Flying Pie.

     Flying Pie Pizza does this thing where everyday they pick a name or a category of people and if its your name or you fall in that category you get to make a free pizza. Well the beginning of July the category was if you were born in July. So I made Nate and Spence go with me to make my free pizza. They make you wear a goofy hat, so I naturally picked Robin Hood.

     I made a hawaiian pizza and it was tasty! Nate tried to take some pictures of the pizza making process but Spencer was not about to let that happen, so no good ones.

these guys didn't think I was funny...tough crowd.

we did however capture this adorable gem!

Independence Day!

July 4, 2014

We started off our 4th of July with a ward breakfast at the neighbors. They served delicious breakfast burritos and pancakes with my favorite topping; strawberries and LOTS of whipped cream! It was a good time!

cutest baby in a lifejacket!

     
     After that we quickly got our stuff together and headed to the lake for some boating, which I hadn't done in 2 years so naturally got zero pictures of me skiing. On the way up we could see smoke and just across the bridge before Spring Shores the hillside was on fire. We crossed over and then parked by Katie and Tyler and the boys to watch the planes and helicopters. There was already 2 BLM crews there working as well. Nate said it made his adrenaline start pumping and a part of him still longs to be out there firefighting with them!

playing on the beach, this boy LOVES water!

     Once we got situated we all did a little boarding or skiing. Nate had to work at 2 and as we were headed back to the beach to pick up all his stuff, our boat died! Brayden and Nate grabbed paddles and started rowing us to shore. We were ready for Nate to climb up the hill to the road and hitchhike back to the car. Dad messed around with things for a while and we finally got going again and Nate made it to work alright.
     The rest of us had a really great time of getting the boat on the trailer (did I mention it's been a while?). We got it on once, pulled out of the water, realized it was wrong, put it back in the water, the trailer then came unhitched from the truck, tried again, and then things were successful. What a day. And of course Spence cried much of the way home. But he sure looked awful cute all day in his lifejacket!

these boys had to have a throw down.

     Once we got home we had a little lunch with cake to celebrate mine and Katie's birthdays. I got some running stuff and my favorite snicker's cake from Albertson's. Heaton then entertained us all with some firecracker tricks and I ran 2 miles. Nate and I have had 3 independence days since we've been together and we have yet to watch fireworks, maybe next year!

these 2 stayed dry by hiding in the boat.

Spence and Oma.
