Checking In!


Stella LOVES her books!
LaLa LOVES her Stella! Henrik and Jason

So so busy! Having fun with Henrik, my international man of mystery! The weather has been a little cool so we haven't been able to ride as much on the Harleys as we had hoped but maybe this weekend. All the kids were here tonight for dinner and I got a few pictures to update you. This weekend we are hoping to ride again but don't know where we are going yet.

Rocky came by my work again today and told me about several other Wheeler employees who now live in St George that have Harleys and are looking for a group to ride with. Dick Charles and John Hoonaker are both here in St. George now. Can you say "reunion"!!

Quick updates: My niece Karli is engaged, Cort is taking guitar lessons, Patrick and my friend Michelle are hitting it off so well that he's returning to St George from Maine in March to meet her, Yay!!!, and Stella is walking a few steps at a time now!!!

More later, hope your all well!
Love Ya!

The Sista's Take It To the Limit!

Heidi, Michelle, and Me getting ready at the salon

I have so much fun with these Sista's! As I've mentioned before, Michelle, Heidi and Lori are 3 of about 6 sisters and they've adopted me! They are stunningly beautiful ladies inside and out. Talk about head-turners! Together, we are a force to be reckoned with, HaHa!

I have been so excited for this concert. It has been a long, long time since I've been to a concert, and the last rock concert I went to was Def Leppard more than 15 years ago. I learned 3 things:

1) no longer does everyone hold up lighters above their heads, they hold up their lit cell phones!

2) camera's and video equipment is no longer a big deal because the bands love the fact they are put on YouTube, Facebook, or MySpace so the fact I ditched my camera in the truck before we went in really pissed me off!

3) Rock and roll lives on, even in St George Utah!

I have loved Hinders songs for awhile now, and I've been listening to Theory of a Deadman on Sirius radio and REALLY like them as well. Hinders album, Take It To The Limit is playing in my car 24-7! The opening band called The VeerUnion was even good! We did not sit down the entire time, burning off all of the food we ate at the Brazilian Restaurant, lol

The pre-concert extravaganza was mostly poor Heidi doing hair, makeup and waxing for Michelle and I. It was so fun, but she worked so hard. Michelle did Heidi's hair and did a fabulous job considering she's not a trained professional, LOL!

After the concert we went to Lori's house to burn copies of all of the CD's from all 3 bands and have some post-party adult beverages. When I left them at 2:00 a.m. they were still going strong!

So, the big event for this week is behind us and I now get to plan for the big event of next week...Henrik's arrival from Denmark.

Thanks everyone for being here and checking in on me. As you can see, I am living life to the fullest and loving every friggen minute of it. In a way, I feel like I am catching up on things I've missed, and I'm checking things off of the bucket list like a heat-seeking missile.

Love Ya!

Peek A Boo!




Friday night was ward Temple night for Jason and Tawni so I watched Stella. My friends Craig and May came over with Kaden so the kids could have some playtime together. When Jason and Tawni got done at the temple they came over and hung out for awhile. The kids were so cute together! May made her famous spring rolls and spring roll salad for us. She goes to great lengths to make it Gluten Free for me which is so nice! It was dee-lish as always!

The other highlight of my week was getting a new Harley Davidson jacket for our rides! Henrik will be here from Denmark next week and we have several rides we are planning. Rocky from Wheeler Machinery, Cortney, Henrik and I are doing a Valentine's Poker Run on Saturday the 14th so I needed a REAL riding jacket...what do you think?
I love it! I'm all set with my helmut, boots, gloves and now a hot new leather jacket, lol! Henrik will be here for about 5 weeks so we hope to go to Salt Lake (by car, not by HD...it's way to cold up North) and Moab, UT and/or Laughlin, NV one of the other weekends on the bike. Cort wants in on those rides as well. He enjoys having someone to ride with. Dave, Tawni's Dad is selling his HD :-( and was hoping Henrik would buy it because he is looking for an additional bike to add to his HD collection of 3 (2 in Denmark, 1 in my garage). Unfortunately, he is looking for a black Deuce, the same style as Cortney and Dave's isn't black. His Heritage is great for long distance trips but the Deuce is nice for shorter day trips...at least that's the explanation I get!

Tonight is the big Hinder / Theory of a Deadman concert so I have to go get my stuff to take to the salon for the pre-concert girls makeup/hair party at Heidi's salon! If you haven't heard of them and are listening to the music that plays on my blog, the first song is one of Theory of a Deadmans. Hinder is also on there...check it out!

Pictures/videos later!!

Love you all!
