July 4th Weekend

>Well, I don't have all the pictures I would like to post. Steph & Mickel took some of them, but they need their computer to download, and the computer is buried in my garage.

The weekend started on Thursday, with a visit from Kris' babies, Dora and Lilo, for the weekend. Add two dogs (both pretty excitable in their own way) to a 22 month old curious girl, and chaos ensues. By the time I made it home from work on Thursday, things were off to a rough start. But soon Kaiya was enthralled with "Dolo" and "Lilo" (she can say that one pretty well). Kris and Sterling were in St. George for the weekend, having some July 4th fun with his brother and family. Here's a great picture of our Princess Warrior.

We took Kaiya and Teague to the West Jordan parade on the 4th. I've never been to it, though I've lived in West Jordan for 16 years. It's pretty "podunk" but probably about right for Kaiya, plus we got pretty good seats! Steph & Mickel watched fireworks from Wasatch Blvd., but I passed so I could get some work done.


On Sunday, we had a surprise 30th birthday party for Sterling. Perhaps he was just hiding it well, but he did seem surprised! As I told him, 30 is the new 20 (actually, I told him it was the new 15, but I don't know if any of us would want to be 15 again ... really).
