End of June Events

Man this Summer is just flying by, and yet it's going slow.  Either way I need to do a quick update, starting w/ the last couple days in June. 

On Thursday June 28^th I had a baby shower with my mom’s sisters at my Aunt Sherri’s.  I rode the train down to 2100 South then Steve picked me up.  No one was there yet so we went and got a burger for dinner.  When we got back Pauline was there, then Rose showed up, then my parents.  They actually drove down that day and went and visited Rose and the girls for a while.  My Aunt Roseanne showed up a ½ hr later but the rest of the aunts/cousins didn’t show up for another hr after it started.  We of course decided to wait for them before playing any of the games.  We had treats then opened gifts.  Steve, my dad and Uncle Stephen were upstairs watching a movie, and then came down for snacks.  It was fun and I’m thankful for the gifts I received, there were great!  Thanks for organizing it Pauline, Rose and Mom!  Since we started late we left kinda late as well.  My parents stayed there that night so they could be closer to Bountiful for the funeral the next morning (for my Grandpa Hegerhorst’s brother Fred, he was 92). 

Baby Nyles....he's getting so big!

On Friday Steve went and picked my dad up after the funeral w/ Rob then headed out the cabin.  Steve’s dad and mom were on their way back from Moab so they stopped in too.  They picked up some lunch stuff in Heber on the way then got the boat and went out fishing.  My dad was really enjoying himself so they stayed out on the boat until it was dark.  Steve said he still had his line in the water as they were getting into the dock (silly dad).  I guess they stayed up late watching a movie too.

After work my mom picked me up and we headed down to Riverton to pick up a baby changing station/dresser.  I saw it on KSL that afternoon and it was exactly what I was looking for, plus it was already stained the espresso color which would match our crib perfectly.  When we got there it was already wrapped up ready to go.  We couldn’t look in the drawers but she told us they were all working.  My mom and she loaded it into my mom’s car (it was heavy so I felt bad I couldn’t help).  One the way back we got a frozen yogurt at Maverick, then went and picked up pizza for dinner.  My mom’s sister Connie called us a little after that and said she had a changing pad and covers for me.  She dropped them off at Sherri’s house so we ran up there and got it, then stopped and got some groceries before heading home.

 Our new changing station/dresser plus changing pad...yeah!

On Saturday the 30th, my mom and I slept in a little then I made chocolate muffins for breakfast.  Steve and my dad got home just in time to get changed and go to my graduation.  They unloaded the changing station first though.  It fit perfectly in the room, w/ the changing pad and matched well w/ the crib, yeah!  We then went down to South Jordan to where the graduation was being held.  Steve’s parents met us there also and Rose and her boyfriend Darren.  Thankfully it didn’t last too long so we were in and out w/in an hour or so.

Can't forget baby Nyles was there too ;)

We then all headed over to Golden Coral for lunch; they even had a chocolate fountain and cotton candy, yeah!  Steve’s parents had to go after that, so the rest of us went over to our place and played a game and visited.  Rose and Darren then left and we decided to head up the canyon.  Steve wanted to show my dad how to fly fish, so since we had a couple hours we figured why not, plus it was cooler up in the canyon.  I think my dad enjoyed it, I know Steve definitely did.  We spent a couple hours up there, then headed back so my parents could change and go to a reception for one of my dad’s cousin’s kids.  Since it was really hot Steve and I decided to go swimming then took it easy until my parents came back.

Cotton candy yeah!

Dad all suited up and ready to go fly fishing

Sunday morning for breakfast I made my dad some eggs and hash browns while my mom had some chocolate muffins.  My parents then headed home, but were going to stop in Jerome for a baby blessing.  They had quite the “adventure” while here and plenty of activities to keep them busy if you couldn't tell.  They definitely had an eventful weekend to say the least.  It was fun having them though. Even if it was quick I’m glad they could make it down and celebrate w/ us ;)
