Yay for the Circus!

Ringling Bros & Barnum & Bailey's Greatest Show on Earth




William really liked the circus. He was enthralled the whole time. I couldn't get a picture of William watching because Eric wouldn't let me use the flash. My favorite parts were the elephants and the trapeze artists. We had great seats- second row right in the middle. I haven't been to the circus since I was like eight, and Eric hadn't been for a long time either. We loved it!

My Birthday

Yesterday was my birthday! Thanks so much to everyone who called or emailed or facebooked(?) me- sorry if I haven't gotten back to anyone. My phone is still almost dead and I have no charger. I should have asked for one for my birthday haha. I had told Eric earlier that I wanted him to make me a cake and I didn't want store bought. He bought some cake mixes and had everything all mixed and in the oven before he checked the expiration date on the eggs. They were so old! I felt so bad because he had tried to bake me a cake like I asked for and it didn't work out. Oh well, we ended up having Marie Callender's and it was GOOD! We had a little get together at our house for family to come over and eat pie.

Back on the Market!

Our house was officially put back on the market yesterday. I tried to search for it online but I couldn't find it on remax.com. I think they are waiting to post it on the website until we have the pictures taken. The lady is coming today to take those pics. I will post the link as soon as the website is updated.

The Wedding

Eric's cousin Stephanie got married today and this BEAUTIFUL inn in Millcreek Canyon. The wedding was kinda funny because the minister kept messing up what he was supposed to be saying. He asked Stephanie twice if she "takes this man." We had a really late start and everyone was worried we would get soaked. We kept feeling raindrops before the ceremony started. They had dancing afterwards and Eric was a bum and didn't dance with me until they played the chicken dance song. I at least got to dance with Sean (Ashley's husband).

Little Fishy

We took William for his first swim today! His grandparents were staying in a condo in Park City for the weekend, so we went up to see them and use the pool. William needed swim shorts and diapers and we had to search every kid's store in the outlets to find shorts small enough for him. Elise finally found some cute shorts in Gymboree. Eric had to get diapers for a 16-26 lb baby because they don't come any smaller. William didn't really like the pool too much and I think it was because it was cold. He didn't get in very deep- only to his belly. Eric and I sure had fun though!

The Flood

So today we had a flood in our basement. It started around 2:00 in the afternoon with a crazy flash-flood, and pretty soon we had these huge hailstones falling too. The hail lasted for about 20 minutes and the rain was about an hour, but it did some serious damage. On the highway that is right by our house, the drains were not working right, so there was a river flowing down the street that our backyard is up against. The water hit the curb and jumped over it, down into our backyard. The window well in our laundry room was filled up with about three feet of water, which was slowly leaking into the basement. Overall, we probably got about two inches on the floor. Plus the water was muddy and may possibly been partially sewage because it was overflowing the sewage drains. Gross.
