Birthday at the Beach!

Yay! I'm finally 19! I had the perfect Birthday with the Scotts and my family at the Beach in Tahoe! It was a beautiful day at a beautiful beach with awesome friends!

The Scotts.

Venturing out to the buoy

My Dad takes amazing pictures.

Birdie. I think this was his war cry.

How adorable is this little guy?! Sister Scott didn't so though when he fell into her food bag, frantically tried to get out and away from us scary humans and finally pulled himself out, but in the process got a nibble of their rolls.

Pose!

The little Brothers Building Sand Castles

Belly flopping the waves!

Cool little thought by Paul Harvey

What's mainly wrong with society today is that too many Dirt Roads have been paved.
There's not a problem in America today, crime, drugs, education, divorce, delinquency that wouldn't be remedied, if we just had more Dirt Roads, because Dirt Roads give character.


People that live at the end of Dirt Roads learn early on that life is a bumpy ride.
That it can jar you right down to your teeth sometimes, but it's worth it, if at the end is home...a loving spouse, happy kids and a dog.


We wouldn't have near the trouble with our educational system if our kids got their exercise walking a Dirt Road with other kids, from whom they learn how to get along.
There was less crime in our streets before they were paved.


Criminals didn't walk two dusty miles to rob or rape, if they knew they'd be welcomed by 5 barking dogs and a double barrel shotgun.
And there were no drive by shootings.
Our values were better when our roads were worse!


People did not worship their cars more than their kids, and motorists were more courteous, they didn't tailgate by riding the bumper or the guy in front would choke you with dust & bust your windshield with rocks.
Dirt Roads taught patience.


Dirt Roads were environmentally friendly, you didn't hop in your car for a quart of milk you walked to the barn for your milk.
For your mail, you walked to the mail box.


What if it rained and the Dirt Road got washed out? That was the best part, then you stayed home and had some family time, roasted marshmallows and popped popcorn and pony rode on Daddy's shoulders and learned how to make prettier quilts than anybody.
At the end of Dirt Roads, you soon learned that bad words tasted like soap.


Most paved roads lead to trouble, Dirt Roads more likely lead to a fishing creek or a swimming hole.
At the end of a Dirt Road, the only time we even locked our car was in August, because if we didn't some neighbor would fill it with too much zucchini.


At the end of a Dirt Road, there was always extra springtime income, from when city dudes would get stuck, you'd have to hitch up a team and pull them out.
Usually you got a dollar...always you got a new friend...at the end of a Dirt Road!

So the most recent news in my life happens to be sad. I lost my ring that I got in Nauvoo on my Church History tour with my school and my phone was stolen!!! I guess it's not a good idea to leave your phone on top of the bags of dirt in the gardening section of Home Depot, cause apparently someone will take it and charge things on your account! I lost my ring like 2 days later while I was gardening with that same dirt stuff. I dont like bags of dirt anymore.
