Traci Abramson

Mike had a work party here that he was pretty excited about.  Becky came over early to help with the food.  She also brought eclairs she had made at home.  Becky and Mike learned to make stuffed hamburgers. They loved them!  I ended up stuffing mine with pineapple and bacon bits.  Pretty good, but messy.  Mine would fall apart.

Mike's friends and their families seemed to have a great time.  They ate, swam, did the batting cage and played Mike Tyson's Punch-Out.  What more could you want?  Especially on a work day.

I left while Mike and Becky were cooking and took Maysen to American Fork.  She came in the afternoon today.  She was able to sit in on a meeting with Traci Abramson.  Afterwords, she was able to have some one-on-one time with her.  My neighbors were so jealous!  They are huge Traci Abramson fans.  Pretty great that Sam set this up.

The Internship Begins

Maysen started her Internship with Sam today.  It makes for some crazy mornings, but she loves it!  Sam is awesome.  Maysen has the office next to Sam.  The lady who works there only works in the afternoons.  Pretty cozy.  I dropped Maysen off today and Sam brought her home.  I couldn't get her right away because my visiting teachers were over.  All the kids came with me to pick Maysen up.  They wanted to play with Anne.  Matt was upset when we got there because they changed the time of Sesame Street to 3:00 in the morning.  Matt thought that was an inconvenient time.  Stockton, Jorja and Preston played with Anne for awhile on the trampoline.

Preston had his first dive meet of the season.  He did a falling front dive, a front jump and a back jump.  He is not scared of diving anymore, but he hasn't wanted to put a hurdle in front of his dive yet.

Preston likes the above picture because it looks like he is hanging from the roof.  Preston had a swim meet today, but thunder came and it was cancelled.  We waited and waited and finally they called it.  They are going to reschedule it for Wednesday.  Too bad we have to drive all the way up here then.  Oh well.

Mike took the other kids to his family reunion.  Preston and I were able to make it before it ended . . . thanks to the rain delay.  They had a great time playing at the park.  Maysen spent a lot of time in a tree, lots of baseball was played and some great fun was had on playground equipment that would make me dizzy to even look at.

We got home pretty late, but the kids had a wonderful time.
