Summer Stuff

We're in Las Vegas right now, melting away in the 110 degree weather. Kevin, our newest nephew, had his baby blessing last Sunday.
As you can tell, Michael enjoys Kevin. He really likes babies. The pressure is on...and from more than just him... Who knows, this could be us in a few years.

Michael can't wait to go back to Star Valley and get out of this heat, but I'd rather stay here. Hmph...compromise compromise. My parents have had him busily working on the Harry Potter room (he cut through a wall into some dead space and made a small storage room under the stairs) and both of their cars.

Here's some random pictures from this summer for the lack of anything better to post.

Olivia enjoying the water from the hose (as she sits in a puddle that an electrical cord is running through..)Fatty sandwich for such a small girl. This was at SevenPeaks a few weeks ago. Michael worked for the guy that owned the place so we got free tickets and took some family.
My birthday! With my awesome cake I made. A lot of people think it's sad that I make my own birthday cake, but for me it's sort of a tradition...I have been doing it since I was 12.

My license also expired on my birthday, and we didn't have a chance to renew it until we moved back to Wyoming. On our move up, Michael was exhausted and we were afraid he was going to fall asleep, so we switched drivers. I was driving for all of 5 minutes. The first time I have ever been pulled over I had an expired license. Great. I wasn't speeding, but my window tint is illegal in Utah (but not Nevada where it's licensed). I guess he figured he may get a drug bust or something with the suspicious dark tint and a paranoid driver that brakes around cops. He only found the two of us, and we were totally upfront about the license so he was nice and let us go!
And the newest addition to our family...Puinea! ("penny") Our guinea pig. She really enjoys grass hay, lettuce, carrots, back massages, and long walks on the beach. This was a bit of an early birthday gift for me. I have wanted a guinea pig for so long. While I was visiting in Las Vegas when Kevin was born, a family in my parents' ward was giving away this darling thing for free! Cage and all.Playing around with Jared's kids...




Shooting with Dad. I got the 10 (bullseye) at 10 yards. Don't try to rob our house!



The end.
