Fireworks

The fireworks at the Dodger's game were amazing!  Owen was a little scared of the popping noises and Tess slept through the event, but Jon recorded this snippet and I wanted to share it with everyone so here it is. The flashes throughout the crowd were pretty cool too.

Weekend in California

We went down and stayed with the Peterson's this weekend and we had a great time, as we always do!  We saw Danny, Kyr, and Lydia on Friday, went to the Dodgers game on Saturday, Diddie Reese on Sunday, and the beach on Monday.  I had so many pictures I decided on a slide show here are some pics from our very fun filled weekend

Flaming Gorge

Friday night we left for Flaming Gorge with Josh and Libby. Josh's family was already up there. We had a lot of fun. We had a scary experience when Libby accidently put unleaded gas into Dave's Diesel truck. Luckily I noticed before we started the truck and some really nice local guys syphoned all the gas out and pushed it over to the diesel pump. It all turned out fine, but Libby will be referred to as "unleaded" by her father-in-law for a long time.
we look sad but we were really relieved this is after we returned to camp after our adventure

Dirt Bike riders I am not pictured because I am way to clumsy for dirt bikes



This was our first dutch oven cooking experience, we made sprite chicken and it was delicious!

BSA Independence day party

My work closed a little early on July 3rd to have a short training session and a fun party. We brought decorated watermelons the theme was M&Ms the watermelons were judged on appearance and then we rolled them down a hill into milk crates. It was really fun, here are some pics

Kady and the kids surprised us with a spontaneous visit to utah this past week. Apparently someone needed their suv driven to Utah so Kady and Anneli loaded up the kids for a road trip. Here are some photos from their visit home:

Kady and Tessa Jane, Tess is so cute and such a troublemaker

We had so much fun! and saying goodbye was a little easier because we will see them again in a couple of weeks when Jon and I head down there for a weekend. We love you guys!
