Weekend in Review

A lady on one of my soccer teams was looking for kids to work at her Shaved Ice Shack so Austin thought he would like to do that. He had to get his food handlers permit to work there so he went on Friday morning and only missed one question after only having Thursday night to study. He was bummed that he didn't get them all right. Erin can work there too as soon as she gets her permit.

Randy had the kids this weekend and when he got home it was good to see that Garrison had gotten his cast off. Now he has to get used to being right handed again.

Randy and I had two games on Friday night. Randy did great even though he doesn't think so. But everyone on the team keeps telling me how good he is doing. I think he likes it more than he is willing to admit. Our second game was at 11 at night and I was exhausted by the time it was over. It was my 6th game for the week.

It was Clinton city days so we walked over to watch the parade. I swear it was the longest parade ever. I actually had to leave after 45 minutes because I needed to go pick up Erin from Camp Utaba where she had been the last week. After Erin and I got back I took all the kids up to the Shaved Ice Shack to see Austin and we all got some shaved ice. I could get addicted to that stuff. Then I took Garrison and Sophie over to the booths and carnival for Clinton city. They both played a game throwing ping pongs in fish bowls so that they could win a fish. They both got two fish so they were really happy. And the lady that Austin works for was at another booth at the carnival and gave them both free Shaved ice cups. They thought that was really cool.
I went to dinner with some girls from soccer and Randy took his kids back to the booths for dinner. After dinner Austin, Erin and his girlfriend met me and Randy and his kids for Fireworks. They were really good.

Sunday we all slept in and then went to breakfast. Randy got the kids bike's down so they were riding bikes and then after I went to visit my dad with my mom and brother, Randy and the kids met us for dinner. We went to my mom's house afterwards to see the huge pine tree that my brother, mom and his friend Matt cut down the day before.

Happy 4th of July

Thanks to all our troops who serve our country and their families.

Hope everyone is having a great Holiday. We got up and went to the parade this morning in Clearfield. Garrison and Sophie got a lot of candy. Then we went over to the Layton booths a little later and walked around and ate over there. We went and fed the ducks the rest of Sophie's bun from her sandwhich. We are planning on going over to the fireworks in Clearfield with John and Rebecca later. I love fireworks

Camping at the West Fork of the Black Fork River

We took off a week of work to go camping Monday thru Thursday. I am glad we did. I think the Holiday weekend would have been very crowded judging by all the trailers driving the opposite direction as us when we came home. We had a good time. We stayed at the very same spot that we did last year when we went with John, Rebecca and Jackie over Labor Day weekend. All the kids went so the trailer was a little crowded but that is okay. It was nice to have them all there. And the dogs Izzy and Tazzy went too. Erin, Garrison and Sophie all floated in the river and we all went on the four-wheelers for a ride. Even Austin. I kinda had to make him go he didn't really want too. The kids caught frogs and tadpoles. The weather was kinda weird. The sun would come out and then a few minutes later it would start blowing and raining. And then it would stop again and the rain would come out. Randy wanted to stay until Friday but the rest of us were ready to come home of Thursday. I am not sure when we are going camping again but I wouldn't mind going there again.
