Happy (belated) Birthday to Asher

Asher turned the terrific two on June 29th. (gramma's think they are terrific not terrible) Sadly we were not able to be there this year but, we did use the web cam to watch her open her gift from us. Melissa has some great pictures of her. Asher called one morning last week and left a cute message on our answering machine, saying "hello Gamma". I listen to it every day. We love you sweetie!

Happy Independence Day

We had a great day! We feasted on a great breakfast that Leslie made for us. We watched movies and then went to Lauren's for great company and great food. Mike and I watched fireworks from home, while Kelly went to the Texas Station to watch them live. (we could see fireworks from the upstairs window all over town)

Saturday we went to Tuachahn to see Les Miserables. We made a day of it and stopped at Tai Pan and Krummpet's and then to dinner at Cracker Barrel. Mike and Kelly played a LONG game of checkers in the general store after dinner. Neither one wanted to lose so they finally called it a tie so we could leave.

We arrived at the theater in time to hear part of the pre show. The man that played Javier is also a country singer and put on a pretty nice show. Most people were just sitting there but our family helped liven it up by singing along and clapping to the music, he mentioned that he was glad we came! So we had to buy his CD. He does have a good voice.

The play was fantastic and we all enjoyed. We had all seen it but Leslie, but she has played the music on the piano for years. She was happy to put it all together, and now understands the story. If you have not been to this theater you are missing out. It is a beautiful outdoor theater that is built right up against the red cliffs of the St. George area in a little town named Ivins. You can check out their website at: http://www.tuacahn.org/

we try to go every year as part of our Fourth of July celebration.

Virus!!

Our computer crashed a week ago. It was working when I went to bed and the next morning it had nothing. Lauren's brother-in-law came and spent several hours working on it today. He had hoped to restore the hard drive for us the way it was, but it did not work at all. He had to wipe it clean and re-install everything. He seems to think we picked up a virus.

The really sad news is that we lost all our pictures! All of Asher from the time she was born till now, all of Jaman, and our vacations. It is really sad. So I urge you all to make copies of your pictures so you don't lose any like we just did!

Father's Day Wii

We all decided that it was time to upgrade our ORIGINAL nintendo from the 1980's. So we planned to buy Mike a Nintendo Wii for Father's Day and Birthday present, (since his birthday is 2 days after Father's Day) Leslie and I set out one Monday morning to find one. We started at our local Target store and the sales lady laughed at me when I asked to buy one! She said that they rarely have any in stock. So Leslie and I hit 4 other stores with pretty much the same reaction from sales people.

We came home and I looked online and found it at Target.com. Two days later it was delivered to the house, but, guess who found the box on the porch! Thank goodness he wasn't too nosey and did not look at the shipping label that said what was in the box! I quickly hid the box so he wouldn't find it.

So anyway, yesterday we had one of Mike's favorite dinners and then he opened it and had a little boy grin of excitement. We got it all set up to play and had a great time with it last night. It really does give you a workout if you put some effort into it. My arm hurts from bowling and playing tennis.
