Good Times and Bad times!

First and foremost - Sorry for the long lapse of bloggin'!!
I have been a busy bee with friends and family coming to stay!
You know us, Party ANIMAL Olsen's,
We are always up for the good time!

Now for a few of the GOOD TIMES!

1. We had a ROCK'n 4th of July!
First of all we hit the Provo Parade for the first time ever.
I have to say at first I was very dissapointed.
There were 10 rows of people everywhere and very
little places to sit.
Then for the first half of the parade
it was a bunch of Karate people, and
YES you will only see at a UTAH parade
Mom's with strollers of children marching down the street! SAD!! Or floats of
temples with a couple dressed in tux and wedding dress
going to get married at the temple and singing
to each other "Going to the TEMPLE and we're gonna get married"
How clever HUH!!!
HA


BUT - I must say then Glenn Beck (who I LOVE)
went by and it got much better after that with some kick-BUM
floats and even a huge balloon of curious george. So it ended with a bang!

2.
Then RIley and I got to go to the
Stadium of FIRE
and see Miley Cyrus
We had nose bleed seats and so she looked kinda like this....
BUT RILEY was just excited to be in her presents!
(thanks Jenny and Megan for hooking us up with the tickets it was a
fun night and fun to get to hang with you guys)

3. The Heaps had a fun BBQ for all us
since the Thorne's were in town.
It was super fun and super yummy!!
The kids had a fun time playing the water and doing fireworks later!
Now for the BAD TIMES!!

EVERYTHING IS BREAKING!!
1. My camera got trampled on by the kids and
it won't work!! Which is one reason for the NONE BLOGGING!!
So I am having to steal pictures for this post. HA HA

2. My van is died the other day and so I'm a bit car-less until we
find something else.

Ok that is all that has broken but those are two major things in my life!
So sorry for the none posting and this lame post but it's the best I can do for now!!
ta ta for now!!
