Dave goes thru shoes like women go thru makeup. He used up and wears out his shoes in a matter of months, doing all that climbing on ladders, going thru bushes and in and out of window wells. What a hard worker... he deserves a new pair of shoes.
IT OFFICAL... ABBY IS A TEENAGER
/
Abby turned 13!!! and is a teenager! We told her we are so glad she is a teen but that she can't act like one!! We'll see how long that lasts... AH!
She got Money (of course) and a new bedroom set so her room looks more like a teens room, although it already has clothes, makeup, shoes, cd's and bedding all over her floor.
She spent the day with her best friend, Tessa, going roller skating and to the movies, then home to a family party.
Welcome to teenager-hood!!
A New Adventure
/
This year I am breaking fears!! I have always been afraid of horses, things in the water and heights, and have always wanted to do new things but afraid I wouldn't be able to or to be more exact... afraid that I would try and not be able to due to my weight. So 35 pounds down we went on a horse back ride in Puerto Vallarta, thru the Mexican mountains, up and down huge hills with one side of the cliff gone to look straight down 40 feet, thru rivers and to a beautiful view of the Puerto Vallarta valley. On that same trip we went snorkeling in Cabo San Lucas in the Sea of Cortez. It was so amazing to be somewhere so beautiful and see so many amazing sea animals.
Down 20 more pounds I decided that I wanted to be able to see more of the sea animals and things of that different world, so Dave and I took SCUBA lessons!!! We took classes at Scuba Utah, and let me tell you that Jeff is the best instructor. I would recommend them to anyone who was interested in diving!! He was patient and took time out with each of us so that we felt comfortable in the water. We learned how to survive almost any scuba disaster and how to swim with the fishes.
Dave and I only missed one each on the final test.."Go Us" and took our 2 open water dives to complete the course, up at the Crater at the Homestead in Midvale. It is a beehive shaped cavern with a natural warm water spring water, about 90 degrees year round. It is about 60 feet deep, with a plastic alligator and plastic turtle, a platform, wagon wheel and several PVC squares to practice on. There is a hole in the top of the dome to let light in and an entrance dug thru the side to gain access so you don't have to jump in from the hole on the top, like you use to.
We passed with flying colors and are now officially certified SCUBA divers. Our first dive is in August at Sand Hollow Reservoir... soon to come.

Parker turned 19 this year. We told him that he had to grow up, so he got a hair cut and got a job at Golden Corral. He is getting ready for his mission, which he is excited to go on.... but will NOT say where he would like to go.
We had a family party.... if you can't tell by the photos... it was a party!! He got a CTR ring and good old hard CASH, and a card with a kid picking his nose.... ewwww
Celebrating the 4th with Family

Our 4Th was spending the evening with family and watching North and Abby light fireworks for us, with out setting Parker on fire... he was trying to get pictures with his phone. We had a great time, as usual.
Dave meets some celebrities
/
A few days before the 4th of July Dave went to the "Sidewalk of Fire" that was being hosted by 101.9 The End. He met Chunga, Cort and Chelsea from the morning show, who we are going on the Cruise Loco 2 with. He had Chunga burgers (at 8 in the morning!! ewwww) and watched the sad firework show. 
While he was there he met and hung with this wierd looking guy...Trevor Snarr, who played Don on Napoleon Dynamite. Dave met Trevors dad who just happens to be the Mayor of Murray, Mayor Snarr. A few days later at a ward breakfast we were talking to the Bishop, Dave telling him about meeting Trevor and Mayor Snarr, and the Bishop breaks it to us that that is his wifes Dad and brother! Talk about a SMALL world! Bishop Dombrosky said that family get-togethers are very crazy! I could imagine :)
