Blood Drive

I went to donate blood, and took Ciera with me.  She really wanted to donate... I was worried that she wouldn't be able to for some reason or another.  But, she did it!  I actually only filled a half pint before I had them stop it.  The lady didn't get my vein right, and after trying to move the needle around a bunch, and it hurting badly, I stopped.  But, Ciera did it just fine!  I am proud of her for being so brave!

Chloe's Headboard

Dave helped Chloe make a headboard for her bed... She chose a design, and they executed the construction together.  I then helped her with the paint.  It turned out so cute!!

Thank You Firefighters!

Autumn had the idea to make cookies for the firefighters at the station right by our house to say "Thank you"!  We delivered them, and they gave us a tour of the station, and let the girls get in the fire engine.  Autumn and Ciera were the only ones brave enough to do it! :)

Family Vacation to Utah

We drove to Saint George and met Suzanna's family, and Grandma and Grandpa Tanner, who brought Tanner and Hannah.  We had fun hanging out, swimming, hiking, and catching up!  After that, we drove up to Logan, with a stop at Temple Square.  During our drive there, we played a fun game where we got random items every time we stopped at a gas station to fill up... we drew papers from a hat, and HAD to get that item.  Some items were normal, like a pack of gum, keychain, or candy. Some were more weird, like a gas-station food item, or personal care item.  It was fun! We love our time in Utah!!

Happy Independence Day!

We went to our friends, the Dennys, for a BBQ, swimming, and fireworks.  It is fun when we get together with good friends.  We love our country, and love to celebrate our freedom and liberty!  I am so thankful to live in such a wonderful place... where we have the ability to choose and live as we want!  Happy birthday America!
