Weekend Of Fun

We've had a busy weekend. I've been off work since Wednesday and it's already Sunday. It went by so fast. Here's the rundown.

Wednesday: We took Lew to the MTC (pictures will come later). It was a hard one for me. He will be greatly missed.

Thursday: We got this bright idea to hike Lewis Peak (near the North Ogden Divide). Russ, my dad, Ty, and myself got up early and went. The good news is that no one died. The bad news is we all felt like we wanted to when we were done :) But we did make it to the top. While we were up there Jay called. He went into his front yard (in Plain City) and flashed a mirror at us. We thought it was so cool we could see the flash from the mirror, however no one thought it was so cool that we could just pick up the cell phone and talk to him way down there in Plain City. Anyone see the irony? :)


Friday: Happy 4th! We went out to spend the day in Plain City.
We watched the parade that morning. Afterwards we had our traditional family breakfast.
Dallin got some watermelon. He loves it. He got a little sticky, so Grandma Tana gave him a bath in her kitchen sink. He loves baths.
I was afraid Dallin would be scared of the loud fireworks, but he was mesmerized by them. He was such a good baby all day long. We never did take him to the Square, but Russ and I stopped by for a little bit while he napped.

Saturday: We headed to Coalville to visit Russ's family and to have some Dutch oven cooking. Unfortunately Dallin was not so good on Saturday. I think it was because he didn't get a long enough morning nap. (He did have some happy times, as the pictures show)

Mandie did finally get him to sleep that afternoon, after about 20 minutes of crying. Yeah Mandie!!! And when he woke up he was much happier.

Sunday: I think we will just hang out at home and prepare to go to work tomorrow. It's PIE Sunday at our house, so that means family time. Hope everyone else had a good Fourth.

Are you guys ready for the Grand Canyon? Looks like the 4th was pretty fun. I was thinking, if I don't see Dallin until Thanksgiving, he will be 1 year old!!! Just a sad little thought for you.

Wow Nicole, that's a lot. I don't even know where to begin my comment. I think it's awesome that you could see Jay shine a mirror from clear up on a mountain....I almost want to go hike a mountain now just so I can witness such an event. Oh and I have a cute picture of Dallin with the dog from the breakfast. I will have to send it to you.
