Wedding Shower

To finish up the girls' night, Lori curled Brittany and Bailey's hair, I put a little eye makeup on them, and they were good to go. Lori took pictures of them once we made it back down to Pleasant Grove.

We went down for Mollie Johnson's wedding shower. The shower went well (lots of games, which I thought people didn't do anymore), but grandma Backlund had some problems while I was driving us back home. She slurred her words a lot and was saying strange random sentences. Combine that with her falling again earlier that morning and her health was really bad. Her medications are going to be micromanaged to see if she is overmedicating, or to give a better idea of if she had a small stroke.



Girls Night!

Lori brought Bailey and Brittany up tonight for a Girls' Night. I thought it would be a good idea as I don't see or spend very much time with Brittany anymore. I made dinner, we played Don't Eat Frank (the Halloween version of Don't Eat Pete), and then watched a movie. They even got their nails painted - a true girls activity!

Bday Number 61

Happy birthday mom! I joined in the festivities down in Pleasant Grove. Dinner, cake, and family! Even Jon and posse came.

Dad had himself a piece of cake...before the bday girl got any!



Wheeeeee!!!

Turns out, the Alpine Coaster in Park City is alot of fun! Lori, Cody, and I had gotten our own hotel room last night and then met up with Jenny and the boys for a ride on the coaster. It has tracks on the mountain kind of like the Alpine Slide, but your buckled into a seat which is secured to the track so you won't fall off. When you're going full speed down the mountain, it feels like you're going to tip off the tracks on the curves, but once you breathe through that, the corners are so fun! Chris rode with me and never complained about how fast we were going. Micah had Jenny slow it way down and Brett caught up behind them. Fun day!

Getting on the coaster.

Jenny and Micah...with Brett and TJ coming up behind.



Park City

Brett won some time at a condo in Park City as an appreciation at work. Lori, Cody, and I joined them there for some play time. Brett grilled us steaks for dinner and then we played a charade type game where we pretty much all acted like idiots, but funny idiots! The boys had been dying all day to go outside into the hot tub. Jenny had told them they had to wait until I got there before they could. They were so cute out in it!

Chris wanted to show his muscles,
then saw the picture of himself
and said, 'look at my guns!'

Jer is very proud of his underarm hair.
He's gotten so tall and thin!

Say...Cheese!

I let a co-worker stay with me last week during the seminar so she wouldn't have to drive so far every morning and night with the long hours we were working. She found out that I like processed cheese. Guess what she brought me as a thank you?

Lori came up tonight to catch up on our TV show. I actually made dinner. Guess what it consisted of? We had cheese and broccoli soup and grilled cheese sandwiches. She was a little cheesed out, but I thought it was delish!

Fire! Fire!

The night went off in sirens and they didn't go away. I looked out the window and turns out they were all pulling up in front of the Kensington Apartment building south of my building. Flames were shooting out of the roof. It was somewhat put out, and then the firefighters were walking around on the roof and knocking it down until the flames started coming out again so they could put it all the way out. It went on from about 2 a.m. until 4 a.m. Thankfully the lack of sleep didn't affect me at Church.

I actually had some good conversation at Church today. Lots of teasing with a 30-group guy. That doesn't happen often!
