We had a fun filled weekend with BBQ's, family, friends and fireworks.My brother has a great backyard for parties to be held in.
A shade tree and PLENTY of space for kids to run and play and still not bother the adults.
What I love about my family is that they are wild and crazy and you NEVER know what is going to be said or done. My cousin Dawn just turned 30 and she is special like Trevor and Ellery
but she can do more and is higher functioning then they are. You can always count on Dawn for at least one if not more belly laughs. When we get together we always tease each other. Poor Dawn always seems to be the butt of the jokes but the good thing is, she likes the attention and doesn't realize half the time that we are joking with/about her. We were talking about my cousin John (her brother) and out of the blue Dawn announced that John was having sex with 3 girls. My aunt piped up and said "no Dawn, he is dating 3 girls". Dawn swears that at dinner the other night her mom said John was having sex with the 3 girls.

My aunt Gayle and uncle Kent are also a pair to watch when they get together. Both love drama (drama meaning acting not causing drama) and excel in that field. Anyway, At our BBQ Kent and Gayle got the kids wiggle walker and raced down the middle of the street. If I can attach the video clip I will.
Tonight we are having a family screening of a documentary on Al Jenks who broke many land speed records and built the Mormon Meteor race car. My moms step-brother Roger was able to obtain a copy of it since he helped restore the car. Roger also went to Jay Leno's garage with the car and helped show Jay how it worked. Tomorrow we are taking Thomas on the train (trax) to Ogden to see the trains up there. Later this week we are going to the zoo with my brother and his family. It is going to be a fun week.
