take. Wish I could have spent more time with Austin, but had to get home to work toward another trip. Sure do miss him, but glad he is enjoying himself and getting an education.
Not much else is going on. Just work and school. It has been interesting around the dealership with this Cars for Clunkers promotion. Of course, we have yet to see any money from the government. Everyone have a great week ahead.

Finally some time to add a post

Here are just a few pictures from our great trip to Seattle. I am going to try and post more in a web album I will email out. Had the greatest time The first picture is Maisy at her first baseball game. Then we have the best host and hostess' in Seattle. Austin at the top of the Space Needle, but Royce didn't want to go up, so where is Royce?
We ate a lot and had some great laughs. I wish I had the time and money to just go around and visit with everyone. I love the ocean, but more so in the Northwest as I am a watcher of the ocean and not a surfer. Who knows where I may end up when I decide what I want to be when I grow up. Royce got his license and is driving all over Carbon and Emery counties now. It is music time right now. Royce on the drums and his friend on the keyboard I think.
I had a quiet 4th of July. Watched the parade from my front yard then the fireworks that night from my living room. Royce went up camping that afternoon for the rest of the weekend with his dad. I just relaxed for a change. Not much homework the last two weekends. Next weekend is going to be different with the end of this class coming up. I am scheduled to graduate if I continue at this rate in April 2010. Maybe it will be my birthday present next year.
Went to the Greek Festival in Price last night. Had fun watching the drinkers and the dancers. It was nice to get out with friends. Well that's about as exciting as we get here on the Swell. Maybe I will try and update a little better.

Happy Easter

Royce has been on spring break since Thursday and guess what he has been doing? Yep Xbox Xbox Xbox. He was up most of last night playing. Finally took it is his room about 2 so I couldn't hear him. I spent today doing homework. Such fun it was a case study on the ExxonValdez oil spill. This was the team paper due on Monday. The team I am on this class is pretty good. The professor is not quite what the others have been. He throws out little diversions to keep us all thinking. This is my last weekend for this class then it is onto one about researching.
It is raining here so it was a good day to just stay indoors. Hopefully it will clear off for tomorrow. Our church has their sunrise service up at the pageant site in the foothills. It is beautiful up there to listen to the word of God and see the majesty of the sunrise.
Hope you are all have a great Easter weekend. Love and miss you all.

Another class completed

Yea I got through one more class and it was a fun one:( Hope I never have that professor again. I liked the subject of cultural diversity though.
I went to Royce's SEOP or student planning today. He is on track for graduation - wow where are the years going. He got a list of what he has to take next year. The boys spent the weekend with their dad in St George paintballing with their cousins. Seemed to have fun. Royce only came home with a few bruises. I spent Saturday spoiling myself. I went to a day spa and did the whole fun thing. Jacuzzi, Sauna, Massage and Facial. I felt wonderful after, unfortunantly I couldn't just stay there I had to came back to the real world. I am enjoying following everyones blog. It is a great way to keep up on everyone. Next I guess I need to get a FaceBook page. Maybe this weekend I can get the boys to help me. They can help me improve my blog page too. Austin will be home for Spring break for a few days and to get his wisdon teeth pulled-yuck. I still have two of mine, no wonder I am so smart - ha ha. Will write sooner hopefully next time.

New Year

so I tried to add some pictures. Not to bad for a beginner. Will learn how to add words and pictures next. The boys and I spent last weekend in sunny St George. The boys had a wild time playing paint ball with their cousins and uncle. Took a hike up Red Cliffs (One of the Mason's favorite sun spots) and had a fun time. Of course no one had a camera as Royce climbed up through a slot and looked like he was stuck with his feet hanging. Could have really scared someone with that trick. Hope everyone is having a great year.
