Huge Rainstorm

We had this huge rainstorm roll through town and this is what part of the road looked like as I was driving to work. Hope we don't flood.

Riley-ism the text version

I got this message the other night at work...

Riley-ism

Tonight over dinner I wanted to tell Reed something about Riley but I didn't want Riley to understand me so I spoke in pig Latin. Riley, who has had a fascination with other languages lately said: Mom! What language was that? Like Japanese or Chinese or what?
Me: well... It's a form of Latin.
Reed: (snorts)
Riley: (in all seriousness) Mom. The devil speaks Latin.
Me: what the huh?

Later... He was relaying a story about if the three bears broke into our house and they weren't nice like in the story he would use his superior Kung-Fu skills to get them out of our house.
Riley: but I wouldn't want to kill them because then I'd go to jubi.
Me: where?
Riley: jubi.
Me: (thinking I'm hearing a b instead of a v) where?
Riley: Jubi. It's a prison for kids.
Me: how's it spelled?
Riley: j-u-a-b
Me: (trying to keep in the laughter) well... Juab is sort of LIKE a prison.
Riley: there might be an E at the end.

Where does he come up with this stuff?

4th of July 2011

Here is a pictorial run down of our 4th of July activities. First we got up early and went up to the Hot Air Balloon show in Provo. This is always fun and the boys get such a kick out of it. While we were there we met up with some storm troopers and even Darth Vader.

A stop at IHOP filled everyone's tummies up after the balloon fest. After everyone was full and happy once again we headed up to Home Depot to do the building project that they sponsor on the first Saturday of each month. This month they got to build a coaster set. I'm not sure they know what they are but they still had fun building them.

After Home Depot we went up to the Colonial Village in Provo. Tucked between a couple of businesses on Center street in Provo is a big parking lot in back and they have a colonial village set up in there with all sorts of demonstrations and cool things to do and buy. The boys had a great time watching a guy make lead balls for ammunition and fighting with there new swords that of course Grandpa couldn't resist buying for them. Luckily no one got and eye put out.

After the village we went down by the court house to the carnival and the activities down there. They had bounce houses face painting and art projects set up for the kids. It was great. And of course the good old City of Fun traveling carnival was there as well.

When we got home we went swimming over to the Payson Pool then came home had Pizza the shot off fire works. We put the tent up in the back yard and had a sleep out with Grandpa and the three boys. Boy I am not as young as I use to be but it was still fun.

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY EVERYONE!!!!!!
