About Me and My Loves
Howdy Y'all and Welcome! I have been married to my studly hubby for almost 5 years now; who is an energetic, outgoing, handyman helicopter pilot. We recently made our first big move cross country from Utah to Texas with our now 20mo. old "Rae of Sunshine" Azure. We love experiencing anything and everything and holding nothing back. We love dreaming and creating things of all kinds together. I hope that this blog will help our families back home keep up with our busy life, and maybe inspire some along the way...from family to home, money to food, holidays, travel, photography and crafts. this... this is my life!.... Enjoy.

Hike to Hoyt Peak



We took a little hike yesteday to a peak here by Kamas....well ok we didn't hike the whole way...we rode the dirt bike most of the way then climbed the last 400 feet on foot... Hey don't laugh we are getting old! The top of Hoyt's Peak is 10,200


24th of July!

We had a blast over the 24th of July! We stayed in Kamas and did all the festivities they had up here. They have a little city celebration called Fiesta Days. They had parades, auctions, Bull-a-rama( which included cow milking contest...where were you this year Patrick, we could have one, they also had hide racing, saddle on cow race) it was awesome, they also had a rodeo and then a Demo derby. I don't think they had as good as rodeo or demo derby as Preston and Cache Valley. But it was a blast!

We also had a Dutch Oven Contest that we entered into. We won second place and got a ton of prizes, around $100 worth! Not bad knowing we only paid around $10 for our one dutch oven dessert we entered in. Below are some pictures.

Oh wow what a view!





We found out through one of the newspapers that Families of those who were killed in the USU van accident had a special family day to see a special monument that was created for a memorial. We didn't hear about it so we immediately contacted the sculptor. He told us he would make a special meeting with us so Tiara could see the sculpture.











It was awesome to see! Tiara got to do her part in the scuplting. It was amazing to see it up close.












When it is finished it will be copper covered then temporarily displayed in the Taggart student center until the new Ag building is finished then it will permanently be in the foyer of that building.

Arena Cross

Tiara and I took our nephew Wyatt to the Ogden Arena Cross a couple weeks ago. He has been obsessed with my motorcycle since I took him for a ride last year camping. He always asks me when I am going to take him for a ride again on my "scooter".

The little dude on the blue bike is a 3 year old racer. He was the youngest and the whole crowd was cheering him on. This is what age my kids will be riding their dirt bikes!!!
