harvest time

I know that sounds like I live in the country, never mind that I have a Wal-mart seconds away from my front door. My point is.... our cherry tree actually produced a lot of cherries. In the past, the birds would devour the cherries before we realized they were ripe. This year it was a bit different, the birds still devoured them but there was plenty for the rest of us.

The kids and I spent our morning "harvesting". It was fun to climb around on the tree, especially when the birds would land inches away from you to eat the cherry you were picking.

Does anyone know what to do with lots of cherries?

Wheat Bread

Tye and I made wheat bread this morning. I hope you did something fun!

How to exit a golf cart

Last Friday, for part of our 4th of July celebrations we decided to go to Fairview. We did some motorcycle riding and then went to the little golf course. Since Miss P was in Cali. we let Mr C and Little T drive the golf carts.
As we are going along I look back and see Little T tumbling out of the golf cart and then the golf cart start rolling backwards. At this point, I am afraid for his little life but he jumps up, runs to the cart and applies the parking brake, like this is no big deal.
So I decide to start watching him to find out what is really going on. The next stop I witness the following......

Yes, you are seeing correctly. He would put the pedal to the medal, get going as fast as he could, then jump cart while still moving. Sometimes he would land the jump, other times he would not, as the following picture shows....
His dad didn't seem to be phased by the actions, kind of like this is what everybody does when exiting a golf cart. Oh well, he didn't get ran over this trip so I guess I won't be troubled by it either.

Party Girl

Miss P went on her first get-away this weekend. Mr T's side of the family is amazing. I could not ask for better in-laws. Aunt Melanie invited Paige to come to Cali for the weekend. We said YES, of course. All the planning worked out perfectly because Miss P flew out with her cousin Amy who is into her second year at BYU.

Just as a side note here, I love cousin Amy. If you need a date for your good looking single male friends you know who you can call!!! I mean really, just look at her hair.

Anyway, from all the texts and picture texts that I have rec'd, Paige is having a major party in California!

Thanks Aunt Melanie, you are the best!!

Lots of Hot Air

We woke up at 5 a.m. to check out the hot air balloons. I think this needs to be a 4th of July Prosser family tradition. I wonder how long my children will actually agree to this early morning tradition???

After the balloons, we made a pancake breakfast and enjoyed the nice sun on the back porch. After awhile, we decided to take off to Heber with our neighbors and do some motorcycle riding. When we left it was cloudy, I should have been prepared for the downpour of rain, but I wasn't. Being the "good" mom that I am I was totally UN-prepared. I didn't bring any jackets, let alone "rain" jackets. We were all soaked but laughing and having fun either way. It was a great day.

I like my hat.

I got another new hat. I like it, that's why I bought it. Mr. T says, it looks like I'm getting ready to deliver the mail. I hope he doesn't mind if he's married to the mail lady!!

Happy Birthday Jose!

Dear Jose,

I can't believe another year has come and gone. Ten years ago, I didn't think it was possible for life to go on but here it is, you would be 31 and life has gone on. Don't get me wrong, I have not forgotten you. You know I could write a letter a mile long and still not cover all the little details of what you mean to me. But I won't do that because we both know you already know those details. You make me laugh, you make me cry, you make me live my life so I can see you again someday. Here's to another birthday Elder Mackintosh!!!

Love your bossy sister,

Heidi
