Happy Birthday to Two!

On Saturday and Sunday we celebrated birthdays.  Gavin and our little niece share the same birthday.  Funnily enough, Gavin also shares it with my sister.

Softball with a side of HALO!

Let's start off with the Softball, since that's what happened first. Well, actually, I guess that I need to start with the Halo.

Yes!  I play Halo.  I even have an XBOX live gold membership as well as Gavin.  Gavin and I get on with my brothers a couple times a week to play Halo 3 and the occasional Rockband.  We decided that today was the only day that we could get together and play Halo...ALL DAY LONG!  That was the plan, but when in Utah, plans change.

While we were there, we got to play a little bit of Rockband...

I Absolutely LOVE This!

I was waiting for this trailer to come out for, what seemed, forever. It's been out for a while now, but I wanted to post it anyway.

For those of you who haven't seen the movies or read the books...you are missing out.

Fireworks!

The boys never got a chance to see fireworks at the cabin, so we took them over to Gavin's parents.  Their neighborhood had a small display they decided to put on.  Everyone brings their fireworks and it was pretty cool.

Go the Distance!

I have a soft spot for causes, especially since I had to do a fundraiser for my cousin. I think it is important as members of the church and as people to give to others in need what we can.

I don't know this boy or anyone involved, but I know how hard it is to see someone you love struggling and being unable to afford life altering treatment. I don't live in Utah and won't be able to attend this event and I know that some of you have the same issue, but there is a donate button on their blog...do what you can.

The CABIN!!!

We just spent 2 weeks in Utah.  First off was the cabin.  There's always something to do...if you like to play games, ride 4 wheelers, go fishing, go shooting, play more games, work, and play even more games!  It's always nice to get up into the mountains and get a little bit of an escape.  There's always a lot of family.  There were 36 people, but believe it or not...that's only the tip of the iceberg...our family is much bigger than that.  Not everyone comes, but it's a little nice because we all fit in the cabin that way!
