For the fourth of July I went to Bear Lake with Nate's family. It was a really fun weekend, things get a little crazy with his family since their are so many of them I am not used to all the commotion since my family is pretty little. I had a great time but was sad to have to go back to work on Tuesday while the rest of them stayed for the rest of the week. I love hanging out with Nate we have known each other for 4 years now but we are still learning about each other. For the 24th Nate and I went to the Bee's game with his family but on the 25th because he was in Lake Powell on the 24th. I don't really know much about baseball but I am sure I am gonna learn alot since he loves to go to baseball games and watch ESPN every second he gets an opportunity to. He also was on a softball team that just barely ended but he is starting up on another league I think the end of August.

It has been a traditon in my family to go up to Bear Lake for Raspberry Days since I was born. Well this past weekend sure enough it was Raspberry Days and I was so excited to go. I was sad though because Katelin wasn't here this year. This was the first time in all my life she hasn't been there it was kind of sad but I know she is doing what she wants to be doing in New York.
Guess what she comes home on the 16 th of August I am SOOOO excited I can't even explain it! Then Tori is going to have her baby so soon after that she is due August 29th but I think she will have Sadie before that. Anyways back to the story I thought it was just going to be my parents and I this year because Katelin wasn't there and Tori and Spencer weren't going to come up because Tori was afraid she was going to have Sadie by then and if not she was afraid she was going to go into Labor up there and she didn't want that. She went to the doctor the day before we left and her docotor said she that she hadn't even started to diliate so they came with us. Also Nate ended up coming he wasn't going to come up until Saturday afternoon because he had a softball tournament in the morning. We headed up on Friday afternoon and when we were driving I got a call from Nate he told me that two of the five teams had dropped out so the tournament was off and he was on his way up to Bear Lake. I was so excited because I wanted him to spend the whole weekend with my family and I. He made it just in time for the Rodeo to start this is also something we do every year. I love going to that Rodeo because it is a small town rodeo and it is the best. We had a great time and the best thing about it is that I didn't have terrbile allerigies! All my life I have dealt with allergies I just deal with them, but I decided I wanted to start allergy shot about two years ago. It was one of the best decisions of my life sure at the time it sucked I had to go three times a week, get two shots everytime, wait 30 mins after the shots, and a few trips to the instacare since I was having allergic reactions time consuming sure but it was totally worth it. In past years I have had a hard time breathing after and been weezy but I still went. Saturday the 1st was Tori's 25 th birthday so we decided we would celebrate it up there. We were all getting ready to go the the craft fair and Spencer was baking Tori's favorite cake in the oven. The next thing we know we hear a loud crash from the oven my mom just thought one of the racks had fallen but low and behold when she opened it she saw this.....the dish had completly shattered we aren't sure what happened but it was pretty funny. It couldn't be put back together the picture doesn't do it justice at all seriously. Needless to say Tori didn't get her birthday cake we ended up stopping off at some little store in Montipelier. We went to the fair and of course Tori bought more bows for Sadie seriously I think she has a bow to go with every outfit! After the fair we went jet skiing and I made the mistake of going with Nate of course he has to throw me off. When we went flying off he landed right on top of me literally. I got an instant headache and had one for the rest of the day. I still am sore I think I bruised my ribs and I have a bruise on my thigh. He didn't believe he landed on top of me until I told him I was in major pain. After we went jet skiing we decided to go into Montipelier for dinner to some diner I dad wanted to go to. Nate and I fell asleep on the way there and Tori thinks she is funny and takes pictures of us sleeping. When we got back from dinner my dad said we should play poker he seriously loves to play to poker especially when there are other boys around. Nate aways says he is going to kick my dad in poker and never does it is funny to watch him try. Also on Saturday there were fireworks to celebrate Raspberry days. We sat on the beach and watch the fireworks and then back to our poker playing. On Sunday we were packing up to leave and my mom realized my dad had her car keys and he had left about an hour before she realized. He drove my car up so he left earlier then us. Tori called him to tell him and he didn't answer my mom was like great what are we going to do now? Luckily he called back but we had to wait about 45 mins for him to bring them back. I am pretty sure he felt stupid since he had to come all the way back luckliy he wasn't too far away. It was a very eventful trip I best thing would have been if Tori would have gone into labor that would have topped the weekend off! It was a really fun vacation and I am glad that Nate got to spend it with us.
