Bear Lake and Bees

Another busy weekend for us! Casey finally finished his grandma's roof, so on Friday we set out for Bear lake with my sisters and the kids! We got to bear lake around 2, and stayed for a few hours on the beach. We stopped at the store before we drove up and got lots of snacks, drinks, and items for sandwiches! We had such a fun time playing in the water! Casey played in the water with the kids, with the huge floaty toys my mom bought for the kids, and I got my tan on! The boys played so hard! They just loved running around, playing in the sand and in the water! It was fun to watch them!! I'm glad we all got to go together!

As soon and Casey got up, Scooter was right there in his spot!!

Saturday we really wanted to go camping, but I don't think anyone really wanted to go over Pioneer day weekend, but we did get invited to another Bee's game with one of Casey's best friends, Kevin and his wife Lyndie. I wasn't all that thrilled to go to another bee's game so quick, but this one was ok because it had the Fireworks after the game, and we were right under them, so it was tons of fun! And my honey was so good to me before the game, we walked around the Gateway, and he bought me and pair of pants and a shirt, and didn't complain about it at all! After we went shopping, we ate dinner at the California Pizza Kitchen, and then continued on to the game. At first it was so swealtering hot! But was so nice when the sun went down! We also ran into our good friends Tom and Sam at the game, it was so fun to see them! We had a good time together, and I'm happy to be spending some time with my sweetheart, since he has been so busy I feel like I hardly see him, so all this time together is awesome!!

Caves, Baseball, and Mom's 50th

Well last weekend was a busy one for me and Casey! Casey has been working so hard these last couple of weeks, he goes to work at the office, comes home and goes straight to his Grandma Jorgensen's to re-do her roof, coming home at 9 or 930, so he has been putting in very long hours! But while he works, I work a little, and then play alot! Last week I took my niece Kylee, and my nephew Wyatt hiking up to the Wind Caves up Logan Canyon. It was Wyatt's first time hiking, and he hated it at first, but once we got to the top he loved it! He thought it was like the coolest thing ever, he didn't want to leave. I guess it was a little learning experiance for him, that work can be hard, but in the end it's worth it!

Friday night on the 16th, we went down to Salt lake to the bee's game with our friends Holly and J'Dee, and picked Tom and Sam up on the way, and met Kraig and Kourtney there with their cute little baby boy! We had such a good time catching up, and not really watching the game! After the game we all felt like we needed some ice cream so we went to Baskin Robbins, and I ate a yummy American Birthday Cake flavored ice cream! Casey and I had a blast and hope we can get together again soon!!

My Sweetheart.

Saturday I spent the day with my sisters getting last minute preparations for our mom's surprise 50th birthday party the following day. We had to pick up 65 balloons, which was pretty fun packing into our cars!

Finally Sunday, the day we had long prepared for was finally here! But first Casey and I had to attend Derick "Bubba" Pond's mission farewell, his older sister Kalei is a dear friend of mine (and she is also pregnant, I'm so excited for her and Dave!!!), and I haven't seen her in so long, so we finally got to get together and visit! Bubba's talk was really great, and he was about to make Chelsie and I cry! It was such a fun time, and Kalei, and kalei's mom Julie, and whoever else that helped, made a yummy lunch for all who attended!

We held my mom's party at a neighbors barn with a large loft, and decorated the theme as a Black and White party. We also put on the invitations (Which my very good friend Chelsie designed so amazingly!! Don't know what we would have done without her!!) That everyone please wear only black and white! Which everyone did! It looked so awesome and classy! My mom wore pink so that she stuck out, and so many people came to wish her a Happy 50th, I think she had a really great time!! We had also made a movie for her, and instead just interviewing people like we've done in the past, I had the idea of acting out in skits recreated all of my mom's quirky little sayings, and it turned out so funny, when we watched we were all laughing so hard that we were crying! Happy 50th mom!!

4th of July Weekend

Well first of all I have to brag about my awesome husband! Last month was both of our birthdays, and he is such a sweetie! I have been wanting for so long, a big black shelf for my blank wall in my kitchen, and a crafty ladder! Casey is so talented in so many ways! Although he works in an office now, he still knows how to use his hands and build things! So for my birthday, my honey built me a shelf and ladder! And he also got me a pair of black chacos! He's so good to me! Thanks honey!!

Now for our 4th of July Celebrations! The night the Logan fireworks were going on, Casey me, and Amanda just decided to see a movie instead, we saw The Grown ups! And I have to say, I love it!! I highly suggest you all see it!!

Saturday morning Casey did the freedom run, and did awesome! He ran 9.3 miles in about an hour and 2 minutes! I'm very proud of him! But of course I forgot my camera so I don't have any pictures of him finishing! After that we joined his family for a little 4th of July brunch, and watched some old family videos! Casey was a cute little tyke!

Every year my family and my parents' neighbors park a trailer in front of the Logan Library, and we all bring pot luck, and watch the cruise in while enjoying so great food! Although this year we just had some pizza, but it was fun anyhow! After the cruise in, our friends Kacee and her husband Zack picked us up in their great big truck, and we cruised up and down main street a few times, and then went home and watched a movie together. Casey has been working so hard lately, with his normal day job, and then a side job roofing his grandma's house, so he was beat tired, and we didn't stay out too long.

Sunday on the 4th, we were invited to the Karigouli's house for a fun BBQ! Tons of people I work with at Mt. Crest were there, so we had a good time socializing! After that we went to my parents' house for fireworks! Casey was the lighter, and he had 4 sidekicks to help him out!! My grandma was able to come and watch the fireworks too which was awesome becuase she has been in the Transitional Care Unit since she had another Heart Attack. But we were very happy she was able to join us! She gets to come home Tuesday!

Monday we went to the parade like we do every year, and although I was a little disapointed with the parade, it was very entertaining to see my young nephews Wyatt and Tate excited about getting candy! After the parade, my adoring husband took me to lunch at Bajio, and then to a movie called Knight and Day, and I LOVED it! My parents and Casey's mom met us there, and it was a good time! We also saw Eclipse later that night too, so we had a leisurely day! After Eclipse we picked up Scooter and headed over to the Hyrum fireworks. Which sucked. And that's all I'll say about that! But all in all it was a very fun weekend, I'm so glad I go to spend some time with Casey, he has been so busy, it was fun to be with him all weekend, and I love that I got to spend time with my family too! Hope you all enjoyed your 4th!!
