If you have ever thought I was a loser................ well think again!! I always knew I had a "winner" inside me waiting to win. Look at the darling apron I won from the blog "The Walkerz."




I had Carver take a picture of me in it, Isn't it sooo darling!! (I am kind of scared to get it dirty).
I had to answer the question "what inspires me" AND I WON!!! Well, I just had to share the moment with you, it is not everyday you are the "Chosen One."
I keep telling her she needs to sell them, thus next time you need a gift for someone special, or a gift for someone who is not special, think of Kelly's amazing aprons!!!
Cheers,
The Chosen ONE.

Cowboy Poetry

Chad's parents were getting ready to go to a concert. Chad's Dad decided to wear a very out of date (sort of western looking) vest with his slacks. The following conversation took place in their room:

Rita: "You need to change you can't wear that vest it doesn't match and it looks dorky."

Greg:"What do you mean it looks dorky, I love this vest. Jan gave me this vest for Christmas, it looks great!"

Rita: " You can't wear that, that is sooo old and out of date."

Greg: "It is not out of date, I like it and I am wearing it!"

Rita: "Well, I think you should wear something else."

Greg walks out of their bedroom and into the kitchen were he is greeted by Taylor (at age five) who says, "Nice, vest Cowboy!"

Greg then returned to his room to remove the dorky vest. AND that is Taylor always good for a one liner to get the point across. He just says it like it is and lets the cards fall where they may -I love that quality in him.

IQ Test

Two nights ago my nephew Luke got really serious with my Dad and sat him down to tell him that I was not as smart as his mother because I burn Mac 'n Cheese. My Dad broke the news to me the next day -lets just say, what doesn't break you, makes you stronger.

Look how happy these kiddies look to be climbing straight up a mountain to get to Timpanogos Cave. Have you ever seen more enthusiastic children?

A few smirks trying to hide their excitement.

Taylor giving Carver "bunny ears." Apparently this "bunny" has three ears.

Here is the crew inside the cave. The famous saying for the hike came from Zach man. He said, "if I keep putting one foot in front of the other, I am one step closer to the top. Wise words from a very wise boy.

After hiking Timpanogos they drove out to see the Bingham Copper mines. Because why stop with just one Utah landmark when you can see two?
