4th of July weekend :)
Well... my adventure started on the 1st of July. The morning of I got the awesomely fun chance to babysit for Sarah & Robbie Jensen. I watched their 2 adorable little boys, Kyson & Kaemon. They are 2 of my favorite little kids!! We had lots of fun! They are so sweet & funny! Kyson amazes me, he is such a genius! He can read... & he is 4... Oh yea.. and he could read since he was 3 no big deal hes only a super genius..... & not only that, but Sarah & Robbie didnt teach him how... he picked some of it up off of PBS Kids but mostly just taught himself! He is INCREDIBLE!! & Kaemon is sooo cute! I LOVE his hugs!! He is such a sweetheart!! The Jensens are such a great family & Im super glad that they like me :)
After I left the Jensens, I went home (obviously), & Chirs, Holly, Talie, Henry & I left soon after... we were on our way!! whoo whoo. we arived in Logan where Hollys mom lives and spend some time there. We just kinda chilled and made food. Im not gonna lie... dinner kinda scared me... but it was DELICIOUS!!! some pretty AMAZING food there :) after that we headed over to the USU Stadium of Fire for concerts & fireworks. it was a pretty fabulous show!! :) The Diamond Rio played, and there were random other people, and dancers, and a choir. It was pretty sweet.
Henry & I waiting for the show to begin in the blazing hot sun...
yea... he doesnt look to happy... it was REALLY hott!!
Holly :)
Talie.... She looks like a little movie star :)
I pretty much have the cutest nephew of all time.
Eating a cookie & watchin the show :)
it was a pretty good cookie :)
This next picture is proof of one of the MANY reasons I LOVE my CRAZY AWESOME family!! :) yea.. my family is my FAVORITE!! <3
Holly & Talie doing the "Lion" face... :)
The "Lion" face they are making is from a 80s face work out video we frequently mock. Its pretty funny cuz the lady doing it is so serious about it... how she keeps from laughing is beyond me... & the outfit she chooses to wear for giving her face a workout... well wow... haha... Ill share it with you... :)
well... i bet now you can see why we make fun of it so much... & this is actually legit..weird... im glad im a 90s kid... from the looks of this... the 80s were VERY strange times...
Holly & Henry watchin the awesome fireworks.
this Video is of some of the dancers at the celebration... it was pretty cool... all of them are ages 50 and up... it would be cool if my mom did something like that... :) anyways... it was pretty fabulous :)
Anyways, the fireworks were AWESOME!! they were set to music... yea no biggie they just played one of my favorite songs... yea it was pretty darn cool!! :) & this was the song they played :)

After the show we were on the road... to SHELLEY!!!! and of course NO ONE knew i was coming... well except for Chris & Holly... cuz well it would be impossible for them not to know cuz they were my ride there. so.. I snuck into my house at 2 am (thats when we got there) Mom was sleeping on the tramp with Lainee (my niece) & i slept on the couch downstairs. well I woke up about 9:30 & grabbed my stuff & snuck into the bathroom & got a prettied up so i didnt look like a gross dead zombie. well i heard her talking in the hall to Dave & annette who had just arrived... so what do i do... i quickly turn on the shower so she wouldnt walk in or suspect anything. well after im all ready i walk into my kitchen to find my mom there cutting watermelon. So i say, "Hey Mom, can I borrow your car?" she turns and sees me and gives me a huge hug! slaps my butt really hard and then points a big sharp knife in my face and says "what are you doing here?" so I explain that i really didnmt hav eto work & wanted to surprise here. well about 2 mins after i see my mom she says "so are you gonna go wake up Melanie?" yea she missed me alright... missed me so much she sends me out thte door right after i see her... hmmm haha. well then we pretty much just partied. i saw a lot of my friends & it was AWESOME!! ahem.. DOG!!!!! hahaha that was for you Lydia :) bahaha one of the mostr memorable moments well hour or so was trimming the trees and the killing of the ant pile. It was pretty awesome.
On the Roof Chris & Talie & me (not pictured Dave)
Chris & Dave on the roof trimming Moms Trees :)
Also... my family are Ant Killers. haha. we were gonna hang some sky chairs from our tree... except the branch was rotting and gross... and on the inside was lots of nasty ants & larva which my family decided needed to be killed, but not just killed... but ANNIHILATED!!
And this last video is my personal favorite. I love my brothers. Randy, you are a rockstar. :)
