Where does the time go?

This summer has just simply disappeared. In recent news, my Dads family was all in town to help us celebrate my Grandpa Bryce's 80Th birthday. It was so great to have them all here. My sides are still aching from laughing all weekend. I got to have Burg and Bryn here for the entire weekend too. I just don't get to see those two enough. Boy is it nice to have Burg to lean on and help out.
I even had time to squeeze in a mini photo shoot. Surprisingly I was the one being photographed. Let me tell you about that anxiety! I don't usually get in front of the camera on purpose. Luckily Burg was there to calm me down and make me act normal. One of our friends from Salt Lake is a photographer, I stole some random site ideas from another friend of mine and we headed out. I am amazed. I will get her web info and post it with a few of my favs.

Three little tornados!

I took Brynlee, Gracee and Frankee to the park a few weeks ago. Talk about crazy! We got sprinkled with rain, no big deal, these 3 are tougher than most boys. The most fun was taking pictures on all the statues. What little posers! I love to get all the girls together, I hope they are lucky enough to be as good of friends as I have in Burg!

Who needs a nap?

June Drag Race

2009-07-16T08:15:00.000-07:00

Gracee raced her 4-wheeler. She did great. She may be a natural. I don't think there is any way around it:) How cute is all that pink riding gear? Hopefully both of the girls will race the next one. I wish I had a picture of Shayd. She is kicking ass and taking names at every race. Atta girl!

tan lines?

My Mom and Dad have a pool at their house. It's an absolute life saver in this heat. Gracee is a water baby. Frankee on the other hand, not so much. Brings the term 'monkey on my back' to a whole new light.

So I started this thinking that I would update on a regular basis....Now that's just funny! I am actually going to go with a broad over view.

Mom & Dad: Dad is the Fire Chief and busier than ever! Between business inspections and the new truck, it's easier to find him at the station than it is at home. Mom is itching to take off for the summer in the motor home and get her camping started. She has no less that 6 trips already planned for the summer and those don't count the ones that all of us are goin on.

Me: Hmm. Now that it's finally warm its time to get my yard whipped into shape. I have tons of renovations that I want to do at my house. If only it would rain money I could actually afford them all at once. I love my job at my Insurance office, and the shifts that I get to pick up waitressing.

Josh & Marci: Josh is involved in about 10 million different projects from-building custom roll cages for rhinos and other UTV's to building and racing drag bikes, setting everything up for the bike drags (next one in May!) and working at the lime plant. Marci, lord how does she put up with Josh and his randomness? She is truly a saint. She is kicking ass and taking names with her BLACK BELT! She may be small but I would take her as the winner of any scrap she is in. She keeps Josh in line and is a HSM fanatic.

Chasie & Fred: Farm season is upon us and Freddie is right in the thick of it. Chasie has the same random gene as Dad and Josh. 10 million projects and things going on. EMT, Diamond D assisted living, home care patients, not to mention 2 little girls that have got the energy and spunk of 2 little hurricanes!

Gracee: She turned 7 in April and has somehow morphed into this teenager, every now and then the sweet 7 year old peaks her head out and you remember why you are completely smitten. She is almost finished with the 1st grade, she loves school and is a really smart kid. It makes me laugh that she is the spitting image of my sister and she oh so deserves it!

Frankee: She will be 4 in May, oh how time flies! Seems like just that other day that we were all at the U of U gazing upon our new little 3 pounder. You would never in a million years guess that she was a preemie when you see her now. Lucky kid looks just like her fantastic Aunt Sharamee! She is too much fun and keeps us all young, with her stories and personality.

Justin & Erin: Justin is keeping our city up and running with the other 'city boys'. He really likes his job and especially being back in D-town with his family. Josh and Justin are thick as thieves. I often get questioned by their wives as to why they were never warned about the two of them. Silly girls, if we would have warned them, we would have never gotten those two boys married off. Erin is working at the Care Center and going to school, to get her RN. She is so laid back and easy going, really just good to go. Being married to Justin can't be a walk in the park. lol

I'm hoping to get some pictures posted soon

I guess I'm a blogger

I think this will be agreat way to stay in touch with family and friends. This way I can post pics and keep everyone updated on the happenings of the Ashby clan.
