Busy Week

This was a busy week. Ryan came home from Argentina on Wednesday. We are so excited to have all the family back together. Ryan looks great. He looks so much like my dad. He and Paul now have the same build. They are both short and skinny. Since Paul played football last season he is currently more muscular.
Friday night was the opening night for the Utah Grizzlies. Ryan and Paul went with me to the first game. The Grizzlies won 7-3 and there was a fight!

Thursday night Scott and Brittney welcomed their first baby, Cole Scott Wiscombe. I am thrilled to be an aunt!!! Cole was 8 1/2 pounds and 19 inches. He is incredibly cute.

Now that Ryan is home Travis and I had to give him back his car and phone. I was kicked off the family phone plan, so now I have a new number. I am slowly getting around to calling everyone and sharing my new digits.

Castle Sitting

Travis and I have been "castle sitting" lately. Corianne's, a girl that I work with, in-laws own the Castle Creek Inn. She and her husband are the innkeepers. They live in an apartment attached to the back of the castle. Basically they help people check-in late at night and answer any questions that customers might have after 10:00 PM. Someone always has to be at the castle. So when they go out of town they have to find people to "castle sit" for them. We have done this twice lately and I think it is so much fun. We have never had any problems, only one person has called us, and we get a really nice breakfast each night. It is kind of like a mini vacation for us. The castle is located close to where I used to live and close to work.

Stud Muffin!!!

Travis is loving his internship with the Utah Grizzlies Hockey Team. As an intern he has received all kinds of perks. One of those was a free suit from Mr. Mac. He pickup out the one that he wanted. It was not my first choice. I wanted him to get a light gray. But when he put this one on WOW! We are both very excited about this intership and hope that Travis will make great connections for a job.

Hockey games start this month and Travis will be in the press box during each game. He has to wear a suit for every game. Luckily now he has two to choose from.

Mirror Lake

We had a great camping trip a few weeks ago. We went to Mirror Lake with a few other couples here in the village. We have some great friends here! We went up Friday afternoon and then were able to go canoeing for a few hours on Saturday. Each couple had their own canoe. Travis and I missed out on the racing, because we were on the other side of the lake at the time. I let him do most of the work.
The high was in the 60's and it got down to the 40's during the night. We were wrapped up in our mummy bags.
It was gorgeous up there! I love to sleep in, but for some reason when I camp I am up at about six in the morning. So Travis and I were able to walk around the lake before breakfast. Thanks Leonards for inviting us!
When Travis was getting into the canoe I was not prepared. He thought I was holding it and I really wasn't, so it tipped over and he fell in. He really is not that sweaty; it is from falling in the lake.
This is near the area where I almost died on that backpacking trip my junior year at BYU. I kept showing Travis were I had hiked. I had a much better experience this time and felt completely safe.

American Idol

I lucked out and a friend gave me a ticket to the American Idol concert at the last minute. We sat towards the back, so this was the only picture I had that turned out. The concert was actually pretty good. The top ten idols each were able to sing a few songs. We David Archuletta came on stage every 8-17 year old girl in the room screamed for three straight minutes. He did a great job. He, David Cook and Brooke White were my favorites.

July 4th

I have not posted in so long and we actually have been doing things that are worth while to mention. Life has just been busy!

July 4th we spent with my family in Kaysville. Travis and I ran the city 5K. It was his first race ever and he did a fantastic job. Now I just have to try to convince him to do another one.

Then we went to the parade. Katie's Youth City Council float won an award. She was too busy waving at us that she forgot to throw us any candy. That afternoon Katie was in the city musical Beauty and the Beast. (She was one of the napkins.) She did great in her dance scene. Then we watched the fireworks. We had a great location. We ended up being right next to the speakers, but it was not so bad once the fireworks started.
