Pioneer & Birthday

Sorry this is a week late! I knew Dave never should've promised his family a post with pictures coming soon. I think he jinxed us! We've had a "broken" computer all week and finally had to reinstall Windows in order for it to work properly. I've started a new job and their software and our wireless card didn't like each other, but it took us an entire week to figure that one out! Not something that us or their IT guy even imagined would be the problem, go figure! So, here is what happened in our lives last weekend...

July 24th is a state holiday in Utah (Pioneer Day) so we decided to celebrate it in our own small way. We spent about $2 on fireworks and put on a nice little show in our backyard.

After our 24th of July celebration on Friday, we spent the rest of the weekend in the mountains. We hadn't been camping yet in Utah this summer so we thought it would be nice to get away. We both enjoy camping a lot and enjoy the peace and quiet of the mountains. We also celebrated Dave's birthday (7/26).

We bought Buddy a sweater so he won't freeze on our camping adventures! Missy has a pink one too, but she doesn't need it as much as he needs his.

Happy 31st birthday Dave!


Make a wish!

Dave took this picture and sent it to all of his family. He was so proud of his pre-fire creation. I figured he would want it on here as well!

We had the best birthday dinner, steak and potatoes! This is a little oven contraption that we used to bake the potatoes in. They turned out perfect! The steak was the best steak we've had in a long time as well. It was a GREAT meal!

Doesn't it look like Dave's head is on fire?
