My dad and I went to the Hurricane car show last month. It's something he always likes to do every year. We finally decided to go at the last minute and just barely made it in time to see a few cars before they started to roll out. There were some classics!
I loved this cars stainless steel finish, it was amazing!
So Vintage!
Sometimes I get the coolest pictures of my nephews! I just wish I could see them more often! I would love to hang out with these little guys and get to know them better! How cute is Jake? I can't wait to play with them a little bit this summer!
These pictures were taken in May. I seriously was so bugged it was still snowing and bad weather! Just amazed that summer can be so harsh sometimes! This is a scene in May that I would expect in Alaska, or the north pole or something....not Utah!
So Brandt and I took his dog Callie to the dog park in Millcreek a few weeks ago! She LOVES her walks and especially when we have to go in the car to get to someplace special. She loves the dog park in Millcreek! We wore her out! She was exhausted when we got in the car to go home! She passed out in the back seat and pretty much slept the whole way home! It was so cute!
Mia hates having her picture taken! It's the funniest thing! As soon as the pictures start snapping, she runs to her crate in the back room! I don't know if it's the sound of the shutter in the camera that bugs her or if it's just being weirded out that we're holding something out towards her...she sketches and I think it's so funny!
We took care of Ryan and Michelles dogs (Girdy & Daisy) for a week while they spent time in Salt Lake for Davids graduation. They are fun little girls! They really love each other! It's so cute!
They got along well with Mia, but she's so tiny compared to them, and Daisy is definitely the Alpha-Female with Mia, sometimes they push her around a little too much. She couldn't play with her toys without Girdy and Daisy both bulldozing her to not let her play. Other than that, they had a good time together. I think after a week, Mia and Girdy started to really get along and play cute! Girdy wanted to play tug-a-war with Mia and she would actually let Mia win sometimes...so funny!
Daisy is definitely the Alpha-Female, but so full of love! She's very protective!
Girdy is one of the most sensitive souls I've ever known. You can't look at her wrong without hurting her feelings. Even when one of the other dogs got in trouble for something, Girdy would feel so hurt, she needed loves better in order to go on. She's so loving also! They're both really good dogs!
Daisy LOVED the water! Everytime we'd pull out the hose to water the plants or pool, she went nuts! So funny!!! Girdy and Mia would run to the other side of the house with their tails between their legs! haha!
We celebrated my dads 54th birthday on June 23rd! We spent the day out in the yard pulling weeds and trying to fix the pool.... he went to Lowe's and bought plants and came back and planted them. It was hot and almost miserable! Definitely opposite than the year we spent his 50th birthday at Disneyland! Maybe next year we can make up for this year! But it was good...we went to his favorite hamburger place, Marv's, that night and then topped it off with seeing the Green Lantern in 3D! It was fun! This was his birthday ice cream cake! It was yummy! :)
Brandt and I took a drive up in Bountiful called Skyline Drive or something like that. Supposed to be a really cool 4x4 trail for Cruisers and stuff. It was really beautiful!!! We were a little disappointed though because the trails we wanted to go up were totally "CLOSED FOR THE WINTER" because there were still large snow drifts crossing the trails that hadn't melted yet. JEEZ LOUIZE!!!!! End of June and we're talking about it still being WINTER?? Seriously????
The views were amazing!
Brandt loved getting his cruiser dirty! So proud!!!!
We found this dirt bowl spot that was kinda clear for 4 wheelers to ride around a little bit... There were a bunch trying to make their way up this super steep trail. A few made it up about half way but then realized it would be tougher than they thought to get down. We just sat and watched, wondering what would happen. We could see some people really struggling! A couple guys made it down ok, but we saw that the ones that tried to fight the gravity were the ones that had problems, and the guys that went with it without too much resistance made it down ok. This one guy we could see was really fighting the hill hard, his 4-wheeler started to get sideways a little bit and suddenly started to tip. It rolled over him, broke the back seat off and started rolling down the hill faster and faster...it was sad to see that big machine getting obliterated by this hill. It landed right side up and was still in throttle... it was still going slowly, someone started to head over to it to grab it to stop it, but it started to speed up and then went out of control....the guy running after it couldn't catch it and then it changed directions heading directly towards us, and Brandts Cruiser...I started screaming "BRANDT MOVE YOUR CAR RIGHT NOW!!!!!" and everything was happening too quickly - I thought his cruiser was toast! Instead of turning the car on and throwing it into gear and moving, he jumped out and ran towards the run-away 4-wheeler to try to stop it... This didn't look good! Someone or something was going to get hurt! Suddenly the 4-wheeler hit a little crack in the dirt and it stopped it fast...I just heard a big crunch of metal. Luckily that stopped it! I was glad no one got hurt! Poor guy that got ran over and obliterated his 4-wheeler! That's a lot of money down the drain! Oh well...the cost of some hobbies!
Fun times!!
