d to Park City to shop at the Outlet Malls. We had a competition with who could get the cheapest price for a whole outfit. There were not any great sales going on or I guess I should say they were all having great sales, but the sale price was still expensive! My outfit won costing a mere $70(with everything on sale), so I got the prize, a gift bag of Bath & Body Works products! Time went by so quickly while we shopped, so we were too late to ride the zip-lines there---darn it! So we headed back to SLC to the Gateway Mall to look around and eat at the California Pizza Kitchen(great mexican pizza!)Also, like SLC, Park City had the Red Rock restaurant, one of my favorites, so I was happy to eat there! Great weekend of fun and laughing!

Park City
A few weekends ago, my nieces, Selena & Tauna, and I spent a weekend in SLC and Park City. In Salt Lake we enjoyed eating at the Cheesecake Factory---love that place!! And while we were waiting an hour to get seated, we hit the mall nearby and spent some quality time in Bath & Body Works--so hard not to buy all the yummy scents! The next day, we heade

My Birthday
I had a great birthday dinner at the beginning of this month! Served "made-from-scratc
h" lasagna, spring mix salad and garlic bread from Fredricos pizzaria--they have the best garlic bread!! Then I found a triple chocolate brownie mix, so we had a rich brownie, vanilla ice cream(Aggie ice cream of course), topped with chocolate sauce. It tasted so scrumptious! My mom and niece decorated with balloons and signs! Having the decorations made it even more festive for me. Great time spent with my family! My life is always brighter when I am surrounded by family!

Horseback Riding
I went horseback riding in Logan canyon with Raechel and Ben & Whitney. The 4 of us rode in the mountains nea
r Beaver Mountain area. The elderly guide and his young grandsons led us through creeks and trees and brush to a summit overlooking Beaver area. The guide had fun retelling his stories to us while we rode. Made a note to self: wear long pants when riding horses through mountains. My calves & shins got a bit scratched up through the vegetation! Also I learned it's okay to push away from a tree so you don't bang your knee on a tree. I got a minor bruise on my knee from hitting a tree trunk! Another thing I learned was that trotting is easier on my body if I stand a bit while the horse is trotting! But it's still ouch! It was a beautiful area and so peaceful....until near the end of trip, Raechel's horse tried to kick mine! There were kind of some tense moments hoping the horses wouldn't get out of control, but we all kept control of ourselves and got safely down the mountain! Then we got some take-out from Fredrico's...I absolutely love the ham & cheese salads and their garlic bread is to die for! We took our food to Lundstrom park and enjoyed our meals while listening to the babbling brook(inside huge plastic pipes...but if you didn't see the pipes you'd think the stream was right there). We had a good time!

Labor Day

For Labor Day, I went up to Burley, Idaho to visit with Skylar, Annie, Kolby & Lindsey(and Rizzo, the darling dog). We were thinking of going on a picnic to a park but it was rather cool and windy that day. So we ordered take-out Chinese food and watched a movie at their home. I enjoyed hanging out with them for a few hours! Kolby and Lindsey are growing so quickly! And I can't wait to have Matthew join the family in October!

Parent's 60th anniversary
Saturday we celebrated mom and dad's 60th wedding anniversary at Maddox Restaurant. These days it's quite an accomplishment to be married that long! Various family members attended the celebration to make it a special day. Maddox food was delicious(like I had any doubt), especially their rolls with raspberry butter, fresh peach pie and tender corn on the cob---okay my whole meal was excellent--turkey steak & mashed potatoes included. It makes my mouth water thinking about it! After our savory dinner, we gathered in a small park behind the restaurant to record mom and dad answering various questions about their lives. I loved listening to their memories. I think I need to record more of their memories! It was a great day of celebration and family! Loved it!
