24th of July Celebration

Jennie had her wisdom teeth out this week.  I have to say, she was pretty nice to me on drugs.  She even called me during her skating lesson to tell me she loved me.  She was the most swollen 3 or 4 days following the surgery,  but was a lot better on Saturday.  She did get dry socket, which caused her a little bit of additional pain. Jordan came over to take care of her Monday night so that Me, Roy and Caitlyn could go up to Logan for Matt's annual fireworks show.  He is able to buy fireworks at a really good discount from his boss, and is great to share the fun with everyone around. 

Crista's good friends invited them to a barbecue that same evening, and were kind enough to extend the invitation to us.  The family had a Traeger grill, so Roy had a lot to talk to them about.  They made delicious pork sandwiches (the pork wasn't fatty at all), baked beans, salads, and fruit.  I thought their beans rivaled Roy's, but they said all they did was drain the beans thoroughly, and add 1 C of their favorite BBQ sauce (to large can of baked beans), and add some of the pork. 

Ruby took this picture of me!

 Between the barbecue and the fireworks, we walked over to a park near their home and joined a lot of other people that Matt had invited to the fireworks.  Matt served snow cones and someone brought homemade ice cream.  There were a lot of other desserts, but these were the most tempting because it was a hot day. Dan brought his kids up from Centerville.  It's a lot of works to bring the kids all that way, but I think it was worth it.  They had a blast!

Greta.  I think she was getting tired.  She'd had a LONG nap
so Crista woke her up.  Looks like she could have slept
longer.

Hyeji and Dojin

Yuna was doing her exercises on these bars.  She
was quite a way from the ground and she was doing tricks
like hanging from the bar with one leg... She's  so flexible.

Ruby.  I'm not sure, but I think she's getting ready to talk.
  She loves to talk!!!

Fireworks were the reason we went to Logan and they  did not disappoint.  As you can see from some of the pictures, the kids had more fun with each other and the light sticks than they did with the fireworks.

Getting ready for fireworks
I really tried hard to put this picture before some of the others, but
the computer has a mind of its own sometimes.

We took a couple of pictures of Caitlyn on Sunday to show her progress.  She's looking a lot better but still doesn't have her full smiling capabilities.  She hasn't started chewing yet--we're hoping they'll let her progress to soft chew after her appointment on Monday.  She also has to wear the braces for a few more months.

Adrienne invited us to dinner Sunday night.  The boys are full of it and it can be a bit chaotic at their house, but as you can see in the two pictures below, they have lots of love for each other.

To end the week, we visited Effie and Nick for their birthdays, one day early.  Below is Effie showing off her birthday gifts.
