Summer's end...

I've been a lazy little blogger lately. My head hasn't hatched an original thought all week and let's be honest, it's late summer and I want to spend as much time outdoors as I can.

Speaking of outdoors, we made plans to go camping last weekend and then Trevor came home from football practice on Monday and said they were having a fund raiser game on Saturday at 1:30 in the afternoon. Well, needless to say that put a damper on our weekend plans so we postponed our trip to this weekend (since there was no game on the schedule). The league ended up canceling last weekends game at the last minute but we had already changed our plans so it didn't effect us either way. Last night Trevor comes home and informs us that his coach's arranged a game for this weekend. WHAT! He has got to be joking....right? NO, he's not. We are left changing our plans once again to accommodate football. We decided to camp close to home this weekend so we can drive to town for Trevor's football game and back to the camp ground. Jesh...I'm so excited. We've decided to go to Grantsville...a whole 40 minute drive from home. But, on the positive side, we can still four-wheel, ride bikes and hang out with our friends and family and watch my baby play football. It will still be a great weekend!

I hope all of you are enjoying your summer because there are only 31 days left until autumn rings in and leaves start to fall. I have to admit, fall is my personal favorite. Come on, who doesn't welcome the warm/vibrant colors that surround us during the fall months??? I know I do! I enjoy the warm (not hot) days and chilly nights. I love wearing sweaters and shopping for the new trends and boots. OMG...it's almost boot season...yay! I even get to put my designer hat on and decorate the house through-out the fall season (in fact, the remainder of the year...autumn, Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas). Such fun! Oh, and I must mention photography. I know the kids get tired of pictures because fall is the best time to be outdoors snapping shots of them. I lay them in a pile of leaves and let them go at it. We take an annual drive up Butterfield Canyon and get family pictures done... we'll head to the railroad tracks, and barns, we'll go to the park and I'll make the kids pose, sit, stand, etc. and all they will want to do is play...well, I'll I want to do is get a good snap shot of them. I do love the candid pictures as well and I eventually let them run around and play so I can capture those pure and innocent moments that I will treasure throughout my life time.

That brings me to another topic. I really need to organize my pictures and get them scrapbooked. Once the cold and dark season kicks in, I'm all for scrapbooking with a cold drink, chocolate treats, a warm blanket and country music. I think I've convinced myself that I'm ready for the next 4 months...but are you?

STRAIGHT OR CURLY?

I'm finally posting a before and after picture. I LOVE my hair straight. I may miss the curls at some point but straight hair is so much easier. I finally have control over my hair. I can even use a hairbrush. YA!
