I guess it is time for some words. I know that some of you have already looked at the pictures. Sorry. It has taken me a while to get some time to sit down and write this. Anyway, it’s been a long time since we updated so there is a lot to talk about. Let’s start with the 4th of July. We had a great time with the Quilters and the Kaysville Parade.

Ryan got a Tie. The missionary mall was driving down the parade route throwing stuff out. That was cool. Then we had a good time at the huge family bar-b-que. Lots of the Haacke's were there. Later that night, we got ready for the fireworks. You can't believe how many tries it took to get that photo.

It was now Ryan's Birthday and we decided to spend his birthday at the sunset city days. It was lots of fun. They had a parade in the morning and activities at the park by our house. We went to play bingo and won the big grand prize. We got camp chairs camp stove, 20 gift card to Harmon’s, roasting sticks, and sleeping bags. We used that stuff a few days ago to go camping but that is another story for another post.

I guess the picture that I had got deleted. I’ll have to get it back.

We also had to take Cathan to the hospital to have his growth in his mouth removed. This picture was taken while Cathan was starving; he hadn’t eaten anything since the night before. He was such a trooper and did such a good job at the hospital. He didn’t really have any problems after the surgery. We are so proud of him.

As a family we have all decided that we were going to do things that are fun and free. One of the things that we saw on our bulletin board at our church was that there were free concerts at a park in Salt Lake. This concert was lots of fun. Cathan loved it. He was dancing and playing with us.
Also since the last time we were on, we went to the Farmington pool with the quilter’s ward. Cathan loves getting in the pool and I can say that his parents like it to. We had lots of fun at the pool. Cathan likes to splash and spin around in circle. Kami had lots of fun playing with him. That was his first experience in a shower. Ryan took him in to change him and get the chlorine off of him. He likes the shower. I didn’t think that he would.
Unfortunately for this last activity we did not take Cathan. We are just worried parents and don’t want to take him on the boat. We went out for a day of wakeboarding. The first time this year. We took Matt Hall and one of his friends with us.
If you had fun reading this blog, good for you. We will be better at writing more frequently. Have fun for now.
