After weeks of waiting around for Joe to find time to trim the bushes in our yard, yesterday I couldn't stand it anymore and I ventured into the males' sacred territory (the garage) to find the clippers. I had no luck finding them in his piles of tools but did stumble upon an electric hedger. I'm talking a hedger with blades longer than my arms. Hmmm...did I dare? I immediately had visions of the powerful engine being too strong for my X chromosomes and accidentally slicing off one of my limbs. But one glance back at the Texas Rangers creeping over into my neighbors yard had me reaching for an extension cord.
Needless to say, an hour later all my limbs were still attached, my bushes were groomed and my Christmas wish list this year may actually be coming from the pages of the Home Depot ads.

Farewell Summer
Where did the summer go?
I'm not sure, but to sum it up... HOT, BUSY and WONDERFUL! Here's a few highlights:
- A week camping on the beach
- Sea world
- San Diego Zoo
- Backpacking Griffiths peak
- A week at Girls Camp
- Camping trip at Jacobs Lake
- 4th of July in Kanab
- Havasupai
- Train ride through Grand Canyon
- Birthday visit from Aubrie, seeing O
- Rock Climbing at Mt. Charleston
- Witnessing the incredible birth of Ridge Lincoln - I was able to be there to see my amazing sister-in-law have Ridge while my brother, who is deployed to Iraq and couldn't come home for the birth, watched via Skype. Awesome
- Girls Dance Recitals
- Tea parties
- Lots of hot afternoons playing games of Mario Bro's on Wii
and finally, much to my dismay, back to school. Zoey started 2nd and Olivia is a big Kindergartener.
