Good Times

We've been busy. Lots of good times! Let's see how brief I can make the last couple of weeks.

For our anniversary, we were able to go out while Jimmy's parents watched the kids. We rode the FrontRunner train to downtown. We ate at Olive Garden, then went to the Gateway for some shopping. It was nice! Having no kids around for the evening is a treat!

Another Saturday, we rode the FrontRunner train into Salt Lake. We rode the train and the Trax up to the University of Utah to attend the Ute Fan Fest. We got a few pictures, and saw a few U athletes. It was hot, but I think the kids had fun. Then we rode Trax back downtown so I could watch Mamma Mia with Jimmys' mom and sister. Jimmy took the kids home, but came back in after we were done with the movie. It was a fun day using mass transit.

Everyone but Jimmy got sick in a week period. I am watching some kids a few days of the week, and getting use to that. Ashley has been off track, but is back in school now, and LOVES IT.

Jimmy is still playing hockey. We all attended a game a few weeks ago. Charlie and Sarah watched a lot of the game, almost half, and had so much fun cheering for daddy!

Football season is starting up, and we had a few people over to watch the Utah vs. Michigan game. We went out to dinner with some friends, yummy, and fun time.

So life is good and full of good things. Jimmy is still in school! Passing classes and trying to keep up with his two fantasy football teams.

We went to Layton Surf-n-Swim a Friday night. It was cool after the sun went down. I went in the water with the kids. Charlie didn't hang out long. He got out and sat with Grandpa Jack. Ashley didn't like being in the waves, but Sarah went out to the 6 ft. deep part with me and floated with the waves. Tough girl! It was fun, even if we were there about an hour or so.

We lost power at our house the Sunday of Labor Day. A nasty storm blew in, and our neighborhood lost power. Crazy storm. Labor Day we attended the Labor Day Car Show in Magna. The labor unions have a big party and we went out. My dad entered a car in the car show, and Jimmy's parents help run the car show, registration, and some Tshirt sales. It was a cold, wet morning, but it cleared up.
