We've had a really busy, but fun week! It started out last Sunday with the fireworks at WSU. We decided to hike up Beus canyon (just above WSU) to watch them with our friends Nate and Karly and their cute little dog Fern. It's a good thing Jake gets to play with Fern every now and again...It does make him more puppy hungry, but at least it puts his withdrawals at ease for a few minutes. It was way cool to see the fireworks from up above like that! It was definitely different from watching them above you. We even saw one go off in the parking lot! Luckily we remembered our flashlights for the hike back down in the dark!
Monday, Jake and I both got off work a little bit early so we called Tammie, Jeff and Carter to see if we could meet them to go swimming at Tammie's parents pool in West Valley. We were stoked! We ate all of her mom's yummy taco salad and had a blast playing in the water! We love playing with Carter and hope that someday when we can have our own, he or she will be just as cute and smart as Carter is! Jake and Jeff got pretty into their basketball game, but my favorite part was the slide!
On Wednesday it was Jake's boss's birthday. Happy Birthday Matt!!! They were kind enough to invite us over for dinner and yummy cherry pie. Thursday was the crit here in Ogden that Jake and the other guys from the Bike Shoppe raced in. They do a lap that is just over a mile long over and over again for half an hour. They have 2 "premium laps" that whoever comes across the line first wins an extra prize. Well, I have to brag on my bebe because he not only won a premium lap, but he also won the entire thing! (He would never let me post this on here if he was here right now!) He worked his fanny off and I was so proud of him! I definitely look up to Jake for his determination...not many people can beat him in that area! The only bad thing about the night is that I forgot my camera!!! GRRR!
Friday night we had a ward social. It was fun to get to mingle with the people from the ward and meet some new people. We had the potluck at the Ogden Nature Park, which I didn't even know existed! They have a splash pad with lots of fun colorful little fountains and things and they did a water balloon toss. We really enjoy the ward we are in and are still working on getting to more people because the ward is sooooo big!
Well, these are the highlights of the week, the rest just involved many hours of working! We are really going to miss summer when school starts!
