I Cut My Hair

Actually, I didn't. But I had a similar experience to Char's where I went to upload a blog about just one experience and then discovered a wealth of pictures I had forgotten about that maybe you want to see. So here they are, sans haircut. 

Mom and Dad came! 

Here are the boys talking about the strange world of MLMs. (as if I didn't get enough of this topic all day every day)

Doug--presh!

And Sydney--....!


Billy got a new big 'ol mower! It is like a chariot and he can zip around his lawns like a crazy guy, except that he isn't even zipping around any lawns cus he hired some guys to do it for him! Yep, we have employees and equipment and a real live business. 




I don't know if that video worked, but I hope it did because it is joyous. So yeah, the business is booming and Billy is busier than ever. We love it!

In a strange twist of fate, there was a fire at Morinda. We all had to be evacuated and made jokes about Vivint just starting fires everywhere they go and doing it for job security because everyone needs a home automation system, even noni buildings. Nice try, Vivint. The fire trucks came and put it out in two seconds and we all went back to work. 

Me and Billy went bowling all by ourselves, which was fun but bowling is just more fun with a lot of people. Haha and neither of us bowled over 100. 

More of Billy mowing. On Saturdays I usually just go for a nice long run then drive around with Billy while he finishes off some work.

Here is a beautiful picture of a place I ran to! 

Then (this is the whole point of this blog) this weekend we went camping! It was so fun and so wonderful and so not even cold or rainy or snowy at all! We discovered a new camping spot and even found a place where we didn't have to pay. Woot! 

Sweet picture, eh?

Cool camping spot, complete with coursing river, wild trees, private fire ring, open meadow and beautiful mountain views.

I couldn't get Billy to hold still long enough to get a good picture except when he was taking a picture of me. 

Beavers are so crazy! They do this with their TEETH! 


Every time we go camping Billy practices starting a fire with nothing but his flint 'n' steel. He would have had great success this time, but everything was so wet from a week's worth of rain that it just wouldn't work and we eventually had to get some dry newspaper from the car. 

It was such a joyous camping trip! 

And now we know it is really spring/summer because the snails are coming back. This poor little guy hung out on our screen all weekend until there was a monstrous wind storm on Sunday and blew him right off! Now his butt is just still the screen and heaven knows where the rest of him is....ew...

But notice the sweet shed in the background that Billy built! It is chock full of all your wildest landscaping dream tools/equipment!

Two weeks and Billy and I will attempt to run a marathon through the mountains of Utah and then two months after that and LaDon and I (and maybe Billy!) will run 50k/50m through the mountains of Oregon! 

And that's pretty much it! Nothing too exciting here, but we are happy as can be and busier than you might think. Also, so few days until the family reunion!

  3. Syd doesn't look too miserable...she's just practicing for an upcoming horror movie. That's the best camping spot EVER! Billy's mower is fun. Your snail is so funny! Good luck in the marathon! You can win it!
