My Big Bro In A Perfect Nutshell

Idaho Petroleum Marketers Golf Tourney In Buhl, Idaho

First, yes Matt's foursome won this tournament. No surprise. 

Second, I had a great time golfing with the ladies this tourney...and my driver treated me very well this day! It was a needed break for me! 

I Have Grass...

And thanks to a sprinkler system (and my personal lawn care boy, Matty), it is green! Oh and shrubs and trees...I've even picked a few weeds. 

New Hair...I Still Miss Gustavo Just FYI

With work being so crazy I went almost seven months without getting my hair cut...that is three too long! I am looking forward to hopefully having Gustavo work his magic come November(ish). 

My Cute, Albeit Crazy Shadows

 A good fairy planted these daisies for me one Saturday while I was at the office. They were very pretty...for about three weeks before my black thumb killed them...and they are still sitting on my porch, dead. I still think daisies are the friendliest flowers.

Meeting The Newest Carlstons...And Maybe The Cutest

It took having botox injections in Utah to finally meet these two lovely ladies...and it was worth the pain. :) They are so precious, they have two amazing big brothers that will keep them on their toes and will be their protectors forever, and two parents that love them so much. I sure love and miss my Carlstons. 

PS: If you ever want to meet a real-life supermom, I'll be happy to introduce you to Julie. 

Fourth Of July In The Valley

We spent the fourth in traditional Valley fashion. The parade in Victor that morning (the girls came off with a haul of candy), chaos and hoards of people in the park afterward, a little napping and work in the afternoon, steaks on the grill, and the night ending with Dadio being a pyromaniac with his fireworks.  

Finally Blogging Again...

After months and months we finally went "live" with our new software system at Berry Oil. We are still pushing through and working on adjusting to the new environment. It will be a long haul (I'll expect that we won't be fully implemented and comfortable until six months in). Needless to say, we are still burning both ends of the candles. I'm hoping that I'll come above water a little more often starting in the next few weeks. 

Huntsman Springs Freedom Celebration

Mattie Faye hangs by a thread but is still all smiles! 

 I've heard about the fireworks at Huntsman Springs for years now. I'll admit it did meet all the hype! Even though I didn't feel well physically I was very impressed. 

Happy early 4th of July!      

It was a little chilly: the Californian in me just had to bundle up. 

 Brown Eyes found Snow White in the crowd.

Summer Fun

 I miss Indochine...but this yellow curry was pretty good.

My "single scoop waffle cone" from Reed's Dairy...so delicious, I gained probably 5 lbs but it was totally worth every calorie. 

And Mr. Mopper himself...
