Baby Shower for Lola

Jessica had her baby on July 22nd and weighed 5 lbs 10 oz.  She went past her due date and when she went into labor she had some complications and ended up having a C-Section.  Her name is Lola Kai Twiggs.  The week after she was born their family went up to Bear Lake.  Mary Ann arranged for us to meet at Marie Callender's on August 6th for a shower on their way from Bear Lake to Snowbird.

A Little Surgery

Surgery might be worth it if it means getting these absolutely gorgeous flowers from your husband.  Kyle bought them for me last night at Costco and brought them home for me today.  Now isn't that a sweet husband.  Should I mention he left yesterday for a family reunion and just barely came home tonight?  He had my permission and knew I was in the excellent hands of my family so it really was just fine.  I am doing well and as long as I stay on top of the pain medication and take it when I am supposed to then I feel fine.  I can definitely tell the left one was the worst of the two, especially when I go to stand up.  It pulls some muscles or something in that knee when I stand up.  But for the most part things are going fine.

Our Little Visitor

Sunday night when we let the dogs out I looked down and saw a brown dot on our hedgehog shoe scrubber by the back door.  Seems we were being visited by a very tiny frog.  We were able to keep the dogs away from it.  Dad transported it to their pond, but we haven't seen it since so we don't know exactly where it ended up, but he must be pretty adventurous to make it to our back door since we aren't anywhere near any water.  It was a fun little surprise.  

Beautiful Sunsets

We have had the most beautiful sunsets the last few weeks.  I wonder which artists in Heaven create them?  Here are a few pictures I was able to capture.

Trax & Gateway Trip

We took the kids on the Trax train to the Gateway, let the kids play in the fountain, and watched a movie at the Planetarium, had dinner at California Pizza Kitchen and celebrated Karen's birthday then rode back home.  Some of us drove down instead of riding the Trax down and only rode back on the Trax so Natalie could have her car to go do something with Greg's family. 

Wright Cousin Reunion

Last week we were able to get together with Tara, Ashleigh, and Patt in Bear Lake at Patt's cabin while the girls were here visiting.  We had a fun time together as we always do.  It doesn't matter how long we go without seeing each other we are always able to pick right back up where we left off.  Jesse and Ashleigh headed home on Friday to Greensboro just in time to move into a new house they bought while they were here so we are very excited for them. The kids had a fun time playing together.  Getting a picture of them together was lots of fun as always.
