Drivers beware!

Andrew got his drivers license.

(Actually he is a good driver.)

Szabo day

Rick and Lisa were here from California and Jay and Meg and family from Arizona so we spent most of the day up American Fork canyon, visiting, eating and playing.  

It was nice until we got rained out so we came back to our house.

Molly & Jamie go repelling

They had a great time.

 Exhausted at the top and we still have to go down.

Today we had a 'family activity'. 

 Molly, Jamie, Andrew and I all went and gave blood.  

It was Andrew's first time.  He did great!

Memorial Day

For Memorial Day we went to Idaho to my Mom & Dads.

 All my siblings were there.

 We cleaned,

 had a family meeting,

 and enjoyed being together.

We ended the day with our first s'mores of the season at the Johnsons.

Yummy!  I love s'mores.

Molly's birthday

A milestone birthday.

You know you are growing up when you have to work on your birthday.

Molly worked all day on Friday (her birthday) then played on Saturday.

Grandma Szabo took us out to breakfast and then Molly and Jamie spent the day at Seven Peaks.  Sunday we had her birthday dinner combined with family dinner.
