What instrument do you resemble most?

The ward that Tyler and I attend is in the Woods Cross High School area. Most of the people in my ward either was a student in the band or is a parent of a band member. I love all the stories that they have told me about Dad and Mom. This one happens to be the latest thing stumbled upon. Kelli (who also happens to be in some of my classes for nursing) was a student of Dad. Her daughter happened to come across this.

A Quick Get Away

So earlier this week I really wanted to get out before school started again. I have been working a lot of over time and haven't had time to do anything else. I know, I know. You guys have been checking my blog every day, I'm sure, to see if I've posted anything. . I'm sorry to have let you down. :)

Sadly we didn't catch any fish. But I can honestly say for probably the first and only time in my married life that our hearts weren't into it. And when I say "our" I mean Tyler. Tyler just got into the Fablehaven books. He usually likes to take his time reading things, but this is the 3rd book and he started the series 6 days ago. I just got done with the Twilight series so I started on book one of Fablehaven. Take note that these events that I've taken into evidence with this picture will probably never happen again. There have been times when I have physically had to pry the fishing pole from his fingers.

We had the Benadryl and Prednisone ready just in case. But thankfully Misha came back with no bee stings. I had enough fun the last time that happened. I think that the last time has taught her not to go chasing after them. Although, in this picture I can almost see her having an internal argument about whether or not to go after them.
These bees were everywhere. The constant buzzing made it sound like we were in that movie with the killer bees chasing after everyone. The bees collect the pollen and keep them in sacks on their legs. They fly around with huge orange balls weighing them down. You could hear the lower buzzing from the ones that had to work harder to stay in the air. They looked extremely happy.

This picture does not do this justice. Misha does this thing where she digs around in the dirt to try to get it fluffed up. But after she fluffs she pushes the dirt back out so she can do that little circle thing to lay down. She has gotten it so bad sometime that her whole face is completely white. I think it's safe to say that she's a little spoiled. She won't lay down in that spot until every rock has been removed. Usually by the time she is done with it we are moving to the next spot.

1. No Swelling!

2. Being able to find the LAST camp site in Tony Grove.

3. Finally being able to have the day off.

So it's been an interesting weekend.

Misha has a history of allergic reactions. Tyler went for a day hike and this is how my dog came home. I took this picture two hours after we gave her the drugs. Just imagine her eyes looking like an old Asian monk. This isn't actually the worst she's had it either. I feel like we have a child sometimes when she gets sick. But I guess it's sort of a warm up for when we actually have some.
