OK, look at this picture of this huge pile of crusher fine we bought and had delivered a little while ago. Take another close look. Ok, read on.

This past week, we had a major rain fall. Nothing too unusual for these parts. I had gone visiting teaching right as it was slowing down, or so I thought. Just as we were finishing up, it decided to just D.U.M.P again. Awesome. The worst part about it up until this point was that I had actually done my hair that day. I hate it when that happens. Not that I do any special style or anything, but come on...what a waste of time. It looked like I had just got out of the shower by the time I got back to my car, yes, my clothes were that wet too. Awesome. So, there was no way I was going to get out of my car in this rain all over again to go inside my house when I got home so I just decided to drive around and check out all the water all over the place. Something that STILL amazes me and I've lived here for two years now. So, I'm driving, driving, taking pictures, driving, and finally head toward my house. I'm on this main street leading up to the street I live on and I notice (don't ask me why) that the water is the same color as the crusher fine we had just had delivered a couple days before. That's random. So, I keep driving toward my house and turn on my street and the water coming down MY street is still this same color. Even more random.Nope, not so random. There is all is, MONEY washing away, down the street, and then down another street, and gone forever! This picture isn't so great, but that stuff was INCHES thick on the road and it was all down the street. Awesome. Gary tried to get as much as he could back and we had over 7 totally full wheel barrels full! Lovely.Here he is sweeping down the street on Saturday trying to get as much of that precious stuff as possible.
And here is Sammy. I take him to work with me and he is so good for 99% of the time. He just lays around and naps and plays and I feed him treats to keep him good and sometimes he even sits on my lap and helps me answer the phone or type on the computer. I'm pretty lucky that he gets to come with me. And I'm pretty lucky he lets me work! :) These little toeseys melt my heart.
Lately our morning runs have included a short stop at whatever park we run by for a quick swing and Sam just loves it.
And I love him...even more than he loves his little blanky.

Oh no, he's attached to a little blanky too? Just don't let him take it on his mission. It will probably be nasty by then

I can't believe that rain! Sam is such a cutie! He must be a really good baby for you to be able to take him to work with you. I went to Provo this last weekend and I had to drive by Nu Skin. Sometimes I miss working there!

2 things. What in the world is crusher fine? And which house is yours? The first white one or the second yellow one? I'm assuming it's the first one because Gary's truck is parked in the drive way. But hello, you have NEVER posted pictures of your house so it's hard to know. :) (hint hint, time for a few pictures of your house)

PS. Sam is so big. And CUTE!
