The End Is Here

Its over. . .summer that is, I can't believe it!!! Yes today is my last day of summer vacation!!!! I guess it's time to go back to school, but it just seems so early!!! What will Parker do for the 3 days of summer without me there.

Well yesterday I was at softball pretty much all day, form 10:00 in the morning till around 2:00 in the after noon, poor Parker. When I first got out of my car in the garage I could here some sort of loud noise coming from the house. . .what could it be I thought to myself . . .nothing other than Parker playing his Saxophone, yes he was so bored without me that he was playing his saxophone, had memorized the scout oath, called to see if Cousin Willie was home for an HOUR straight, and had gone outside to play catch with himself, but had to come back in cause there was a killer bee after him!!!

Yes . . .More Videos

I had a request to put the other videos from our vacation on our blog so here they are!! THe first is anothe ron of my dad, then Traffic Control Lady part two, and then finally while we were at the beach my mom took some video of us in the water. . .wrecking!!

We're Back!!!!

SO after a very long and good vacation we are back!!! It really was a ton of fun, from crazy traffic control lady, to Billy and the Hillbilly's, to the wonderful ocean. . .ahhh and then there was the weather. . .it was soo nice, not too hot and defiantly not too cold!!

Although I loved the whole trip I would have to say that I now love San Diego, it was soo nice the weather there was amazing!! Sea World was fun and the night shows were way cool. Then Disneyland was of course way fun, and really not all that crowded!!!

I really can't describe the whole trip so here are some pics and hopefully some videos!!!!!!!!

Some things never change - just the location....

Preston will have been in Argentina for one year on July 16th. It has flown by and he is working hard and staying focused. No baptisms yet - but several scheduled for the end of the month. He is stoaked and you can tell in his face that he is happy to be there....


Whether at home in Utah or down south in Rio Gallegos - Preston loves food, cell phones and crazy outfits.....

Waiting for someone to post.....

So - I have been waiting for someone in the Woods in the Hood to post about our latest events - but I guess SHE isn't going to...

The week of the 4th of July started out with a bang - or should I say - bite. MKW was jogging home from softball practice and was "attacked" by a dog - bit just above the elbow. This resulted in high emotions in the Wood House - a tetnus shot - antibiotics, - and a visit with WVC Animal control. The dog belonged to the WVC Manager - and apparently has bitten before. Well - MKW is doing okay and the dog is not - he is now in doggy heaven - because as we know - ALL DOGS GO TO HEAVEN......

Other events of the week - Movies at the Redwood Drive-In - 5K run - Magna Parade (yuck) - lunch at Jackies - swim at Grandmas - and then "Stadium of Fire" in lovely Provo, Utah. It was fun even if Judy had to leave her bag of licorice with a family outside of the stadium and no diet coke to consume. Miley Cyrus (yes that's Miley on our blog) and the Blue Man Group were awesome - the crowd was very large - and the fireworks were spectacular.

Getting out of BYU was a challenge in that the cars in our parking lot were NOT MOVING. This resulted in Cindy getting out of the car to see what the holdup was - backing up and turning around - merging (actually butting) ahead of non-agressive drivers - getting "honked at" - following an agressive older blonde woman in a van - Meranda telling us to "follow your heart" when deciding which direction to go - Willie asking if we could stop for food - and getting out of Zoobie Land faster than any of us thought we would!!!!

It was a great week!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MERANDA!!!

Today she is doing what she has been doing for most of her birthdays - playing softball!!!

When asked about it, she said, "I wouldn't want to do anything else!".

We love you Meranda!!!!
