Birthdays and Anniversaries!!!!

July is always a fun month. It's the 4th of July, my birthday, our anniversary, the 24th of July. Lots of fun things happening in this great month. I had 3 days of birthday fun. I relaxed most of the day and then John took me to Texas Roadhouse. Afterwards, we got a chick flick and went home and watched it. The next day, Tiff's family invited us for dinner and then all of the other kids and their families came for cake and ice cream and presents later that day. It was way fun and I was pretty spoiled. On Monday, I went with my sisters to Applebees for lunch and we celebrated again. It was a great Birthday.
Two days later was our anniversary. So, John and I took off about 3:00 and headed to West Yellowstone. We stopped and ate at Ponds Lodge and then went to the Playmill to watch High School Musical. It was super good. Afterwards we stayed at my sisters cabin for the night. We went home about noon the next day. It was really nice to get away even if it was only one night. Now, on to the next activities!

Great Week and 4th of July

For the past 2 weeks, we have been having a lot of extra fun with grandkids. We tended Lizzie for 10 days while her Mom and Dad went to Alaska. It was fun and she was a sweetheart. There was only a few times that she got sad and wanted her Mommy. Tiffany helped watch her a few days while I had to work and she had so much fun with all of her cousins. She got to play with the Johnson kids, the Poulsen kids and the Call kids. We played in the pool, in the dirt a lot,(she loves the dirt) rode the carousel a few times, ate a ton of popsicles and just had a great time. I was pretty tired by the end but that's what happens to Grandmas when they get older. Last Thursday we took her home and then spent the weekend with Heather and Koby. Thursday night we went to the Beach Boy concert in Logan. Then, Friday the men went to the car show and we stayed and played in the pool in the back yard. We went over later and watched the awesome fireworks at the stadium. they were really good. Lizzie was scared of them and hid her eyes the whole time. Camri wasn't quite sure about them. Some she was a bit scared of and Taylie loved them. It was a great show though. On Saturday, the men went to the car show again and the girls went to the Logan Aquatic center and played in the pool for about 4-5 hours. We then watched the Cruize In on Logan's main street. They block the street off and let all the old cars from the car show drag main for a couple of hours. Its fun to see all of them. We then headed home on Sunday. Monday was the 4th. John and I went to the flag raising at the church and then we came home and tilled the garden and mowed the lawn. We didn't go to any parades or anything. At 1:00 we went to Nikida's 1st birthday party. There was a lot there and she got pretty spoiled. We had cake and ice cream and visited a while and then came home and had a nap. Later that night Trever's family and David's family came over to do fireworks. Jaimie had bought quite a few and it was fun to do. We enjoyed the time with family very much. We hope everyone had a great 4th.
