July is over and I only have a billion pictures to show for it.

We have been busy outside... More hiking... which I think I am finally getting Cally to enjoy and the girls have fun. Last time we went up We went with some friends and their three little girls. My girls love them and would spend all waking minutes with them if I let them.
So I endured what no other wife would endure... right Heidi!! The Podcast slumber party... I mean campout. We went up to perception point up by Causy and at first I thought oh this will be fun all the nerds and their families having fun up in the trees... well turns out that after we burnt or weenies and toasted the mallows... all the girls ditched out and took their kids home. So there I was stuck with ALL THE NERDS BY MYSELF. Emily stayed ( friend of the muppets... not tech. family) thank goodness so that I was not the only girl with a boat load of nerdy guys. Anyway they thought it would be fun to do their cast from up in the mountains and tell scary stories and review horror comics. Jason from the Ogden insider came and listened in because he is doing a story on the guys for his magazine. Although I find all of this really nerdy it was cool that they took an interest. It was fun even though they made me talk... eak I sound stupid... don't listen to this cast. We put the girls down in the tent by themselves thirty feet away from where we were and they were perfect! They had so much fun in the tent by themselves and didn't even try to come out... I may have told them there are bears around, i am not lying there are signs! Anyway all was well except Cally forgot the bag with our clothes in it. HA! I was so mad. PMSing anyway and then not super happy about sleeping in my clothes and having the girls not have extra stuff... oh well all of my complaining was for not and everything was fine.
After we left there we headed down to Heber City to go camping with my family. Did I mention I was still PMSing... I was not a joy to be around the entire time we were there. I feel bad for everyone. Everyone but me had fun swimming in Deer Creek Res. riding on the ATV's and eating yummy dutch oven cooking. That I slaved over bitterly... I am not kidding I was not pleasent AT ALL. Cally had fun trying to take down my brother in law Cory who out weighs Cal by a hundred pounds. Cal can usually hold his own, but he looked like a rag doll out in the water. The girls had fun playing in the water with their cousins, and we got to know our new brother in law better. I past out before the fun started I was such a party pooper. Oh we did make a pit stop for our clothes... just so you know. But I was mad anyhow. Once we finally got home I just passed out. I got the biggest migraine ever and thought I was going to die. I learned I need sleep a lot more now that I am old. I just cannot go a week staying up every night until 3... I am old I used to be able to just keep on going... not anymore.




We hit up Lagoon again... the girls love it. We took Grandma and Grandpa along with us and all had a good time.


We had the opportunity to babysit cute little ANDY. I took so many pictures of that kid you would have thought he was my own. But he is just so cute. Yeah so what I might be a little baby hungry but I got that door slammed in my face by my dear sweet husband and well i am living vicariously through my friends and there cute kiddies. My girls love Andy and really he is such a good baby... their next one will be a monster guarenteed!

I just thought these pictures were cute.... Regan makes the funniest faces all the time and while Lolo was trying to carry Andy all over the house Regan was hamming it up for the camera.

Work has been good. I love tennis have I mentioned that before? I really do miss playing all the time and miss the competition, this last session I had a few students ( these super cute teenage boys. A whole class of em) They were good and pushed me a little more then usual. I love teaching Rec. but I sersiously miss competing. This is my week off and I have been trying to get all the projects done that I wanted to do all summer... goodness sakes I have made some messes and spent way too much money EAK!! I am about 75% done with all of them (ha I know I should finish one before starting another... but hey that is just how I do it... ease up a little) I will post when they are done... I am super excited about it all.

We got the Wii active game. It is the best!! I love it and it kicks my butt, just like I need it to. I made Cal try it and I got the best ab workout laughing at him trying to do the exercises. For such an athletic guy he is so uncordinated sometimes. He cannot do squats for whatever reason... so he resorted to lifting his leg up so the lady in the game would stop yelling at him for being retarded.

We have had fun with all the fun things in Ogden... we love the Monday night movies, and are excited for the art walk next Friday. We went to the 24th of July parade last week (sorry no pictures... Shelley you should e-mail me the ones you took) Regan got a purple wildcat from one of the WSU cheerleaders and carries it everywhere with her now, it's the coolest. Ah to be young again and amused by the simple things. We had fun though with our friends and the girls just love to see all the people, they are just like me I love to people watch, it is interesting to hear the things they notice. But by far their favorite thing going on in good ol O-town right now are the horses. They brought them out last year and then again this year and the girls know them all and get so excited when they see their favorites. I love Ogden I don't care what anyone has to say about it. I love the old homes I love that I can hike, go to an antique shop, go to an art gallery listen to a concert, play in the park... all within walking distance of my home. Anyway I am obviously tired and rambling on. I will try not to wait 3 weeks again... So I couldn't find my camera til just now... anyway here are the rest of the camping pic
