Boondock’s Birthday

To celebrate with Martin

And Divy

We went to Boondock’s and Divy invited a few friends

We picked up a cake on the way

And sang happy birthday to the now 14 year old

 

Pizza Party

Martin’s birthday party was today

Grandpa and Grandma drove down in the heat

Marilee brought Divy a birthday present too

Max & Preslee came to celebrate 

Marilee

& James did too

Settebello’s pizza is always good 

 

I know

A secret that I can’t tell 

But it’s something very exciting

And I will share it here soon

As soon as Markus posts it on Insta

But until then he told me it would happen today  

 

Hot Days

And cool nights 

Or coolish at least

Enough to walk Fritz and see the sunset

From the park

Divy turned 14 today and was with his mom but we will celebrate him this weekend 

 

SUP

We took the paddle board to Jordanelle tonight 

To cool off and swim 

Martin is teaching Fritz 

How to be a water dog

He also had all the windows cleaned 

At home today

Robin

 Divy’s birthday is on Wednesday so we took him out for his favorite burger last night after the lake. 

Fun in the Sun

At East Canyon Reservoir

Since it was 98 today

We headed up the canyon

For the first SUP board ride

Fritz does not like water

So Martin bought him a life vest

And is teaching him how to swim 

Much to Fritz’s dismay

He did calm down after the second round trip 

And swam about 50 yards to shore 

 

250

1976

2026

Marilee invited us to the Bee’s game for the 250th birthday of the USA

Martin had never been to a professional baseball game before 

Or Divy

And his friend Issac

He was a good sport in spite of his reticence

97 degrees

But our seats were in the shade 

Hot dogs

18” hot dogs

Emmett had the most fun I think at his first even baseball game with his Grandma and Grandpa

Cheering and waving his towel

Wearing red white and blue

And Stars and Stripes hat

He shared his popcorn with me and told me I had to eat them one a time because it’s better that way

My leg scars are still there 

But I didn’t have to sit in the car this year for the fireworks 

Happy 250th America 

Home of the free 

And the brave 

Hiking earlier in the day

Before it became too hot
