welcome to the USA!

September 16, 2008

Alson and Myla Bungay are here to visit! It’s their very first trip to the
United States of America… can you imagine!?!

Dusty has known the Bungay’s for about 16 years, and this is their first time to be visiting our family on our turf! our home! We are beyond excited!

I prepared the guest room. Stocked it full of new Bath & Body Works supplies, a bowl full of Hershey’s nuggets, a large Symphony candy bar, clean sheets, clean towels, the TV is ready… {{{Put our service to the test}}}

We picked them up at the airport early this afternoon and our first stop was the Gateway in downtown Salt Lake City.

biking to school

September 10, 2008

It is Jenn’s turn for carpool this week, for driving the kids to school…

Her idea of “going green,” was to have them all ride their bikes today…

Great idea.

They loved it!

Myla was the caboose all the way to school, but her little legs were cranking those peddles trying to keep up with everyone!!!
KJ hitched a ride with Crew in Jenn’s bike trailer –
