Summer BBQ with Shrek ( AKA- Jamel)

Shrek (Jamel) flew to Utah for business and we had him over on July 26th for dinner and some pool. We BBQ'd some steaks and while we were eating a gigantic windstorm blew in and Abbey started to cry (the wind evidently scared her). We took the party to the garage and we all engaged in darts and pool. We had lots of fun and enjoyed seeing Jamel. He invited us to Florida so Jeff, Abbey and I are going to take him up on the offer and we are planning to visit Orlando the 1st week of March. I have Kelly and my mom n law talked into a spring trip to Disneyworld with the kids. Corrie and Jeremy have also bought tickets to the pan handle and are planning a trip in October!!

Liberty Land- July 24th

Riding with the cousins & Aunt Kelly on the Merry Go Round

I got back late on the night of the 23rd from Vegas and had to work early on the 24th so Jeff took Abbey and met Kelly at Liberty Land with the kids. They spent the day there and came home for a late lunch and swimming in the back yard. Later in the evening we BBQ'd and Connor was in charge of the fireworks show. The kids all wanted to have a sleepover, so we gave Kelly & Juan the night off and the kids slept over. We had fun lighting fireworks, watching a movie and eating popcorn. At the end of the night we were all exhasted.

Abbey & Sierra---- I read them both to sleep!!!!

McKinley was the 1st one to crash

Connor beat them all but was close behind Abbey & Sierra

Abbey loves her cousins so much and we are so glad that we get to spend lots of time hanging out with them. We can't wait for the next sleepover!!

Salmon Supper

Last night Jeff, Abbey and I went with Clark & my dad to the Payson Salmon Supper. The food was delicious and the "entertainmnet" was even better!! We all enjoyed watching the people of Payson (Such a nice town to be from, no offense dad & mom- I still love you). I swear, some of the people I went to high school with are still living in the 80's and seeing their kids is like a Deja Vu of Def Leppard & 1990.

Corrie, Jeremy & the girls met up with us just after we got our food and after we finished eating we went over to the playground for a while. Abbey saw "Belle" in the park and was so exited that she talked to her. I think I have Kelly talked into taking the girls to the PCT production of 'Beauty & the Beast'. Abbey & Sierra both have a thing right now for Belle, so I'm pretty sure they would both like the play.

After our night in Payson (we stayed a bit to watch the fire) we headed to American Fork to attend Cami's wedding. She looked so cute and the ampitheatre was decorated really pretty. Cami was the first trainee that I got to train in dispatch and I believe after next week she will be on her own. Congratulations Cami & Travis!!!

On Saturday Abbey had her 1st (non-relative) babysitter. Lexi Taggart came over at 0630 on saturday morning and watched Abbey until 1130. When Lexi knocked on the door she told me it took her a long time to fall asleep because she was so excited. Her family also took Abbey to a breakfast in Highland and they also attended the parade for the "Highaland Fling". When I got home she told me "my Lexi" played with me today while you at work and I also clapped and got candy at the parade"!! Lexi did an awesome job, and we can't wait to have her come back!!
