Birthday Surprise

 On Friday the 20th...Jamie calls at 9:10 all stressed out.  Dad..I took the day off and brought the kids to Bear Lake and my van is acting up and I cant get hold of Bill cuz he is working.  Can you come and help us?  So Russ threw in tow cables and screwdrivers and other tools and we headed to Bear Lake.  All the way over he said...I dont know what we can do about the car.  I dont think we can tow it.  I dont know what we can do.  I said well, lets just go see and wait til she gets hold of Bill  .  So we pull up next to Jamies van and he gets out and starts looking at it and 9 grandkids and parents come from off of the beach and yell...surprise...happy birthday...GOT YA....

 The girls pulled it off.  Heather went to Jamies on Thursday.  She came from Laramie and Kim left Payson at 7:00 in the morning and Crystal left around 9:00.  Jamie was there by 8:30 to get a spot and call her dad.  YEAHHHHHHH.. We did it.  I think he was very happy and surprised

WE LOVE YOU DADDY

 The girls were able to sit around and visit with each other and  their dad.  I think they had a good time.

Long hot day for Xander

Clayton and the Ryan Shupe band

Clayton was so excited for Fossil fest to get here. His favorite group came back to town.  This is the lead singer and Claytons favorite.  They taught him a song on his quitar so that was really cool.  way to go Clayton....You should smile though...Oh yeah,....You were smiling all day long waiting to meet them.  Love you Clay bug

Xander

 Poor Xander.  He got the weird virus again.  It is synovitis...which is a cold on the hip.  One minute he is fine and the next he was in pain. 

 Jamie and Bill took Xander to Primary Childrens Medical Center to the emergency room so they could see a specialist  to make sure exactly what he had.  They did x-rays and blood work and tested for all kinds of things and that is what they came up with.  He is going to be the one that gets the strange things.  Way to go Xander.

After being poked and prodded and stabbed and looked at they headed home and poor Xander had had enough.  Time to sleep.  He is doing better now.  Love the little guy.  When I had Trin and Quin for a visit I took them home and pulled up in their driveway and Trin and Quin were standing there with open arms and he came around to the drivers side and got me.  Gotta love that....
