a visit from family & flu

We really enjoyed our time with e and dall ... It was a short visit but I value anytime I can have with family !! Neal & Mary squeezed away from their busy schedules to hang with us too.. A temple visit, dinner @ setebello's and music catch phrase oh boy !

unfortunetly.... I got hit by a huge flu bug the week e & dall visited and my sweet hubby caught it too... here is my hunk a man taking a sick blow !! but once we saw a light at the end of our mucus tunnel we hit up a lil cosignment shop where i found a pair of citizens of humanity jeans for $40 bucks and matthew models his new tops ...below... looking and feeling alot better

Cake Auction

We went to the annual Mckay and Waterloo Ward cake auction.... and we ended up leaving with cup cakes and a mini cake made in an easy bake oven by a six yr old..
They were so adorable !

Matthew with his young men ...

Tim and Jen joined in on the fun... and Matthew made two desserts his awesome Philly cheese cake with fresh strawberries and his peach cobbler... mmmm !!

Lets start the bid @ $20.00 ...

Matthew was the auctionier at our scouts fundraiser..

It was a hoot !!

seriously cakes were being bought for $80 to $100 it was crazy fun ...

Sunday Adventure

On this lovely warm sunday we of course went and saw the hippies ... who were having there usual drum circle ...and we took lizzy to a couple new dog park s we hadn't been to yet ... one was horribly muddy so we ditched that one .. then headed to one thats just east of the capitol buliding.

THATS WHERE it all starts...

The park was lovely with a huge stream running through it ... Lizzy loved that !! On our walk we saw a lot of things. Some things i chose to not post cuz they weren't relevant to the story...

The oddest thing we encountered was what looked like a persons lil hide out .... complete with 2 or 3 pairs of jeans .. toothpaste and a brush ..2 note books with poems and drawings... some of the writings were a lil eerie... a bag of tobacco and a utility knife! ( a lil weird huh )

So my sweet husband calls... 911 !!

oh yes 911

we assured them it wasn't an emergency and just maybe thought that it was a missing persons belongings or something ???

We met up with these nice officers... and showed them where we had found these belongings... it was like freakin CSI or something... they got all gloved up and looked through the things to find any info on whose it may be ...it looked like the clothes had been there for awhile... yet the notebook indicated there was writing in it about a month ago?? crazy... so they just bagged it all up and said it looked like a transient woman maybe whose name is Roberta...

They thanked us and we were on our way ... i will admit it was really fun !!

Oh and how cool was this bird... this lil guy just let me step right up to him and take a picture of em !!

These pictures where right before we found the loot ...
it was such a nice park considering that it is full of off leash dogs

We entered the park on a road up above the park and walked down... that gave us this amazing view of the capitol building
