Thank you, Grandpa F!

A couple of weeks ago I told my Dad that I would like to put a sand box in my backyard, and I haven't really thought much about it since. My Dad showed up today with wood and sand. He made my kids the happiest kids in the valley. Mackay just layed in it and rolled around, Jaelyn did sand angels. After every body part was covered with sand we got out the buckets, shovels and heavy equiptment. Thanks Dad and Grandpa!!

Happy 4th!!!

We have had a fun 4th of July weekend. We started off by watching the Logan Fireworks with Grandpa & Grandma Frank (we don't have pics b/c my old digital camera, that we have been using since our wave running episode, is on the fritz). Grandma made caramel popcorn - yum!
We went to the Hyrum Parade on the 4th. We love candy, but most of all, we love fighting for candy with people we don't even know. I prefer the parades at Disneyland just because they don't throw candy.












When we got home from the parade, we wanted to cool down. Rog thought this would be fun, and it was. We all had a turn.
We watched a spectacular firework show at Grandpa and Grandma Roundy's that night. Then we slept over in the bunks in Grandpa's barn. Jaelyn has always wanted to camp out in the bunk houses, so we thought it would be a good night to do it. It was fun.







On Saturday, we hit Hyrum Dam. We had fun with the Roundy clan. Mackay loves the squirt gun, and so does Uncle Pat.









This is Tate (Betsy's little guy) with
Grandma Roundy and Mackay, and of course our 'mud monster', Jaelyn.

Sure Signs of Summer

Well, I guess it is finally summer. I love it. But I love all the seasons. By the time one is ending, I am usually glad that it is and that there is something to look forward to in the upcoming season. Rog and I could never live in a place where there is only one season. We would go crazy.
Our kids are already having a fun summer. A man in our ward saddles up his horses every Wednesday night and lets the kids have rides. Both kids look forward to Wednesday.











Who doesn't love corn on the cob? No, it isn't from our garden, but it was probably the best Macey's corn on the cob we have had. (If you put on enough butter, anything would taste good :)

We have been out on the wave runners several times, but I never remember to bring the camera to get pics. Well, last week I took it and it got wet, so we have no camera at the moment (these pics were already on the card - it didn't get ruined). Funny thing (not really funny at all) is that when we got back from the dam, I put Roger's shorts in the washer to soak. They soaked for about 2 hours before we realized that Rog's cell phone was in the pocket. Yup, I'm dumb. Amazingly enough the phone starting working (and is still going strong) after it dried out in a blazing hot car for about 24 hours. No luck on the camera, so pics may be sparce. We have had water issues lately. About a month ago, Jaelyn sprayed water with a spray bottle (just cleaning you know) into the vents on our tv upstairs. It has also gone the ways of the wind. I guess all bad things come in 3's - even in the electronic world.

Fun, Fun!

Our summer schedule has started off with a bang. Jaelyn has kept us busy with t-ball twice a week and dance three times a week, along with playing with friends everyday (at least wanting too). I feel bad for Mackay because he doesn't have anything going on, but I also don't know what we will do when he is involved in activities as well.
I have also been busy with my new calling. I am the 2nd counselor in the Relief Society. Yes, that is over enrichment, and I am the youngest one in RS by ~20 yrs. I will be expecting posts of your condolences as well as any ideas that would be fun for the 'younger women' (age 25-45).

Roger is excited that the workplace has moved closer to us. It is now in Ogden. It cuts his commute time in half - as well as what we pay for gas. He is still in the Elders Quorum Presidency which will prove interesting with my new calling. We will be busier, which will keep Grandma and the aunties and cousins busy this summer. Thanks you in advance!
