Day Ten - Wednesday

Today we had an adventure on the Utah Trax. Nana, Quinn, Kylie, Griffin and I took the trax into Salt Lake to have lunch with Bumpa at work. We had a nice time. We
took pictures.

These are from the lobby of the Joseph Smith Building.








Here we are eating our delicious lunch in the Cafeteria.


Here is the happy Griffin!


After our lunch and pictures, we took the same train home, yet it did not take us home. We went a bit out of our way, but we certainly understand the trax much better now.

Meanwhile, Kerry and Chase ate at the Wood Ranch Grill.

football

this is zak, mom says I have to say what we do for football. We wake up at 7:00 A.M to go eat breakfast. then at 8:45 we go to our first football session. Every session is pretty much the same. we get in lines and stretch. we stretch for a long time, it is kinda dumb. then everyone goes to a group depending on their age and offensive position (I go with the freshman receivers). then we do drills, like running routes and catching the ball, practicing our starting stance and running out of it. then we get into groups with our defensive positions, and do more drills. we do lots of running backwards in defense. then we go do "1 on 1" where all the freshman receivers, corner backs and quarterbacks go in a group. the quarterback tells the receiver the play then the receiver runs it, while the corner back tries to stop him. I do some of the "1 on 1" on defense and some on offense. finally we do 7 on 7. which i basically 2-hand-touch football with no blockers (it is also 4 Mississippi's to sack). the whole 7 on 7 thing is a big tournament, my team kinda stinks (are record is 1-2-1). the food here is good, chocolate milk is excellent. Killer really liked the dance. Thats all.

Day Nine - Tuesday XXX

This is also Zak's second day of Football camp. I saw him, he said he was having a good time, it was hot, no he had not thrown up. Success. He is anxious about setting up his utopia game.

So, after spotting Zak, and talking with him for a bit, then we went over to Christopher and Steven's apartment. They took us over to the BYU campus and we all went bowling! It was fun. Steven, Christopher and I bowled on one lane, Quinn, Kylie and Griffin bowled on another lane. Steven won the first game and just as I was about to lose the 2nd game, on my last turn I bowled a strike! Then I got to have 2 more turns and I got 2 more strikes. Very exciting. In bowling - that is a turkey.

Christopher won that game, I was just happy not to be creamed.

Then we went to lunch at the Brick Oven. Then back to our own places.

Day Eight - Monday, June 25 again

We feel a bit like TINA.....

Nana, Bumpa, Kylie, Griffin, Quinn and I all went to a buffet called Chuck-a-Rama. We ate great food.

Day Eight - Monday, June 25

Zak started his BYU Football camp! It seemed like there were 1000 boys there and I found Zak and secretely took his picture!



Before he got to camp, Christopher and Steven took his to a yummy place for breakfast - Kneader's.

Day Seven, Sunday June 24th

Sunday at Nana's and Bumpa's: church, hot, bumpa spoke, we sang "I stand All Amazed" at a nice pace, saw Christopher and Steven, ate a nice dinner, cut Christopher's hair, played a hot game of 4 square, watched a movie, went to bed.

Day Six June 23rd

Driving to Utah - all day...

Going for Zak's BYU football camp!

Chase and Dad stayed home.

Christopher told me he would teach me how to pack in 2 minutes, lessons are $50/hr. How nice.

Fifth Day June 22

My first day at tennis lessons. It was fun! Christopher will be joining me and I am deciding if I should hi-jack Zak. I think he will really enjoy it too...he just feels like it won't be fun.

Packing to drive to Utah tomorrow.

Boys and Kylie moved rocks and brick from one house to another.

Zak had another day at football camp.

Day Four June 21

BEACH DAY!

A picture tells 1,000 words - even if the pictures ARE in a different order than the author put them in, and it is too frutstrating to try to figure out why, or try to fix them, arg!

Quinn was the first to catch a wave!

Chase was digging a VERY deep hole

Kylie, Quinn, Zak and Griffin playing in the sand

Kylie got herself all sandy

Griffin makes a pose....I sadly included the string of the camera

Griffin thought he would take a picture

In the beginning, the water was VERY cold, it was tough to just touch the water

Quinn was the first ready to go all the way out...brrr

...sorry picture gone, just imagine...

Zak joined Quinn - they both caught many waves.

Digging in the sand...have I already seen this picture??

Day Three June 20

Today - no McDonald's for breakfast, but we did go to Raging Waters! That was very fun. We got season passes last year for a great price that also included this year.

Kylie spent most of her time with her brothers - she did what they did.

The lines were NOT long!

Griffin and I played in all the "little people" pools.

I learned today that Kylie loves whatever she is doing and is NEVER ready to go.

We will return though.

Zak is having another great day at Football Camp.

Griffin napped, so that means I will be up till midnight.

Day Two June 19

Today I almost had to babysit 3 extra little children. Just one hour before they were to come, the mother called me with a reprieve! I have never been so happy. I guess her original babysitter figured out a way to do it for her. So, I did laundry, not as much as I would have liked, but getting any done is good in my book.

Chase got called and he got to go jet skiing with the Miller's and Jake Melton and Forest Reed. He had a great time and came home and told dad that we really needed to get one of those.

Quinn, Kylie and Griffin and Kerry all went swimming - I watched and played my Nintendo DS.

We had McDonald's for breakfast again because Chase felt bad he missed it the day before.

Zak had another good day at football camp. No throwing up.

Zak and Quinn had scouts, where they played volleyball and enjoyed themselves there too.

Two great days in a row!!

Day One June 18

First day of summer....what did we do...

I had my birthday lunch, one week late with girlfriends: Jane Colton, Angie Jensen and Sharron Luna. We ate at Paco's. It was all yummy. Kerry came and surprised me with a Pina Colada! That was so nice and yummy too. I offered to share, but no one tried it...maybe they felt like just the presence of evil, who knows, I LOVED it and the thoughtfulness too.

Chase slept in as long as his body would let him.

Quinn asked on Sunday if we could have McDonald's for breakfast on this day, so that is what we had, very good...easy clean-up.

Quinn played is gameboy all day.

Zak went to his first day of Arcadia High School football camp. It was 2 hours. And he really liked it.

All the boys and Kylie went swimming in the afternoon too.

It was a good day.
