The Fray

On Saturday we went with some of our friends to the Fray concert at Usana Amphitheater. We rode in the same car as Brian and Stacey and on the way we stopped at the Cheesecake Factory to eat. It was really good but we had so much food left over. The meals there are huge. After that we headed towards the concert. We had all been there before but this time we had forgotten to bring Betty(we named our Garmin GPS Betty). Even without Betty (the Garmin) we found Usana and got a good parking place right in front which is good until you are trying to leave.
The concert was good and we had a lot of fun. The weather was really hot at first. I saw a sign in West Valley that said it was 104 degrees. After the sun went down the weather was really pleasant. Here are a few pictures we took at the concert.

After the concert when it was time to leave the parking lot was packed. (as always after a concert) Because we had a really close spot at the beginning we were one of the last ones to leave. While we were waiting to get out of the parking lot we watched these people get into a huge fight. One lady kept getting in and out of the taxi and every time she would get out she would scream and push somebody. Then at the end she got really mad at the guy she was with and started marching away from him while she was still yelling. The guy chased her all over the parking lot. Needless to say it made our wait much more entertaining.
When we finally got out of the parking lot we headed towards the road that we came in on so we could get back to I 15. On the way there was some construction and we were detoured. We ended up driving through this little back road in Magna where the only thing open was a few bars. When we got back to a main road we looked up and there was Kennicot Copper (sorry about the spelling). We really could have used Betty(the Garmin). Well it was dark and none of us really knew how we had gotten here after all of the detours so we turned around and went back the other direction and we found the freeway. When we finally made it home it was late but we had a lot of fun.

Here are a few random pictures of Roman that I took the other day.

ROMAN ROBERT FONUA

Roman finally decided to grace us with his presence on Saturday July 11, 2009 at 10:43 pm. He was 7lbs 9oz and 21 inches long. Hily went into labor around 7pm on Friday night. They went to the hospital around 11pm Friday and it took him 20 plus hours to get here. Hily ended up having a C-section. Mom, Dad, and Roman are doing great. They were all able to come home on Monday. He is so much fun none of us can stay away.
This is a picture of Roman and Daddy right after he was born.

His face is so cute!
The new mommy!

4th of July Weekend

This weekend was so much fun. Jess had most of the week off so we were able to do a lot of fun activities. On Thursday my dad, Jess and I went to the St. Anthony sand dunes. We woke up early on Thursday morning and drove up there. It was a lot of fun and the weather was great. Here is a picture of Jess and my Dad at the dunes.

While we were at the sand dunes a jet flew down really close to us. It was lower than most of the sand hills. I have never seen a jet flying so close to me. I didn't get a picture of it when it was really close because I was to busy watching it but I did get one when it turned around. It wasn't that close to us when I took this picture.

That night we came home and went out to eat for my brother-in-law David's birthday. Happy Birthday David!
On Friday morning we went boating with some of Jess's family. The water was pretty warm and the kids had a fun time swimming and riding in the boat. Our nephew Tyler was really brave and rode the tube with us. He really like it. He is only three but it wanted to keep going.
This is Jess, Me, Tyler, and Savannah on the tube.

That night we went to the Logan fireworks with some of our friends. The firework were really good this year.




On Saturday we went to the Lewiston parade. I could not believe how many people were there. After the parade we went boating again but this time we went with some of our friends. We spent the day riding the tube and wake boarding. After that we went to the Cruise In and watched all the old cars. We ended the night by going to the Lewiston fireworks. Lewiston did a good job this year with the fireworks. They were like 15 minutes long.
It was a busy weekend but it was so much fun. I love holiday weekends!
