Arizona

A couple of weeks ago Daniel and I went to visit my sister Amber and her husband Stephen in Lake Havasu City, AZ (home of the London Bridge!). The ocassion was a baby shower for Amber (baby Spencer is due in August). Jared & Khristen and Corrin & Adam came down as well and we had a great weekend - highlighted of course by a Tetris Tournament.

On Saturday morning while the boys played more video games, the girls pampered themselves with a fabulous pedicure.

When it was time for the shower, the boys loaded up their gear and went golfing in Kingman and had a fabulous time. The other guys all mentioned what a great job Daniel did.

A lot of women turned out for Amber's shower and everyone had a lovely time. She got lots of great

things for baby Spencer.

We can't wait to meet him! And

we can't wait to come back to Havasu.

See you at Thanksgiving!

Fourth of July Fun

As part of the Freedom Festival in Provo every year, there is a Balloon Fest. Each morning at 6 a.m. for three days you can go watch the balloons inflate and take off. And if you're lucky and the winds are cooperating you can even watch the balloons land. I've lived here for almost 10 years and have never gone so we decided it was a must.

It was really cool to see the doezens of balloons being blown up. You could walk right up next them and watch it all happen.

It was even more fun to see them all in the air dotting the sky.

Here is something I put together of the video clips I took.



We also had a Burr Family Reunion in conjunction with the 4th. Lots of family was able to come in from out-of-town and we had lots of fun playing in the pool and eating. We had a yummy family BBQ at the Grandma House.

And of course, no Burr family gathering would be complete withhout explosives!

It was lots of fun and so nice to see so much family gathered together. Until next time!

Typical

A friend recently asked me to send a picture of me and my "hubby." We haven't taken any photos of us lately, but there was this one my sister took a couple weeks ago. At first I hesitated because, well, as you can see it isn't the most flattering photo; but it's typical. Daniel hardly ever stays serious for photo ops.
I knew he was going to do something silly, so I decided to join in.
