The 3rd Annual Icecream party

Every year before school starts back up Mike and I host an icecream party for all of the couples in our ward. This year's party was last friday night, and word has really gotten out. We had fourty-seven people in our backyard and ended up running out of icecream. I guess people fill obligated to go when you're the Elder's quorum president. For a short bit of time we felt like we actually have a lot of friends, until Monday night came around and we couldn't get anyone to come to the Bees game with us. Even our family turned us down.

Softball

Softball officially ended a couple of weeks ago, but most of our summer was spent attending softball games. Mike participated in two leagues this summer. His Monday night league was in third place, but his friday night league didn't do so hot, they needed Ross in both leagues. One great accomplishment was that Mikey hit a home run over the fence ( no asterisk will be needed in the record books).

Football Season has started

So this last week has been pretty slow. This is the reason I was hesitant to start the blog because my life can be pretty boring. However, I will recap my week so our lovely friends and family can hear what we did. Last week Mike invited Jackson, our nephew, to sleep over. I think Mikey had as much fun as Jackson. They keep each other entertained with baseball and watching the Key Bank tower fall to the ground. Sunday we had the whole family for dinner, which turned out to be a success. I really enjoyed the triple chocolate cake, yummy. After the dinner we went over to some friends and I learned the fine art of Fantasy Football as Mike assisted Ross in the Fantasy Football draft. Monday night we watched the rematch of the Super Bowl for Ross’s birthday party (The Colts against The Bears for my sisters that have no idea who played in the super bowl). After about five minutes of the game I won my victory and got all the wives to go shopping and I bought a really cute shirt. On Wednesday Mike started school, which will keep him busy until about mid-December. Also our new niece was dilvered the week. Last night we went a saw Oceans 13. I would recommend it to those of you who haven’t seen it. It is better then the second, but not as great as the first one. That was our week nothing too exciting.

Homemade Icecream

We finally broke out dad’s birthday present (which is in March) while he has on vacation. Kellie, Mike and I made homemade ice-cream in the hamster ball. Well it wasn’t a hamster ball, but it looks like one. If you do this activity with kids they will enjoy it for about five minutes and then turn it over to the adults for the remaining twenty-five minutes. The ice-cream did turn out to be delicious. We will have to do it again sometime. Dad when are you going to make brownies in your father’s day gift? I volunteer to eat them.

Thanks!

This is a picture of my mom, Heidi and Randy visiting me after my surgery. During July I had surgery on my Pilonidal cyst which is located on the end of your tailbone. Mine kept getting infected, so the doctors decided to remove it. Thanks everyone for your love, visits and gifts while I was getting better.

Climbing

Before the butt problem Mike and I enjoyed rock climbing. Hopefully we can go out fairly soon!

Look at that butt before the butt job!
Spiderman!

24th of July

Why should I have kids when I already have my little Mikey!

The kids were patiently waiting for the fireworks to begin.

Seattle Trip

Most of you have heard about our vacation, but here are a few pictures.

Mom & Dad thought that the baseball game was going to be Mike's highlight, but during the middle of whale watching Mike told me that whale watching was better then the baseball game.

It was so much fun to hang out with Launie for a few days in Victoria

The fairy left at 6:00 am in the morning which means we woke up at 4:00 am. I was a bit tired that day.

This is beaver lake it is completely full of water lilies. It was a remarkable sight that can't be expressed in a photo.

We think this picture should be an official postcard by Michael


Mom and Dad completely surprised both of us by taking us to the baseball game. We had a blast watching Ichiro play.
