4th of July Weekend

We had a nice quiet 4th of July.  We spent the day at home, working on the house and watching Star Wars.  We lit off a few fireworks in front of the house, but went to bed pretty early.

The 5th of July was a whirl wind of a day.  We left the house in our truck, pulling our tractor, in our church clothes, with our guns. You know your in for an exciting day, when it starts like that!

Our first stop was a baptism, followed by a family luncheon.  Next we stopped in at Shane's parent's house to change and drop off the tractor.

Then is was up to the Gundersen property for skeet shooting.

 The Gundersen men step up to the line.

 Perrin is a good shot. 

Connor is a GREAT shot.

Shane throws for his Dad.

I did a little shooting with my beloved 20 gauge.  When it got too hot, I retreated to the shade to listen to Grandpa Gundersen make fun of his son, grandson and great grandsons. 

After shooting, we made a quick stop at Taco Time for dinner (it's embarrassing how often that place feeds us) and we made it home just in time for smores and fireworks with the neighbors.

My Happy Valentine

Anyone who knows Shane, knows he can't do anything in a small way.  He's a "Go Big or Go Home" kinda guy.  So when he was asked to put together an Elder's Quorum Valentine's Day dinner, I knew we where in for something special.

He spent an entire month planing and putting it all together.  From the center pieces he designed and built, to the prime rib dinner and entertainment it was a night to remember.

Our boys worked hard to help us set up.  They also served dessert and helped clean up.

It was probably the funnest Valentine's Day I have ever had.
