Monday, July 3 - Nick asked me this morning if we could go to Sam's Club for another Callaway shirt for him. Trying to be the cool mom, I was trying to surprise him with a yummy lunch at the new Dollie's in Sandy. On our way there, we ran over something on the freeway and by the time we got to Dollie's, we could hear the air escaping from the tire. Seriously?!? I just barely had to get another tire repaired! Instead of going to lunch, Nick changed the tire, put the spare on, we went to mom's to fill the spare up, and then we had to head home. At least the evening was much better though! We brought Dave & Viv and met my parents, the McCullough's, and the Olson's at the rodeo. It was super fun! I really love this tradition (even though I don't actually enjoy most of the rodeo events)! It's so fun to be together!
Tuesday, July 4 - This holiday never disappoints! We had a great time going to dinner with the McCullough's at Chili's and then heading to Sandy City for the parade. We were sitting in the full sun, which was *HOT*, but otherwise, we all loved it! Afterward, we went over to the grassy area to hang out and listen to music until the fireworks started. The firework show was a little scary this year. The wind was just lightly blowing toward the crowd so we kept getting showered with pebbles, shrapnel, and even live embers from the fireworks. I was actually really happy when it ended! :) I love the 4th of July, I love our freedom, and I love our country!
Wednesday, July 5 - Happy birthday to the best mom in the world! We got to celebrate her at a big lunch at Cafe Rio. I hope she had the best day ever! When we got home from lunch, it was time for me to get going on Brianna Dow's wedding cake. I baked and mostly frosted/decorated all tonight. Can't wait for her wedding tomorrow!
Thursday, July 6 - Brianna's wedding day!! I am so happy for her and her cute new husband! I am also honored that I got to do her cake, share my talent, and be a big part of her special day. It was perfect!
Friday, July 7 - Marisa and I finally took Heidi Christensen up on her offer to use her pool. They are the kindest family around! Our kids had a blast in the pool and I enjoyed sitting in the shade watching them! My cute Grandma gets together every Friday with her sisters. She sent us this picture (that's right, my grandma takes selfies!) and aren't they the cutest? I love these ladies and I'm thankful to see their smiling faces. In fact, I saw Marilyn this week too so it's been a Muffett-sisters week for me! :)
Saturday, July 8 - What a fun but busy day! We had our annual yard sale at Jenni's house this morning. I wasn't really planning on participating this year because I didn't think I had that much stuff but come to find out, I made more this year than normal! Altogether, we made over $650! I, individually, made $121! Yay! This afternoon, we took Zack bike shopping for his birthday. He has been complaining about his bike and he really wanted one that changes gears so we got him one.
Sunday, July 9 - Happy birthday Zacky boy! It's funny, we celebrated mom's birthday today on Zack's actual birthday. Next week, we're celebrating Zack and Ricki's birthdays with the Pearson's on Simon's actual birthday. Haha! Crazy month! Dad and I teamed up and gave mom a book of her journal entries from Kenny's rehab days. She has been wanting them in a book and here it is! I made her a Kit Kat cake and she and Zack blew out the candles. Happy birthday to my loved ones!
