If All Else Fails played at a firework stand Friday night in front of Walmart in Layton. They got to play many of their favorite songs.
Austin and Matt play guitar and Sean is on bass.
Tyler sang lead on "Feeling This" For a kid who always swore he hated singing....he sure enjoyed it! It was a fun night and everyone seemed to enjoy the performance.
It quickly filled up the gutter, and even though it was flowing down the gutter, it wasn't fast enough because it started going over the curb and into my front yard. I tried not to panic...but I did find myself a city worker pretty quick. My house is known in the neighborhood for flooding. How sad is that? True....but sad. I was told that the water main blew when the new Catholic school across the street tested their water line. Little geysers of water came up through every crack or weak spot in the street and flowed over towards my yard. The city workers had already turned off two lines...but had not found the line that fed into this line yet....so it was still gushing. Finally, after 15 to 20 minutes of rushing water, they found the shut off valve and got it turned off
In the meantime, the water had washed so much dirt out from under the road- it started to buckle....so they had to close it off and dig it up. They were afraid it had created a couple of sink holes and worried that a car might go into it. So the road was dug up, the pipe was replaced and then all was covered back up. Now it is still a dirt patch in the street. Eventually the city will repave it.....but I am not holding my breath.
But my favorite part of the house was the stairs. I loved all the windows surrounding them. My dog, Saydie, loved to park herself on the stairs and look out the window.
I didn't really get a chance to take as many photos as I wanted to....I guess I will just have to go back. Lol
My baby turned 13 last month. How in the world did that happen? It seems it was not long ago I rocked him to sleep. Fortunately for me, he still loves to cuddle up and watch movies and always loves to give me a hug and a kiss as I tuck him into bed each night.
After we left the school, we decided to take a drive up to Causey Reservoir. It is one of her favorite places and we wanted to see how much water there was because we have had such a wet year. It was absolutely beautiful up there. This top picture was taken from the dam looking downriver.
We drove a little further up around the lake to look out point. From up there you could look up several fingers of the lake. The lake was completely full but just to the spill line..not quite enough water to tumble down the spillway.
It was an enjoyable day. Hope to get back up here with the family soon. 
After getting it all moved out onto the trailer to be hauled off to the recyclers, Walter pullled out the weed whacker and cut all the weeds down to ground level....then I followed with the tiller. 
What a difference. School gets out this week.....and then I plan on planting.
