Aug 15th-20th

On Wednesday of the week we had Heather's friends party. It was really weird not having the other kids around to help, but she had a lot of fun with friends and the party was a hit. They played fruit basket, went swimming, had push pops for their cake and opened presents. How they opened presents was very interesting. They would pick someone without Heather knowing and they would say happy birthday or sing happy birthday and she would guess who they were. It was fun to watch.

Sunday we had a the family birthday party for Heather while grandma was here. David is playing on his phone before the present opening began.

Bob and Gloria came up for a birthday party and stayed with us at the end of Lindon days and the beginning of this week. It was nice to have them around, but pretty crazy. They seemed to survive and left on Tuesday and took Alan and Timothy with them. They wanted to go spend some time with cousins before school started. They stayed down there until Monday and came home and started school on Tuesday. They had a good time and had fun with family.

Before they left, Sara when to Idaho to go pack packing with my mom. My mom had it all planned and they had a great time. Sara did great and even helped a little with grandma's load. They hiked four days and three nights. She went on a boat ride, saw five lakes, spent quality time with grandma and even made it to the hot springs before she got on the plane to come home. Yes, my mom tries to have as much fun in the shortest amount of time as possible. Never a dull moment.
