Good Times/Good Friends

My friend Wendy is in town this week so some of the college roomates got together yesterday at the Jordan River Park. We all brought our families (except Blake who had a playoff game at the same time) had dinner, visited and let the kids play. It was so amazing to think the whole play area was full of our kids, who were half grown up already. We missed you and your family Michele but know your where you need to be. We had a blast and truly realized again the importance of good friends and great relationships. I love you girls! Take care!

Good Friends / Good Times

Sunday some of my friends from Dixie got together at Michele's house and we enjoyed the afternoon together saying goodbye to Michele who is off to California this week( We already miss her). It was fun to remember the good ole Dixie days. It was great to see everyone--It has definately been way too long.

Boating at Rockport

We went boating yesterday at Rockport and had a blast. It was cloudy and a much cooler day than anticipated; but the sun did peak out once or twice making it a very enjoyable day.

Bowling

Yesterday we went bowling at Fat Cats and had a blast. Kylie and mom won the first game and Leah won the 2nd game. Even when we let the little girls take our turns without bumpers they still could knock em down.

Congrads Blake!!! /24th weekend

I just want everyone to know that Blake got a new position Tuesday. He is now the Applications Engineer for Spencer Fluid Power and will be covering Utah, Arizona and Southern California. We are really proud of him and know he definitely deserves it.
We love you Blake!

Thursday night Charles and blake had a firecracker army war then Charles lit some fireworks for us that night. It was fun just to hang out at home.
Here is Aryaunna with Kylie watching the fireworks.


On Friday the 25th I went with my parents and most of my sisters to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra's Pioneer Day Commemoration Concert featuring the Osmonds. It was fun to hang with the girls and the Osmond brothers were great. I didn't like Marie's glittery dresses or the way she sang How Great Thou Art in her own remix; but at the end the choir joined in and of course they were awesome.
