Yard Work

It always seems like I get my deep cleaning done right before school starts and after the holidays. Kind of strange I guess, but it works for us. Anyway, we decided to replant all the trees that our old dog Bandice had pulled out. So, we got some yard work done and planting caught up. I also foundsome cool LED lights that we put on our gazebo, so that at night it looks way cool. Josh worked pretty hard.

New baby for Johnette and Lagoon

So, our friend Johnette had her first baby boy. She was so excited since she had been trying for 10 years now. So, we were excited to see her have a baby. They called him Tauge. He was cute. Tiffy had so much fun holding him when we went to go see them at the hospital.




After the hospital, Josh, Tiffy andI went to Lagoon. We haven't been there in a while since its so over priced, but we decided to go and had a fun day since school was starting soon and we wanted to make sure that we got one more fun family activity in.

Dance Updates

So, over the summer, there was a lot of people who moved, quit dance, or can't afford it anymore. So, they dropped the teams down to just 5 teams again. It's not a problem and doesn't afect Tiffy at all. She is still on Legacy, but instead of being at the "bottom" of the dance class, she is at the top. Also, her 2 friends, Sammy and Taylorhave been bumped up to Legacy as well. They took the top people from the Infinity team and bumped them to Legacy and took the top Legacy people and bumped them to Elites. The Legacy team is still pretty small (just 9 of them), but that's good cause it means more personalized work.

Tiff has Stansbury Days parade and events on Saturday. We arelooking forward to watching her perform as always. Should be really cute. lol.

Sweet factory and Ikea

Josh had Monday and Tuesday off this week. So, we decided to take a trip down to Ikea. Brieanne wanted to come, so she came with us for the day. Right before we left, I got a call from Sweets candy factory about a tour request I had submitted a while back. They said that they had an opening that afternoon. So, we decided to go there on the tour before we went to Ikea. The girls were super excited.




It turned out to be a lot of fun. They first have you put on a hair net and lock up all your personal belongings. Very attractive. LOL. Good thing no pictures are allowed. I think I rocked it anyway. He he he. Well, as best as is possible. We saw the packaging and atorage area, the sugar section, the taffy section, different candy sections and sorting and packaging. Suffice it to say, there was a LOT of sugar in that building. LOL. At the end of the tour, you get to go into their candy shop and get candy for way cheap. We took pictures outside to upload to their facebook. They said they pick the best ones of the week and they get free candy. So, we'll see.






After the tour, we went to Ikea and got a new bookshelf and a new wok. LOL. I love Ikea! They have cute things at a VERY affordable price. When we got home, we set up the new bookshelf. However, the next day we discovered that our TV was broken. GRRR!!! So, we had to move our downstairs TV upstairs. It's fine and really not that big of a deal, but just very annoying.

Cancer Rally Event

There is this woman in our neighborhod who has cancer and I guess they odn't have insurance that will cover her treatment. So, they did this big event with bounce houses and face painting and food and tatoos, a bake sale, a race and etc to help raise money. Jeanie and I decided to go with the kids. It was really crowded but the kids had a lot of fun. Tiffy got her face painted and was going to get a tatoo, but we ran out of time.



It was really hot outside but we decided to eat dinner there anyways since it was for a good cause. It turned out really well and was a lot of fun.

School Shopping

Summer is almost over. Yes, it's hard to believe. So, in preparation for the new school year, we went to go get some new clothes for Tiff and the kids. Tiffy wants a messenger bag this year instead of a "backpack" so we got her a cute one that she is excited about. One of the stores we went to was Target. The kids liked the big circle and wanted to take a pic in it. LOL. It was cute.

The Bay is back!!!

I seriously had a trip to the past the other day when I drove by this club, The Bay, that Catie and I used to go to all the time when we were 19 and 20. Josh even went quite a bit with us. It has changed and been lots of clubs since, but it is now back to the Bay. I about laughed when I saw it. LOL.
