Crazy

Well, I finally caught up with some family blogging. Can you tell? How many posts have I posted in the last couple of hours? I think this is my last for tonight. I wanted to show some funny pictures we took at the airport today when we all went to welcome Carrie home. They show just how CRAZY I am.

Happy Birthday Crystal, Syliva, and Spencer this weekend.

The Fit, the Fat, and the Fossils

I think Justin is a great artist. He designed this graphic for Crystal's Ragnar Wasatch Back Relay Team. I was lucky to be on the team too. I didn't run though. I volunteered to be part of the race crew.

It's a small world too. We found out at Chase's Farewell luncheon that Natalie's fiance Zach also ran Ragnar this year. Congratulations Crystal & Zach. You Rock!!!

Platt Reunion & Chase's Mission Farewell

On Saturday June 26, we had a small Platt family reunion up in Milcreek Canyon. We roasted marshmallows and hotdogs. It was a lot of fun. I captured a few pictures that evening.

The next morning Chase spoke in church and we all went to listen to him. We had a Cafe Rio style luncheon afterwards at Bryan and Lisa's house. Now it's official, Chase is in the M.T.C. "We love you Chase. Have FUN. Take care." I'm sad that I can't find any pictures of the day. I must have left my camera in the car. I'm sure Aunt April has some though.

Fun on Stella's Birthday

Stella got a parachute for her birthday and we had some fun. Brody and Payson were able to come too. Skids will play!!!

Congratulations Jordan!!!

In case you haven't heard, Jordan got accepted into another graduate program. Forgive me if I remember incorrectly, but I think he's been accepted to a special program at Georgetown University. His University of Utah days are over. Amy and Jordan are moving to Washington D.C. They are going to be renting their new house they just purchased. The Utah cousins will miss you.

Jordan is also in the process of riding his bike from Canada to Mexico. What adventuring spirits, Amy and Jordan have.

I can't remember if you're going to be able to make it to Korea with the rest of the family to pick up Spencer. I hope you get to. I think that will be another fun, amazing, adventure.

Uncle Bryan is a dinosaur.

The Skid is "50"

I know, I know, it's kind of a "cheezy" post.

"Wax" Museum

I took Maizy to a "wax" museum at one of the local schools in May. It was a fun little outing.

Welcome Home Carrie!

It was so much fun playing at the airport this morning while we waited for Carrie to arrive. I wish Oscar had gotten to bed earlier the night before though, he said that's the reason he was not being the most pleasant person. Zeke just has a lot of energy. I thought we were going to be banned from the airport for his continuous riding on the escalators, even after a security officer had already talked to him earlier. I told Zeke that we will have to save our money to buy an escalator that he can play on. The ones at the airport aren't ours, so we can't play on them.

I didn't get many pictures taken with my camera. I know others have some good ones. I just thought I'd post some of what I captured. You're so beautiful Carrie...sorry we stole your balloons...Welcome Home!!!

Those who were at the airport this morning included: Uncle Allen, Aunt Kathy, Natalie, Grandma and Grandpa Lee, Aunt April, Uncle Bryan, Aunt Lisa, Jason, Austin, Aunt Julie, Charity, Mandy, Oscar, Zeke, Maizy, and Stella.

Congrats to Shannen!

Word is that Shannen received her first acceptance letter from an agent for her book she's been trying to get published. Her dream is now in reach!

More Birthday Shoutouts!

This past week Maizy celebrated her 5th birthday on the 20th. Dianne celebrated her birthday in the 24th, and Charity celebrated Dianne's birthday by getting a haircut on her 1 year anniversary since she last cut her hair. Charity than celebrated her birthday on the 25th with dinner at Archibald's and watching the pleasure of getting her dad and sister Mandy to watch Twilight and New Moon! Mandy celebrated her birthday up at the canyons for the annual Platt Family Reunion, which was fantastic! Uncle Ted also celebrated his bithday on the 30th, which was also the day Mikayla Faldmo was born! Exciting!
