July Updates!


So I know I have been a slacker once again! But I'm here! We have been keeping ourselves busy with work and play. Over the 4th of July weekend we went up to the cabin for the coldest Fourth of July I have ever had! We watched fireworks over at Brianhead and it was so cold! I definitely was not expecting that and I also was not excepting the fireworks to be literally over my head about to fall on top of me! (okay not really) But the were right there and it was very load since we were in a canyon but they put on a really good show. All of our pictures are not zoomed in at all if that gives you an idea of how close we were! 

Then last weekend we went back up to the cabin for Duck Creek Days! It was crazy busy up there but we found the funnest trails for quad riding and have lots of fun with our household of family! Justin's Grandparents, His Aunt Carol, Cousin Lindsey, Cousin Daniel and his wife Jenny, and of course us and Justin's parents were all in the cabin. Then his Uncle Doug and Aunt Deb and their four girls and 2 nieces and one granddaughter were all staying in their trailer! It was a lot of people but a lot of fun! Sadly the only pictures I got of this weekend were of Justin riding his 450 dirtbike up there! It was a really fun and much needed weekend.
Other than our trips to the cabin we have been keeping busy with work and having fun. We have started a tradition with our friends Ryan and Corrie and every tuesday we do dinner together! It has been a way fun tradition and has helped me learn to cook more meals! We usually end up playing a game or watching a movie or something too after dinner and we have had some intense games of phase 10 and Jenga! 
On a sad note my grandma has been ill and in the hospital for over a month now. It has been a struggle for my family because it kind of came unexpected but she is hanging in there for now and I just want to say how much I love my Grandma Waters and how grateful I am for her example in my life!
