We have been blessed...

Some people may call it luck, but I would say we have been blessed. So at work this week, we had a United Way meeting. At the end of the meeting they put everyones name in a drawing. Well I won a box of girlscout cookies. They were the Do-si-dos (peanut putter) cookies. I don't much care for peanut butter, so I let my department have half of them and took the other half home for Shawn. He LOVED them! If I would have known he liked them so much, I would have saved the whole box for him. =)

Anyway, on Friday last week, they had another drawing for anyone that donates some money to United may. For every dollar that you donate, you get a ticket that you write your name on and put it in a jar. That drawing was for 50% of all the cash that is collected. So I decided to donate $10.00. They took donations between 11:00am and 1:30pm. Well out of everyone who donated that day, my name was picked for the 50% of all the cash that was collected. So I ended up winning a total of $193.00. I was in total shock! I couln't believe it! My first thought was, we can go grocery shopping! But, then again, Shawn's breaks sound and feel like they are going out. So we might just have to use the money on his brakes. So I feel very blessed, to have won the money, because we could really really use it.

Family Reunion

On our last night at the reunion we went to this cool place called Goblin Valley. It was the neatest place. We got there around 8:00pm and it closed at 10:00pm. We played a game called flashlight tag. So all of us hid all over goblin valley and a couple people were supposed to go find us. If we got found we had to go to prison, which was in the middle of the place where there weren't any rocks. In order to get us out of prison, someone in hiding had to flash us with their flashlights. But there were people guarding the prison so it was hard to get away.
Mark had a quad accident. He split open his cheek and the hospital super glued it shut.
Here are some random pictures I just took of everyone. You can see the hotel that we stayed at in the back ground. Khyl brought Timber with him. It was so fun having her there with us. She is one energetic dog!
Ok so she doesn't look so energetic here, but really she is!


We had a very friendly baby deer come around our Hotel we were staying at. He always came around during meal time. In one of these videos Candice is petting the deer and in the other Timber is wanting to play with the deer.
