My Estelle



Sweet Estelle Getty passed away today, 3 days before her birthday. She has been ill with dimentia for a long time, so it's for the best.

She will always live on as Sophia from the Golden Girls, one of my very favorite shows. She's the only one I didn't have an autograph from, darn.

I began loving Golden Girls when I was little, I would sleep over at Granny Kate's house on Saturdays and we'd watch it, and she would explain the sex jokes for me! Yep, my grandma taught me what a slut was! HA!

Rest in peace, dear Estelle. Maybe she's having a good chuckle with Granny right now.

More Father-Son Adventures


Yesterday Greg took Cannon to the Timpanogos Caves! What a fun adventure! Cannon said it was dark, and cold. And he said there was a lady there that just kept going, "Blah Blah Blah." (the tour guide) Geez! What a harsh critic! Just like his dad. Cannon's highlights were the pretty rocks every where and the chipmunks. Greg just likes planning activities and then crossing him off his list! Very task-oriented. I'm glad they have so much fun together!
I was happy to stay home and rest. I've been feeling less nauseated lately, which is great. I feel more like a human. We have our ultra sound in 2 weeks!

Misty Water Colored Memories.....

I saw this game on Melissa's blog. I thought it sounded fun! Here are the rules if you'd like to play along:

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!
2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments.Let the memories begin!

Heaven


Is anyone else into vintage ANYTHING like me? I inherited these OLD old records from Aunt Liz last week. These pictures melt me. I love it!! Look at the Santa's rosy cheeks! Am I weird?

Fire! Fire!


You can tell these boys have firemen in their family!! They were obsessed with the flames!!!
It was a big-boy year for Cannon. He got to help light some of the fire works! Nothing fancy, sparklers and smoke bombs. He was way into it, until he burned his finger on the sparkler. Ouch! After that he was more content to sit by Papa Gary (the original fire bug) and watch.

Daybreak Lake

One of the many adventures Greg takes his son on! I love seeing my husband as a Dad. Just when I thought I couldn't love him more. t
This lake is about 3 minutes away, so it's easy for them to strap the kayak on the car and go! They are gone for a good couple of hours, and Cannon doesn't get bored! There's lots to see. Greg will give guided tours if you want one!

I've Fallen and I Can't Get Up!!!

Literally. I was coming downstairs yesterday to see what Greg and Cannon were up to and gave them a show. I don't know what happened! I'm pretty sure it's because I filed my feet really good the night before and had no velcro on them to keep me stuck to the stairs. I slipped about half way and just KA-KLUNKED the rest of the way down. MAN!! I have a goose-egg on my butt! Like it needs any more lumps! I hurt so badly today! It's like whiplash all over! Duh. What a stupid thing to do! And Cannon keeps giving me a recap all day, like I don't remember what happened. I guess it was pretty exciting for him!
So they are off to kayak at Daybreak Lake and I'm going to take a bath and go to bed! Oy!

Have a great Fourth of July!!
