JP's parents, 4th of July, and Corbins Bday

Last week was a blast. Sunday the 28Th of June JP's parents surprised us and showed up a day early. They actually flew from South Carolina to Utah in Jonathan's personal plane. They took there time and enjoyed their flight. We played hard all week long. Monday we went to seven peaks for a day in the sun. Tuesday we sort of just got little projects done, JP had to work during the days so I would do my best to entertain during that time. I didn't do much they just loved playing with the kids. We ate at Tucanos afterwards. JP and I can't help it we love that place. We actually went up to a Becca's sister-in-laws cabin Wednesday to go 4-wheeling and just relax in the mountains. We grilled out and started a fire to make smores with. Thursday night we invited my mom and Dad and Becca and Joe over for a big game night. We played a game called Snigglets. It's sort of like Balderdash done backwards. It was tunz of fun. Then they actually had to fly out early Friday morning to their next destination, their daughter Xan's house in Post Falls ID. They had to head out early to avoid bad weather. All in all it was a busy but super fun week. We already miss them and can't wait to see them again. Kristen, their youngest daughter will be having her baby in a week, so we are all going there the end of July for the baby blessing and for their graduation from BYU Idaho. I would post pictures with this, but they are all on Michelle's camera. As soon as I get some I will add them. The Summer seems to just keep on bumping! Never a dull moment.
For the Fourth of July we went to the new ice age movie(which Corbin didn't even blink during the entire thing) he loved it! Then we headed out to my parents for dinner and fireworks. Corbin wasn't so sure he liked the fireworks at first. He couldn't figure out why it was okay to blow things up on purpose. He kept trying to escape back into the house. Finally we went up on the deck and watched them from up above. Then later he was okay to come down and be closer to the action. Kayla slept through it all! She's a sucker for constant loud noise. It puts her to sleep every time. I wish I could do that.
Okay so I'm a firm believer that "a chocolate a day, keeps wrinkles away" My favorites happen to be milk chocolate Dove. Oh man its glorious. I love eating healthy but just onelittle morsel of cholcolate a day really does me good. And the Dove chocolates come with little quotes that make it even better. So I thought I would leave you with a few of those profound quotes today :)

"In chaos there lies opportunity"

"Too much of a good thing is wonderful"

"Smile when you want to, cry when you need to, laugh whenever possible!"

"Forget the potholes in the road and celebrate the journey instead"

Have a great week!

  1. Those are my #1 choice too. I have been going through a bag a week.....I can't believe I just admitted that. I love reading the quotes on them too.
