Eleven years ago I married this great man.
We have been through a lot in the NINETEEN years we have know each other. I know, we are too young to have known each other for that long. I was sixteen. Oops, I just gave away my age. Which, I try not to ever do;0 We have been through great ups and very low downs. With these highs and lows has come a greater love and appreciation for this great man I call my HUSBAND. Here's to MANY more BABE!
Since we were there,
we enjoyed the County Fair experience ourselves.
WOW! I did not know perms were back!!!
And, all of Sam's shirts actually have the full sleeve {how do they rip them so perfectly}
After a few flash back moments to the 80's and the 90's we "cowboy'd up" and went to the
DEMOLITION DERBY
I did not know this sign was in back of us.
{what exactly is "custom" slaughtering???}
He really IS having a great time!
WE all actually, had a great time!
Grandma and Ash ended the night with a 40 second, 8 dollar, FERRIS WHEEL RIDE!


Are those.....FANGS???
Is that.....A vampire BODY???
{inhuman speed,14,000 calories a day...who does that?}
I'm just saying...
Does this explain all the world record breaking???

Today was our Bi-annual Bowers family party. We love getting together with our loved ones. My cousins from Idaho and Oregon were here. Grandma Jiggs came up from La Verkin. It was great to see them all. Ashlyn loved seeing her(second) cousins and getting to know them again.
Thanks to our good friend Lisa, Ashlyn and I were able to have a girls night out.We went to see High School Musical, the play at Capitol theater. We went to a favorite restaurant Tepanyaki, and had sushi and shrimp-YUM!!! Ash and I go there when we are sans Dad ( you know that little thing... Allergy to shell fish). We had such a good time. Ash loved the play. This was the final week for the Broadway performance ending in Utah, were the films were made...
This is her waiting for me to get in the car {hurry up MOM!!!}Pic while having dinner{notice the chopsticks above Ash's head}
Waiting for the show to start, with souvenirs in hand.
We had great seats- Thanks again Lisa!
Today we set our newest family member free...

Right after she hatched. Notice her tongue.
When Ashlyn released her, she walked right onto Ashlyn's finger then flew...

She is still "hanging" out around the yard.
