Fire

There was a fire here in town today. I saw the smoke from our house this morning before 10. As I was driving up to my Grandma's house, I saw the smoke better and closer. The house that was on fire was around the corner from my Grandma's house. Here are a few pictures that I took of the house. The second to last photo was taken from my Grandma's kitchen window.





















Dinner and a Show

On Saturday, the Rindlisbachers and us went to Chilis for dinner and then headed over to the Greenshow after. The Greenshow is part of the Shakespearean festival here in Cedar. It is a free skit-type program. It was nice to get out of the house and enjoy the Summer Cedar feeling. Above was a two man comedy act.
The same guys as above did a juggling act. They each juggled 3 balls and then took them from each other with out letting them fall on the ground. It was pretty cool to watch.
There were people dressed up like this that were selling tarts and other treats. Job and I got two: raspberry and blackberry (I think).
Here we are with our bestest friends after the show : Kurt, Kristie, and Reagan.
We walked to and from the Greenshow and on our way home Reagan was taking Job's hat on and off and putting it on her head. This was such a cute picture of the two of them.


Softball







Job has been on the SUU softball team for over a month and this last week was the finals. Even though the team didn't win, they did well. Job mostly played first base, but played a little left field at the end.

Birthday Cake

One of my favorite hobbies is baking, namely cakes. One of Job's co-workers needed a birthday cake for a friend and so they asked me to make her one. I thought I had four hours to make it, but I ended up having a day. Here is the outcome.

On Saturday the 14th, Job and I were in California and we took Aubrey and Heather to John's Incredible Pizza. We met Jared, Ashley, and the kids there. It is kind of like a Chuck E Cheese; "all you can eat food and fun".
Here is Aubrey and I snapping a picture during our good pizza. Down below is Heather enjoying her pizza and fries. They had all sorts of food to choose from with some unique pizzas like peanut butter pizza, macaroni and cheese pizza and nacho pizza. I tried the nacho pizza and it was pretty good. You know the creamy cheese that is on nachos? That's what it kind of tasted like. It even had jalapenos on it. The peanut butter pizza was not my favorite. They put peanut butter in the sauce and then it had pepperoni and sausage on it. Definately not my first choice. I never tried the macaroni and cheese pizza, but Jordyn did, sort of. Ashley gave her a piece, but she ate all the macaroni off of it and left the crust.

Above and the next two pictures are of Jordyn, Heather and Aubrey riding the little three person Merry Go Round.

This next one is of the small roller coaster that Job and I took the girls on. Heather was tall enough to go on by herself, but Jordyn and Aubrey were not so Job went with Jordyn and I went with Aubrey. I am not a big roller coaster fan and this one was rough. Even though it did not go very far, it jerked you every time you rounded the small corners. Job, the smaller girls and I got off early because one: Jordyn got scared and two: Job and I were not fans.


The next two pictures are from the Frog Hopper. Heather and Jordyn rode it together while the rest of us watched. It was the only one Jordyn liked. It took you up to the top and down a little and a time until you reached the bottom. Above is Job and Aubrey watching Heather and Jordyn enjoying their ride.



Jordyn was so scared of the next ride within 30 seconds, the Twister, that all she wanted was her daddy (above). Riding the Twister was not going to happen for me, so I just watched and took a few pictures of Job and Heather. I would compare it to the Teacups at Disneyland. You could make it spin faster and faster and it spun you in the air. It was fun to watch.

After the rides, we played the little games so the girls could get tickets to get a prize in the end. The girls enjoyed this next one. You throw the balls and try to get them into the different holes. Jordyn couldn't throw them very far, so she . . . . . . .

. . . . walked up the path and placed them in the holes herself. It was really cute.
On our way out the door, Jared bought little balloons for them with John's Incredible Pizza written on them. They picked their own color out. Here is (from left to right) Heather, Aubrey, Jordyn, and Scott.

Job and I went on our first camping trip together (with Lucy and the Rindlisbachers) Friday, June 6. It was also Lucy's first trip in the back of the truck by herself. I was a little nervous that she might jump out and hang herself on the 15 minute drive. To secure my nervousness, Job tied her in. She did pretty good.
Job made himself the ultimate smore by melting the chocolate too. You have to have smores when you go camping. Thanks to the Rindlisbachers, it happened.
Here is the group right before we went back home. It was not only Job's and my first camping trip together, but Reagan's first. She must of had fun, because she was dirty from head to toe.
Here are our tents. Brown: Rindlisbachers'; blue: Jones'. Job was in charge of putting up the tent and I was in charge of making to fire so we could eat our tin foil dinners. It took me while, but I eventually got it.
Here is Job and Kristie toasting marshmallows and enjoying the campfire life.
Since we started the fire, Reagan was told again and again not to get close to it because it was hot. With parental guidance, she was allowed to hold a stick that was used for toasting.
Job's ultimate smore. As shown below, he used a spatula to hold a graham cracker with a piece of chocolate on it until it was starting to melt. In the mean time, Kurt would toast the mallow and then they would finish the smore with the other piece of graham. That would give them a gooey chocolatey sense of wonderful.

Here is our fire. We had brought a piece of wood that we ended up placing on top of the fire. It took a while to burn through, but when it did, I had to snap a picture of it.

For the last year and half I have been learning about the Angels team, but have never been to a game. I am getting pretty good with the names and am slowly putting names to faces. Here is Job and I enjoying the beginning of the game. His dad gave us and the Rindlisbachers third base seats. For my first real Angels game, it was wonderful!! Job was so excited to go because it was his first season game since we were married.
Here's the Rindlisbachers: Kurt, Kristie, and Reagan.
Reagan is ready to catch a foul ball. She wore Job's mitt for a while.
Job is eating his $10 pizza. Too much? Maybe, but not for a baseball game, especially since EVERYTHING is over priced.
The gang. We had so much fun. The game went for about 3 and 1/2 hours, but do not worry because we won finally in the bottom of the 11th inning by a walk. The score: 1-0. Long, but definately worth it.
I don't remember who this is, but I do know that he must be good because he is on the Angels.
Maicer Izturis
Just like in any game, the pitcher and the catcher meet together during the game to figure out how to "kick some butt".
Here is Torii Hunter on third base. He is new to the team and has been great.
