Broken Bones At the Bad Luck Ranch

LAST WEEK: Kade turned ten. His R2D2 cake is a winner, along with its owner. Although you can't see it, one week before his birthday, Kade broke his arm. Thanks to a little push from his brother unexpectedly off the tent trailer. Suffice it to say, the trampoline bounce party was scaled back to Chuck E Cheese with the gang, after the doctor said, "No way, Now how on the trampoline warehouse one.
His gifts do a good job of concealing the blue cast. How long will it take for him to change his mind about breaking both of his favorite brother's arms? You better watch out, Big Bro! Keeping it dry and free of foreign bodies is another story. E N T E R: JENNIFER WITH A BROKEN LEG THIS WEEK!!
Yes, you read it right. Jennifer broke her leg this week while driving her scooter to the shop for an oil change. It happened so quickly, as she turned to soon or overshot the entrance, she can still see it all in her mind. Road rash and a few crushed bones is the result.
But, Mom, who will fix our dinner, clean the house, do the laundry and so on? "I will", she says. Because mom's just keep doing the job the best they can, come rain or shine or broken bones. Now she has a scooter for her leg. It waits patiently beside her bed.
They are looking over the rainbow to better times next month, because the last three have been quite ugly.

Payson Temple Visit

We did it early. Ordered tickets to tour the Payson Temple, instead of waiting until the last week when the lines and traffic will be unbelievable. How beautiful the interior was. Leaded glass bowed windows not only adorn the exterior, but are used in many of the interior rooms. Intricately carved railings and molding make the structure, very unique. Sculpted carpet, ornate chandeliers and plush furniture are used generously in the Celestial Room. If you get a chance, it is still well worth the effort to take the hour drive south and tour this amazing building.

The Brashy Bride

She made a young and beautiful bride. With her brides maids making faces at the photographer and having fun. Now twenty years later, she hollers at umpires when they don't call strikes as she keeps their teams score, works full time, keeps her family happy and loves to go camping. She hasn't changed much and has changed a lot. Here's to your twenty year anniversary and many more.
