July Rundown

It has been so long since I last posted!! So much has been happening, I will post tons of pictures later, but here is a rundown... We had a HUGE party for my mom's 60th. It was so fun, and so many friends and family came from around Utah, Arizona and Ca. We were sad that 2 of my brothers couldn't make it at the last minute, but with crazy work schedules and the cost of coming from out of state, we totally understood!!!! My sister Kristy and her family stayed with us this weekend, as well as my best bud from Ca, Heather, who I have known since 2nd grade and her family. We had a fun buffet dinner and a polynesian dance show, then dancing. I loved the venue we had it at, Noah's in So. Jordan. One of my girls will have to have a wedding reception there...she doesn't get a choice!
We have been busy swimming and enjoying the summer that finally decided to show up (since it rained all of June). There are a ton of fun activities planned for the rest of the month with all of the cousins, and we can't wait to spend as much time with them as possible.
Thanks to everyone for your concern over my weird passing out and concussion experience. I found out I have slightly high blood pressure from this whole experience, so am now on meds, but the first group was HORRIBLE and I had a every side effect. He switched me, and I feel great except that I can't fall asleep. AT ALL. So now I am so tired I feel I am going crazy. I have another appt Monday. I am ready to go off of everything and be back to feeling like myself again. That has been the only damper on this whole fun time with family!!!!

welcome to the Gun Show

Dan got to be one of the lucky priesthood leaders at girl's camp. He won the award for "big guns".
That's Hawt!

Ouch

So I have a ton of 4th of July Weekend pictures to post, we actually had a fantastic weekend. I am going to wait a few more days though before putting them up, I am almost feeling back to normal, but not quite. Early Sunday morning I passed out, and in going down I hit my head on the night stand, and stopped breathing. Dan ended up calling the paramedics. I have a concussion, and also my blood pressure is all over the place, so they put me on some medicine to try and regulate it. I am still dizzy, but feeling better. We have some great friends who have driven our children (and me!) around and the girls and I are being spoiled at grandma and grandpa's house while Dan and the two older ones are at girl's camp.
See you in a few days! I am going to go lay back down on the couch!!!!
