Well hopefully you didn't die of boredom from my lengthy post part 1. So if you didn't get enough here is part 2. As soon as the girls got out of school we hurried and tried to fit in as much inexpensive fun as we possibly could before school started again, they are on year round so they don't get much of a summer. Well one day we decided to take them down to Provo and have lunch and see Bridal Vail Falls up Provo Canyon, It was a really hot day so it was perfect to go and let the girls cool off in the water, but it was super crowded so it was hard to find a spot and play but they still managed to have a good time, on the way home we of course had to stop at Krispie Kreme Doughnuts and get a doughnut and watch a batch get made, the girls found that pretty entertaining as did I, I had never been there to see that.
Brian decided to take Mylei and Lauryn to Lagoon, they had to go separate times because I couldn't go being prego and all. But they had the best time, and didn't want to come home, didn't get any pictures of that of course since I wasn't there but they couldn't stop talking about it for days after. Well one of the interesting things that happened during the summer was the Machine Gun fire, what happened was we live just over the other side of the mountain to a military base called Camp Williams well soldiers were out practicing their military weapon stuff ( know I'm totally technical,) and a spark from one of their machine guns set some dry grass on fire and well it got out of control really fast and lit the whole mountain on fire pretty much. At the time we were at Brians sisters house and then decided to stop at a friends house for a few min. While we were there we could see smoke just filling the sky and they don't live super close to us. So we decided to head for home, and good thing we did at the time because shortly after we got home they closed off the roads going into Herriman so no one could get in, people could get out but if you left there was no getting in. On our way home from our friends house we couldn't believe how bad the fire was. It looked even worse when we got home, so needless to say we didn't have a good night worrying about if we were going to be evacuated or not. I remember looking out my bedroom window and just watching the fire come closer and closer to the houses, the wind was so bad it would blow the fire into what looked like fire tornadoes Brian was cool as a cucumber but not me I tried to get as much packed up as possible so just in case we did get evacuated we could just pick up and go. It sure made me realize how ill prepared we are for an emergency like that. It was strange how quiet everything seemed to be the next day except hearing the helicopters dropping water on the hot spots. It took them several days if not longer to get all the hot spots taken care of. luckily one one was seriously injured or killed in it but 3 families lost their houses and everything they owned it was so sad, it sure made me grateful we were okay.
Well onto a happier note Mylei and Lauryn started school I don't have pictures of Mylei's pictures of her first day because they were on my old phone and it broke and we forgot to transfer the all my pictures before we got a new one so sad day, anyways but I do have Lauryn's since kindergartners don't start school at the same time as the other kids. Mylei started 3rd grade which I can't believe. Lauryn wanted to ride the bus with Mylei so we followed the bus to school like we did with Mylei and then took pictures of her lining up getting ready to go inside. She was kind of nervous but went in like a champ, she came home and we asked how it was and she said it was "fine" and went to play without another word about it. That's just how Lauryn is a girl of few words especially if something really didn't excite her, so we left it at that.
On September 30th our Emery turned 3, she wanted a Minnie Mouse party so I of course we decorated in Minnie Mouse and made Minnie Mouse cupcakes which I might add turned out pretty dang cute if I say so myself. We had it at a park and let the kids play, had cupcakes opened presents and that was about it but she loved it, and we sure love her she adds so much fun and excitement to our family and for sure keeps us on our toes but our home wouldn't be the same without her. Well this ends post #2 hopefully it won't be too long till I can get #3 out there and we could actually be up to date somewhat. See ya next time.
