Car Show

Last year we happened upon this great car show that we really enjoyed, so this year, I made sure to get it on my calendar.  There were over 400 entries, it took quite a while to walk around and see all of them.  We were hot and sweaty and ready for some big cold snowcones. 

 

It's hot hot hot

Oh wow, summer sure showed up this week.  It is HOT, and I know this is only the beginning of June.  I am sure to melt this summer.  Thank goodness for Lagoon A Beach, it will help us make it through the summer.  Gator wore us all out.  She would swim all day and into the night if it were her choice, but me and the boys were exhausted and a little burned, but now looking at these pictures, I want to go back in the cold water.

I love .99 cent summer!

Fat Cats in Ogden has an amazing deal all summer long.  Monday-Friday all activities are only .99 cents a piece.  I've bowled quite a bit the last few summers, and I still can't beat 75.  I'm a terrible bowler.  Today I'm the only one that didn't get at least one strike. 
Everyone's strike face, except for me because I stink.

Memorial Day

Today for Memorial Day we started in Farmington visiting Grandma and Aunt Bev's graves.  After Farmington, we drove to Layton to moms.  Her spot looks really nice now with the grass and they planted a tree right by her as well.  Mom was like me, always looking for shade to get out of the hot sun, so I like to think she had a part in where this tree was planted, it's also her favorite kind of tree, a Red Maple. 
We also had a BBQ this evening with Clarks family.  Stewarts are always so gracious about all of us crashing their house.

May Mish Mash

Here is a post with some of the random from May. 
Man sometimes I hate cell phones. 
 Gator and Frank are such cute friends.  They keep each other company on lazy afternoons. 
 Even in her sleep, Gator wears red lipstick.  She has to look good, if there is an emergency and she has to rush out of bed. 
Our favorite snow cone place, but Davis had a sugar hangover this night, he was laughing so hard, he could barely eat his treat.
 A surprise on my driveway.
 Gator is loving being 8 and going to Activity Days.  At this activity, they met with the young women and talked about modesty and were models for newspaper dresses. 
 Shopping for bicycle helmets is not an easy job with a head Owen's size.  Good thing this trip was for Gator and not Owen.
 We were leaving Walmart and it was raining.  Owen told me to pull over and I wondered why, but he had seen these people struggling with a large box and he got out in the rain, and helped them lift it into their truck. 
 Davis has his first job, he is helping out at the nursery around the corner. 
 Owen also has his first job, he doesn't seem to do much "work" though.  He is working for West Haven rec department. 


 First paycheck
 Gator had to get a picture of her and her boys on National Brothers Day.  It was late at night by time everyone got home together, but she wouldn't go to bed without a picture. 
 A holiday I just about missed, Red Nose day.  All the kids were at a friends house on Thursday evening celebrating the last day of school and I got a knock at my door and opened it to these 2 adorable girls. 
 The only way Owen fits comfortably in my car.  He has to sit in the back and put the middle seat down.  Too bad we need that middle row, or we could just take the whole thing out just to fit our giant teenager. 
I love spring and the rain storms.  Thursday it was sunny and warm, but clouds blew in and we had a 5 minute downpour.  It didn't last long, but it was beautiful.

Work calls for play

We spent all day working in the yard mowing, trimming trees, cutting down a dead tree, and some major cleaning.  After all that work, there was no way I was coming in to make dinner, so we just made a party of it and had a hot dog/smore roast.  I love that about summer, fires and eating outside and hanging out together.
