Boating

My brother was kind to take us boating for July 24th. I was especially excited to go since I'm not pregnant and could wake board and wake surf. I got up on the first time, so that is good since I haven't done it for a couple years. Grandma also came with us along with Michael's kids. Camille was out of town. Grandma tried getting up on the surf board, but had no luck. Maybe next time. The kids love the boat and enjoyed swimming in the water. Aiden didn't really like swimming, he was a little scared. Well we had good food and a good time. I can't wait until we can go again.

Zoo

We have enjoyed having a zoo pass this year for the family. Since Aiden has had staples in his head and we couldn't go swimming at the pool, we decided to go to the zoo. My friend Evelyn came with us. We had a great time seeing all the animals and then going to Red Robin after to get a cheeseburger.

Boise

A couple weeks ago we went to Boise to visit Uncle Scot and Aunt Megan. They were performing in the play The Wizard of Oz. Aunt Megan played the part of the wicked witch and Uncle Scot played the parts of Uncle Henry, a munchkin, and the gate keeper. Aunt Megan was so convincing Aiden would shake every time she came on stage. She had the perfect evil laugh. Scot was very good as well. I especially loved him as a munchkin because he is normally a big guy. I liked how they used chairs and some clever costumes. The play was really good. It is now one of my favorites that they have performed.
We also enjoyed swimming at the hotel pool, going to the Discovery Museum, and going to the park to watch the fireworks for the 4th of the July. We mostly enjoyed seeing Uncle Scot and Aunt Megan.

St. George

Yes, I am updating our blog! Can you believe it? So for Memorial Day weekend we went to St. George with my Dad and Debbie, Michael and his family, Becca, and us. We stayed at Michael's bosses house. It is a 4 million dollar house. It has 2 swimming pools, steam room, sauna room, huge theater room. Anyway is was really nice. We played some tennis, swam, watched movies, and played games. It was pretty fun!

Christmas

Christmas this year was nice because it was just our family. The girls woke up at about 6 am and then we got Aiden up. Aiden got a new bike that he loves. Now he won't have to borrow Ali's bike anymore. Ali got a new baby set that comes with a baby stroller, high chair and bassinet. Lizzie got a Crayola Color Explosion set. Katelyn got two outfits. That night we went to my Mom's place for dinner. I made dinner for everyone on Christmas Eve and had my Mom and Rebecca over. We also watched Elf and played Phase 10. On Saturday we went and played tennis with my Dad and Debbie and had dinner. We opened presents and played Dominos. It was a nice Christmas.

Angie and Jason's Wedding

My youngest sister Angie just got married to Jason Ivancich on December 12th in the Mount Timpanogos Temple. It was great to be at the sealing. She had her reception at the Provo Library ballroom. Everything went well. We also went to Glendora, California for her other reception because that is where Jason is from. The trip went well. The kids enjoyed riding in our new minivan, watching a movie. But we are so happy for her and we love Jason and his family.
