My hot hubby with braces...

I wanted to try and do something different for Garrett's birthday this year. We always just have the family over, eat pizza, have ice cream cake and that's great and all, but I wanted to do something out of routine. I'd been working on a golf quilt for Garr for quite some time so that was the inspiration behind the whole party. GOLF THEME
The night before his party I had my friend Karalee come over to help me make golf ball cake pops. They were darling if I say so myself.
For his birthday we had golf "club" sandwhiches, potato salad, watermelon, green salad and the only thing Garrett will drink now he doesn't drink pop - Hi-C orange from McDonald's. We went and bought the drink and had it in a big jug. I bought bubbles for the kids to play with since our house gets crowded with everyone I thought it would be fun for them to play outside.
We had such a fun time. We had our family over, some of our friends stopped by, and the cake pops were a hit! So glad Garrett's party went well. I can't believe how fast time is flying.
Happy 28 babe!

Summer Fun

The month of July we were probably gone just as much as we were home.

We started the beginning of the month with a Trip to Lake Powell with our friends Darin and Courtney and her family the Glendennings. We celebrated the 4th with some sparkler fun. I sold my car! Since I was 16 the honda civic was my "dream car," I sold it to my little sister and we have yet to buy a new one. We also went to some baseball games to watch Garr's brother Jake.
We took a VERY last minute trip to Cali for the weekend. We went to dinner Friday night and at around 8:30 p.m. decided to head down. Not a good idea to do this when you don't have a hotel to stay in. We drove around until about 5 a.m. looking for a place to sleep. After a day at the beach, we were ready to find a new hotel, thank goodness for hotwire!












Settle Family Reunion. We went up to Springville for my moms side of the family reunion. I honestly can't remember the last time we were ALL together, which is sad. The day we drove up we went to CPK and had lunch with one of my mom's best friends Patti.
The next morning we went to Jolly's Ranch and spent the day playing horse shoes, washers, and volleyball. Ate some yummy food and took a group picture. Wow how our family has grown over the year.



KFR - aka Kendall Family Reunion!!! This was our SEVENTH year together going to Lake Powell for our annual trip. We woke up at the crack of dawn every morning for the best water. Rick brought the wave runners this time too and we had a blast on those! We found some old orange life jackets and wore them to Antelope. You should have seen the looks we got! It was so funny! Until next year - Long live KFR!!! ;)
