Onomatopoeia

Jeni's comment about chocolate cake on my last post made me think of this word. It's definition is "a word or a grouping of words that imitates the sound it is describing (like click, pow, zoom)."

Anyways, I think it is a really fun word to say and possibly my favorite if I had to choose one word in the catagory of FUN TO SAY.

My question to you is what is your favorite word or words to say AND what do you think is the most POWERFUL word in the English Language?

Wordless Weekend

Happy 24th of July Crabfest!

Tiff and I were talking Thursday morning about how neither of us had plans for the holiday and Tiffany quickly organized us a little party. Add the Auger Family and Viola - good food and good fun.

Thank you Chris and Tiffany for some East Coast Hospitality right here in good ol' South Weber!

And to make it even better Tiff made Coconut Shrimp that was amazing. You didn't even know there was coconut on them.
And thank you Ralph for Homemade Rootbeer. Boy, that brought back some memories!

The kids were totally entertained by the village of cats that live at the Jones'.

P.S. I'm craving some crab right now.

Congrats Mayor Petersen!

I'm a little slow on the take because of my catch up phase but I want to congratulate my brother for being appointed the new mayor of South Weber City. He is so excited and loving every minute of it so far - they put him right to work. He will be a good mayor, the kind that wants to serve the citizens, plus he has deep roots for this growing little town.

Catching Up - Blogfest

Okay - I am almost caught up with the summer and my blogging!! We've been so busy enjoying the holiday that I haven't had time to record it. The next 7 posts are me, catching up (with a little side step on Jane Austin).

Tim and I have set a goal to do more physical activities as a family. Maybe the rest of us can benefit from Tim's abilities and endurance. We began our new venture by taking the fam on a hike up waterfall canyon. OH MY WORD! You'd think we asked the kids to hike the sahara, straight up, with no water! It was hot (2:00 pm) I will give them that, but the attitudes were rough from the beginning. We only made it to the first bridge and then we took the long way back and stopped by the pool with the natural spring. Elle was the best sport and she made it all on her own; no one carried her. As for the other two . . .We definitely need to get this family in shape.

Summer Week 7 - Emi's Spa Birthday Party

Thanks to the many who helped, we were able to pull this "high maintenance" party off: Jan, Mary, Kandace, Taylor & Keni! According to our cute, little guests, it was worth it.

Facials with photo shoot, pedicures, made homemade lipgloss and bracelets, finished off with eye kandy and smoothies. When waiting their turn, the girls would sip waters and look through preteen magazines. The girls were so much fun!
