UPDATE

OK Sydnee here's a new post. (HA HA) I have been extremely busy the last two weeks. We have James and Jenny and their family here and we have been having an ongoing Mordecai Family reunion. We've had a great time. We drove to Bear Lake to meet Vaughn's dad and step mom one day. After the 3 hour drive, which Vaughn was positive was only going to take us 2 hours or less, we met up with the family. We had lunch and hiked the Minnatonka cave. We visited for about 3o min and drove home. On the way home Cirric said "We drove all day and only got to go to one cave?" It was a lot of driving, but fun. We spent Sunday (Father's Day) taking family pictures and having both my family and Vaughn's family over for yummy sweet pork salads. Tuesday we went to Lagoon with Vaughn's mom and sisters. It was really fun. The park was not crowded so the older kids got to go off alone. I think they had a lot more fun that way. Thursday Vaughn, James, Adam, Josh, Drezden, and Andy headed off for a brothers camping trip. They were going to go down to Zions but after looking at the weather they decided just to go up American Fork canyon. They had a great time together although James got altitude sickness and had to come home earlier than planned. It worked out nice for Jenny and I cause Vaughn and James took us out to dinner and to the Real Game. James continued to feel very sick. Jenny looked up west nile virus and we think that is what James had. Not a very fun last few days for him here. We said good bye to Adam Monday as he went to see his "MOM" for the summer. It's hard for me to use that term for her as I know that Jenny is his MOM and is the only one that deserves that title. Not my place to decide. We took James to the airport yesterday and then took Madi and Brinn on a girls day of shopping. Good times! It's so fun to have a daughter. We ended they day at Carma's swimming pool. The kids are having a great summer with their cousins here. I don't think Mitch and Cirric have stopped laughing and playing the whole time. It's great that they get along so good. I have lots of pictures to post as soon as I have a little more time. Hopefully soon.
