Summer Vacation 2010 part 1

We are home from our summer vacation!! 26 days of total awesomeness...it's hard to come back to reality! It's taken me a few days to unpack and get things somewhat organized. I took a lot of pictures and I've been so excited to download them.
We started our vacation by driving up to Orem and staying with Aaron's parents for a couple of days. I spent one day shopping with Alisha and Lexie (that was fun!) and then we spent an evening with our friends the McElwee's.


From Orem, we drove up to Idaho Falls for the 4th of July for a family reunion with my mom's sister Linda and her entire family. One thing about the Doggett family is that they know how to HAVE FUN! It was so great spending time with my cousins and having our kids play together.

My uncle Mike (he's on the far left) and his band The Affection Collection perform every year. They were AWESOME! I've got some video of this, I need to put it on here. The fireworks show in IF is the best one I've ever seen!!


On Sunday, we ate some of Linda's good BBQ, took the kids over to the park to play and we watched old home movies of us as kids.

Happy Birthday Jessie!!




The 4th wouldn't be complete without fireworks, right? To my family: I will get that video of Von to you, don't worry! ;) I'm still laughing about that...

A huge thank you to Mike and Linda and the kids! We had a blast and hope we get to see you guys at Thanksgiving!

Summer vacation part 2 coming soon...

thirty five

Today I turned 35. I remember being little and looking forward to getting older, especially turning 16 so I could drive. Now, I can't believe how fast time goes by. To celebrate my birthday, I did something I've never done before. Dad and I went to the stake center and donated blood to the Red Cross. I look forward to doing it again. I have to say going anywhere with Dad is always an adventure. He asked the sweet little Mormon lady handing out the cookies and juice if she had any vodka...we can't take him anywhere ;)
Looking forward to more fun things and I'm soaking up this awesome weather like you wouldn't believe!
