We are the champions!!

The volleyball season is over. I've had fun being in charge but I'm glad the stress of it is over for the year. My team did really well in the tournaments. We were in C league and we played awesome. We took 1st place!!! Go Team!!

Bath

Can you tell Buckie really doesn't like his bath? He is always so cuddly trying to talk me out of giving him one.
He is always so good to hold still for me though.

He always gives me each paw.He really enjoys being put down though.
And he never forgets about the treat he gets when his bath is done.

But he always dries off on my pillow. I think it is his way of getting even with me for bathing him.

It was a MONDAY!!

Yesterday, C n' I were in SLC for a clinic appointment for C. It was bright and early so we stayed at my brother's place Sunday night. I dropped C off at the hospital around 8:15 so he would have time to find the clinic's since the hospital has been adding and moving rooms around.

My brother M asked if we would go to Lindon and pick up some fencing parts for him, so that is where I was headed. There was a traffic accident in Pleasant Grove and the traffic was backed up to Lehi. It took me 2 hours to get to Lindon and when I arrived my brother had NOT called ahead and they had no idea what I was supposed to pick up. Him and his wife were already on the plane so both of their cell phones were turned off. I called my mom to see if she knew anything and she said no. The people there took an educated guess and I left. Luckily my Mom had called one of my brother's employees and he called me and I had the wrong ones so I turned around and headed back to the store. Luckily I wasn't that far away yet. THANKS MOM!!

On my way to the hospital to get C. he called me to say that his P.F.T's were 2 points lower than when he went into the hospital last year and they really wanted him to stay. He really needed to and my Heavenly Father must have known because for some reason the company that he works for had their plane at his work and was going to be coming back to SLC at 2. All of the people C works with packed everything up for him and even added a care package, THANKS A!!!, so he would be able to work from his hospital room. However, we hadn't planned on him staying so he wasn't packed for this at all. I get to go back there on Friday with the things he needs.

I wanted to head home early enough that I didn't have to travel in the dark. On our way to SLC a deer had decided to run into the side of my car and rip off the side mirror and put little dents down the whole side of my car. Just as I was leaving the check engine light comes on. There isn't very good cell service on the way home and I didn't want to be stranded so I took my car in. They told me it would be about 2-4 hours. Aaaarrrrggghhh. My SIL came and picked me up thank goodness and took me in for 2 hours, THANKS L!, then I was finally on my way. Needless to say I drove home in the dark and I did see some deer I guess it helped me stay awake though because every time I saw one the adrenaline started pumping.

Man am I glad that today is Tuesday and going a lot better!!

Sheering the Sheep

Ok maybe he isn't really a sheep. I cut Buckie's hair last night. I was going to cut it 3 weeks ago but he hurt his back so I decided to wait til he felt better. His hair was nice and long and very curly. And yes my shirt is covered in his hair.

Super Saturday

Today our ward did it's Super Saturday. I chose to make these "Family" and "Love" signs. They are supposed to just stand up on a shelf but I put hooks on the back so I could hang them on my wall. I only had enough hooks for the family sign. C hung them for me and I think they look great. I'll have him hang the rest on Monday when I can get more hooks.

Weather

The weather has been horrible around here. Some days are beautiful, some are rainy, and some snowy. Luckily the snow has melted each time. I'm not ready for it to stay. With this weather comes the feeling of urgency to hurry and finish all of the projects and make sure everything is ready for winter.
Last Saturday C and his Dad finished our shed. It is so nice not to have to cover our 4 wheelers when we are done riding them, worrying that the exhaust pipe is going to melt a hole in the cover. I love being able to just pull in and be done. I like having a place for the lawn mower and go kart. I'm excited to have my garage 4 wheeler free this winter.

We finally had 2 days without rain so C was able to mow the lawn for the last time this fall. We got all of our hoses and drip system put away for winter.

Fixed the fence in the back yard. The horses tore it apart trying to get to our grass. Put a strong wire across the top that will hopefully keep them from damaging the fence again.

C got his elk a couple weeks ago. We were able to get that all cut, wrapped, and put in the freezer.

The only thing we are lacking is getting the garden tilled under and ready. We are hoping it is dry enough tonight to do that. It is supposed to snow tomorrow and I'm not sure if we are going to get another chance.

Are you ready for winter?
