Funny Story

So Thursday night we left a load of laundry in the dryer outside on our porch. I had forgotten this Friday morning until after I had gotten into the shower and started to get dressed. I had no pants. So being the smart one that I am, I just wrapped a towel over me so I could get the clothes out of the dryer. So I am in my towel getting the clothes out and turned to go back in and saw the door shut. I turned the handle and it was locked. What do I do now? A panic came over me. Dave is at school, my keys and phone are inside, and I have to be to work in 30 minutes. I ran over to our good friends and neighbors house to see if I could use there phone to talk to Dave and finish actually getting pants on so I looked somewhat decent. No answer. Ran back to our apartment and put my pants on behind the dryer, hopefully no one saw, then ran over to the MASA office to get some help. No good. No one is there until 10 A.M. Finally, as I was coming back, I saw Earl in the parking lot who is an RA and has keys. I yelled "Earl, I need some help!" at the top of my lungs. I am just lucky that he is nice and let me in. I finally got back to getting ready for the day 15 minutes later. What a good way to start a morning. No worries I made it to school late but on time (before first period.)

4th of July

The 4^th of July is one of my top favorite holidays! You wonder why the 4^th of July is my favorite holiday? Well you need to come to the Kaysville Parade. In fact blankets are put out at midnight the morning of July 3^rd and on parade day the blankets are soaked. But hey, we have the perfect shady spot that we have had for as long as I can remember. I love the time that I get to spend with my family.

Cute brother and sister

Diane, Grandma, and Grandpa Law

Since I love the parade so much I wanted to share the fun with my nieces and nephew.

Sarah, Bailey, Tanner

Bailey and Tanner are the bestest of friends. What cute cousins!

This is my favorite picture! What pals they are. They were so good!

There has been a family member in the parade for as long as I can remember. Dad is always the diver of one of the fire trucks, softball all-stars, band, Bowman’s, horses, and dance programs.

Papa driving the ambulance. This year there was an accident just before the water part of the parade.

The Davis High Marching Band is amazing! It is amazing because of the fantastic clarinet player on the end. The band marched in the Centerville parade earlier and also march in the 24th of July parade in Slat Lake. Go Darts!!

After the parade we always go to see dad at the station and get soaked. The kids didn't want to get wet so we took pictures and took care of all of the hurts.

Playing in the fire trucks. Tanner and Sarah want to be in the next parade. They were practicing throwing candy out the window.

In the ambulance taking care of all of their hurts and checking their hearts.

Firemen and women in training. They were so cute! Thanks papa for letting so learn so much about firemen, the trucks, and the tools you use. This was Tanner's favorite part of the parade. The kids made a killing of candy, necklaces, stuffed animals, and popsicle. What a great parade!

Of course the rest of the day continued with a small family barbeque and fireworks. I love fireworks and the music that is played! What an amazing holiday! LET FREEDOM RING!!

Summer- Where does the time go!

>

I know you guys are so excited to hear from us again! Summer has just begun for me. One of the things that I looked forward to as a school teacher was to have a three month summer with tons of fun. Well is did not happen this year and probably won’t happen next year either. School got out the end of May and I was asked/forced to teach summer school starting the Monday after school got out. I worked from 9 to 5 Monday through Friday with no breaks not even for lunch. I wasn’t too excited about the whole thing but now that I think about it, I am so very grateful for the blessing of working. There are so many people that are without a job and I am complaining that I have one. I am even more blessed because InTech Collegiate High School (the school I work for) actually had to let the other math teacher go in January. I am also grateful that I was able to do something while Dave was working.

Dave is currently working as an intern at Thermo Fisher. We were so blessed to receive this position. Dave had applied for so many jobs. He applied for jobs that were not engineering, jobs that he was over qualified for and jobs that were down in the Salt Lake area where he would be down there Monday through Friday and come home for the weekend. We are so very blessed that he found a job that is close, that he is working with engineers, and receiving some experience in what he wants to do. He is learning lots and loving it. He works 7 to 4 Monday through Friday.

Though we have had to work all summer, we have had tons of fun. We were able to get work off and go on five day cruise June 20 – June 25 to the Western Caribbean, go to the cabin at Bear Lake, Mack’s Inn, Logan canyon to roast hotdogs and play games, 4^th of July activities, and hang out with friends and family playing.

(I will try to remember to post about these activities!) We love summers!!!

We Are so bad at this blog thing
