birdies

It is now the end of July. I am sitting in the Denver airport. We missed our connecting flight to Salt Lake which was at 5:30 PM and then they overbooked the 6:50 flight so our flight is the 9:47 flight and we just found out that it has been delayed. I am sitting here people watching and I know that there must be a lesson to learn from all of this.
Brian and I had a fun Anniversary/Birthday trip to Steamboat Springs. Our favorites... tubing down the river, hiking to the top of the gondola and then riding it down, racing down the alpine slide and most of all some good quiet time together. That was long overdue and very much appreciated.

This month we also had our 20-30-40-50 birthday party. Heather turned 20, Ann turned 30, I turned 40 and Karen turned 50. We decided we couldn't let these land mark birthdays go by without celebrating. We headed to Logan for the night. We stayed in the super 8 motel (a little scary) we went to get pedicures Ann and Heather went first and then the store started to flood. Karen and I sat on the couch and got some sericus entertainment from the shop owner. We went to Firehouse pizza and got dinner and most importantly Pizookies. Then Karen took us on a GPS hunt. We had a hilarious time at the headstone GPS stop. Those of us with weak bladders had to sit down so we wouldn't wet our pants.
Ann and Heather then treated Karen and me to pedicures...I think we got the better end of the deal.

There are many other things that have happened in July but those are the two that stand out in my mind the most. Karlee took drivers ed at the ATC, she is now driving with the instructor. I know I need to chill out when she drives with me but it is sooooo scary!
Dustin is getting ready to start football, he is not playing older but lighter. I am just going to concentrate on him being fast as a speeding bullet.

Brian's injuries from the Logan Peak Race. I still say he is one Crazy Man


We just celebrated the 4th of July at Liberty Days. We love to go to Liberty Days because it gives us a chance to see people that we haven't seen for a long time!!
We went to the Logan Fireworks on the 3rd with the Combe's. It's good to go back to USU with fellow Aggies. I sure do love Logan!!
Allyson and Karlee woke up early and ran in the Huntsville 10K and 5K. Allyson took first for the women in the 10K and Karlee took 2nd in the 5K.
My favorites at Liberty Days...
Seeing old friends.
Watching the Volleyball tournament...(I'm still rooting for the Wadman's to win 1st place) they took 3rd this year.
The greased pole. Dustin is determined to get that $50.00 bill. One year I know he will.
The Fireworks. It is fun to lay down in the park and see the fireworks up close and personal with our neighbors and friends!
We also went to a Barbecue at the Wadman's for Brad's birthday. It is always good to visit with family. We are blessed!!
