Happy Birthday Mom.......

July 8th is my moms birthday. Us girls thought it would be fun to take her up to Good Things Utah and then out to lunch. Well it all sounded great!.......but my mom was called to jury duty, of all days!!! So we all decided we would go up to the show and then meet her for lunch afterward. That is if she didn't have to stay for the trial, which she didn't! The ladies of the show couldn't believe that my mom was call to jury duty. At the end of the show when they announce any birthdays, they put the camera on Sami and Allyse while they talked about my mom going to jury duty.....it was pretty funny!!!

Sami Jo, Allyse, Sadie, Jen, Aimee, me, Mandy, & Tanalyn

The Girls with Mike the announcer....are new friend!!

Latter that night we went to Cafe Rio for dinner with the whole family and then to Mandy's house for some presents and cake!!!


I know your birthday was a little crazy this year mom, but I hope you did enjoy what you could of it!!!

Take Me Out To The Ball Game.....

Last Monday the Parker's asked if we wanted to go to the Bees game. Well Ashlynn had a little melt down earlier that morning because she wanted to go with Greg down to Vegas for a very quick trip, I mean down and right back.....doesn't that sound like so much fun!!! Anyway Greg couldn't say no to her with her big tears rolling down her face so they had already left when Tanalyn called to ask about the game. So me and Mitch tagged along:) We had a lot of fun....thanks Matt, Tanalyn, and boys!!!

Land of the Free!!!!

Happy 4th of July!! Well it's yet another tradition with the Chipman family..... I know, I know another one!! We "camp out" up at my parents home on July 3rd. So the whole family brings their sleeping bags, pillows, blankets, treats, and of course the air mattress!!!
We all had a blast!!! Greg brought some fireworks so we had a good little pre show!! I got to watch from the front window, thanks to Mitch who doesn't care much for the fireworks:) Even Pat and Larry came down to enjoy them and a Pepsi!!! When it was time to settle down, we all went in the backyard to watch a movie. Normally we bring out my parents tv from their room and hook it all up so we can watch the movie, but this year Shawn brought a projector. We hung up a white sheet on the house and it worked perfectly.
Greg loves his fireworks, so for the 4th he put on a great show just outside on the street. Thanks to Greg and are neighbor Matt, we had an awesome show!!! We could even see Pleasant Grove's fireworks from are house!!! Ashlynn had some friends over and they all had so much fun!!! Mitch did allow us to watch them outside, he just didn't let me put him down the whole time, and after every firework was done he would say "done fireworks, fireworks all gone."
