More July Fun at K's

This was a surprise birthday party for my Mom that us girls threw. It was so much fun to see her look when she walked through the door just expecting a BBQ and not all of us girls either. Well, we were all there with all of our spouses and kids.

Zach is a great water fight starter, it's him against the rest of the family and guess who wins every time?? Yup, Zach does.

While the boys were upstairs doing their thing us girls decided we'd go downstairs and entertain ourselves with a quick game. That didn't work out too well, we tried, but we had too much fun taking pictures of ourselves. :)

Fourth of July!

Fourth of July weekend we thought it would be fun to go camping with the Spouse's Mom. We went up to Payson Lakes, since it's so close and it gives us more time to spend there than actually driving. The lake was beautiful and since we went during the week there wasn't very many people up there. We almost had the lake to ourselves.

The Spouse went fishing while Wally, Mom-n-Law and I played in the lake. One night The Spouse wanted us to acompany him while he fished, we did, it was great just to sit there. Wally, not such a good sitter, he played in the water and soaking wet.

We weren't catching anything power bait so the couple next to us gave us some worms. Thinking it would be a great idea we had Wally take the worms to his Dad. He did just that and when we came close to him he dropped the worms in the lake. Spouse was like that the heck. I said no big deal, I'll roll up my pants and jump in after them. Using the worms The Spouse caught four fish. Wally was so excited he asked if he could help carry them back to camp and to help clean them up (YUCKY)!

Ward Campout - Payson Lakes

Cherie's ward was having a campout, we were lucky enough to go with her and Lomi a few weekends ago. Here are a few pics of our night stay:

Some Fun For Us

It’s almost time for a long fourth weekend and I beyond excited for all the many plans we have. I just have to get through work tomorrow, which shouldn’t be a problem because I’m super busy with getting a million things done in one day. I love being busy, so keep it coming.

I will start the weekend by making the Spouse an actual dinner Friday night of ham and funeral potatoes with bbq chicken salad. If I feel extremely giving I will make him sugar cookies (recipe courtesy of his Grandmother – THANK YOU).

I would like to put the babe early, but we all know that’s almost impossible. If we do succeed we could cuddle up on the couch watching a good chick flick/action movie: 10,000 BC or whatev the Spouse is in the mood for.

Sleep in Friday morning while Spouse wakes up early to go to work, not happy about that, but what can I do. Hopefully get some good cleaning done while he’s at work and when he gets home off to the Lake or at least I hope to. He can get some fishing in while Wally and I splash around and have with Papa and Grandma.

Wake up extremely early Saturday and make our way to the Almond reunion, the funniest time ever!

Sunday thru Tuesday we will be camping! Yes, I am in luck with a five day weekend. I couldn’t ask for more.

Hope your fourth is as fun as ours – enjoy :)

Weekend Fun

This past weekend was great. Saturday we put up the awning over the spa, went swimming and out to dinner. Sunday was even better, Rusty and the girls came up to visit us. We went swimming again and had a bbq in the backyard. They were there for most of the day, it was nice to have friends over. We've been so busy this summer we haven't done too many fun things and that was just what we needed.

The Finder

Welcome to the Family!!

(Goodbye Nitro)

Life is moving right along - we've had some ups and downs, but nothing to throw us overboard. All is the same as it always is.

We've been working on the yard, slow and steady, but it is coming along.

We've done a few things this summer and hope to add more to the list.

Memorial weekend was a lot of fun.
It started off with our normal Saturday routine of yard work, the usual mowing and so on. I planted the last bush by the porch and the angel hair ground cover by the tree. I still have two Sweet Williams to go and I'm not sure where to place those. Running longer than we thought we missed Courtney's wedding cerimony and made it to the reception.

She had the best reception I've been to. There was great food, music, family and dancing. Courtney danced all night long, she never ran out of energy. Cherie and I danced a bit and Wally ran around with Drake and the gang of kids. Mike talked to anyone who passed by. It was fun for all. Kent's children came, which we were all excited to see, especially Brent's new addition. I slowly made my way over to say hello and hold the baby, but Mike, to my surpise, was holding her. How they managed to have Mike hold her, I have no clue. After a while, I just had to steal her, she is so cute and precious. Almost makes you want a girl. She didn't fuss or cry at all, just full of smiles. We stayed the whole time and didn't make it home until close to midnight, it was worth it.

Sunday we slept in, I mean really slept in, noon. We lounged around and Mike said get dressed, we're going to the zoo. We jumped in the car and off to Hogle Zoo for a few hours. Wally enjoyed the animals and would like to go again. It was nice.

Monday was more yard work and to the in-laws for the evening. We went to a near by park and played a game of softball. Mike and Ty were the team captains and picked their teams. Mike picked Bryce and Ty picked Jaron and so on and on, Mike took his Mom and Ty took me. Surpised that Mike didn't pick his own wife, me to, but that's his loss because Ty's team won hands down! I guess he learned the hard way, his wife can play ball and yes, I can hit - pretty far too. After a good game we made our way to TGI Fridays for a late night dinner.

So the end of Memorial weekend and another work week begins, until next time.
