Lagoon...It's what FUN is!

We were at Lagoon from the moment it opened until the moment it closed and had a lot of fun! We got tickets for $11.00 each!

Rachel on the swings!

Rachel and Katelyn (Kimberly's daughter). Look how cute they look!

Jennifer with Katelyn and then Kimberly with McKayla! Katelyn and McKayla LOVED all the rides and were VERY sad when Lagoon closed!

Me, Rachel, Jennifer, Kimberly and Katelyn at Lagoon-a-beach. Katelyn loved the slides and I think we went 20 times (I think I stopped at 10) and could have gone 20 more times

Memorial Day Weekend

Me at Bruce's mom's gravesite. Bruce came later without the camera.

All of us at my Dad's gravesite!

This year for Memorial Day Weekend, we stayed home and did some fun things during the day with family while Bruce was working! We missed ya, Bruce.

Saturday, we went up and visited all the family gravesites. Then we went to a fun pastery shop in Salt Lake about 300 East and 250 South. Sunday, we had a barbeque at our home and after work, Bruce drove up to the cabin to have a barbeque with his family. I know, it's weird, but that's how it turned out this year and no we're not fighting or anything! :)

Monday, Rachel and Travis invited us to see their new home. They have it decorated so cutely (is that a word?) and we also had a continential breakfast. They were such fun hostesses! On the way home, we stopped in Layton at their Maddox and picked up chicken! It is the very best and we would on occasion drive to Layton to specifically buy Maddox Chicken.

The sad part of the day was that because of the holiday we did not get an email from Robby. Still not liking Monday holidays.

Happy Graduation, Rachel and Travis - You did it!

Happy Birthday!

Golfing gloves and a gift card to use at Costco from Dave, Lisa, Bruce & I and our families!

The 7 seven candles are the tricky ones that don't blow out! Made him llaugh!

Happy Birthday Dad Jackson/Grandpa Jackson! Hope we will be able to celebrate your 88th birthday with you! :)

Saturday, April 17, we celebrated Bruce's Dad's birthday with the Jackson family! We first met at Iggy's - I think one of Bruce's Dad's favorites cuz he can watch sports on a big screen - then later those who could, met our house for Birthday cake and gifts. This year Dad Jackson didn't want anything - seriously! So we, of course didn't listen and both Dave & Lisa and Bruce & I and our families went in on the golf glove and a gift card to Costco - which I think he really loved. We figured after his daily golf games this summer, he could drive over and look around at Costco and buy a hot dog or whatever for lunch! What do you really give your parents except really our time! Happy Birthday (April 20th)! Hope you had a great day!!!!!

Christmas in April!

So we received our Christmas package from Robby in April! In his email today he said that he forgot to bring paper and so he wrote us a letter on the bottom of the box. :) We didn't notice that he had done this and so glad we still had the box! Pretty clever. That's our Robby! :)

Around the Clock Bridal Shower

Megan & Chloe (Brittany's sister), Jennifer, Emily & Aubrey (Brittany's sisters), me, Brittany and Lisa (Brittany's mom)Barbara (Shawn's mom) Brittany, and Lisa (Brittany's mom)Brittany and Shawn. I think Shawn was happy to help Brittany open gifts. Aubrey made this wood piece - spelling out Family. It is VERY cute!Brittany and Shawn made the white chocolates. Half of these are of the Logan Temple where Shawn proposed. The other half are of the Salt Lake Temple where they will be married at. The pink are flowers. Brittany's favorite color has always and will always be PINK! Gotta love it!I had 3 p.m. I chose "Afternoon Delight!" Brittany was embarassed - Shawn loved it! Rachel said, "It wouldn't have matter what time my mom would have had, she would have gotten this gift in anyway." I think Rachel is very smart! It is SO true! We had a lot of fun!Brittany's sisters and her mom and I gave Brittany a shower. Jennifer, my niece, helped by getting my house together while I was at work. The theme we chose was "Around the Clock." On the invitations, everyone was assigned to buy a gift for their assigned time. It was a lot of fun. I think Brittany and Shawn really loved it. Shawn was a sport to join us. Brittany is the last of the Jackson girls to get married and so I think I am done giving bridal showers! I had a lot of fun doing it with the family. Megan's we had the guests make a Scrapbook page. Both Emily and Aubrey wanted the Alphabet Shower and Brittany liked the idea of "Around the Clock." I taped under the chairs a watchband with a watch face to go with the theme as the grand prize. 2nd place was just a watch band and third place was a bracelet. Friday night Shawn said it was fair for those that sat on the couch so I had two more bracelets and taped them on one of the two couch cushions! We served 5 different salads and had Pink, Purple, and Green Flowered cookies for dessert (Brittany's bridal colors). Thank you for everyone's help! It truly was a lot of fun!!!

Home Cooked Meal

Bruce got a home cooked meal and he didn't cook it this time! :) Thanks, Jennifer for making us dinner tonight! It was DELICIOUS! Not only did Jennifer cook, but she did dishes and cleaned up the kitchen! We don't having a working dishwasher, so it is truly a chore. In our home usually whoever cooks doesn't have to clean up but Jennifer said in their home, whoever cooks - cleans! It is too much for one person to do it all - gonna have to change Jennifer!

Thank you, Jennifer, we GREATLY appreciated all of your efforts! You are so very cute!

Shrimp Pasta, Tossed Salad, Fresh Pineapple and Breadsticks with Sparkling Berry Drink! It was very YUMMY!
