4th of July 2009

Me, being the great mom that I am (note the sarcasm), decided to take our kids out to breakfast for the 4th of July. Just trying to make it a fun memory. Ihop provided a yummy 4th of July breakfast for me & the boys.

The boys & their typical pose - they love each other, right?

Trying to take my own picture didn't work out so well. Austin kept
complaining about the sun being in his eyes.

On the way out, we saw all the puppies for sale outside of Walmart, so of course, we stopped.

We didn't have any plans for that day, so luckily, we were free when invited by our neighbors, Sean and Katie, to have dinner & watch the fireworks. This was when we first experienced the Costco, Morton's tritip. We are now addicted!

McKay & Roman: the Dickson's older two

Cute Presley: the youngest

From L to R: Kaden, McKay, Colton, & Spencer
(the two boys are some of Spencer's favorite friends/neighbors)

The boys played with neighbor kids & we did some small street fireworks before heading out to watch the big ones.

Sean was the brave one.

July 09 St. George Trip

I know, I know - this was almost a year ago. I'm just now catching up on my blog. I'm mostly doing this for memory sake. In July of 2009, I took a trip with my Aunt Judy Ann and two cousins, Connie & Kathy. It was so fun! We had lots of X-rated conversations and laughed & laughed. We went to 2 Tuacahn productions....Anne & Footloose, as well as some other productions in St. George. It was a good time.

Some of my favorite ladies: Aunt Judy Ann & cousin, Kathy and cousin,
Connie, next to me
The 3 amigos: on our way to go see one of our many plays

This is the amazing Tuacahn, outdoor theater in St. George, Utah.

Waiting....sweating!

We also did lots of eating out on our little "girls" trip. Lots of eating, lots of laughing, and of course, some shopping.

Kathy, with her camera, that kept catching some terrible shots of us, thought
she was so funny.

Our Footloose night.

You Can Dance", who starred in Footloose.



Our last day :(
