Summer '08

My posts have been lacking because I have blog guilt, mostly because Josh reads them and then thinks that all I did was sit at the computer and blog all day, so I have to hurry, which is one of the many reasons that my blog is lacking in creative posts.
Makay is crawling backwards and kind of does this inchworm thing to go forwards. He's not very fast but, he can get what he wants most of the time.
This is Milo throwing a ball at the dunking booth at Grandpa's work party. Grandpa was the one on the seat. Erica has a better action photo of dad actually in the water. It was a fundraiser for a home building charity that he is part of.



This is dad waiting to be dunked. It was pretty funny! He had to be on there for 10 minutes and they charged $1 per throw. He got dunked easily over 10 times, I lost count. This work party is one of our favorite summer traditions, especially since Josh's work has no summer parties, and the Christmas party is at the Chuckarama, if we're lucky, it was at the golden corral last year:(
I would love to buy a new Christmas dress, so if any of you want to invite us to your formal dinner and dancing style work parties, we're there.
For the most part this has been an awesome summer. Josh Graduated, the weather has been pleasantly not too hot, we have been having some fun. We even went kayaking down the Provo river...I totally wrecked into a bridge and dumped over in the river some girl on a tube had to come help me get the kayak out of the water cause it was full of water. I was thinking I want to do a bigger river, but maybe I should practice going under bridges a couple of more times before I set out for bigger rivers.
The fun still on my agenda is, I want to go up to the Alpine Slide in Park City, and make one more trip to lake Powell since it is no longer freezing cold down there, go on at least one date with Josh, and maybe even go to a movie. When it cools down a bit, I want to go to Lagoon and the Zoo with the kids too. I doubt this will all happen, but here's to wishing.
(sorry my pictures are so terrible, my camera is lost and i have been taking them on my phone, go Motorolla Razor.)

How fun! I love a good summer party. After all isn't that what summer is all about?
I was reading your previous post. I'm sorry that stinks. But I have to say that sounds pretty cool, a free snow cone anytime you want. My kids would go have daily request for that!

We were so, so grateful you guys stopped by Sunday. What great friends you are! You all looked great. We really enjoyed the visit. As for the post, I enjoyed the picture of Phil in the dunking booth. And I know you already told me the provo river story, but I admit I had already forgotten it because when you had told me the story I think I was distracted by dinner! Funny story! I wish I was a better multi-tasker...
