Reunion Day 3

I started the day by getting ready to head to work. Even though my family was in town and I mentioned to my work that I was taking this day off. I still went in for a few hours because we had a staff meeting. Me being the Office Manager I felt I needed to be there.

ANYWAYS......

Once I got home Tanya and her family were there and we all went to wal-mart to get food and stuff for our day up American Fork Canyon. We were there for quite awhile. We ended up going to a fast food restaurant for lunch even though we packed food for the day. HA-HA. O'well. Once we were finished with lunch we headed up to the canyon. We went to a large lake where we all played, fished, hung out and swat away bees. They were especially attracted to me. I'm thinking it was from my tanning sun screen. That's the only conclusion I could come up with since I was being swarmed the most. Ha-Ha!. Well, as the day went on we started to get tired. After a few hours we packed up and head back to my house. My sister and I took the kids to the park to let me run their little selves tired and then we went back inside for Jeff was making dinner. He is an amazing cook by the way. We ate dinner and then everyone left. We sat around the rest of the night talking and laughing until it was time for bed. My dad was leaving early the next morning so I said my goodbyes that night. I told him to tap on my door in the morning and if I heard it I would get up to say goodbye again. Well, when 3am came around I heard this BANG BANG on my door. Yeah, NICE TAP Dad. Obviously I heard it. So, I got up and said my last goodbyes and they headed back to Minnesota. It was such a fun weekend. We were constantly doing something and I enjoyed every minute of it. Until next time.

Family Reunion Day 2

So, today we got up went out for breakfast (Sunday I know that's bad!!!) and then headed back to Tanya's. When we got there My Dad, Tanya and I went to Albertsons to get "tons" of food for a little family bbq we were going to put on later that night. When we got back Brenton was teaching all the kids how to play baseball. I was way surprised at how good the kids could hit. With a plastic ball and bat. It was amazing. One of my brothers son, Jared who is 7, could hit the farthest. He was really good. So the night went on and we ate and all sat around and talked. We really didn't do anything "exciting" but it was a lot of fun to sit around and talk with all my family. At about 10 we left to head back to my house for the night. On our way home we had to take a detour because there was a terrible accident in Cedar Fort. Don't think it's really my place to describe the accident on my blog so we will leave it at that.

Family Reunion Day 1

Last weekend was such a blast. It started when I got a voicemail from my oldest bro Jeff telling me that I need to give Dad a call. I was so worried. Great...what happened? So I call my dad and he just wants to know how I was doing and what I was doing for the weekend. I told him we were probably doing the usual. "NOTHING". So he said, "Good, because Jeff and I are going to come down there for a few days". I was SOOOOO excited. I haven't seen my dad in a little over a year. And I haven't seen my bro Jeff since Aug of 2005. This was awesome!!! So, they arrived around noon on Saturday. We met them at the JCW down the street from my apartment. My brother brought to of his kids. Audrey and Sky who I haven't seen since that last time I saw him. It was cool. Sky, who is now 10, is a bit taller than me. Pretty funny. Then there's Audrey who is 6 going on 13. I can't believe how much they have grown. So, anyways, we ate lunch went to my place to show them around and then headed of to my sister, Tanya, in Tooele. We spend hours contemplating what we were going to do the rest of the evening. We ended up going to a water park there in Tooele. It was fun and the kids all had a blast. But, then it started to thunderstorm so we packed up to head back to Tanya's. While getting in the car the lightning was getting really close. Once it struck right above my car. Brenton was standing outside the car and the thunder cracked so load we all jumped and Brenton hit the deck. It was really scary. On the drive back to Tanya's we saw lightning hit the field just north of us and the field started on fire. It was crazy. Once we got to Tanya's we hung out for a bit and then we left to head back to my house for the night. It was a fun day.

Tyler Birthday Party!!!

Well, it all started when we woke up to go shopping. YEAH!! We go to get drinks and stuff and I take off with Logan to pick up Tyler's birthday cake. When the lady brought it out...Logan thought it was "AWESOME". I told him that it was a secret and "not" to tell Tyler, for it was a surprise. So we headed off to pay. The cake was like $10 more than it was quoted and I just ended up paying for it because I didn't have time to chat about the price...=) I stopped by the customer service office to get some extra bags to cover the cake so Tyler wouldn't be able to see it. Then we go to find Tyler and Brenton. We finally spot them and head there way. Logan was so excited and yelled out. "TYLER you have to see your army cake...it's SO COOL". Well, it was "supposed" to be a surprise for him. THANKS BUD!!! So anyway, we pay for all the other stuff and then head to go get the pizza. We get that and head home to pack up the truck and head to the park. We set up the table cloths (army) and me and Gma Parry had to duck tape it to the table because it was so windy. Meanwhile Brenton & Gpa Parry are getting the jumping castles blown up. I was so excited. So, we were a park with some jumping castles. I thought for sure they would rather jump. Nope, I was wrong. Everyone ran straight to the park. O'well. It was still fun to have it set up. Made me feel cool. =) So, after everyone played and ate we cut the cake and Tyler opened all his birthday gifts. Since he was starting school in a month he got a TON of cloths. Thanks Gma Parry. He loves his new outfits! He got some toys and other stuff. He had a blast and I am sure everyone else did as well.

PICTURES COMING SOON!!!

Registration "K"

So, we registered Tyler for kindergarten. He is so excited to go to school. He doesn't start until Aug 26th. So to get him ready we had to go get his kindergarten shots. He had to get 5 total shots. OUCH!!! I felt so bad for him. He got 2 in his left leg, 2 in left arm and 1 in his right arm. Poor guy. We ended up getting Logan 1 shot in his left leg. Figure since we were already there might as well get him the shots he needed as well.
Anyways, so I can't believe that I have a kid going to school. It's crazy how fast time passes. Pretty soon he will be in Junior High. I am so SAD...=(

Well, I will definitely update on his first days.
