SPOT

As everyone has heard, Logan will be rafting the Grand Canyon in November. That means there will be two weeks of absolutely zero possibility of communication.

Welcome SPOT!

We have looked at this a couple of times but with the pressure of November coming fast upon me, I made a purchase with my hard (and slowly) earned Malibu Money (the money I earn at Malibu Cleaners). I bought the device, but made Logan pay for the service plan.

This is a really cool device. It will send me text messages that tell me he's okay, or if he needs help, or if 911 has been called. These texts also tell me where he is. It also tracks him, sending GPS coordinates to Google Earth every 10 minutes (when tracking mode is on). That way I can see his progress on Google. I cannot communicate with him, but just knowing his hasn't drowned or frozen to death gives me so much peace of mind!!!

Look What I Made!

A while back I found an amazing tutorial for this bag. I waited till I got the courage and found the perfect fabrics. I ended up making it from dark denim and apple print. This is going to be my new practicum bag for when I go into elementary schools. I also am totally in love with the giant button. I don't know if I like where I put it though. This was a lot easier than I thought it would be and it kept me busy while the hubby was away:)

Rafting in Green River

We went camping with Ben and Brittney Laidlaw, Camille and Matt Campbell, Cash and Adam over near Green River to raft the last little bit of Grey Canyon on the Green River.

It was really fun! It rained and the water was chilly, but it was still fun.

The couples (except Logan and I) left Saturday night. The other four of us stayed and got rained on.

The next morning the road was really muddy and we almost slid off the road and into the river and died. I am being a little dramatic here, but it scared me a lot. Maybe that's because my window was the one that was on the edge. It took us forever to get the mud off Logan's tires enough to drive down the freeway. They must make a killing at the one over priced carwash in town.

Fun with Uncle Logan

Here are a few pictures from the weekend.

Logan with Brenner and Joren painting the trailer.

Logan reading to Legacy.

A couple of silly pictures of Legacy wearing some nerdy glasses:)

Logan is such a good uncle and all the kids just love him. Well, except for Terek, hence no pictures, but Terek doesn't like anybody;)

That's my niece!

FOR THE SPECTRUM DAILY NEWS
SALT LAKE CITY -

While many students take a break over the summer, several young women are gearing up for a unique competition.

Deaf and hard-of-hearing women from around Utah will compete in the Miss Deaf Utah Ambassadorship Program on Saturday at 6 p.m. at South Hills Middle School, 13508 S. 4000 West, Riverton.

Among the seven contestants is 19-year old Natisha Luke from St. George. Luke enjoys boating, wakeboarding, hiking, and camping with her family. She has completed phlebotomy school and is certified. This fall she plans to enroll in college to become a C.N.A. In the future she would like to work with young children as a teacher or pediatrician.

And guess what! SHE WON!

Where's Logan been all week?

He's chilling in Brian Head...literally...

...in his own Condo...

...working and enjoying the sights.

I drove up there last night and got to visit with him for a couple hours. It was nice to see him and I didn't know Brian Head was so beautiful!

MMM...Punch Bags

First one in a very long time...Gotta love 'em!
