Weekly update 7/9/12

This week has been super busy. Talan has soccer tots practice on Tuesdays. This is the super awesome birthday present he got from Uncle Aaron and Aunt Jeanne. We are missing the socks, but he wears those for games. I work on Tuesdays, so Randy takes Talan to swim lessons.

Wednesday was July 4th. We went over to Dennis and Andrea's house. We had a great time with lots of friends. Ken and Sam and their girls were there. Brad and Jenny were there with their 2 kids. I got in the pool with Talan and Kendall. Troy spent most of the time in the pool acting like one of the kids. Randy relaxed inside out of the heat as it was a hot one.

That evening we decided to watch the fireworks from Breckinridge Park. We had a really good view of the show from where we were. Kendall was asleep during the picture.

On Friday we went to Hawaiian Falls. I bought season passes for Talan and me. Hopefully it will give us something to do this summer. We can always go for a couple of hours and not feel like we wasted money.

We all came home after a couple of hours and took a nap. That evening Randy had a soccer game. On Saturday, Talan had swim lessons. After that we left to head out to Cedar Creek lake. Joe and Kim have a lake house and everyone was going out for the day. They were putting on an airshow. Randy had been talking about going for a month. As we were driving in, it started to rain. It wasn't raining at the lake, but we couldn't be lucky enough to miss it completely. When we got down there, everyone else was already there. Randy, Troy, and Jay went down to launch the boat. When they got to the dock, they tried to tie up the boat. The winds were causing some strong waves that were pushing the boat towards the dock. They ended up getting a rope stuck in the engine. It took them about 45 minutes to cut it and get it out. What a mess. It never fails when we take the boat somewhere something happens. Randy took Talan for his first jet ski ride. Mom and Joanna went and Troy took Debbie. The storm looked like it was gonna hit and there was lightning all around so they decided it best to put them up.

We ate burgers and hot dogs for dinner. There were some yummy pasta dishes and lots of dessert. Randy decided to put up the boat because the lightning and wind was picking up. The website said that the airshow had been cancelled. What do you know as soon as he did that they started the show. We were close enough to see, but it would have been cool to be right under the planes. Here are some pics from the day.

On Sunday Talan had a soccer game. We moved the boys up this season to the under 5 - under 6 league. Obviously some of our boys are a little young, but one of the boys had to move up and we wanted to keep them together. It was definately different as there are some new rules at this level. Talan scored a goal and he was super excited. They don't keep score at this level but I do. They tied 4-4.
