July Party Week
We began our 4th of July partying very early this year. Actually, we began on June 30th. We took the boys to the Scera Theater to see "Toy Story 3." We really liked it. Like most Pixar movies, it made me cry. We let the boys have lots of candy at the movie and pizza for dinner when we arrived home. Party mode...
On Thursday we dropped J off at work in Salt Lake and went to Wheeler Historic Farm.
When we got out of the van in the parking lot, O heard the rooster and so we had to find it. We stood by the chicken coop for a good 15 minutes before O would let us continue on. We saw pigs, goats, cows, horses, turkeys, ducks, Eeyores, sheep, and rabbits. It was hot, but a lot of fun. I spent $2.13 on a bag of duck feed and 4 candy sticks -- money well-spent.
When we picked J up from work, we drove up to Snowbird Ski Resort and took the tram to the top of the mountain. The boys had a great time playing in the snow in July...
...and scaring their mom by dancing around at the edge of the mountain.
On Friday we geared up for Saturday, which began at 6 AM with the Freedom Festival Balloon Fest...
It was too windy for the balloons to launch while we were there, but the Coca-Cola bottle balloon alone was worth it.
When we came home from the balloon fest, J took off up Dry Canyon for a hike to the top of Mt. Baldy in Lindon. I took the kids to their first ever Home Depot Kids Workshop where they made periscopes. I was partial to this particular project because I remember my brother making his own periscope when we were young. I loved that thing -- it was so cool.
When J came home I took off for Pleasant Grove to make shirts with my friend and sisters-in-law for the Freedom 5K. We had hot pink tank tops that said, "Hot Mamas" on the back and were embellished with rhinestones.
When we were done, I brought my niece home with me, much to the delight of S. Her sister and parents joined us later for a hamburger dinner and s'mores over a campfire. Here is O, who was brandishing his 3-pronged hot dog roaster and yelling, "By the power of Greyskull!"
H decided he didn't need the whole s'more and just kept sneaking chocolate pieces.
J put on a fireworks show for us which rivaled the Stadium of Fire, in my opinion.
On Sunday J's mom and step-dad joined us in church for the first time since moving into our ward. The kids could not contain their excitement!
When we got home, J's sister, her husband, and two girls came for dinner and to spend the night. We carbed up for the 5K the next day with a pasta dinner. Then we lit sparklers and marveled that none of the 5 kids running hell-bent around the yard with them got burned. Alisa's husband is an MA. He brought her an IV from work and gave her some fluids to get her nice and hydrated for her first 5K.
Our Monday began with the 5K. Here we are at the finish. It was lots of fun. We are going to do the 10K next year, for anyone that wants to join us.
We watched the parade, but missed the Utah Highway Patrol (my favorite part), the BYU Marching Band (my second favorite part), but were able to see the American Fork Marching Band (who doesn't love them?) and the tanks that shot off their guns at the end of the parade (of course my boys' favorite part).
In the afternoon we visited with J's Grandpa Squire, who kept our boys well-supplied with ice cream, sour cream & onion chips, and chocolate. Grandpa showed off his garden. I think his blackberries are on steroids.
On Tuesday we tried to get back to normal but failed. Tuesday evening J gave a presentation for our Relief Society Night Out on "Survival Kit in an Altoid Can." It was pretty impressive.
Again, on Wednesday we tried to get back to normal but failed. This time, we took a picnic lunch up to South Fork and played in the freezing cold water.
On Thursday I went to the podiatrist who merrily told me that I could call him if I need him and sent me on my way.
On Friday, the boys and I went fishing up Fairview Canyon with J's mom, step-dad, step-sister and her kids, step-brother #1 and his wife and kids, and step-brother #3. It was beautiful -- sunny, not too hot, not too crowded.
O waited patiently for a bite on his line...
...but it was S who caught the second biggest fish of the day!
Around the time the kids started to get hungry for the hot dogs Grandpa Lundgren brought, the clouds had rolled in and the day turned cold.
We ended up coming back to our house and having a party with all the fishermen. I learned how to gut a fish (this video is for my mom's benefit/amusement, so really, you don't have to watch it unless you're my mom or you really want to)...
...and this is what the boys thought of it.
On Saturday we had one last party with step-brother #1's family before they headed back to NM. Here are two of my sisters-in-law looking sassy with J's mom and our niece.
Chance, Leslee, and Cash. So cute.
As if our kids weren't worn out enough from our week of partying, we drove them up to REI in Salt Lake so J could get a few last things for his Rainier trip. Then we drove them home again, just in time for me to go to our Wasatch My Back team party. We made the decision to leave the boys home with J so they could watch "The Hobbit" (O's been walking around for the past week saying, "My precious. My precious.") and go to bed early.
It was great to spend time with family and party it up for the 4th of July. We are still trying to recover!
J leaves tomorrow for Washington and Mt. Rainier. We may continue our partying down in NM with Grandma and Grandpa Kim, but that is all news for other posts. I think this, the longest post known to man, is finally over!

I Admit It
I saw that vampire movie last night. An awesome friend and I went and sat in a theater with not as many fawning teenage girls as we had expected, more guys with their ladies than we expected, and the best seats in the house (who doesn't like to put their feet up on the bar?). And the movie? Six words: so much better than the first.
?
J had initially wanted to come with me, which I thought was pretty brave of him, but upon considering H's developing cough, I decided that we'd better not inflict that on a sitter and turned down J's date proposal. I think he was disappointed. He started watching some trailer of it he found while I was across the room texting my afore-mentioned awesome friend. Can I just say that it is much more embarrassing to listen to the trailer than it is to watch it? I thought he was trying to shame me out of going. Try it sometime -- just listen to the trailer without watching it. It's mortifying. But somehow I survived the shame of that acoustical experience, went to the movie, and enjoyed it well enough to stop making fun of Kristen Stewart's one facial expression, the minority couple, and the oohs and ahhs when Jacob took off his shirt that echoed around the theater. It was pretty good. I might have to see it again. I admit that I went to see Twilight twice -- the second time because I had to make sure it wasn't as awful as I thought it was the first time (it was). This one I'm going to see one more time because I liked it. How's that for a girl whose next threadless.com acquisition has to be

We Love Threadless!
In case any of you were wondering about J's shirt in the previous post, it is yet another gem from threadless.com. J's been waiting for this shirt to be reprinted. When he finally received the email telling him that it was available, he lost no time ordering "The Communist Party"
Marx looks like the life of the party, no?
Here's another of J's favorites. So profoundly true. He gets a lot of stares when he wears it. One of the first times he wore this shirt, he ran into our Bishop (a church leader) at Home Depot. It was awesome!
This is the one that draws the most stares. A stare at J, a flicker over to me. Yep, I'm the one he wants. The thing I don't understand is, he got it at Target -- why aren't more people wearing them? Easily accessible, coolest shirt ever -- come on, guys! Be an animal for your woman!

I'm a Spoiled Girl
I'm a sucker for a good graphic t-shirt. I don't need anymore t-shirts, so the ones I like, I keep to myself. I don't tell J, "Hey, I found this awesome t-shirt..." because I know that it will eventually end up in my closet. Well, I slipped a couple weeks ago, made casual mention of one I liked on threadless.com and received it in the mail on Friday. It's called "Let Go." What do you think of it?
This one came too. It's called, "I'm like a bird." I'm fond of it, especially since I've wanted a giraffe for a pet ever since our zoo visit.

Updates...
In March John's brother Adam came up from Arizona to do this:
and this:
John will sheetrock it when he recovers from this:
Subcutaneous Ulnar Transposition Surgery.
While it will hopefully improve his quality of life by taking the pain away and returning feeling to his ring and pinky fingers, it has diminished my quality of life a bit. Everything is on me now: diaper changes, putting to bed, getting out of bed, lifting anything heavier than 5 lbs, driving, dinners, laundry, picking up -- oh wait -- been doing all that anyway.
There have been a few bright points of light in all the craziness lately. Who can not be happy when threadless.com has their $5 shirts sales and you can get beauties like this:

.Plus, when the perfect bag to replace Hello Kitty arrives in the mail,
, and then the next day Mom and Dad Kim arrive from New Mexico for a visit,
who can complain?
When my parents were up we went to dinner at Red Lobster (the boys were squeamishly fascinated when they were introduced to the live lobster that they later, with horrified expressions, watched my mom dismember and eat, after it had been cooked, of course).
We made bul go gi and kimchee, hiked up Rock Canyon, lunched with Grandpa-Great at the Olive Garden, and generally had a good time. Thanks for visiting, Gomma and Gompa Bim (as H so eloquently calls them!)
