Fireworks 2008 - Mom and the girls


Well I can't believe its over already! All the hype and work we all put into fireworks and its over. We had some very nice warm days and this year more than ever before, the weather was on our side, both in regards to storms and a cool breeze now and again. Jordan enjoyed the first year of being able to be in the booth selling fireworks. I think she did a great job her first year. She know now how to count change back properly. Jayme was in charge of the jump toy outside and needless to say, did all the running back and forth to Johns market to buy the treats everyone had to have once in awhile. She and Jordan were big helpers this year. And as usual, Jenna queen of set up, did a fantastic job of set up. Everything was perfect. Jenna has done our set up for quite a few years now and its always great to have her help in that way. She takes command like shes in her own world. I think Jenna would do good at event planning because she is so good at organizing, she is good at it.
WE didn't have Jessica and Jason this year, of course having a baby does take priority over being away from the booth and even serving the Lord is a good reason to be absent. Jason will really come in handy next year with his Spanish speaking abilities. We should be able to clean house next year. I think mom and Dad will be in charge of watching our grandson while the kids can finally take over the booth and run with it.
I can envision it now...Tammi and I with little Bry in the back seat going to Dairy Queen, spoiling our first grandson with an ice cream treat. How fun!
We've kind of had this fireworks on our calendar for quite some time.....getting it over means we are so close to Jessica having that baby and Jason coming home. Its an exciting time to be alive.
Now if I can keep the lawn mowed and watered I'll be doing find. We are all on edge now waiting for the big news. Wondering what day Jessica will deliver.....to make matters more interesting Maggie is expecting as well sometime between Jessica and Jason. Jenna will be leaving soon to go to Logan to start at school at Utah State and we'll have to move her down there. Girls have a trip for school clothes ( fireworks money) its already killing them. And of course we have to pick up Christopher Gregoire at the airport on the 12th of Aug and take him to the MTC on the 13th. We are excited to spend his last night with him before leaving on his mission. We are going to have a blast with him. So many things to look forward to and so much to be grateful for. I can say....I feel very blessed to be a part of it all.
Hope you all have a great July! Can you believe the year is more than half over already?
