Welcome Jaslene...

My sweet cousin Lauren had her baby girl last Monday. I am an only child, so she is about the closest thing I have to a sister and I am so excited for her and her little girl that will be in the same grade and just a few months younger than Owen! She came in at a teeny tiny 6 pounds 10 ounces and not quite as much hair as we expected. She has the most beautiful rosy red lips I've ever seen on a baby.

I love this picture because A. Owen looks so big! and B. Owen looks like baby eating monster.

Memories....please.

Time for some memories! Here are the rules.1. As a comment on my blog, leave a memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you know me a little or a lot, anything you remember! If we're only blogging friends, write about a post that is most memorable. If you don't have a blog and don't know how to sign in, please comment as anonymous.2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll be sure to write one about you... either on your blog, in my comment box, or I will email you back!3. If you can't say something nice, don't say nothin' at all!

and of course...the 4th of July

The fourth was tons of fun. We went swimming, and Owen was just chillin in his shades...thanks to Grandma Cyndee and Grandma Great for inviting us!

We hung out with my mom and the "tias"

Had a BBQ at Steve's Bro's (many thanks MattJules)

Owen was hypnotized by the fireworks display (once again, thanks mattjules)

I posted this pic because my little niece got glasses! Sara? Heather? Cas? Doesn't she look familiar? ("You Stink Justin Matisse!")

And to make the day EVEN BETTER Owen started crawling! What enticed him you ask? A coke can. like father, like son.

Summer so far....

I love summer!! It really is the season of family get togethers and lots of fun!
We went up to Millcreek Canyon a couple of weeks ago and had a little fire and such...


Owen went for his first swim! He loves the water and loves to splash! We went to Park City for a night and had fun swimming, shopping ....

and randomly rode on a carousel (the lady behind me is a neighbor from 4 years ago I bumped into her and anyway...)

We have gone to Ruth's Diner a couple of times. I love this place! There are three really good things about it...1. Over the top rolls with their homemade jam (yes I am salivating now) 2. the patio in the back is so nice and shady and 3. Thursday nights "the Stoddard Brothers" are there singing and it is also BBQ night so it is like a fun party. I love it. As a warning to all, apparently they do not combine numbers 1 and 3. I was a little bummed, but I moved on.

I am looking forward to many more fun times in these next two months, but just wanted to share!

Steve's Claim to Fame

If you didn't already see it in the paper, click the link to check out the article. It's mostly about the tournament, but Steve is quoted as saying

"What I liked about this event was the [integrity]," West Jordan's Steve Seare said. Seare was joined by his co-workers (Salt Lake's Richard Lee, Sandy's Gary Gordon, and Lehi's Adam Thurman) from Uinta Golf stores.

I thought the quote was kind of funny...Integrity? But his picture and name are in the paper, so who cares what he said? WAY TO BE FAMOUS STEVE!
