me vrs kitchen aid!

Winner- Kitchen Aid!!!
Thought I would share one of those "i'm an idiot" moments with you!! Okay so I decided today that I would try for the first time to make french bread to take to a lady I visit teach. In the process of adding the flour some got caught on the side of the bowl and I decided since I had done it many times before that I would quickly push it down with my hand while the kneader was going. Well my hand got well run over and carried away with the kneader. I had to go to instacare to have it x-rayed I thought for sure it was broken but it's not, I might have fractured it, those can show up later sometimes, but I am doing a little better now. It is wrapped and I get to ice it for a few days and take ibprofen for the swelling and pain. What can I say!! Except "I am an idiot"! Lesson to be learned - dont put your hand where it does not belong! Just turn the darn thing off or use a spoon!!!

Kids Pond

On Aug 8th we decided to head up Cedar Mountain to "Kids' Pond" it is this great fishing pond for kids under 12. We didn't catch anything while we were there though the fish are too trained. The water was so clear you could watch the fish come right up to your line and turn away, it got pretty frustrating to watch. The view was beautiful. I would highly recommend it to anyone up that way. Here are a few picts of the day:

I don't know about you...does something seem off with these two pictures? (Who is supposed to be fishing and who is supposed to be chilling?)



It doesn't get much better than that!- a pop, a pizza and a pole:

24th of July

Okay so I am trying to get caught up on my blogging and what has been going on the past few weeks. So this blog is about the weekend of the 24th. We traveled up to Monroe where they have lots of fun stuff to do. On the 23rd we went and checked out the 3 on 3 basketball for a little bit (it goes on all night) and then I played cards until like 3 in the morning with my cousins (Wayne and the kids crashed- it had been a long day- but I can't pass up cards!). The 24th we had the parade and park events in the morning then we played some more cards, volleyball, and attended a broadway review that some of my cousins sang in, one in particular Garrett Johnson was AMAZING... watch out broadway here he comes! Later that evening we played water balloon volleyball had dinner and a water fight, celebrated Skylee's Birthday, fireworks at grandma's before the big firworks and then firworks after at uncle Tracy's house. On Saturday the 25th we went up to Fish Lake. We have wanted to go there since we were married and thought this was a perfect opportunity. It is so pretty there and peaceful too. I would love to spend a whole weekend up there just taking pictures. We hung out the rest of that day with family and then headed home. It was a great time with the Johnson Family, cant wait till we do it again!

Parade, Park Events, and Skylee's B-day:

Picture of Taylor's Forehead

Read blog below for explination, he also has a bruise on his left cheek he got while he was being babysat- I don't know what it is from. He looks pretty beat up though huh!?

Taylor???!!!

Okay, I need some thoughts on this... Taylor has been beating his head on the ground everytime he gets mad or doesn't get what he wants. He has a huge bruise on his head, well his whole forehead looks like a big bruise and I don't know what to do to stop him. I talk to him about how that hurts and not to do it, but then he just does it again. People are seriously going to think I beat him! I will have to post a picture tomorrow. I am just fed up with him acting this way and not sure how to get him past it. If you have any ideas let me know!!
