The Birthday Con't

Well, I continue to struggle documenting mine and my family's lives. It's always been a weakness of mine. Pretty much every journal entry I have ever written begins with an apology that I haven't been keeping up-to-date. It seems our blog is turning into that too. No excuses. I just get bored with the idea of blogging sometimes.

Anyway, to pick up where we left off, which was two months ago already, we celebrated Brett's birthday and the 4th of July a day early with the rest of the Mormondom. However, we did save Brett's present-opening for his actual birthday. This man is difficult to buy for, but if has something to do with BYU, it's usually a pretty good bet, so the kids and I made a trip to the BYU bookstore a week earlier to get some goods.

A new BYU hat - I have never seen Brett wear any other type of hat. He gets a new one just about every year, so he's getting quite the collection these days.

The obnoxious BYU tie - I was going for something a little more muted, but Adie wanted to pick it out and this is the one she liked best. I think Brett likes it too (or, at least, pretends to).

After church, we headed up to beautiful Island Park to spend time at Brett's family's cabin. I wish there were a feasible way to live in Island Park, or a place like unto it. There just don't seem to be a lot of job opportunities for engineers within any sort of reasonable distance :( Oh well, we make the best of it by visiting whenever we can (which isn't so often anymore considering the distance).

Chilling at the cabin

Nothing says we're at a cabin like wearing 'coon skin hats.
