I must share this.

Not going anywhere for a while? These guys have a great solution for boredom. Someone show this to Sheriff Joe.

Curse you, Stephenie Meyer


Sigh... I decided I'd check out what all the hype was about, and MAN am I hooked. I thought I would be able to casually read this Twilight book until we went to the beach, and be able to save the new Harry Potter for then...but now that I've read 250 pages of this book, plus the alternate first chapter from Edward, and gotten absolutely nothing done the last 24 hours, I see that it's not going to last that long! Sheesh! How many books are in this series anyway? Someone please give me the 411...

Now that the Independence Day celebrations are over we can turn our attention to July 15. It is a good day. Let all be reminded of the pain of one of my birthday parties of the past.
My mother invited my third cousin Bryon (Aunt Kippy's grandson) to my birthday party that year. I did not want him to come because he did not have a present for me. Mother won that arguement. I never liked Bryon much after that. First, he came and he was not even a close friend--even though he and I were roughly the same age. He could have done a lot more than he did. Looking back, it was probably a little hard for him...being about five years old.
Oh well, I got my stuff. In a day or two all the toys were broken and we went back to normal things.
Let's not let that happen again, eh?

Yeah America! This is true Patriotism...

Joey Chestnut


American wins hot dog title over 6-time Japanese champ!

Chestnut, the great red, white and blue hope in the annual Fourth of July competition, broke his own world record by inhaling 66 hot dogs in 12 minutes...

The 4th in Heber

We had a good time with the Davis'.....you know to expect good food when you are in their company and good food there was. The fireworks were great....we didn't get "shrapnelled" with the ashes like we did last year, but they were great nonetheless. Here are a few pic highlights.... Addie, drinking air from her sippy.

Allison and Amanda having fun with their cousins....I don't know who ended up with the most glow stick tiaras, belts, anklets or bracelets, but I am sure they were counting.

Landon and Addie love to play together and scream together....whatever one has, the other wants.

Even though naptime was a scream contest, by the end of the trip they were so worn out we didn't even hear a peep before they snoozed off.
We had fun...can't wait until next year!
