Happy 24th of July!

The 24th of July is Grandpa Petersen's birthday.  This year he turned 85...go grandpa!!  It's crazy that just 5 years ago we had his 80th birthday party and Jami had just died and Marilyn and Grandma were still here.  One week after that party I had a blind date with a man that would forever change my life.  A lot can happen in five years.

This year we had a Petersen family party.  We met in Tremonton and had a great time!!! Trish and Rachel even flew in to be with us...yay!!!


The BEST kind of "Trish on a stick"

 My kids don't love Grandpa and Grandma at all....nope...totally not spoiled by them one tiny bit.
 I thought it'd be easier to just have the kids share a plate.  The watermelon was a hit for them....Matt see's what he wants....
 Intercepted by big sister....
 Mommy to the rescue....two pieces of watermelon coming right up!
 Trish told Megan she could wear her cowboy boots.  Megan didn't believe her.
 Looks pretty good Trish
 Even Uncle Willis loved her boots...maybe...don't know if he noticed them
 For some reason quite some time ago I started taking different pictures of Trish with everyone in attendance at different events.  I have quite the collection of Trish pictures.  When Trish moved I started bringing a "Trish on a stick" so I could continue having pictures of everyone with Trish.  I must say, the real Trish is a lot more fun!


 Scott loves having his picture taken...save this baby for the family calendar!

 It's also Hal's birthday on the 24th of July.  Happy Birthday!!














 Trish almost killed Ellie....well...not really....but she almost dumped her out of her wheelchair....oopsie!



 It's ok Amy....it's just Aunt Trish...
 Awww....love my Aunt Trishy!!



 Strike a pose! What a great picture! Rachel thought so too, but.....
 her batteries were dead......
 Poor Rachel...
















 Who's leg is who!?!?!  I will say I do believe the light blue shoe (cough cough mom) does indeed take the cake for whiteness.
For future reference....(Rachel, Julie, Trish, Sharon, Becky, Karley)  I love my ombre tan...quite the tan line there.

What a great day!!!  It was so fun to see everyone again and catch up.  Let's not wait another 5 years....OK???  :D
