The Latest...

I've been waiting to blog hoping that my uncle would email me some pictures that I requested, but he hasn't yet, so here is what has been going on with us the last little while.

We had a very laid back 4th of July. We got to sleep in a bit, then we "helped" my brother move into his new house. We went out to lunch with my family at Winger's, then back to my parents house to lounge around. That night we went to see "Get Smart" with some friends. It was very funny and family friendly. We highly recommend it. (not to mention, I LOVE Dwayne Johnson!!)Yes... we are losers and didn't go see fireworks on the 4th. As a matter of fact, we haven't been to fireworks since we've been married. So, I bought sparklers for the 24th of July. Even if we do nothing else, there will be sparklers! Another fun thing about the 4th of July this year is that my older brother Mike proposed to his girlfriend, Heather! Yay and congrats! They are getting married in the Jordan River temple on October 11th. I'm so excited for them!

On July 9th we got to go to a Bee's baseball game with my co-workers. It was so much fun! The company I work for does it ever summer and we get pretty awesome seats. This year we were on the 3rd base line. We had fun eating burgers and yelling at the players and singing "take me out to the ball game" at the TOP of our lungs. Brian was being silly and making everyone in my department laugh. . And perhaps I shouldn't tell this story, but it's just so darn cute I can't resist. My boss' son, Corbyn loves to hang out with my friend Brenda. So he asked her if he could come sit on her lap. And just before Kip and Corbyn left the game, Corbyn said something to Brenda that he shouldn't have (kids will be kids) and Kip got angry and made him apologize and Corbyn felt SO bad. A few days later, Kip brought a letter to work for Brenda that was from Corbyn in his cute little 6 year old handwriting that said something like: Brenda, I'm sorry about what I said. Thanks for playing with me. Love, Corbyn. I thought that was so stinkin' cute! Kids really do say the darndest things...



This is my team (minus my team lead) Tami, Kip, Jason, Suzy, Me, Brenda


July 11th I was able to ditch work and go to Lagoon with my Aunt Jan, her girls Lexie and Brenna, Uncle John, Aunt Gina, and their kids Katherine, Erika, AJ, and David (these are the pictures I was waiting for). I LOVE Lagoon! We had such a blast! And I was SO relieved that it was not blasted hot outside. It was hot, but breezy. We were there from almost open, til the time they closed. A few of my favorite rides are the white roller coaster (classic), the tilt-a-whirl and the spider. This year, Lagoon has a new ride called Odysea which I have to say is pretty darn cute. We're talking Disneyland cute. You'll have to check it out!
