Celebrations

We have done lots of really great and fun things the last few weeks.  I went with my parents down to Happy Valley for my uncle Terry's surprise 60th party and then we headed over to Claire's for Summer's baby shower.  On the fourth of July we started with scones at the Messam's and then saw Spiderman and finished it off with a ReAL game and fireworks... one fuse thing came down from the sky and hit me in the head... only me in a sea of people.

That weekend we went down to Fairview for our annual Root Reunion.  Our numbers have dwindled and no thanks to the fires but it was still a great time.  We mostly just went swimming, napped and ate... my kind of vacation.

We have had a lot of really poopy crazy things going on in our lives and lots of stress so we decided that we should definitely be going to the temple and it was so nice to have a date there last Friday.

This last weekend we went up to Heber for my cousins Angie and Alyssa's bday celebration.  We all wrote down memories in a binder for each of them and then read some of them to the group and they were all pretty funny.  Then Sally had them go get their "birthday clothes" on and handed out chocolate cupcakes to all of us and said she is going to tell the memory of when they shoved chocolate cake on her face on mother's day one year and when she yells "it's payback time!" everyone needs to throw the cupcakes at them.... as we all suspected it backfired a little and Sally ended up with a black-eye looking face full of chocolate.  It was definitely fun to watch.  We had a little dance party afterwards and yummy food and then headed home.

And last but not least last Sunday we had a pleasant time at the Messam's as I lost repeatedly in croquet.  Dom was super nice and tried to get behind for a little to make me feel better but then he would pretty much win.  I kicked the ball when I got out and I'm pretty sure I broke my toe or did some nerve damage because it is still throbbing.  (not a sore loser just trying to get out of the way) aka don't kick a croquet ball.

AMANDA IS A JAZZ DANCER!!!! NAILED IT BABY!

I love all the fun people in my life and am so glad we live so close to everyone aka SHANE YOU CAN'T TAKE MY SISTER TO HEBER!
