...tillis

my sister-in-law lauren trained a puppy to be a guide dog a couple of months ago and then sent him off to training school. He was all ready to graduate and be set up to go with a blind man, and then they found out he had come up 'lame' because of something that was wrong with his bone (as you can tell i don't know the story too well) but anyway, long story short, he got to come home! he's such a good dog and i love him...i want to keep him for my own, but i'll let them keep him i guess :)

...our new addition

we got a scooter! we finally can buy gas for only $5 a fill up, and get 70 miles a gallon...life's great! we love our new little scooter so much that we drive it pretty much everywhere. we took it to a church parking lot yesterday and i learned how to drive it. I'm still not quite "road ready" because my turns are so wide, but one day you'll see me cruisin' around!

...jordan's birthday

on june 30th we had a family birthday party for our nephew jordan. he turned 3! it was so much fun, we had dinner, adorable cupcakes, and a fun game of "pin the bus driver in the bus"! we had so much fun playing with the kids!



...golfing

so for those of you who don't know, Ryan got a second part time job for the summer, he works up at the Logan Golf and Country Club mowing the greens. This new job sparked a new interest in him...so we got him a set of clubs, and now he loves to go golfing all the time! one day after work he called to see if i wanted to go golfing, so of course i went, and our friends tanner and kirstin went with us too. it was so much fun, and a great way to spend a summer afternoon!

...random

ok so this is really random, but we saw a deer in the front yard! Ryan was out mowing his parents yard and he came into get me and was like "HURRY COME ON, COME ON!!!" it was awesome! but then a bird starting pecking at it and made it run away....wow deer can jump high and quick!

...baseball

Ryan has been playing baseball this summer with the Hyrum Hornets again. There are games every Tuesday and Thursday night usually, and random make up games or exhibition games in between. I love going to watch them, not only cause I love baseball, but because it gives me something to do all summer!
