4th of July!

To start the festivities we went to our ward breakfast, it was fun to see everyone and have the bicycle parade. We then went to the Kaysville parade, it just would not be the 4th without the Kaysville parade to enjoy. Then it was home to nap away!! Love nap time. Then we had a few friends over for a front yard BBQ, our back yard is a jungle of weeds. It is so fun to see everyone and have such a fun day.

Here is Georgie throwing his snaps!

Here is the kiddies on a wagon ride, what is the 4th without a wagon ride!?!

Long Pointies!!

The title of this post goes out to all those who have seen Damitri Martin. He is a new comedian that I think is hilarious!! You can see him on You Tube, he has a swear word here and there but altogether pretty clean and very funny!! Check him out.

Here is Scarlet enjoying her long pointies!!

Team Swoobs!!

This last weekend I got the chance to run in the Wasatch Back Relay Race. It was quite the experience. I was runner number 1 so I started the race in Logan, my second leg was running down Trappers Loop and my last one was running from Rockport into Oakley. My total distance was 19.5 miles and I ran all the freaking miles, I don't think there is a way to describe the accomplishment. I have never had that feeling it is not like having kids or graduating. It is a different feeling altogether, I think everyone should do something like this in their life. I am all into running now and I love it. I also love all the girls I ran with what a ball we had. I wish I had more pictures but these are not even mine I was too tired to even try to get my camera out, how lazy am I?? But I hope you all take on my challenge to do something like this before you die.

This is us getting ready to head up to Logan. Don't we all look refreshed and rested!!!This is my grandma and grandpa, they live in Logan and came to see us start out the race!!

This is after the race, we are all ready to go home. We got no sleep and ran all night long.

Customer Service

I am a big advocate for Customer Service and these days it seems like it is going out the window!! But when I receive great service I am going to tell everyone about it because those companies who still believe in it I would like to give them credit.
I ordered a swimsuit from Athleta and took it to Hawaii. While swimming I realised that it was stretching out. I have been going back and forth on what to do, because most of the time the companies will just laugh at you if you have already worn it. I gave them a call and they said no problem and are shipping out a new top and not charging me for the return shipping!! Just wanted to let you all know that they are fantastic and I would recommend them to anyone!!

Privacy!!

I got an e-mail from a friend asking me to change their name from their last name to their first name, on my blog links. I really did not think about it so I am sorry to anyone that did not want their last name shared in the blogging world. So I have gone and changed everyones to thier first names. If you would rather your Social Security Number I can put that on there instead of your first name or last name. Sorry to all those that did not want their names out there, I really did not think about it.

Bit-O-Surgery

George is on some medications. His main anti-rejection medication has a side effect that makes his gums expand and they have grown so much they nearly cover his teeth. His back teeth were almost covered, the periodontist said that he was not even touching teeth, he was tissue on tissue. So as you can imagine it was very hard for him to eat and effected some of his speech. We had a gingivectomy(Spelling!?!) done on Thursday and it is still so weird to see him with teeth. Here is a before and after picture!! He seriously is the cutest, I know I am a little bias!!

So here is the before!!

And the after, I could just kiss him!

He is a champ on Friday, the day after surgery, he wanted a sandwich! I would still be crying about how much I hurt.

New York!

We just got back from New York and it was a blast!! I went with my mom, Randi, Shawn, grandma, aunts and cousins. It was so much fun to get to know everyone better. Randi made the itinerary and there was a quote she found it said if you want to get to know someone go shopping with them. Well we did and I know them pretty good!!

Randi-Brrring Brrring the 80's Called, they want their scrunchy back!

Shawn-We prefer to call her Seo. She really liked the service at Mama Mexico!?!

Nancy-She is just very curious about the way people sit at the Bountiful Bubble.

Steph-She really likes standing out in the rain for a cab and especially when a vendor dumps their umbrella on her!!

Laurie-She gets really excited to ride in a limo! So easy going!!

Jami-Got to shop for cute baby girl stuff!!

Laci-What can I say, a delight to be around!!

Jeanette-Always had a good story to tell!!

Whitney-Likes trying new foods at dinner.

Grandma-Really quite funny and a ball to be around!

I want to give a shout out to my grandma, one of the greatest people I know!! While we were there I learned so much about her, she is the kindest most open minded person I have ever known. I have never heard her say one rude thing about anyone and she is so accepting of others and understanding. On our last day in New York we got some tragic news my uncle, her son, passed away at the age of 46. It was a shock to us all but the way she handled it was amazing. She had a breakdown and cried but she was still so selfless and wanted to go get cupcakes at Magnolia Bakery. I told her this many times, but it is true when I grow up I want to be my Grandma, I love you.

We found a cute little Cafe to eat at in SoHo. I think we are going to find Shawn and Zach a place to live there.

This is my $10 Cappuchino cup from Dean and Deluca, it was the yummiest chocolate I have ever had.

Enjoying our breakfast at Dean and Deluca, ready for another day of shopping.

We went and got Sushi one night and at midnight it was Steph's birthday so they brought her a cup of ice cream with a trick candle we were all deliciously tired so it was the funniest thing we have ever seen!!

Our Limo ride to see our shows!!

In Grand Central Station, what a neat building.

Do I need to comment on this!?!
