So I have a lot to catch up on.... We've been busy with family and friends and it has been soo much fun! The 24th and 25th of June, we went to Payson Lake with my family. It was soo much fun as it always is with my family. Of course I didn't catch anything...I swear the fish know which poll is mine and avoid it...but it was still a blast! We sung campfire songs while my mom played her ukulele, ran around with adorable kids, goofed off with sisters and brothers-in-law...I really do love my family. Oh yeah, and two adults, April and I, in a little blow up boat that the max weight limit is 190.... with both of us in there it didn't sink! woohoo! But the waves did come in a little. That was FREEZING! We had tonz of laughs like we always do!
Kiss Me Dirty - Who doesn't love getting dirty? as in muddy...? :) I went to the Dirty Girl Run with Mandee, April, and Mandee's friend Tanill. It was a blast!! It's a four mile race(one lap is two miles) going through obstacles and mud! it was a BLAST! There were hay bails, tires, walls to climb over, ropes to do the army crawl under, and a river to run up..yes I did say up. It was so cold! but it did feel good because it was soo hot and humid. The very end there was a tarp FULL of bubbles! It was one of the best things I have done with two of my sisters. (Pictures coming soon)
My nephew, Carter, was baptized on Saturday(7/2)! He is soo funny and makes the funniest comments. He wanted to stay in the water while it drained because it was warm. haha! Tara and I sang and of course, I was nervous. It's usually not as bad as it was, but my knees were shaking soo bad! note to self....next time, wear flats! The song sounded really good until the very end. I mean the very last note. Right before I sang that last note I looked up(like usual) and I looked at my brother-in-law, not a good idea. He mouthed 'calm down'. I smiled and ran out of breath so I couldn't hold out the last note. Oh geez...at dinner my family kept commenting on it. It was pretty funny. :) Tara and I had a lot of laughs sitting in the back together as Amber gave the final talk.
Sunday night...was sooo hot...the hubby and I had the house all to ourselves all weekend and at midnight(Monday morning), we decided to go for a swim. Chase and Emily(our best friends) came over and swam with us. It was so much fun! After we swam we had a fire and talked and laughed. We have so much fun with these two! Oh and I can't forget Haz! Mya and Haz played all night! Chase and Emily left around 3:00 and Mya fell asleep instantly. On the 4th, we had to wake her up to take her outside and again she crashed out there. She usually is up and running around us while we are getting ready in the morning. It was kinda nice. :)
The Fourth was soo much fun! If you didn't have fun in the heat/humidity then you were missing out! We went to the Riverdale parade with my family. I think the adults have more fun than the kids. :) We are ALWAYS standing on the street with the little kids grabbing candy. "Only on the fourth do we tell our kids to pick up candy off the road and eat it" I love April! But it is true...any other time of the year it would be nasty. After the parade we decided to stop by Chase and Emily's house to see how things were going since we were up there for the parade, they live in Ogden. We ended up staying in Ogden ALL day! I am totally not complaining! :) These guys are awesome! They were going to a Demolition Derby that night and previously asked us to go but we were unable too. Well....as we were at their house, sneaky Emily and Chase bought us tickets to go...I love these two! The Demo Derby was AWESOME! Cars were catching fire, flinging mud everywhere, tipping over the barrier walls, oh and they had trucks in this one! They were awesome to watch because they have more power and can still drive if one of their tires falls off! Two of the trucks were flipped over onto their sides. Thankfully no one was hurt and they kept going once they were upright. After the Derby they had fireworks of course! It was fun to be with friends and the hubby watching the huge fireworks above. I love the ones with the huge BANG! I felt like a little kid again. :)
When we got home of course I had to go to bed because I have to be up for work at 5:30. Going to bed around 11 on the 4th is one of the hardest things ever. Especially since your brother-in-law loves the big fireworks... I swear those things were going off right in front of my window. I would be cuddled up in my soft blanket, sleep falling upon me, dreams starting to come when BANG.... right outside my window...they scared the crap outta me! Somehow I was able to let the sleep completely consume me between the fireworks going off and the last thing I woke up to was the hubby kissing me 'goodnight'. It has been such a fun summer so far. And I know it will continue to be a blast because of everything that is planned. Lava Hot Springs, Camping, Bear Lake..... :) I don't want the summer to end.
