Ok so it seems like there is just not enough time in the day to update my blog and do everything else that needs to be done. So needless to say I am a little behind. So let’s play catch up.
July 4th, has come and gone, but it was a nice day spent with family and friends. In the morning Fernando and I enjoyed a nice breakfast in the Cogdill garage in Ogden. This is the old family tradition of going to Grandpa and Grandma Cogdill’s house and lining up the tables in the garage. We fire up the industrial size grills and start cooking pancakes and bacon. Nothing is spared when it comes to the pancakes and we have not changed the recipe that Grandpa and Grandma perfe cted using buttermilk in the pancake batter. Yes no calories are counted that is for sure when it comes to cooking at grandpa and grandmas. The buttermilk in the pancake batter is just one of those comfort things. If they were made any differently it just wouldn’t be the same. After enjoying the hot pancakes cooked by the “new” cook in the family (dad has accepted the spatula duty as it was passed down from generation to generation….hmmm maybe if Ben moves back to Utah he could receive the next roll of the cook in the years to come.) We enjoyed talking and catching up with the family. Good’ol times! Cameron found the hose and nozzle and had a great time seeing how fast people could run. He entertained us for a while.

After enjoying the breakfast Fernando and I set off to enjoy the rest of the day. We headed home and did a few things around the house and then cleaned up and went down to Sandy. We met up with our friends Breck (aka John) and Johanna and enjoyed a nice dinner at Spaghetti Mammas…nothing says the 4th like an Italian meal…hmmm does that make sense. Anyway we then went to the Sandy park and met up with Colby, Elliot and there cute little boy Priest, enjoyed a concert in the park and fireworks. It was great enjoying the summer night leaning up against Fernando. After the fireworks we put it in Fernando’s hands to maneuver through the traffic. Which he did very nicely!! We then met up and Elliot & Colby’s house and enjoyed chatting and lounging around. After chatting for a few hours into the early morning we decided it was time to head home. Thanks Colby for putting up with us even though you had to get up early in the morning to go to work. It was great to sit and visit.
Breck & Jo waiting for the fireworks!
Fernando and I enjoying the 4th!We had a very nice 4th and really enjoyed the time with family and friends, although the weekend went by so fast.
