Ragnar Runners

This is a group of ragnar runners that visited our booth Friday night before their big run from Logan to Park City.  Yes, they did like the Fried Coke!!!

Fishing With Gramps

Nothing is better than being able to spend time with your Grandfather.  Canyon is so lucky to have a Grandpa that takes the time to spend quality time with him.  Grandpa loves to teach him things and just spending time to listen to him tell about his day and what is bothering him.  Right now with his Daddy in Bahrain, Gramps spends as much time as he can with him letting him have the male companionship that he is missing with his Dad..  They are so close and enjoys being with each other.

Logan Summerfest...(repost)

GOOD TIMES, GOOD FOOD!!!
We could not keep up with the hot dog orders, 790 to be exact were sold in the three days.  Took three of us just to keep up with the machine and orders.  What a wild ride!!!  At one point on Friday, I was in "charge" of the dog station and at the same moment ran out of dogs, chili, buns and cheese.  In desperation I yelled out "I could really use some help about now" and Wendy and Ta'Mera came running to my rescue.  It was so hectic trying to nuke dogs, chili and cheese to get back into serving again.  Next time we are taking two microwave ovens to keep up.  Saturday was better as we loaded the hotdog machine up with 100 dogs and kept it stocked all day. 

Can't wait till next year.

Turn That Thing.....

Turn that thing....

Or......

YOU WILL BE SEEN!!!!!!

Most embarrassing moment of Logan Summerfest is not locking the porta potty and having a MALE stranger opening the door and exposing me to the world.  Yes my pants were down around my knees, my garments flashing and I was sitting on the potty doing my things.

My Warrior....

My grandson, Richard Rasmussen, was just named Hickam Warrior of the week at the Pearl Harbor, Hickam Air Force Base in Hawaii.  Click here to read about him.
I am so proud of Rich and the young man he has become this last year.  He is truly a joy in my life and my love for him grows stronger each and every day. 
Way to go Rich!!!

MY BIG 60TH BDAY

Tonight we went to Texas Roadhouse for my birthday dinner and had the time of our lives.  It is so fun to go there and it really is my favorite place to eat.  I never tire of going there.  We took the cake that Dick bought and had a royal celebration.  When it was time for dessert, they brought out the saddle and wanted me to sit on it, but no way would that hold up this body so Canyon and Evan sat on it.  I was given an ice cream sunday, which was enjoyed by the two little ones.  Our waitress was the cutest little gal I have ever met and she made the time there so fun.

Today has been a wonderful day and I have gotten to talk with all the people that I love the very most.  There have been many well wishes on facebook that were appreciated so very much.  I have received some very wonderful gifts that I am so excited about.  Thanks to all that took the time out of your day to remember me.  That really made me feel special.

I am truly blessed and have the best family ever.  I come from a fantastic hereitage which has made me the person that I am. I love the person that I have become.  Hey I have been on this earth for 60 years and have had some amazing experiences and hope that here are many more birthdays for me. 

I AM A BLESSED WOMAN!!!!!

Derek

Well my son, your birthday was yesterday and since you decided to have another birthday in another country we did not get to talk with you and wish you happy birthday so I will have to do it on this blog. 

Here goes: 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR DEREK, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!! 

 I do miss you very much and can hardly wait for you to return to our land.  You are loved so very much and we are so proud of all the things that you have accomplished in life.  Thanks for all the joy that you have brought into our lives and the laughter that we have been able to share.   Thanks for giving us two beautiful grandchildren and yes we are really spoiling them terribly while you are gone.  If you thought they were bad before you left, think again, because they are worse.  That is what you get for leaving us in charge of taking care of you little tribe.  Remember that we love you always and that you are in our prayers constantly.

Hope that your birthday was good and we will celebrate when you get home.  Love you so very much.
