Perry Family Reunion...

We had a Perry Family Reunion and Man it was a great one! Our cousins the Hales are super talented people. They made a website where they did spotlights on each sibling and made t-shirts, cookbooks, lunch, tennis tournament, pie eating contest, cookie taster table, raffle, games.

It was some serious stuff. Whoever has to follow is in troub. Just teasing.

I only got pictures of the pie eating contest. But it was so much fun and I just wanted to say

Thanks Hale Family you guys did Awesome!!!

Oh I forgot to mention Kev and I took the tennis tournament. What. what!!! Okay we may have cheated. jk

And Cole wanted nothing to do with eating pie with just your face. He heard the rules and was OUT!

Relay Marathon...

I did a relay marathon with a few ladies and man do I love to run. Don't I wish my knees loved it too. No my knees were great thanks to the sports med Doctor.

So South Jordan does a relay where you have five runners and you each run 5.2 miles.

Our team consisted of two ladies in my ward and myself and my dear sister in law and a lady in her ward.

We did great if I may say so. It was fun getting to know these ladies and a great Saturday morning run.

Dailey's First Steps...

This girl went from rolling over to bum scooting to walking. Ha. ha. Okay she still isn't walking. But she has taken her first steps. She Furniture walks pretty well.

She did her very first while we were at Brighton.

I never really tried to help her to walk. Well Kevin saw our cute little niece who is always on the go who is 12 days older walking and she is great at it! So Kevin helped Dailey walk her first few steps!!

Way to Go Day Day.

Looks like I still can not figure out how to post a video. Darn.

Go Mighty Cougars...

Well It is that time of year...

Cougar Football

We went to the first Cougar Game of the season.

We left from Brighton and went and met Kev's Mom and Dad and Brother and had a little tailgate party. Too bad I did not bring out my camera once. Dang it.

They saved us a parking spot and we pulled right up and had some yummy hamburgers and threw the football around and than it was time to head in for the Game.

I love the excitement in the stadium on the season opener. It was a fun game and both Cole and Dailey did so great. We like our seats and think it is going to be a great season. Oh wait I am writing this after last weeks loss. Man did we look bad.

But we will pull it together.

The next day Kevin took Cole to the bathroom and he said "Dad Guess what I want to do when I grow up?" and Kev said what? " Be a Football Player" Kev said " oh Great. K well you will have to play a lot of "tackle" with me. and than Kevin asked "who do you wanna play for?" Cole says, "Dad you know ... BYU!"

Than all week with everything I served for lunch and dinner he asked: "Do Football Players Eat this?"

We love our Cole.

Brighton...

We went up to Brighton over Labor Day this year. We were able to up on Friday night and come home Monday evening. It was so fun to go up and enjoy some yummy Potato Cheese Soup and enjoy the crisp mountain air. When I say crisp I should be saying cold. It takes a little while for my body temp to adjust to colder weather. Thank Goodness for the Soup.

Saturday we went and hiked up to Lake Mary and man was that a hike. I am sure it isn't really but I was holding Dailey the entire way up. "Man I am gonna kill my trainer he says I am in great shape" movie quote. Kev carried Dailey on the way down. I am a little more unstable on the way down. Cole was a trooper and enjoyed it almost the whole way.

Anyhow we had a lot of fun just relaxing and hanging with family. We hot tubbed, did a few skits out on the deck, played the killer game and ate yummy food.

We watched a weapons demonstration which the kids loved and thanks to Nathan we now have a pile of weapons in our front room that can not move which is loving called the "kill stuff". Cole has a "Kill Bag"which when you ask what it is he says it is my "church bag/ kill bag" they go hand in hand.

We also had a fun little afternoon lunch behind the church where we played candybar craps too.

Than there was the game Grandma and Grandpa had us searching for items around Silver Lake.

When you spotted the item you had to run up to them and tell them and you got a treat.

Thanks Mom and Dad for letting us go up you are so great.

I didn't say Goodbye...

Goodbye Summer You will be missed!!!
I absolutely love summer and get a little sad when it is over. However I do love Fall and I like Winter but oh how I love Summer. So Goodbye Summer.

Goodbye...

30th Birthday Food Fight

Kevin had planned a food fight with my family for my birthday! Many people prepared for this! My sisters and Mom made individual bags with the #30 on the outside and they had goggles and hair nets and a cute water bottle inside. The water bottles had a tag that said: Here's some water to quench your thirst before the "fight"!

There was 30 different kinds of food to throw with little flags in each item. Everyone wore t-shirts and shorts.

All the families made and brought different items to throw. Some of the food we had was:

Costco Sheet cake

mashed potatoes

Rice

Cream Corn

Pork and Beans

Choc. Pudding

Vanilla Pudding

Whipping Cream

Sprinkles

Chocolate Sauce

Strawberry Sauce

Spagetti Sauce

Spagetti

Eggs

So first they made this game where they would ask a question about me and if a family member got it wrong I got to throw whipping cream in their face and if they got it right they threw it in mine. Man was it such a riot. This was such a fun thing that I have always wanted to do. The kids thought it was way awesome. Except Coleman! He does not like to eat his pancakes with syrup because he hates to be sticky. He cried through most of it and wanted a wet towel to get wiped off with! My parents were even in the fight which my Mom hates to be sticky as well. Maybe that's where Cole gets it from.

We will definitely have to do this again for the soul purpose of having Kevin in on it. He held Dailey the whole time and did the video. We did get him later after the camera stopped rolling. Just so he would not be the only one clean.

This was so awesome! Thank you everyone for ALL that you brought and DID for the party. Thanks Kevin you made it such a fun 30th Birthday! And I am Loving 30 Baby!

So Sad. I can not figure out why it won't let me upload my video that we made of the food fight.

When I figure it out I will post it!
