ALLIE'S SPECIAL DAY!

Hooray for Allie! She's now 8 years old and baptized! What a fun day for the family to be together and to share Allie's special day...lots of family and friends! She is one sweet girl! We love you Allie.

GREAT FUN AT THE PARK

After the baptism and a few chores, we met up with Angie, Paul, Jenn, Kambree & Brooklyn for some yummy pizza and a little bit of fun at the park just around the corner from our house. I didn't know the slide was soooo high until Kambree started to climb the stairs! But...it didn't stop her. It didn't slow Jenn or Poppy down either from having a little fun on the slide!

Fun Video To Watch!

Angie is teaching me how to post videos. She really liked this one too!!

Olympic Park - Park City

Mom and I took a little trip on Saturday to go shopping in the outlook malls in Park City. While we were there we drove by the olympic Park and they were getting ready to do a show. So we went to there show. It wasn't worth the $10 per person but it was something I have wanted to do, so we went. Here are a few pictures from this trip. By the way the bubbles in the water are there to make the landing a little softer. I wonder just how much it was softer. Any way enjoy the pictures, we had a great time.

Jay Leno

Guess what - Another person has contacted me and wants to publish this picture of Jay Leno that we took while we were in Universal Studios in May. Someone from NowPublic wants to use this picture to write a story about Jay as he is preparing to leave the Tonight Show. So I gave my permission to use this picture. Wow this is fun. I guess I am going to have to start to charge for some of my pictures. Photography is such a great hobby. I really enjoy it and I really have fun. I just need to keep on practicing and learning. I haven't shot a single picture in the last 3-4 weeks.

HAPPY BIRD-DAY TO US!

Or at least that is what we are hoping (and praying!) for! These 3 little birdie's have gotten so big (yep, there's 3, one's ducking) over the last couple of weeks we couldn't believe they could all still fit in the nest.

A couple of days ago we looked up there and they were gone - but those little barn swallows keep coming back at night so today we moved their nest while they were away. I read up on these little birds and believe it or not they are protected by law. Legally we couldn't move the nest until the babies left the nest. Being law-abiding we let them stay until they learned to fly!

We have a great big pine tree they are more than welcome to call home!

Wonder what we've been doing the last couple of weeks?

For the last 2 or 3 weeks Robert and Mike Taylor have been working on a leak we had with our sprinkler system. We thought it was fixed the first Saturday, but noticed we still had water building up, so Robert dug it up again. After that we left it open until we were sure it was fixed...which we hope it is now. The 24th of July started about 7AM working in "the hole" but we believe tonight it is fixed. We hope so because we just filled the hole in...again. Do we know how to celebrate or what? Happy July 24th! We like Mike Taylor but we'd like to let him have his Saturdays back without a visit to the Toones.
