Our Sprinklers Work Again!!

A couple of months ago the people who built our home (Sundance) came out to fix a water problem we had. The house that is next to ours is higher up so anytime snow would melt or it would rain or the sprinklers came on to water the lawn in between our houses our window well would flood and we would get water in our basement. So they came out and removed our lawn and put a french drain in between our houses to fix the drainage problem and removed all the sprinkler pipe in between our houses and just put rocks in place of the lawn. Well the genius employees broke off the sprinkler pipe that connects to our front lawn and just left it sticking out of the ground. We've been trying to get Sundance back out here to fix it for the last couple of months with no luck cause the company has no money anymore which means nobody is going to come out and fix it. Well, a couple weeks ago we finally got the owner of the company out here to look at it and he said he was going to fix it himself because they don't have anybody working for them anymore and he really cares about still getting it done, and blah blah blah. I asked him how long it would take and he made it sound like it would be weeks. So I asked him if we were to get some shovels and come out and help if we would be able to get it done in 1 day, because that's a lot easier for us then having to go out and hand water our lawn every night. He said that would definetely be possible. So he called David and told him that he was going to be out here on the following Monday, even though it was Labor Day he said he would for sure be here. So we got David's sister, Kayley, and her husband, Casey, to come out and help us that day. Well surprise, surprise, the owner of Sundance never showed up and so we just went out and did it all ourselves. We're very upset about the whole situation, but our sprinklers now work so we are happy about that. We couldn't have done it without Kayley and Casey's help and also our neighbor, Mark Averett, who came out with his skidster (spelling?) and helped us put the giant rocks in our rock wall back where they belonged. So, thank you so much to those people for their hard work and willingness to help us out. We probably still wouldn't have working sprinklers in our front lawn if it wasn't for them.

We're Having Another Girl!

My Baby's 2nd Birthday

Allyson's 2nd birthday was on July 13th. We celebrated by having both of our families over for cake and ice cream. Allyson got so many new fun toys, she really enjoyed her party. I can't believe my baby is 2 years old already! :( She's growing up so fast.

Uncle Kevin's Birthday

My brother had his 17th birthday on July 8th. We all had cake and ice cream at my mom's house to celebrate.

4th of July

On the 4th of July we got together with some of our friends in the neighborhood and had a bbq, lit off fireworks, and watched movies. Lots of fun!

David's Birthday

David's birthday was on June 16th. We were in Disney Land on his birthday so a couple weeks after we got back David's family had a little cake and ice cream party for him.

Camping at Yuba Lake

At the end of June we went camping with David's family. In the morning we all went on the boat and played in the water. We all had a lot of fun.

Our First Ultra Sound

We got the first ultra sound of our growing baby on June 23rd. You can't see a whole lot, but it's a baby! I go in for my next appointment on Monday and I think they do another ultra sound then, so hopefully it will show some more baby features on that one. I think it's a boy!

Our Trip to Disney Land (and other parks)

June 12th to the 21st David and I went on a trip to California. We left Allyson at home and we missed her very much, but not enough to wish we had taken her with us. We stayed a night in Vegas on our way out there to split up the drive. We will never go there again! Not much special about Vegas. We were wishing we had stayed in St. George instead. When we got to California we went to San Diego Zoo and then we ate a this awesome restaurant called Anthony's that was right next to the ocean. Their food was amazing! We stayed the night in a hotel about 30 minutes from San Diego and the next day we went to Sea World. The rest of the trip we stayed with some of David's cousins in Mission Viejo. We went to church on Sunday and then had 3 straight days of Disney Land and California Adventure. It was so much fun! Our last park day (thursday) we were supposed to go to Universal Studios, but I was throwing up all day. I think I was poisoned from too much gross park food. Gag! Friday we had to get our A/C fixed in the car cause it broke part way through the trip. We were going to wait til we got home, but we just couldn't stand it any longer! Friday afternoon we strarted driving home and it was 112 degrees driving through the desert, so we were very thankful for our working A/C. We spent the night in Mesquite and then drove the rest of the way home the next day. It was a way fun trip.

Aunt Sherri's Birthday Party

David's sister, Sherri, celebrated her birthday on June 3rd. A bunch of her friends got together and threw her a birthday party bbq, complete with a pinata. It was a lot of fun.
