Speaking of Toys...

Kevin hauled the Ducati up to Provo and found some interesting characters to ride on the back of his bike!

The FAVORITE Toy

The razor motorcyle is still pleasing grandkids old and young.

BEST purchase grandpa ever made!

Sunday Dinner

One of the best things about visits to Provo is Sunday dinner with family followed by a walk thru the neighboorhood! It is the perfect end to the Sabbath. I wish we were there every week!

Channeling CJane

Isn't the blog world amazing? Not only does it help us keep in touch with our families, but it is also possible to have blog friends who do not even know you. People that you know intimate and personal details about and yet these blog friends may not even know that you (or your blog) exist. For example, one of my favorite daily posters is CJane. She currently lives in Provo and was also raised there, but she must not have been a T-Bird because none of my siblings know of her or her 8 siblings. Which is unfortunate, because I would love some background information. Anyway, CJane is a wonderful writer and I blenvy her blog and her very entertaining friends and followers who leave her plenty of comments.

(Comments are the popularity contest of the blog world

and I am failing at that because I have few friends and even less Mormon friends

and since only Mormons seem to blog I do not get any comments.)

So while in Provo I kept my eyes open for CJane, but did not see her.

So I thought instead I would take the advice of CJane's friend Azucar and attempt to live

La Vida CJane

I took Wyatt, Chandler, and Shelby to the Provo Bakery:

We purchased sugar cookies at CJane's recommendation:
But I must say I was disappointed.

Maybe it was because it was later in the afternoon on Saturday and the cookies were a little old.

But I was expecting more (more frosting and softer cookies).

I guess that is the way it is with the blog world,

everything sounds better on someone's blog than it is in real life.

So Wyatt and I made a trip to one of my favorite Provo haunts, Will's Pit Stop, where I purchased a diet coke and some popcorn. And since I was no longer living la vida CJane, I forgot to take a picture of myself drinking said diet coke

(in the yellow Will's Pit Stop Classic Cup) and eating said popcorn.
Anyway, I think I will give the Provo Bakery one more try on my next trip because I've also heard recommendations from the former Cassie Peterson.

This week we are heading to Arizona for the Ironman and while there I am going to put on my rose colored glasses and try to channel Nie Nie.

I thought it was Spring???

Shelby woke me up at 7:30am to show me this:

I thought it was spring?

I guess Utah is a little behind the times!
