Busy, Busy, Busy

Man, we have been non- stop busy these last few weeks. Busy doing work and mowing lawns and stuff, but also busy doing fun things as well. I'd rather be doing fun things. I guess I'll start with two weeks ago...since I haven't posted anything in a long time.

We have been spending a lot of time with our friends lately. It has been so fun. We are trying to make more time to spend with those we love. We tend to get caught up in other things that we sometimes neglect our friends. Two Fridays ago we were invited to a barbecue over at our friends Chad and Stephanie's house. They made steak and chicken kabobs. Mmm, so tasty. They just bought a house, so this was the first time we had been there. It was very nice. The only bad thing was that it was clear out in the boonies! They live in a newer development clear out in the outskirts of Eagle Mountain. It took forever to get there. We did have fun though.

Then the next day we went and saw some fireworks with our friends Dustin and Rebekah and her twin sister Amber. Before we went, Bekah and some fun curling my hair. So girlie. It is nice hanging out with them because they love Ethan. They watch him more than we do when we're all together. We went to Centennial Park for the "West Fest". It's a festival they hold in West Valley City. We didn't go on any rides or anything, but we found a nice little section of grass to chill on. Once the fireworks started we settled in and enjoyed the show...well up until the sprinklers came on! I've never seen so many people move so fast. So, we found another piece of grass to chill on. Ethan did very well with the fireworks. He actually seemed to enjoy them. All in all we had a great time.

Then to this last weekend. Independence Day weekend to be exact. Dad and Rose were in town for a few days, so we invited them to come to Sugarhouse Park with us. The park fills up fast for fireworks, so we left super early. I think we got there around 5 pm. We spent the entire evening just hanging out in the park. It was a beautiful day outside. Perfect weather. Dustin and Bekah joined us soon after we got there too. We played UNO and ate snacks and just enjoyed each others company. The fireworks were awesome. Sugarhouse always puts on a good show. Poor Camilla was so exhaused that she just konked out during the show. Sound asleep. We were out super late. We didn't get home until about 11:30 pm. Good times.

So here we are today. Back to the work week. Hopefully we can have another fun weekend this week too. That would make three fun weeks in a row!
