Summer Calendar

HAPPY DAY!!! WE ARE IN PEACH DAYS!!
We are finally hearing back from all the events that applications were sent to beginning in January. We have been accepted to some rather big events this year and are so excited. Last week we got our notification from Orem Summerfest and Logan Summerfest that our foods were selected to be served at their events and today Brigham City Peach Days called and said that we were in again this year. The first of March we found out that we would once again be in the Davis County Fair. I am still waiting on Provo Freedom Days, Cache County Fair, Box Elder County Fair, Madison County Fair (Idaho), Emery County Fair, Weber County Fair, Iron County Fair, Payson Onion Days and Green River Melon Days to see if we have been selected.

The waiting game begins in January when I first make contact with them about becoming a vendor, filling out and mailing the applications then waiting until they make their selections on whether or not you are chosen. It is always a happy day in our home when the call comes that you will be a vendor at events. Even though you might have been a vendor last year does not guarantee that you will be the following year so you have several events you apply to and see what happens. So far we have been fortunate enough to have gained bigger events and still been accepted to past events.

Waiting for more happy days ahead.

Our Vacation Is Over

"Big Flat" Grandma and Grandpa got back from their vacation Saturday night. They had so much fun going with Canyon and Evan to the many places in San Diego. I think that Flat Grandpa and Grandma became "old and wrinkled" after Canyon shoved his Game Boy into the seat pocket where Kelly had stored them for the journey home. They wanted me to tell Kelly and Derek thanks for being such good sports about taking them with them and for sending the fantastic pictures of the places they visited.
THANKS!!!
We took Camo home yesterday afternoon and had a wonderful Easter dinner that Kelly and Derek had prepared. It is always a treat to eat at their table as Kelly is such a fantastic cook and fixes such delicious dishes. I miss the days when they were living with us and all the good meals that she prepared.
Our Easter day was perfect and the hugs and kisses that we got from Canyon and Evan were superb. They were talking so fast and telling us about their trip, but I think the best part was the "kus ku" (jacuzzi) that they got to swim in every evening after returning from a long day of having fun.
When we left Evan was asleep and Canyon was so tired he could hardly keep his eyes opened. I kissed him goodnight and he said "I will see you in six day. I will come on Friday" and he yawned and closed his little eyes.

Flat Grandma & Grandpa's Trip Day 5

Today we went to San Diego Zoo

Flat Grandpa and Canyon liked the snakes. Yuck! said Flat Grandma
Canyon and Evan called this Bornean Bearded pig "Grandpa Pig" because it has a beard.
These two meerkats are all cozy and settled down to nap. Flat Grammy and Grampy are ready for a nap also.
The colors on this bird took the breath away from Flat Grammy. Oh how she loves colorful birds and....
beautiful flowers. She is a bird and flower girl...
of all colors.
I think our vacation is almost over. We have to get back to Utah so Canyon and Evan can go back to school. This has been such a great vacation with our little munchkins. Oh how Not Flat Grammy and Grampy are missing their little ones, but Camo is giving them lots of kisses and hugs.

Flat Grandma & Grandpa's Trip Day 4

Today we went to Lego Land and had soooo much fun. Evan liked the Lego Girl ( I think this was Wendy from Bob the Builder) with the flowers. Her and Grammy loves FLOWERS!!

This is one tall dude made of legos. See how short he makes Canyon and Evan look. This was a super good day.

We got to see the STRAWBERRY fields and Evan wanted to stop and eat all the strawberries, but we couldn't eat them until they were washed.
We are having lots of fun on our vacation with Canyon and Evan.

Flat Grandma & Grandpa's Trip Day 3



We went to Sea World and had so much fun watching all the many fish swim. I think Evan had fun watching the fish and pretending that she was Princess Ariel. Canyon was pretending that he was one of the helpers feeding the fish.










Here are pictures of our adventures today. This is sure a fun vacation.

Flat Grandma & Grandpa's Trip Day 2




It takes a very long time to get to San Diego. We had to sleep in the car cause there was not enough space for us in the room, "only enough room for Mommy, Evie, Daddy and Canyon". We had a fun time on our trip to Las Vegas and stopped at Nellis AFB to play at the playground before we hit the road for San Diego.

SAN DIEGO HERE WE COME!!!

Flat Grandma & Grandpa Goes To San Diego










We are going on a vacation with Canyon and Evan to San Diego.
We had to stop and get snacks to munch on and some ice to keep all the drinks cold. It is going to be so much fun and there will be many things to see along the way. Let's hurry and start our vacation. Camo could not go with us so he had to stay in Brigham City to take care of NOT FLAT Grandma and Grandpa.

We are ready to go now and this is Flat Grandma and Evan waving to everyone.
We traveled for a very long time, but had a nap along the way as it takes two days to get to San Diego. We stopped in Beaver, Utah and got some squeaky cheese, as that is Flat Grandma and Grandpa's favorite thing to eat. See how happy they are. Yummy!!!! SQUEAKY CHEESE!!!
We are traveling again and will let you know more of what we are doing so keep checking Grandma's blog to see what adventures we are having.
