Go BIG!


One of the things that we did for the fourth of July is go down to my parents house and have a hot dog roast.  My parents had some giant sparklers that I was excited about.  See how happy I am,  I always like fireworks!  Very entertaining and fun.  Don't worry, no one was injured:)


When I roast marshmallows, I go big!  It took a while, but here I am proud of my golden brown giant marshmallow:)   We had fun throwing grapes at each other and eating our burnt hot dogs.   We even had some dutch oven peach cobbler.   We love to get together with the family.   We believe we truly have the best family ever!

THE GETAWAY

For Chelsea's birthday I planned a little weekend getaway.  We stayed at the homestead resort.   Here is the view outside our cottage sweet.   Below is the view looking outside our door.  


















We enjoyed our stay.  On our way to go swimming at the pool we walked the grounds and saw a little bit of wildlife like a gopher and a butterfly.   Later that day a deer was standing right outside our porch area.

Here is a picture of the room.  We were excited because we were able to rent a movie and watch it in the room and it had a huge bathroom and tub.










Of course some of the highlights include food!  We ate lunch at Main St Pizza and Noodle, one of the places we ate while we were on our honeymoon.   Here I am enjoying my pasta.


Chelsea is definitely  enjoying her pasta.  We still like that place.


We ate dinner at the grill in the main building.  We got to sit at a table outside on the balcony up against the fish pond.  There were geese and all kinds of fish in the water. 

 
We ordered our food and fed the fish while we waited.  Chelsea ordered a chicken fried steak and it was as big as her plate.   I got a big rib-eye steak.  The food was great!   It's so pretty in Park City this time of year.



Below is a picture of us at a car show we went to on Saturday.


After, we got some ice cream at Yellow Snow.  It's a cool little place this guy set up where he sells home-made ice cream and has games to play and couches to sit and hang out.  Here's a picture of Chelsea on the big purple chair. 


MMMM..... We love home-made icecream!


After we left Park City we stopped at Sugarhouse Park where we fed the seagulls and Ducks.  Chelsea is feeding it some bread.  It's always fun to throw in the bread and watch them dive after it and see how daringly close they will come toward you to get it:)


Then we went to the art festival which was mostly a bunch of crazy people everywhere.  But I was able to see Richard Elliot, the organist for the Tabernacle Choir. 

And that's how it went down.  We had a lot of fun.

Emergency Room Visit

Chelsea had a migraine for two weeks and so the doctor said to go to the emergency room to try and break the cycle. When we arrived she was very tense and her heart rate was high.   But after she got the drugs flowing in the IV she felt great!  The picture was taken after we had been there for a while.


She fell right asleep and felt good for two days!   It was great, it gave us the opportunity to celebrate her birthday and also our two year anniversary which is next month. 


She still has the headache but there is not much she can do right now.   Some days are better than others.  We hope that after she has the baby the headache will go away.  She's doing a good job dealing with it.
