Pioneer Day

We didn't do much to celebrate the pioneers coming to Utah, we were lazy...AGAIN. I went to Brigham after work on Friday for my grandpa's birthday party BBQ. Josh had to work, my mom was in Spanish Fork seeing her mom and sisters, so it was just my dad and me. It was lots of fun though. It was good to spend time with my dad. We don't do it very often, I really enjoyed it and learned lots about my dad and the dangers he used to get into at work back in his seismographing days.
I had to work the weekend so Josh and I didn't stay up too late, we didn't even watch the fireworks. I could hear them as I was lying in bed though.

We did go out and play with sparklers for a little bit until the mosquitos were attacking Josh and making him angry.

Lazy Weekend

Josh and I were lazy this weekend. We went to the pool and got some sun with Cody, Tara, and Atticus on Friday afternoon. It feels so good laying out in the warm sunshine. We didn't do much on Saturday, just hung out together which is my favorite thing to do!
Here's what our front room looked like Saturday night, we're all lazy!

Our cute furbabies

Then Josh and I decided to start playing with the shutter speed on our camera and his computer mouse. It was quite entertaining for me!
We went to see Harry Potter today with the Cody, Tara, Atty and Drew. The movie was good but they left a lot of important things out and wrote in some stuff that didn't happen in the book. Josh and I started reading the book again about a week ago. I've finished it, but together we're about half way done with it. I remember when we were first reading the book together, when it came to the part where Dumbledore dies I couldn't finish reading it. I was sobbing so Josh had to finish it while he was crying, too! That part in the movie wasn't all that great and they changed the whole scene around. I haven't been disappointed by a Harry Potter movie until this one, I mean it was still good but I think they could have done a lot better.

After the movie, we went to the pool again. It was really hot and we were only there for about 45 minutes.

It was a nice, relaxing weekend. Now I guess it's back to work. I hate work!

Little Sister's Wedding Weekend

This weekend was the wedding weekend for my little sister. The girls all got together on Friday afternoon to get mani-pedis done. It was really fun to spend the time with all us girls getting pampered. Branson came with all us girls, the poor boy! He was pretty good though. Then that night we went to the Mandarin Garden for dinner with the two families. Their wedding was at Mack Park and we had a rehearsal lunch on Saturday morning, we went through the wedding and helped get things set up. The people Chelsie and Brian hired to do the decorations were really good, the decorated the park so cute. Branson has started trying to crawl within the last couple of days. It's adorable watching him get up on his hands and knees and try to crawl! Then the wedding FINALLY came!! It was beautiful. It was kind of stressful to begin with. The wedding started an hour, that's right, ONE HOUR late because we were waiting for a very special guest to get there. Brian's best friend, Rooks, is in the Navy and has been deployed. Brian really wanted him to be his best man but Rooks wouldn't be able to do it because of his deployment. Well, Rooks called Chelsie a while ago and said that his ship was going to dock in Washington on Friday and he was going to drive as fast as he could to be here by 3 pm and he wanted it to be a surprise for Brian. He didn't end up getting there until about 4 pm. Brian was starting to get worried thinking that maybe Chelsie was getting cold feet didn't want to go through with the wedding, poor guy! We felt so bad for the officiator and all the guests who were sitting there in the heat for an extra hour. It was really special to have him there so it was totally worth it.

Let Freedom Ring

Happy 4th of July! I hope you all have a happy, fun day. I'm so grateful to live in this country and to have our freedom. I'm also thankful for our troops who protect our country and our freedom every day.

Josh and I haven't done much to celebrate the 4th. I've had to work this weekend and Josh has not been feeling well. We've just been watching the Harry Potter movies getting excited for the next one! There are so many good movies coming out, I can't wait!

I'm Proud To Be An American!
