Our fun 3 day weekend!

It started out with a nice big rain storm that Bryanna {and Mark & I} really enjoyed! I can't understand when people say they don't like it when it rains. But growing up here, I think it is a treat when the rain drops are splashing against everthing! The rain storm was spectacular out where we live, watching the clouds roll over the mountain was a sight to behold! Bryanna had so much fun playing with the umbrella, which my sister actually sent to me while I was on my mission, and kicking and splashing in the gutter! It was so great to have a break from the heat!

We had a very fun get together over at my parent's house memorial day which included swimming, eating, and more swimming! I must admit that the food was just as wonderful as the company. The cousins LOVE playing together, especially if a pool is involved. Bryanna jumped off the cave for the first time with Daddy's help, she had a blast, and was worn out at the end of the day. My sister Camille had tried out a new recipe for some homemade rolls, and it was definitely worth the wait! It was so delicious topped with some honey butter...I think that could have been all my points for the week:) Needless to say, we had an awesome weekend, packed with so much fun!

On Friday night, my little sister had her 16th birthday party, and it was a total BLAST! My parents went all out on the food and entertainment...it was a hit! Bryanna even got in on the dancing with the Hula Dancers...she took a curtsey at the end of her little grass skirt shaking...it was hilarious!





After the Dancers performed, they had a DJ come and he had lights and music going til about 10:30, then all the kids jumped in the pool! My mom said the last kid left around 12:30am that night. I think it was a swinging party!!!!
