Quick trip home to Utah

I got to go home to Utah for a few days last week and decided I was just going to hang with family. I had a fun time with everyone.


Mark, Robbie (newbie to the fam), Heather and Carson July 24th BBQ

A few days after I got the I picked Jeff up from the airport.

He has been in Florida all summer - we surprised my nephew

Carson who did not know Jeff was coming home.

Two good movies

I have seen a few really good movies the last few days.


Dark Night (Batman) was awesome! I saw it at 12:04 am the day it opened. It was the best Batman I have seen maybe the best superhero movie. I would definately suggest it to everyone.



Then I saw Mama Mia tonight. It was really good too. In a different way though. You have to like musicals (which I do) It was funny.

Bowling with the Willey crew

Last night I went bowling with work for our Summer party. We had a blast. Here are some pictures of my crew and other co workers.

Sister getting married

So many of you are asking which sister is getting married and info about it so here it is. Heather is getting married on August 16th in the Bountiful temple. Her temple divorce went through this last week which was what we were all worried about but because of everyones prayers and fasting it came through. She is marrying a guy named Robert (Robbie, Rob) Haltinner. I have not meet the guy yet. We have messaged back and forth on facebook though and he is big sports fan and hates the Lakers so I am sure we will get along just fine. She is happy and I am happy for her.

Here they are with my Nephew Kaiden

Cali is burning!

Smoky California - pic from my apt balcony.

So I always thought California was just going to fall into the ocean but after the last few weeks I think it is just going to all burn to the ground. Poor smoke filled California! We had a day or two of relief and then Tuesday it started again. You can't go any where to get fresh air because it's every where you go. It doesn't help that it is also 110 degrees outside. My guys at work have been wearing masks because we have to open the warehouse doors for deliveries and customers and the smoke fills up the warehouse. It needs to just go away so everyone can go outside and play....after all it is summer and I need to start getting my great tan for Hawaii.

Alright so I haven't wanted to weigh myself lately and post because I have not done very well but I weighed today and I lost 3 lbs since the last post. That brings my total to 7 lbs....still not good. I think I am going to have to be really strict on myself this week.....LOL

How cute is this picture....

I like fireworks

On Saturday I went to the Rocklin Jubilee (city celebration) We went mainly for the firework. Last year they were the best I had ever been to so we went again. They weren't as long but they were still good. I didn't know if they would have them since most of California is burning right now and the Governor (the terminator) asked people not to buy fireworks this year. Some cities have cancelled but not Rocklin.

It was fun and relaxing after a very hard stressful day at work.
