"Slumber Party"

Rachel and I are having a "Slumber Party" on Thursday Sept. 3 at 6:30. At Rachel's house. If you want to come and don't know where she lives call me and I will give you the address.

~If you haven't ever been to a "Slumber Party" it is really not a sleepover. But come check it out! It's lots of fun!

Mom of a 13 year old!

This is my 13 year old sister Madi ( who would probably kill me if she knew I put this pic on here!). In the past week I have spent a lot of time with her. I took her to register for school and also took her school shopping. We have had a lot of fun hanging out together. But let me tell you one thing that is not that fun....two people (that voiced it) thought I was her MOTHER!!! Pretty sure I was 10 when she was born but whatever!

Fair Days 2009

I have to say that as soon as Fair Days ends that means summer is over. We had a lot of fun this summer. We went to Jackson Hole, built a derby car, crashed a derby car, played softball, and had fun at 7 peaks!

We wanted to have my derby car done by July 24 because it is Cameron's birthday. So we went out to start my car so I could practice driving it before the derby. But it wouldn't start and wouldn't start! We figured out that the carburetor was bad. So we got another one and it wouldn't work either! So by this point I was thinking that I wasn't gonna be able to drive. But we finally got another one that worked. We went over to a field in Midway to let me practice. Well Cameron thought that he needed to take it for a spin and ended up braking my back axle! Not many can say they broke and axle BEFORE the derby! I drove the next night in the actual derby. It was fun, but I don't think I ever need to do it again. Especially since I was sore for a week! But at least I can say I have done it! Needless to say my awesome brother-in-law won the derby! He is an awesome driver!

We spent the next week at the Heber Fair Days, watching my sisters show their lambs, playing at the carnival, and watching the parade. I am so sad to see summer go, but super excited for the next chapter of our lives to start....sending Lexi to pre school! I can't believe she is already old enough!


This is my beautiful derby car AFTER the derby. The rear fender got pretty damaged!

Lexi thought she needed to try on my helmet and get ready for the derby!

This is for my Husband

I just need to take a minute and say what a wonderful husband I have...
All I have to do is say something I want to do or get and he remembers and tries to make it happen. Like when I very casually mentioned that it would be fun to derby with my sister. And not a week later, he had bought me a derby car. And not only that he has spent every free minute this summer building it for me. Spending hours and hours and not getting home some nights until after midnight. And he spent his whole birthday working on my car. I can't even express how blessed I am to have a husband who is so in tune with my feelings an needs. He is such a good dad to my girls and I couldn't ask for a better husband. How many husbands actually help with laundry, and stay home 3 nights a week with the kids. He always makes sure that the girls and I are happy and taken care of.

So Cameron...Thanks so much for always thinking of me and taking good care of us. I love you so much and appreciate all you do!

Lexi's 1st Concert!

So... Lexi was invited to her first concert on the 4th. My 16 year old sister invited her to go with her to the Stadium of Fire and to see the Jonas Brothers! She was super excited and said " Mom, Meagan chose me instead of one of her friends." It really made her happy. When I was explaining to her what the Jo Bros would be doing she looked a little perplexed, she said " Now mom, it's the Jonas Brothers on TV right?" and said yes. Then she got this funny little look on her face and said " Well. are they Human?" I almost died laughing. Apparently because they are on TV they must be fake! It was quite hilarious. She had a complete ball, and actually has pretty much slept all day today because she didn't get home til 1:00 am.

Bachelorette Party, Transformers, and Derby Cars

Well...we haven't been doing much lately. Just hanging out at 7 Peaks, working on the Derby car, playing softball, and working. So I guess we have been doing a lot! Luckily coed softball is over, so I am done, but Cameron still plays on Mondays. The derby car is coming a long slowly, and is now parked on my brand new patio! And many of you know how OCD I am, and can probably guess that is totally driving me INSANE!!!

Jenn's bachelorette party was on Friday night. And I debated for days whether to go or not. I decided to go and it was so much fun!! I had a blast. I was the only one not drinking so I was the driver, but I didn't mind because we had so much fun at Harry O's dancing!

So Transformers was AWESOME!!! I can't even say how much I love Shia. He is so awesome. I never would've even watched Transformers because I am totally not into those kind of movies, but I did because he is in it, and now I love it! I seriously love him!

I am so excited for a lot of movies coming out soon....

~ Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
~ The Time Traveler's Wife
~ GI Joe ( only because Tatum Channing is in it) and of coarse
~ New Moon!!!

Redneck Woman!!

So as a lot of you have now heard...I am going to drive in the Heber derby! Some are a little concerned that I may have a slight panic attack. Seeing as how I have them when on leisurely Jeep rides with the Epps'! But I am way excited! This is my beautiful car. It is an 86 New Yorker. It is actually kinda cute, it even has a sun roof, which we will be covering in case I get flipped on my top! At this point we are stripping it. Apparently that means you have to take everything out. Everything really meaning everything...like seats, dash board, lights, windows, etc. It is actually kind of fun, I worked on cutting all the wires the other night. I am kind of debating what color to paint it. Obviously pink is totally the way I want to go...but then I might look to girly and people will go after me. So now I am thinking like bright purple with silver flames! You have to have the flames, or it wouldn't be redneck enough!




So this is the car from the front...those red things are the horns. Apparently that's what they look like underneath! Just looks like a souped up bike horn to me.




This is me in my "work on the derby car" clothes, working on the derby car.




And this is my face after working on the car. I was so proud to be able to show that I actually worked, and I actually got dirty.
