Sherry's Scoop

Last weekend, we went camping. Well, camping is a relative term for me. I went up Saturday evening, spent the night in the back of my sister's car on an air mattress and came home Sunday afternoon. It was a ton of fun. I would have stayed longer had I not had an assignment due the next day that I hadn't even started. My three sisters, that are married, each have a two year old. There is only a seven month span between the time Eli was born, then six months later came Ava and then seven weeks after that Ben rounded out the three. I would like to take this moment to mention --- I got in a car and drove to Canada a few years ago with these three pregnant women. Anywho, these three little ones crack me up. Trying to get a picture with them is impossible. Just getting them to look at you at the same time is a feat. The looks on their faces.....they thought I was crazy. I just love these little people. Being an Auntie has to be one of the greatest things ever.

My sister Shannon has a pool and we all invaded her yesterday. All 22 of us. There are fourteen kids alone. It's tons of fun and the kids just play and play. Gotta love the action shots Fun day! Thanks to Shannon and David for always allowing us to gather at their house and for making my favorite, fantastic potato salad.

I really wanted to post sooner but, I had a small problem - I couldn't find anything I needed to actually get the photo's off my camera. This is one of the front room I took the day I picked up my keys. Once I got moved in, there was so much stuff everywhere, it was too scary to take pictures. I'm getting there though, slowly but surely. I'm not home much between work, school and taking the train to Salt Lake. There will be more to come though, I promise. I'm going to get some pictures put up more boxes put away. I can't stand the mess. That's the thing about moving -- once all the boxes are in the space, you actually have to open them and put the stuff away. :)

Happy 4th of July! I went to the Stadium of Fire in Provo on Friday. The best part was the big flag, singing the National Anthem and having a fly by from the fighter jets from Hill. It always gives me chills and makes me all teary. ok.....look really, really close. Can you see the black specs in the sky? What could they be, you ask? That's right.....people. People jumping out of airplanes to land in the stadium in out of control wind. One word -anxiety. It stressed me out so bad that they were going to smash into the lights or something but....... They made it and brought all of the flags in with them. I didn't really care for the tweeny-bopper performer who shall remain nameless and am glad I have never paid money in Vegas to see the Blue Man Group. There were awesome fireworks, my sister was my great plus one and we went for free. Fun was had and I was even in bed before 1 am. Hope you all had a great 4th as well.
