Chalk up another one

My niece Jamie has got bun #3 in the oven. Congrats to her and Aaron. This brings the total up to 6 great-grandkids for my parents. Bradley said "Jamie's pregnant again? Wow, that makes three in a row!" There's no denying logic that strong.

Lagoon, sans crowd!

We had the best day at Lagoon yesterday! The temperature was high 70's and the crowds were so light that we were able to walk on the rides. The kids got to go on everything they wanted to except for Wicked. It broke down and never re-opened.

Makenzie went on The Rocket for the first time. Her friend Taylor made her. She liked The Rocket, but has declared The Spider as her favorite ride for 2008. In turn, Makenzie dragged Taylor on a Tidal Wave/Wild Mouse/Colossus trifecta and got him turning green. This was our best Lagoon trip of 2008, so far. Can't wait for Frightmares!

Big Cottonwood Canyon

We met Darren's family up at Storm Mountain picnic area for our some-what monthly get-together. It was the perfect day for it. Great site! We celebrated two college graduations and numerous birthdays. Good food as always and a fun time had by all.

What a mouth!

Tonight at Dinner.....

Bradley: I hope me and Dad can go play a game of golf soon.
Jordan: Well, that's not going to happen.

Why is it that the youngest is always the mouthiest?

Happy Birthday Darren!

Darren turned the big 40 today.

After opening presents with the kids, we celebrated by going to dinner with a group of friends at La Puente. The Mariachi band serenaded Darren with a rendition of Happy Birthday and then Stairway to Heaven by request. We laughed our butts off and had a great time.

Happy Birthday Hubby!

Back to school we go!

Here's Makenzie and her friend Taylor heading off for their first day of 8th grade. They think it's awesome not being the new kids on the block (freshman) anymore. Umm, did these two call each other to coordinate outfits? I'm scared.

Jordan starts 2nd grade

Brad - Top Dog of Bennion Elementary as a 6th grader

Brad and Jordan indulging mom with one last picture.

In case you're wondering about Brad's shirt, yes, it's a ribcage but what makes it so Brad-esque is that it has game controls and other assorted gaming equipment encased and entangled throughout.

Remembering Randee Sue

Randee Sue would be 21 years old today. She was so very sweet and we deeply miss her.
