Summer..So Far
I can't believe June has come and gone. It was a very busy month, but fun. I have to say that the weather was the best ever. Just one thunderstorm after another. Who knew we were in for such a treat! I really did love it, even though my basement flooded twice. Anyway, I've got a lot to cover, so if you're bored and have some time to kill...this is the blog for you. James's birthday was June 12th. I got him a bunch of desperately needed summer clothes. It was also OC Tanner Lagoon Day so that's where we hung out all day. It was sooo crowded. Ridiculously crowded but we had lots o' fun. We hooked up with our good friend Louri and her 2 girls. We closed the place down, as always. 
Then there was Father's Day. I had my dad over and cooked a huge mexican dinner. I forgot to take a picture of the spread, but it was awesome. James got some new golf gear. Then came the much anticipated annual Pineview trip. The best part is having Mindy and Jeremy and the boys here from South Carolina. The kids have so much fun. It never fails to rain on us, however. This year we had some huge wind storms as well. Tents were literally flying. We always end up coming back early because of the weather. Still, tons of fun though.
Then there's the Demolition Derby! We get VIP treatment whenever we're in West Jordan thanks to the inlaws. We sit up in the box, eat all kinds of treats and watch the show. They had some good crashes this year. One of the drivers got really mad and got out of his car and started yelling at someone. When the crowd booed him, he flipped us all off. Great entertainment for little boys.
The next big event is the 4th of July, of course. We always go out to the West Jordan Stampede. Again, VIP treatment! We get to go backstage and see all the bulls and cowboys. The kids have all mutton busted and hide ridden (some rodeo lingo for ya there) and then we get front row seats to boot. Good Things Utah has been covering the Stampede and Chase got on the show yesterday morning. Check it out. (Kid in the black hat assisting magician).
