Megan's 7th Birthday

Happy Birthday Megan!!! JoJo had her 7th birthday yesterday. She had a friend party in the morning and a family party in the evening. Two parties in one day is great. Megs chose to eat at Tepanyaki for dinner, kind of like Beni Hana's for those outside of Utah. The night before the girls stayed up while Megan was asleep and they decorated her room and the house. It was a fun day for Megan.

Relay for Life

We just had our annual, American Cancer Society's Relay for Life for the South Valley area. It was a great time. We had a lot bigger turn out this year than last. Overall, we raised about the same amount, but this year we raise nearly $6,000 just at the event. I lot of stress is behind me now. This was my last year running the thing (with contributions from Jeff), but I'm going to be off the committee this next year for sure. Tara and I will do a team again though. Anyway, it was a fun time.

Below is our Survivor ceremony. Jeff spoke with his son Jake that has luekemia. Ashley also read her article that she wrote to about 500 people. I posted her article that she wrote on the June 22nd post. Check it out.

The 4th of July (non-Mormon/Utahn celebration)

Yes, to clarify for all you non-mormon, not from Utah people, in Utah, when the 4th of July falls on a Sunday, we celebrate it on Saturday the 3rd. It's a religious thing. Anyway, we went to church, took a nap, threw some pop-its, and went to Di and Gordon's for a BBQ. Kids go to bed early in Utah when the 4th falls on a Sunday. Happy Independence Day!!!

The 3rd of July (A Utah Celebration)

Since the 4th of July is on a Sunday this year, we in Utah celebrate it on the 3rd. We went to see the hot air ballon race in Provo at the crack of 6am. Most of the balloons inflated, but it was too windy for them to take off. Total waste of good sleep time, but the girls thought it was cool. I took the girls home for a nap while Tara spent the day Twilighting and shopping. We went to the Riverton fair in the afternoon and later that night we went to Tiffany and Nate's house for food, games, and fireworks. Here's the pics of the festivities.
