My new toy

Justin was given a gift card from his parents for his birthday. While I was still at the Conder reunion he went out and spent it on me! I couldn't believe it. I was mad at first that he didn't spend it on something he needed or wanted. Mind you this was a Sportsman's giftcard too, most men's dream. But he assured me that there was nothing he needed or wanted right now. Guess what he bought me? Yup, a Gun. He said he wanted to be able to do something he loved with me. I don't like guns, and I especially don't like killing things. But he made sure that this one was tiny and had no kick. It doesn't even hurt my ears when it goes off. A couple days after he bought it we drove up to west mountain and found a beautiful sunflower field just as the sun was setting. We brought some empty cartons to practice on. I must admit, I like the little gun. Now, I'm just waiting for my gun charm to arrive. Hey, I had to make it pretty somehow.....:)

Flying by!

It seems like there are so many things I wanted to do this summer and it's just flying past me. Where has it gone? Oh, right, I watched it pass through the office window (we've got to pay those bills I guess :S). We have had some fun though. Here are some of the few things that were actually documented.






1. Freedom Days

2. Hiking up AF Canyon (poor Autumn ran through the burs, she was so happy she didn't care that her ears stuck together like velcro).

3. Our work-in-progress patio. It should be pretty when it's done though!

4. Our Conder family reunion last Friday/Saturday. This place was beautiful, but it was run like a prison camp. If you look in that third picture down there is actually a lady up in the tower on shore with binoculars watching our every move...creepy. I think she was in love with her whistle. But those paddleboats were sure fun :D.



I'm hoping to get a few more trips and hours outside spent before it gets cold again. But, I absolutely love Fall, so I guess it's alright that it is the next season in line. I just hope it drags on a little before winter gets here :)
