TEXAN ADVENTURE

We had a fun weekend. My cousins from Texas are visiting in Utah for a few weeks and we got to spend a couple days with them. Hayden came to the BEES baseball game with us on Thursday night and then spent the night at our place. The next day we meet up with McCall and Tye and spent the afternoon at the Gateway. We all went to DINOSAURS 3-D and then I took the McCall and Sammie to play in the fountains. We finished the night with bowling before we headed back to Gram and Grandpa Burke's house for a high-powered basketball game. We had tons of fun with them. The fun didn't end there, oh no, McCall came back to our house and had a sleepover with Sammie in our front room. Sammie just thought that was the coolest thing ever. She did however keep referring to McCall as Jordan. I have no clue why. Sammie kept following McCall around and wanting to do everything that McCall would do. Sammie was beside herself with excitement. McCall was a good sport. We enjoyed spending time with the Texan Clan and always look forward to hanging out with them.

Camping in Grandma and Grandpa Clinger's backyard

We had a busy time in Idaho this past weekend. Matt had his 10 year class reunion and had tons of activities planned for that. We really wanted to go camping this summer with the kids, but because of Eston's helmut, it wasn't a good idea to take him out in the heat and the dirt. We improvised and camped in Grandma and Grandpa Clinger's backyard. We set up the tent and had a great BBQ that night. Braden is in the pic with Matt and the kids. After some of the high school reunion festivities we went back and decided it was time to get in the tent. Sammie had her flashlight and harmonica and was ready to sleep. I just have to say that it was an interesting experience. The next morning Grandma cooked sausage and pancakes out by our tent. We got the whole camping experience catered to us. Sammie liked camping so much that the next night Grandpa Dallas set up his one man tent in the office and Sammie camped inside. That girl loves the outdoors like her mom. Matt said we are in trouble.

4th of July Weekend at Bear Lake

Matt and I spent the weekend with the kids up at Bear Lake with the rest of the Family. It was great to be able to relax and enjoy each others company. It seems like summer is so busy for us. There is always something fun going on and I am the type of person who has to be doing it all. Matt's parents joined us for a day at the Lake along with the Quist and Staples family who stayed for the weekend. Sammie was being a diva out in the water she felt she needed to sun bath in the inner tube. She is quite the princess when it comes to anything big.

We then drove on to Idaho for Matt's cousins wedding. It was out doors and beautiful. We spent the fourth in Idaho with both sides of Matt's family eating lots of good food as they like to do. We arrived home to Salt Lake just in time for the big 4th of July fireworks show at Sugarhouse park. The kids were in the zone by the time we left the park. Sammie's new favorite word is FIREWORTS!!!! (she can't say her k sounds)

So be patient while I get this site up and running I am going to have to piece it together a little at a time since we don't have internet at our house
