Don't ya just love Utah :)

So this is kind of funny to me, maybe you'll just think I'm a dork for taking pictures of it, but I saw this shortly after we got back to Utah and I couldn't help but laugh. This first pictures shows 2 LDS churches in the same parking lot :)....


And this one- the funniest one- shows a STOP LIGHT as you are leaving the church parking lot :) There is so much traffic in and out of here they needed a stop light :) How funny. I'm still laughing :)


We had a fun weekend. First the Bean Museum, then ice cream (oh, let's not forget our chips and bread picnic :) that was pretty fascinating for the kids :) jk), then in an effort to save money on gas for the weekend we headed on up to Bountiful. I had planned on staying at my Dad's after the wedding stuff on Friday since there was a reunion in Bountiful Saturday, but then that little plan slowly evolved into staying Thursday night too- since I was already going all the way to Provo. When we got to Bountiful we went over to Nana's and destroyed her house for a couple of hours before crashing at Grandpa's. We had to get up early for the wedding the next day. Friday was Maryn's wedding day. Then we spent the night at my Dad's again. Saturday we went over to Nana's house again, and we helped her pain killers make her head spin. Then we met up with my Mom at the park for a few hours and had chicken fingers. And then we went over to a different park for the Ferguson Reunion. I have yet to steal pictures from others that we were with this weekend, but I will get them on here eventually. So then after the reunion when I was taking Nana home, my car started acting really strange. Dying at every stoplight. Really annoying. So we headed on up to my Dad's to have him take a look at it. My poor Dad. He probably nervous just looking at me these days...everytime we see him it's something different we need his help with......but anyway- he wasn't sure what it was and it was pretty late, so we ended up staying ANOTHER night at his house (this was the 3rd night, 2nd unplanned). Sunday was interesting- Kelly's eyes were BOTH red and goopy (I thought maybe it was just allergies the day before when it was just the one eye, but it looked more like pink eye on Sunday) so we decided church was probably out of the question. SO anyway- we finally got home- in Grandpa's car- at 5:00 Sunday evening. Hopefully my car will not have something too terrible wrong with it and we can get our car back soon. Thanks again Dad for saving the day....we made it home for Charity to start school today and that was a blessing. That was our crazy long weekend :) It was fun. It was nice again to get out of the house, one last little "fling" before the Summer was officially over.

You truly amaze me. I can barely get me and the 3 kids out the door in the morning and you are able to get 5 kids and go off galavanting and still handle stupid car problems!!
