Happy birthday Griffin!!

Griff had a fabulous birthday! He got a cool toy shotgun, a light saber and his FAVORITE thing was a sucker (a 3 sided Push Pop), He's so easily pleased. We went bowling at the Fun Park and had his favorite dinner- PLAIN NOODLES. He went to lunch & shopping with Grandma & Grandpa and picked a very specific Power Ranger toy he thought was sincerely going to turn him into a Power Ranger. He was a little disappointed, but had a GREAT  time shopping. He's such a cute, crazy, fun, active, tenderhearted little boy. We love him in our family!!!

Kia or Tia

Griffin has this "friend" he talks about ALL THE TIME. We're not quite sure if his name is Kia or Tia. He has a motorcycle bigger than his dad's motorcycle, he has several houses throughout Cache Valley (we pass at least one of his houses nearly every time we drive anywhere), his phone number is "FD7" and I'm suppose to call him to come play everyday.  He doesn't have any eyebrows, he loves dogs and has a pet cat, he is 4 years old and his school is Utah State University (found that out today at stake conference at the Spectrum) and his church is at the DI. For Halloween, he was Superman and his sister was a pumpkin and his little brother was Batman. He's taller than me and his eyes are white.

The rest of the story

So the next morning Telly and our neighbor (we'll call him MacGyver) went up the canyon to get the Jeep. MacGyver just happens to do Jeeps for a living, so he was real handy to have there. He determined a part broke off the manual oil pressure gage and oil was leaking out of the hole. He got in his Jeep, pulled out a earplug, squished it into the hole, sealed it with some silicone and it was good to go. It's nice to know a real live MacGyver.

Here we go...

I'm back in the saddle. I keep taking pictures thinking I'll post them, but I haven't so I'm just gonna jump back in. We had a pretty good summer day. Macee is having a sleepover with Dakoda and Loryn so it was just me and the boys today. I did some major dejunking, which is a lot easier when Macee isn't here cause she would keep everything she's ever owned. Telly took the boys for a jeep ride last night as I was leaving for YW about 7:00. The boys were so tired, so I knew he wouldn't be gone long. At 8:00 I stopped by the house for a second, but they weren't home yet so I ran a quick errand. I got back at 9:00 and they still weren't home. I tried calling SEVERAL times, but Telly didn't answer. About 9:30 I decided I should go look for them. I grabbed my phone and I had to find my car charger cause my phone was almost dead. As I was getting in the car at 9:45, my phone rang and it was Telly. The Jeep broke down when they were about 10 miles off the main highway. He had to coast about 7 miles to the main road and then hitch-hiked home. WOW! I was just glad they were home and so was Telly. He was thinking about what a miserable night it would be sleeping out there with the boys. I'll tell the Jeep rescue story tomorrow.

Happy Birthday Pops

Today is my dad's b-day. Big 81 years young. He's the youngest 81 year old I know. I blame that on me, since he was 49 years old when I was born, I always say I kept him young. We celebrated his birthday and Father Day earlier this week with a family BBQ. He is one good dude.

Tuesdays, my new favorite day of the week!

I got a new calling on Sunday, the Beehive Advisor. So excited! I already had planned to do some camp things with the Laurels, so I made the camp flag (turned out so cute) while the Beehives were Tie-dying with the other leaders. Telly and I thought were getting our Tuesday nights back since Telly got released from YMs (after like 5 years of being in there), but really we got a few weeks break and now we're right back at it. Tuesdays went from being one of my least favorite days, to now, one of my favorite days. It was kinda nice to "have to leave" for just a couple hours.

New Jeep!

Well, kinda. Telly sold his truck and bought a 1973 Jeep. We had to go pick it up in Bountiful today, luckily we were driving down to celebrate Father Day and my dad's birthday so we killed two birds with one drive. I'll post some pictures of the new beauty.
