    Oh What Do You Do In The Summertime

    Canyon is done with Kinder. It was full day which everyone has opinions on. I mostly danced a jig every day. Now that he’s out we are having a lot of fun. We got Lagoon passes so we’ll go a lot this summer. We only live about 10 min away. Canyon also finished soccer. Branton…

    Branton is 39

    Branton turned 39. Eesh. The grey in his beard is coming in strong. Canyon wanted to surprise Branton with a purple spider themed party. Nailed it. We also had to eat outside because our house had no AC. Fear not. Branton fixed it that night. Classic engineer.

    10 Year Anniversary

    Branton and I have been married 10 whole years. We went to the temple and did a session together. We ate sushi and my friend got us a Happy Birthday to our family cake. I thought that was so cute and thoughtful. Canyon just likes anything with candles. I cant even believe we have been…

    Soccer

    Canyon is on his first soccer team. The 7-Ups. Branton is the coach and it’s adorable. It’s just a kid tornado. No laws, just vigilante justice. Canyon had the time of his life. Branton laughed the entire time. At one point Canyon was standing in front of the goal. I told him to get back…

    California, here I come.

    Another name for this post is “Spoiled Rotten Brats”. On Sunday, Cammy invited us to come to California with everyone on Tuesday. After some humming and hoeing on my part, Branton and Cammy talked me into it. Monday I had 2 wedding bouquets to make. One for a girl in my neighborhood, the other for…

    Most Unfortunate

    Canyon cut his hair. Point blank at the bangs. Immediate regret. He wanted me to glue it back on. I had to buzz it. No saving it. He looked like the aliens on Galaxy Quest.

    See ya later, Appendix

    March 19, 2023, 2:00am I bolt upright in bed with a terrible stomach pain. I thought, I’m dying or this is something really stupid. I moaned and groaned for a few hours trying to find a comfortable position. Branton came home from work at 3:00am to find me laying on the floor. He eventually went…
