Aleecia turns 7

Thursday was Aleecia's Birthday. I can't believe my baby is 7. Dave and I went to her school to celebrate her birthday. We sang Happy Birthday and passed out sugar cookies to her class. We let her invite a friend over for pizza and cake. She wanted Halle to come so we ordered pizza and did cake. She wanted an Ipod for her birthday. So, we found her a purple Ipod on KSL. She loved it. Happy Birthday Aleecia we love you!

Davids sister and niece came from California to visit. Last time they were here we went to Pineview. We had such a good time last year that we decided to do it again this year. Most of the family came (even my father-in-law). We had a great time riding the tubes and swimming in the lake.

Mia's favorite thing was to sit on the blow up whale and cover it with mud.

Mia loves her baby cousin and tried to give him kisses.

We ate cake to celebrate all the August birthdays.

What the Heck is THAT?

The other day Aleecia and I were walking out to the car when we noticed something under the Tahoe. It looked like feathers. We got home and got a closer look. It was feathers and it looked like we hit a seagull. I don't get creeped out very easily but I was very creeped out when I had to pull it out. When I pulled it out it was just the wing. When David came home from work I asked him if he hit a bird. He said that there was a bird in the road and he couldn't swerve and hit it. Birds usually move away from cars but not when David is driving. This wasn't the first time he has hit a bird.

Days of '47 rodeo!

So, my dad calls me up and tells me he got free tickets to the rodeo from one of his clients. I hadn't been to a rodeo in years so I was excited! This was the first time Aleecia had been to a rodeo and she had a blast. She was telling me that she wanted to ride a horse and do the things the cowboys were doing until one of them got knocked out and had to go to the hospital. After that she kept saying "Do not try this at home". Aleecia wanted a hat so grandpa bought her a pretty pink one that lights up. It was a fun night. I think we need to make this a tradition.
