We are still around



Well howdy so much for journaling so much has happened but I am not very good at getting it all written down right now.

First thing, we still haven't sold our house. So keep us in your prayers. RATS. I know that it will come sometime soon and everything will work out, but still in my time frame it would be sold today! Thanks!

Then onto our crazy happenings. Well lets first think about June. What happened. Something totally unlike me, I played in my first ward softball game. It is so huge here and I thought I would get in on the action, I was scared stiff and almost cried the first time I struck out....I didn't know you started with one strike, that is how much I don't know about slow pitch softball but all the other women were so nice, it was a lot of fun, I bowed out for the tournament because I wouldn't have been any help, but I will try again next year. We had a lot of fun watching both the women and men play, and Dallas said that he will play next year too! Hopefully we don't hurt the chances to terribly!

We still have no furniture in our rental house, we don't even miss t.v. (weird) probably because we have been so busy with Dallas' new business adventure, we really enjoy it here. We don't have tons of friends but lots of new acquaintances and there are so many young families! We love it.

We went to the Whiting homestead for a weekend at the cabin. It was fun to go, the kids brought up there hotwheels and that keep them entertained all weekend, we had a great some great games of settlers and also sent Julie and Butch home, Kaitlyn had a fever of 104 and it was time for her to get some TLC in her bed.

July bring lots of celebrating and fun. The 4th of July was spent in both places. We went to St. Johns Friday. We went to the B-b-que, then the races where both of our kids got a little distracted but don't you worry, even with their turtles speeds they both got 3rd place. Dallas was so proud! We went to the fireworks at Lyman with Jas and Shanda's fam and Mom and Dad. We happened to park right by Johny and Jaime too! It was fun. Saturday in Taylor we attended the rodeo and then the fireworks! It was LOTS of fun too! Nice to be able to see fireworks twice, I STILL love them!

We had a free week then it was the Snowflake 24th of July, our first time here! The parade was crazy, busy and fun. We rode our bikes down. I sweat my face off, and was drenched, why did we take showers that morning, I am not sure! There was a fun craft show, plays, two rodeos, a fashion show (which Sydney and I both loved) and Dallas' parents came for a few hours of visiting. It was lots of fun.

The next weekend the kids and I headed over Thursday morning with Julie to the rodeo and Dallas got there just in time for the icecream social. We saw quite a few people. We went to the rodeo the next day, then the campfire circle (Dallas was not to happy when we asked quite a few family and friends what time they were going to be at the circle and they said they opted out for a nice couch at home!) But it was lots of fun and we still saw lots of people! Saturday was the parade, some more talking a bit of a hot rodeo and then visiting. We watched a fun magic show that night and then headed over to Johny Hammond's parents house for some games! FUN times!

Even with all the fun times, Dallas has been so crazy busy, I know he needs a real vacation, maybe just with me...hehee. Away from a the fast paced, pulling you in two directions, decision making fun. He has been so busy, pretty much sun up to sun down! Maybe in October we will go somewhere fun! His birthday! Great idea right!
