Pioneer Day! at 12:00 AM Its pioneer day and my very first one at that. I have to admit i have no idea what pioneer day was until about a week ago. I assumed it was part of the whole pioneer days created to attract visitors to Ogden, however i had no idea it was an ACTUAL holiday. Pioneer day commemorates the entry of Brigham Young and the first group of Mormon pioneers into the Salt Lake Valley on July 24, 1847. Given that i am not Mormon i really have no reason to celebrate this day but heck any reason to have a parade and fireworks and rodeos and so much more and i am all for it. Unfortunately i Will have to miss out on the pioneer day parade though but on the upside i will be at the office of Jim Ellis my favorite Ogden dentist. I have an appointment for x-rays and such to see just what is happening inside my mouth; Its a war in there. Jim Ellis was nice enough to help me out when i needed a dentist and give me a fabulous rate on wisdom teeth removal. He has some informative and sometimes funny tweets about dentistry you should definitely check out. I hope everyone has a splendid day enjoying the festivities! Be safe , have fun and most of all LOVE Ogden because we do live in one of the best cities in America! Oh yeah!

Monday:recaps, movies, art and whoopie at 9:09 AMFriday i attended a cheese making class at the union station fermentation which was awesome! We learned how to make mozzarella and ricotta from home ( it is quick and easy!) and we got to try and take home a ton of beehive cheese and local sheep cheese. For only $20 bucks this class is definitely worth it and i am so excited to say that i will be teaching a kombucha class soon so stay tuned! You can also purchase a hard or soft cheese kit for only $25 bucks or so that includes EVERYTHING you need (except milk) for 30 batches of cheese. Saturday hunter and i biked over to oasis community garden for the rummage sale and pancake breakfast hosted by the junior league of Ogden. Hunter made a new friend and we heard some great tunes too. After, we biked downtown for the wild west shoot out, train rides, horse rides, stage coach rides, farmers market, petting zoo and more. I got old fashioned popping corn (that you have to take off the cob first) from Roberts family farms which was amazing! I also got some basil and pink lemonade and hunter donated her $1 allowance to big brother/big sister of Utah. For sweet treats we got one of vintage cupcakes "pink ladies" and a scoop of ice cream from Trudy's poppin' johnny ice cream. After all the fun i was exhausted but i still had to go home and shower before baking some Mac n cheese with squash and peppers and 6 different cheeses for a friends 30th birthday. It was nice to relax after a busy day but i wasn't done yet! Midway between the party i got to duck out and attend the whoopie girl art unveiling at the imagine ballet theater. Seeing the rodeo queens and all the girls dressed at whoopie girls was fantastic, i love costumes. We enjoyed dinner and great conversation and they even had little cake pops that looked like cowgirl hats. After the meal imagine ballet dancers entertained us with a beautiful and fun ballet tribute to the whoopie girl. On my way back to the party i got caught in a thunderstorm but it felt nice to not be hot and sweaty. I got to hang out some more and watch my daughter chase peoples dogs around and eat cake. Finally the night was over and i slept like i h ave never slept before. I hope everyone else had a great weekend too and if you didn't well, there's always next weekend.Until then get out there and make today the best day you can!All day Visual Art: Exhibit: 37th Statewide Competition and works by Theresa Paolini - Eccles Community Art Center, 2580 Jefferson Avenue, Ogden, Utah 84401 All day Steve Stones Art Exhibit - Grounds For Coffee, 3005 Harrison Blvd., Ogden, Utah 8:30am – 3:30pm Creepy Crawly Critters - Ogden Nature Center, 966 W. 12th Street, Ogden, UT 84404 8:30am – 3:30pm Wild Things - Ogden Nature Center, 966 W. 12th Street, Ogden, UT 84404 9:00am – 12:00pm Mad Science Camp: Crazy Chemworks - Eccles Community Art Center, 2580 Jefferson Avenue, Ogden, Utah 84401 9:00am – 12:00pm Visual Arts: Crafts for Girls Only! with Jean Hampton - Eccles Community Art Center, 2580 Jefferson Avenue, Ogden, Utah 84401 4:00pm – 5:00pm Performing Arts: Beginning Drums with Deja Mitchell - Eccles Community Art Center, 2580 Jefferson Avenue, Ogden, Utah 84401 5:15pm – 6:00pm Health & Happiness: Restorative Yoga with Jill Sjoblom - Eccles Community Art Center, 2580 Jefferson Avenue, Ogden, Utah 84401 5:30pm – 6:30pm Performing Arts: African Dance with Deja Mitchell - Eccles Community Art Center, 2580 Jefferson Avenue, Ogden, Utah 84401 7:00pm – 9:00pm Movie: Finding Nemo (G) - North Branch Library, 475 E. 2600 N., Ogden, UT 84414 7:00pm – 10:00pm Pioneer Day's movie- True Grit (1969) - Ogden Amphitheater, 343 25th st., Ogden, Utah 84401 Labels: art events in ogden, beehive cheese, cheese class, free events in ogden, ogden shootout photos, ogden utah events, ogden utah family fun, pioneer days ogden, summer calendar ogden, wild west ogden xoxo, explore, create and have fun ‹Older Wednesday, July 6, 2011

Monday : recaps, mountains and garden parties at 10:08 AM OH what a wonderful weekend! I went to the Ogden music festival, met some Ogden rad mamas and got surprise visit from my in-laws. I am sunburned, stuffed full of good food and my feet feel like i ran a marathon...yeah life is good and it finally feels like SUMMER! The Ogden music festival changed locations and was held in North Fork, UT instead. The views were amazing and the music was beautiful. I was a volunteer at the kids booth which was fun and at time complete chaos. I suppose it meant the kids were having fun if at the end of the day the booth looked like a Technicolor war zone, right?  I wish i could have stayed longer but i had to get back home to get some work done. Saturday was a day of rest and hospital visits when my daughter got a deep cut inside her nose (long story) and needed to get some liquid stitches. Luckily, it was nothing a lollipop couldn't fix. Sunday was a sweltering 84 degrees out and the girl child and i went off to Lions club park for some Ogden Rad Mamas fun. The poor kids were all too hot to play and huddled at the bottom of the twisty slide in the only patch of shade. We somehow managed to get them all to play for a whole 2 hours before they started to look like they were melting. A perfect end to a perfect weekend can not be had without a dinner at roosters. My in-laws have never been to Ogden, UT and we wanted to take them to our favorite place for dinner, of course they loved it too. After getting home the food ITIS kicked in and i passed out for the night. Now it's Monday...back to work but that doesn't mean back to boring. The sun isn't going anywhere and there is plenty to do here in beautiful Ogden, Utah! tonight check out GROW'S garden party: Join us for some fun, feasting and great socializing for women and men at our June Garden Party.
