Random Acts of Craftiness

I'm stepping out into the blogging world by participating in Random Acts of Craftiness. I have read Erin's blog for almost a year. A few weeks ago I finally got over my shyness enough to comment (it was for a giveaway, but that's okay). About a week after my first comment Erin introduced Random Acts of Craftiness. Each month she'll give the participants a household object to use in a craft project. The catch is that we can't make anything we have seen before meaning no knock-offs. Usually I end up making a lot of things that I've seen elsewhere because I like them and it's easy. But no more! I'm going to be original. After making the original item all the participants will link up their projects on the last Wednesday of the month. I'm hoping it will result in making a lot of new bloggy friends. If you want to be part of Random Acts of Craftiness just click the "button" below and get in touch with Erin.

For my Grandparents

My grandparents, especially my grandpa, really like sunsets. The other day when the sky lit up I grabbed my camera and snapped these pictures for them. Enjoy.

Bees Baseball Game

On August 1st we enjoyed America's favorite past time. A good old baseball game. The Salt Lake Bees are a minor league team whose players can be called up to the Los Angeles Angels. The Bees were playing the New Orleans Zephyrs.

The Zephyrs were up to bat. Bees were in white.

Is baseball really still America's favorite past time? Maybe from times past. The ballpark was pretty empty.

That Zephyr hit the ball

My favorite part of the game was yelling at the umpires after they said a guy was out when he was safe. I think I yelled that he needed to get glasses. I also love singing Take Me Out To The Ballgame between the top and bottom of the 7th inning. There was a really funny kid who was selling roasted almonds. He kept yelling "get your almonds" and "guess how many in a bag." He really seemed to be enjoying his job.

The Bees finally hit the ball

In the end the Bees lost 7 runs to 3. It was still a really fun night. (And don't tell Morgan but I'm really jealous that she has a horse).
