We were

sad to see Dan go home today.  We sent him off with a pancake breakfast.    He'll come back in a little less than 2 weeks to drive the family home.



In the meantime we went to church and then went up the canyon to check out the spot for the Anderson Reunion next week.  

 Then Gary and I went over to the school to play kickball with the boys.  When we came home we sat outside on the swing.  That was an everyday thing with Mom and Dad in the summer when the grandkids were there.  I love the feeling of just being able to relax and enjoy the kids and summer.  Part of what made it nice today is that we've had a series of thunderstorms that roll through just long enough to cool everything off.  

Mashall is being my little snuggle buddy and helper.  He likes things organized and took it upon himself to put the lids on the cups and add the straws.

Life is Good.

Everyone kicking back

after golfing and shopping.

Then Misty and Dan went to her 20th year class reunion.  Natalie and Lydia went to a movie,  And Gary and I took the boys miniature golfing.

Pamper day

 Marshall came on an errand from Gary.

He's showing me Grandpas disgusting toenail.

 Marshall is very into Orange everything.

He wanted the orange polish.

 Lydia went with nails.

 Misty with a pedicure.

 And Gary just as pleased as punch to get a pedicure.

(poor nail girl)

Happy 4th of July!

Yeah!

 

We were talking with

Natalie on Sunday and she said she had made a list of 30 things she wants to do before she is 30.   One of the first things on her list is to sky dive.   If she does it, I told her to tell me after but not before.

It got me thinking that maybe I should come up with 60 things I want to do before I'm 60 (6 months away). I can assure you that sky diving will not be on the list!

Our fun July is

just about ready to start!   The Bishops are starting the long drive here tomorrow evening.  They drive through the night, which makes me nervous, but will be here sometime Wednesday.  Then the fun begins.

I've had to really itemize the calendar as there are a lot of comings and goings and coming backs involved, but basically we will be enjoying lots of family during the month of July.  

Now if it would only cool down a little it would be perfect.
