Another crazy week.....

I ran over to visit the girls. I hadn't seen them for a while. I was holding Elizabeth and she was a little fussy. Her sister had handed me her left over pizza. So I gave it to her. Do you think pizza is a good choice for a 3 month old?:-)
Issy eating the rest of her pizza with her fingernails painted boo....

Later that night there was a fireside for the trek the kids are going on. They ask us all to wear white. I don't ever put anything white on below the waist, so I was a little different than my friends. They ended up making me a pioneer in the end.


The next day the princess came and spent the day with me. We had a lot of fun. I took her down to my garden for a while. She loves to hold the hose. She would say "i dink" and take a drink, then hold it at me and say "you dink." This picture was so funny. She leaned over to rinse the grass off of her feet. Of course, as she bent down she soaked her dress saying "wash." Then when she got the water on her dress she tried to "wash" the water off of her dress with the hose, just getting herself more wet!


She also helped me plant a tomato plant, notice the dirt she is sprinkling on top of it:-) Later that night her Uncle Steven drove her home and they all went off to LA the next day. Which was Erin's birthday. she spent her 25th birthday driving in the car. Poor Steven being born in the middle of July has probably spent half of his birthdays gone on trips. But back to the princess she has been partying in Disney Land and at the beach. She told me on the phone, "I go up down." that was on the Dumbo ride she loved it.


We had Nathan drive on the highway Saturday. He drives great around town but hasn't had much highway driving time. We ended up sitting in basically one spot for 30 minutes. We saw a helicopter come and leave, and when we finally went by the wreck we saw a motorcycle. hopefully it wasn't to bad, we never heard anything about it.


Sunday we headed out fairly early to Grantsville. My cousin was speaking in Sacrament meeting. He had taken the hard road in life, and has turned his life around. He is married now and going to the temple this weekend. It was fun to go and see him and his sisters, and all of their kids. I didn't take any pictures, a person doesn't think to whip out the camera in the chapel:-)
Then we were invited to a surprise birthday party/barbecue for a good friend Mindy. Her husband did a great job throwing her the party. She was very surprised!



Mike in his free time has gotten hooked on a farming game. So he had to use the computer at the party to harvest his crops!



They did the coolest thing. They cooked in their fire pit on the porch. They had 3 dutch ovens going 2 full of chicken breast and one with yummy camp potatoes. They were made with bacon, onions, garlic, cheese, and 7-UP. I could cut my chicken with my plastic knife, it was so tender and very good! Her husband had ton's of food there he had hamburgers and hot dogs for everybody too.

We were neighbors for about a year. While we were building our house. Mindy and I got pretty close we started walking everyday and just enjoyed each others company. Then we moved and they moved and we haven't seen each other in about 2 years. We are friends on facebook:-) But she was really happy to see us. It's nice to go somewhere and have people be excited that you are there! ( I should have put more makeup on, this was 12 hours after I got ready to go to church, I was looking bedraggled!)



We left Mindy's party and I drove down to a town called Nephi. Ana had driven up with her family. They spent the night in Nephi heading up to Idaho to see her father-in-law he is not doing well, so they came up to be with him. It was a gorgeous drive. It took about an hour and it was dark and cloudy, 68 degrees with lightning jumping around in the clouds. I had the sun roof open and the windows down and I was listening to some good oldies songs. It was a very happy drive for me.


Ana decided to come home with me and spend the night. We stayed up until 2:00AM, then got up the next morning had a bite to eat with Mike, and met her family in the parking lot of a store to pick her up and head for Idaho.


Off they went and I came home to some very relaxing time. Nate is out of school so we all just chilled around the house.

Pizza. I think that might be just a little advanced. Poor Nathan - it seems like there have been way more accidents on the freeway lately. I don't want to drive it myself. I loved kids and hoses -
