4th of July

Scott went to Texas again on Monday and Tuesday. We thought his last trip was last month but the sale of the property was postponed another month. That night we ended up having a girl's night at my house. We had a fun time chatting into the night. Tuesday night Scott got back and we got caught up on the last couple of episodes of 24. Wednesday Gabby had her follow up appointment with the ear, nose, and throat P.A. Her throat looks good. I guess her big scabs fell off. She handled it like a champ because I don't even know when it happened. She handled her surgery and recovery amazingly well. The P.A. said that only about 10% of patients are like that. Lucky us! Last night I went to check on the sleeping kids and I couldn't hear Gabby breathing. I had to go right up to her face to hear her. Amazing!

Kelsey and Justin came late Wednesday night for the weekend. Justin's uncle hired them to help set up the fireworks for the city of Boise. We got to hang out with them for a little bit before we headed to Utah. They were great at entertaining our kids while we were packing.

We left for Utah for our big St. George trip on Thursday. The main reason we came down on Thursday was because Scott really wanted to go karaoke and it turns out that place got shut down. Scott was very sad. On Friday we went to  the delicious Holladay City 4th of July breakfast. The rest of the day we hung out and later had scrumptious burgers on the deck for dinner. We were waiting to go to the Holladay fireworks but while we were waiting there were people lighting illegal fireworks all around us. We had a great fireworks show right in Nicole and Rustin's backyard. It was great.

On Saturday we caravan-ed down to St. George. The house has tons of bedrooms which is great. The pool is pretty small so that's a little sad but I'm sure we will still have a blast swimming all week. I can't wait to watch Corbin swim all week. I'm hoping to work with Gabby this week as well.

Kids Quotes:
Corbin:
"How old will you be when you are killed?" Bah!
"Mom, are you cute?" Me: "Do you think I'm cute?" C: "Yes." Me:"I guess I'm cute then."

Gabby: "Piper kicked me and I didn't kick her." (Hmmm..quite a telling statement).
"Mom they're so sparkly and gorgeous and sparkly."

Piper: "Mom, you got new pink shoes? Great job!"
