Monday, July 17 - Kenny had his throat stretched again today. I feel so bad for my siblings that they have to deal with this. Tonight, Simon and Zack went to take a tour of the BYU locker room with their soccer team. Kendra left for Girl's Camp this morning so that left Ricki and I alone. We went to Chick-Fil-A to say hi to Nick and for dinner. We all had a great night!
Tuesday, July 18 - This evening, I worked on some projects in the house while Simon worked on some outside. I got these canvas pictures of our family and had an idea to hang them down the hall. I really like how they turned out! Simon was trying to figure out how he could saw this metal piece for our fence down level with the cement. They didn't do a very good job smoothing around it and they ran over it with their Bobcat so it has a funky crease in it. Zack was out living his best life tonight with his friends Sky and Jax. They had the opportunity to be Ball Kids for a tournament game at the RSL stadium. They had so much fun! Love these cute friends!
Wednesday, July 19 - I had another photo shoot today. I am really enjoying this little side job! And Simon was able to get the center post in for our gates tonight. However, we learned something fun and new. The wheels on the gates are totally seized up. It is probably from pushing them over the grass for so many years. They didn't really need to roll, they just made a huge divot in the grass. So now we have to figure out how to get the wheels replaced and it could be interesting. They are welded to the metal frame of the gate. We are going to have to send them in to our fencing company to get it worked out. Yikes!
Thursday, July 20 - We had a super fun day! Mom picked up Halle and Brielle and met us at my house for our fun day of adventure. We decided to go to lunch but Nick had his little heart set on going to Slim Chickens so we loaded up and went there. It was yummy...and expensive! Afterward, Nick went his separate way but the rest of us went to the Museum of Ancient Life at Thanksgiving Point. The kids had a blast and mom and I enjoyed walking around and hanging out with them.
Friday, July 21 - Kendra got home from Young Women's today. Hooray! I'm so glad to have her back home. She said she had a fun time but there was a little bit of drama this year. Darn it! Tonight, I took Ricki and met up with Jenni and her girls to see Eliza in Draper's production of "The Little Mermaid". It was super cute and they did a wonderful job! The theater needs a little updating and work (the a/c went down so it was horribly hot...and my chair was broken) but the production itself was really very impressive. We enjoyed it very much!
Saturday, July 22 - Mom and Simon both had buy one, get one free coupons for their birthdays this month so the four of us went to Tucano's downtown. Man, it is soooo good! When we got home, the other kids really wanted to go get Chick-Fil-A for dinner so we took them there. Simon and I both got an ice cream and we ate that while the kids ate dinner. Nick was very busy tonight but he was able to sneak away for 2 minutes to come say hi.
Sunday, July 23 - We always wish that we would go to Silver Lake early each year so this year, we did! Unfortunately, I was dealing with a bad tummy so I didn't go on the walk around the lake. In fact, the trail was under construction so everyone had to walk halfway around it and then come back. It was nice though. We celebrated Simon's birthday and even did his birthday dinner up there. He chose taco bar and there is just something about eating food like that in nature. It always tastes better! It was a great night and luckily, my tummy held out and didn't cause me problems while we were there or on our way up and back down from the mountain.
