Quick Update

Between teaching swim lessons and trying to finish this online class, there haven't been many pictures or much activity around here. Here are some of Owen right before he barfed all over me AGAIN.

If he could talk he might say, "Mom you're a dork, you know if you squeeze my stomach I'm going to barf."

"Why don't you respond how I want you to when I talk, it's like you don't know what I'm saying."

" Wow, why do you use that voice? I kind of just drown you out when you do that."

" Would you turn on the air, quit trying to prove a point."

Last weekend we had our first Daybreak invitational. Reuben put it together

We hiked and took lots of pictures

The land of the free

This fourth of July, like last year, we went to Stadium of Fire in Provo. This year Carrie Underwood performed and it was a great show. The weather was good and I wasn't sick this time! Owen hung out with Grandma and Grandpa Cook and slept through most of it.

Owen and I with our America colors on

50,000 people came to watch

These jets fly over before the show starts, tradition

They presented the troops and the colors

This little boy was especially cute, he was taught well

Carrie Underwood put on a great show

Then a WONDERFUL fireworks show followed. I'm glad to be an American, I love our country!

The Motherland

Last week I went home to Irvine for a few good reasons......

1. Brek Graduated

2. Jenna went through the temple and had her mission farewell

3. We had a graduation, farewell, baby shower party for the girls

4. One last visit to 9 Laurelwood, the Mettra's home of 10 years R.I.P.
