7/1 to 7/2:
Friday 7/1 we went to spend the day at Pineview. The lake level was high. We found a spot and had a nice relaxing day on the beach on a very hot day. Only Tyrell didn't come. We stopped and got cherries and raspberries on the way. On the way home we got thick shakes at the usual place.
7/3 to 7/9:
Mon, July 4th we had nothing planned but we were invited by Monica to go to her sister Claudia's home with her new rich husband in Midway. They have a nice home in a quiet place next to the Homestead golf course. The husband is very nice. We walked over to the Homestead to see where the place is that has a natural hot spring in a cave thing that is like a dome with a hole in the top like a volcano. They let people go scuba diving in it. Off in the near distance is another hill in Midway that they light fireworks from. The top of the dome has a nice view and we noticed people setting up chairs for it so Claudia decided to have everyone go back for the fireworks at 10pm. Before then we ate and lit our own fireworks. Jody lit one that shot off sideways again. It caught some weed bushes on fire in the yard but they rushed to put it out. Everyone was laughing but could have been dangerous. We watched the fireworks at 10pm from the dome hill. It was nice then we went home. I didn't work the next day Tuesday as I flexed. I worked Friday to cover for Forrest at work.
7/10 to 7/16:
Pokemon Go is all the Craze! tons of people at the park now walking around trying to catch Pokemon, kids found a phone and a charger left by people at the park! Monday we were invited to a Bishopric dinner at Winchester park. They bbq'ed burgers and hotdogs for us. Candi brought a kale salad. Some other families were there from the ward like the Campbells, Foxes, Hauets. It was nice. Candi has been taking the kids swimming to 7 Peaks a lot since she got summer passes. They like it. They go with Heather and kids. I ordered folding chairs for the deck and a deck box that they will go in from Walmart. It will save space on or under the deck when it's time pack them away for the winter. I put the box together on Saturday. Wednesday Candi, Mina and Jaxon went to Snowbird for the youth activity. They had fun. I worked from home that day. Saturday we helped Scott move into their new home in the Murray Bluffs. It is one street over from our ward boundaries but the Stake President said they can still go to Brookshire ward. It's a nice big home with a nice big yard.
7/17 to 7/23:
Monday at 6:30pm we went to the Jets & Katina's concert at UVU. We sat next to Jackson Kaka and his wife Jaiden who I found out is the daughter of Eugene Ackermann. She's a cute girl. Jackson reffed a lot of the youth sevens games and is from Temple View. They have only been married for a month and a half. The concert was mean as. A lady named Fetai was first. She sang beautiful church songs. Junior Maile sang some country songs which was nice. I didn't expect country at a poly concert so that was refreshing. The Jets were next. They sang some of old and new songs. They were funny when they were going to do 'Crush on You' they started to stretch first. They had the crowd do a lot of 80's dance moves. The older brother was pulling off some of his locking and popping moves. Tyrell, Mina and Jaxon came. They enjoyed it. The Katina's were blimmin awesome as well. They are a Samoan family of brothers that were raised pentacostal so they sing a lot of christian songs that were really nice and had good messages. They also sang a few old school r&b songs and slow jams. But the messages they shared and the lyrics of having praise, thanks and trust in the Lord were uplifting. It was a very enjoyable night. We got home after 11pm. I took the next day off so I slept in. We went to 7 Peaks Provo with Jonah and Maya and met Heather and kids. It was a hot day. The water was warm. Had a nice time.
6/17: This girl getting Tyrells face cleanser stuck in her hair!!! Had to use the scissors and cut it out of her hair!
7/24 to 7/31:
Pioneer Day was Monday the 25th since the 24th was Sunday. We broke up our old couch and chucked it away since we bought new ones. We found nice brown leather ones on ksl and bought it and a seat and ottoman for $800. This guy was selling them and we picked them up in our van and Heather's van. We also went on a hike up Little cottonwood canyon on the little cottonwood trail. Went to the river and relaxed in the nice surroundings for a bit. Just Leila and Erana came. I also strengthened the deck box I got and water proofed the inside with caulking. We went on the roof to see if there were much fireworks at night. There were some not heaps.
