Scrapbooking, Sort of.....

I took a few days off, thinking we would travel to Utah, but decided to stay home....I've mentioned this before. Anyway -Today, my daughter Amy came over and we scrapbooked. I guess you can call it that. I bought a scrapbook kit from QVC--my first purchase---It came with all the paper, embellishments and album to finish a very nice girly project. It also came with a computer program so that you can print off digital pages to match the traditional paper and glue book. I finished the scrapbook, except I don't have the pictures glued down, in fact I don't have any idea what pictures to put on the pages. I thought about a family book, with my mom and dad and their kids and the grandkids and the great grandkids. Then I thought, It's kind of girly, I should do it for just the girls....mom, me, my daughters, my daughter-in-law, my sister my neices my granddaughters, and I'll put my step daughters and ........ I find it so hard to actually finish a project. I have at least 5 scrapbook kits that just need to have pictures glued down. HELP!!

ps --I said that today's project was my first QVC purchase, but my 2nd and 3rd QVC purchase arrived today. More Projects.................

pss ---QVC makes it so easy --just click one button and it's mine!!!!

psss---why is it that I can read and reread and check again for spelling mistakes and only after I publish the post and ... read the blog do I find mistakes?

Near the Owhyee Dam

Gary and I were going to take a few days off and travel to southern Utah. We thought that riding our quads near Moab would be great fun. However, with everything going on with the bailout and talk of a recession, we decided to stay home. Yesterday we explored closer to home.

August 30th we went ATVing with Nicole, John and Hadley. Don't you love John's John Deere hat. He says it's about 15 years old.

Beautiful view, we took the dirt road east off of Highway 95--mile marker 7.

Happy Birthday Patrick

Hadley and Tucker spent the Day

Tucker and Hadley spent the day with me on Monday. I had one more vacation day to take before September 1st. What a fun way to spend it. The kids are entertaining me with song and dance. They are standing on the cement slab that will one day be the shop office.

Last Week-end

Gary My husband, and my daughters and their husbands, and Emily and Tucker went Camping at Sage Hen. I haven't been there before, but it was a great spot. I enjoyed it a lot. It's not very far from home, there is a lake for fishing (we didn't fish), miles and miles of ATV and dirt bike trails as well as hiking trails.

We went on a hike. Mark, Susan -- their baby is due in Dec

Mike, Amy, Emily and Tucker

Granddog - Riley

We enjoyed the ATV trails, we saw signs of bears on the trails. I guess the bears stay away from the camp grounds, there were no warnings posted. That I saw!
