Jordanelle

Jared took the day off today (which doesn't happen very often) so we went with Jared's parents to Jordanelle. We took their boat- which I have been wanting to go on for years and hadn't yet. We rode the tube for awhile, ate some lunch in the middle of the lake and rode the tube some more. It was a fun day. The wind started to pick up and we decided it was time to head home.

My favorite show of the summer is....BIG BROTHER. All the other normal shows are on re-runs which makes this the only show that is new and on. I have watched it for a few summers now, and really it makes me laugh. I don't know how those people could be in a house with complete strangers and not know what is going on in the world, but I watch it anyway -I know, I am pathetic!

Last night we went to Bountiful to watch the parade, and have a BBQ at my brother & sister in-law's house. The parade passes by the bottom of their road, so we parked at their house and walked down. It was HoT, but it was lots of fun. I of course forgot my camera so I am using the one picture of my cute niece Breda, she looks like she is ready to melt! We didn't stay until the end because of the heat and the kids..we went back to Jeff's and started cooking the food. It was fun, hopefully we can do it again next year!

I got the cutest purse today, really it is so cute! It has shells that you can change out, which makes it a different purse when you get bored of it. Right now I only have one shell which I got on ebay. So far I am happy with it, but I did just get it today. It is a miche bag.

Not much new going on with us. We went to the temple open house last night, it is beautiful.
Been selling books on ebay- just ones I have had forever and don't plan on reading again. Alot of my hardback ones I am keeping, like my Harry Potter series- I won't give that one up!!
Jared's sister and her family are now in town, we will probably see them quite a bit. Don't know what we will be doing though since we both work during the day.
I went to the dentist last week because my front tooth is bothering me. He thinks the best thing to do is pull them and put in implants, which is very expensive and we aren't sure the insurance we have will cover any of it. Maybe we should have a fundraiser to raise $6,000 so I can get my teeth fixed. It is pretty pricey! BUT it is something we are going to have to do eventually since I need front teeth!
Other than that- life is moving along at a normal pace!

Happy 4th

We hope you have a happy and safe Independence Day! We are so thankful to live in America where we are free. We are going to go watch fireworks tonight at the Riverton park, they have a fun carnival where we can get treats!

I went today to see "My Sister's Keeper" with my Mother-In-Law. It was a good show but very emotional too..bring kleenex if you see it!

I am not sure what we are doing for the 4th of July tomorrow. We have been invited to two places...one a block party on Narin Road with friends & neighbors or to watch the fireworks in Riverton with Jared's parents & their friends! Either way it should be fun!

My nephew is 5 years old today! Where did those 5 years go? I called him this morning to wish him Happy Birthday and the first thing he said was "Are you getting me a Transformer for my Birthday?" I better get on that!Happy Birthday Trey, we love you!

Love- Uncle Jared & Aunt Melanie
