Spectacular

The youth from 33 stakes in our area participated in a Spectacular performance. Wow, it was a lot of work but really amazing to see all of the youth. I think that it will be an awesome memory for Karlee and Lynzi who got to participate.

Teddi


Ally volunteered us to babysit one of her friends dog while they went on vacation. There are a few things she forgot to ask me about...
This dog is a house dog and has to be inside. Oh my I am not an inside the house pet person.
Leave it to Ally to volunteer for something like this.
I do have to admit that Teddi is cute and he has been a great entertainment tool for the kids but I don't think my position on inside pets is going to change!

4th of JULY


This year we went to Logan to see the fireworks. This is one of our favorite traditions. This year the finale was absolutely amazing. I have never seen anything like it.
On the third we went to Liberty days...the kids love to spend all day there. We went to the fireworks there that night. I like Liberty Days because we get so see so many people from the community.
I am so thankful to live in America and to have freedom here. I feel truly blessed to live in Liberty.

Ragnar



Ally and Karlee ran in the Ragnar relay this year. Karlee got two extra miles added on to her last leg. She was NOT happy. Ally got huge blisters and was really hot and miserable and yet before the race was finished they were planning for next years race. CRAZY girls.

HUMMINGBIRD HEAVEN


Lynzi and Dustin got asked to take care of our neighbors yard and animals while they went on vacation. They have about 20 hummingbird feeders and there are hundreds of hummingbirds at about 8:30 at night. Pretty cool to see!

Collapsing Ceiling to add on to the remodeling project.


WELL WE GOT OUR SWAMP COOLER UP AND RUNNING AND THEN WENT DOWNTOWN. ALLYSON CALLED US SAYING THAT THE CEILING HAD A BUBBLE IN IT. BRIAN TOLD HER TO GO TURN OFF THE WATER DOWNSTAIRS. INSTEAD OF TURNING THE WATER OFF SHE TURNED IT ON FULL BLAST. WHEN WE GOT BACK FROM TOWN WE CAME HOME TO THE CEILING COLLAPSED AND THIS LITTLE MESS.

Stay Cation


While Brian and Dustin went to scout camp the girls and I had a staycation.
We went swimming and saw Toy Story 3 in 3D. We went on a hike and got pedicures. We went shopping and had a Chick flick marathon. We had the Hansen girls over for dinner and games and we had a GREAT week. This stay cation idea is a good one, we will do this again for sure!

Remodeling...Oh the JOY!



Yes I am excited to get our remodel underway and I think that it will be so nice when it is finished....but oh the mess!!
We are in the thick of the remodel now and dust is 1 inch thick throughout my whole house. It will be so nice when it is done. I just need to enjoy this remodeling journey!
