Swimming!!

Casey, Mel, Jory, Me and Jaci

So over the weekend Jory and I kept busy working in our yard all day Saturday. We took a trip to Hansen' Greenhouse and bought flowers for our yard! Man I never knew how hard picking flowers out was! I didn't know which ones to get and what colors I liked, they were all so pretty! Well after an hour of walking around and telling Jory that every flower was pretty, we finally made our decisions! So off we went to plant. Well we did get one flower bed done and partially another, but we didn't buy enough so I am going to have to go back. But it looks good, I hope they live! Then on Sunday it was so HOT and we just wanted to get out. We decided to go up to Jory's dads house and swim. It felt so nice, I loved it! We swam all day, and don't worry that we didn't wear sunscreen so we are FRIED!!! It was a good weekend, to bad it is going to rain all this weekend!!:(

Rocky Mountain Raceway

So last night we went to Rocky Mountain Raceway with some of our friends. It was so much fun! Casey raced his new race truck it was pretty gnarly! Casey, Luke and Weston are opening their own Diesel Performance Shop, it's called SSS ( Sik Straight Six ). Well everyone came to check out Casey's truck before the race, he had his truck bed pulled out, everyone thought it was for speed or something but little did they know it was only because it was rusted. He won both of his races, he was running 13 seconds! Melanie rode with Casey in his truck, it was funny she had to wear a helmet in the truck! We had so much fun, I want to go again next time he races!

Grandma Colleen

Jory's great grandma Colleen passed away last week. She was such a wonderful person, she LOVED to talk, and talk, and talk! She has been alone for the last 4 years and missed her hubby so much! She got sick a few months ago and has been in and out of the hospital ever since. Needless to say she was VERY ready to go and be with grandpa Nord. She has been telling us all for the last year that she won't be with us much longer because grandpa Nord is coming to get her. It was very sad to see her go but very happy at the same time. She just missed him so much and we all know in our hearts that she is much happier now. We love and miss you grandma Colleen and grandpa Nord!

GIMPY

So I have to write about something so funny! Trav is going to kill me!! So last weekend T.J. and Onna got out her dirt bike and decided to teach Trav how to ride! I can not believe that he has never rode a dirt bike before! Anyways they get him on the bike and he does really well, doesn't have a problem. Well of course Onna who races dirt bikes pops a wheelie and so Grant ( that's what I call him cause he hates it, it's his middle name ) thinks that he needs to try one. Yea I am sure everyone knows where this is going but he biffs it hard!! He has road rash all over and he hurt his ankle. Well he gets up and walks it off like a tough guy, limpin around a bit. Well he goes all week limpin around and showing off his battle wounds from crashing into the ditch thinkin hes a tough dude. Well mom said if he doesn't stop limping by the end of the week she is taking him in to get a x-ray! Well dad called me last night really late letting me know that they were at the emergency room getting a hard cast put on T.J's leg! I could not believe it! He walked around for a week with a fractured fibula! They said it broke straight in half. I guess he's pretty tough, dad said he was pretty mad that he had to have a cast. That does suck! It is the first broken bone that my parents have had to deal with from their children. I have never broken a major bone that needs a cast and Trav hasn't until now! I guess they have been pretty lucky, or should I say Me and T have been pretty lucky!!!

Dress

SHOPPING!!

SO MY MA AND PA CAME DOWN FROM WYOMING SO THE GIRLS COULD GO WEDDING DRESS SHOPPING! MOM, ONNA AND JACI CAME ALONG TO GIVE ME A HAND. IT WAS A LOT OF FUN, ALTHOUGH I DID GET SICK OF IT AT THE END! I TRYED ON A TON OF DRESSES, BUT ALL ALONG I KNEW WHICH ONE, WAS THE ONE!!! I DID GET HUNG UP ON ANOTHER DRESS AND THEN I COULDN'T MAKE UP MY MIND. SO I ENDED UP COMPLETELY CHANGING THE FIT OF THE DRESS TO MAKE IT THE WAY I WANTED IT!! IT WAS A LONG DAY AND WE DID A TON OF CHANGES TO THE DRESS. BUT I AM SO EXCITED TO SEE IT! I GO BACK IN FOR MY SECOND FITTING IN THE END OF JUNE. I HOPE IT TURNS OUT JUST PERFECT! THANKS MOM FOR TAKING THE TIME TO COME DOWN AND HELP YOUR FAVORITE DAUGHTER!!! I LOVE YOU!

RESCUED

So I just finished this book a few months ago and it is so good! If you are a animal lover you have to read this! You can buy it from the ASPCA online and part of the purchase goes to helping animals in need! Pretty cool hu! It talks a bunch about Hurricane Katrina and the organizations that donated their time to help rescue all the animals. It is so neat to hear all the heart warming stories. It will inspire you for sure! I will add the link to the ASPCA book page if you are interested!

Update!!

So I thought that I would give you a quick update on VIPER. She is doing well, she has been healing slow because she is an old lady. But she is doing great! Her second biopsy came back clean so there was no malignant tissue left. Her tumor that she had removed off her foot came back as cancer, however we can not remove any more tissue. The type of tumor she has generally does not metastasize so hopefully it will not return! We love her so much and she loves her new fresh clean teeth! Thanks for all of your concerns, she loves you all for it!
