Hiking

Today was another HOT day in Utah! I think that they said it was over 100 degrees. It's funny because like three months ago everyone was begging for it to warm up. Anyway since it was hot and Marc wasn't working we finally got to go hiking today! I love hiking. We packed the cooler and the camel pack and headed for the mountains.

We took Kayla and our dog Savy. It was sooo nice to get out of the hot and get some needed exercise. We went to Dog Lake nice 3.1 mile hike! Once we got there I realized how out of shape I am and dreaded thinking about having to hike back out to get to the car. Luckily the hike back was all down hill. Kayla was such a trooper. Marc carried her for most of the way on his shoulders. It's good that he works out and is in shape. anyway it was a fun day just the three of us.

Day at the Aquarium

Today was another fun adventure we went to the aquarium with all the kids. We have been doing this a lot lately. I think that we have gone crazy. It is a zoo when they are all together. 7 Children under the age of 5. It was a lot of fun and they all have fun when they are together. We all bought passes so I guess that we will be going there more than expected.

This weekend has been a very busy and exciting one. Friday night we went to probably one of the best concerts ever. Cheap Trick, Heart, and Journey.

Cheap Trick was okay not the best. They are good but fell a little short in expectations.

Heart was great. My sister and Brother in law will disagree. They played all their classics. Dog and Butterfly, Steamboat Annie, Magic Man, and of course Alone my all time favorite. They played all the songs that made them famous. My Bro and Sis in Law wanted them to play all their radio classics so they were disappointed.

Journey was amazing their new singer Arnel Pineda stole the show. He was like the energizer bunny. He never stopped jumping around and moving. If it was me I would have passed out! They sang some great new songs can't wait to buy the new album. They also played all the old faves. They finished with Faithfully My all time favorite Journey song! All in all a great night.

Saturday was another busy day! We woke up my Nephews have been staying over ate breakfast ran around. My Mom and Me went to my cousin Angie's wedding non shower. It was fun and I am very excited for her. After I met up with Marc and Kayla at Hunter's Birthday party.(Hunter is Kayla's boyfriend.)After the party at the bounce place. We went to Hunter's house his dad is Marc's cousin for a BBQ and fun hang out time.

Today I am tired and just hanging out. I am thinking about going to church but haven't quite decided. I will update more with the rest of the day unfolds.

Updates

So it has been a few days since I last blogged and so many things have happened. First if you didn't hear my dad got into a fight with a tool box and the tool box won! he ended up with 16 staples and 4 stitches. Here are the pics.

The fourth was fun we went to the Parade in the morning. Came home relaxed and went to a place called Taggarts for Dinner super good up in the canyons got away from the heat. Came home and lit off fireworks. Kayla stayed in the house while we enjoyed the show.

Today we went to the Zoo with Patti and Pam and all of their kids. It was soooo fun but it was also a long day! I got stung by a bee but it was still fun. tonight we went up Big cottonwood canyon and had dinner with Pam and her Fam. I am glad that we are getting out of the house and are able to have such fun in the sun!

The rest of July and even August are looking pretty full so hopefully I will continue to have some fun stuff to blog about!

Happy Birthday CC

So the 2nd of July is a Holiday in itself just ask my sister in Law Kelsee. Today is her birthday and we love her so much. She is the best aunt to Kayla if you ask her who she wants to babysit her it is always CC. That is her nickname. When Kayla was learning how to talk she couldn't say Kelsee and My mother in law called her sissy. So she picked up CC and that has stuck!

She has also been the best little sister I have ever had. Make that the only little sister I have ever had. I love to talk to her and hang out with her. She makes family functions more enjoyable. I know that Marc loves his little sister and loves to give her a hard time. We love her and hope that she has the best birthday ever.
