BBQ for Sam

Sunday we spent the day getting all our fire trucks put back together, working on things at the fire station and programming radios. It was still a fire filled day. My Aunt has a niece (on her husbands side) that just moved to Utah with her girlfriend Sam and her son Mason. We first met Mindy and Mason when we went to Ohio 2 years ago. Then they came out here to visit us and fell in love with Utah. Not much later she met Sam. After some planning and talking they decided Utah was where they wanted to be! I can imagine its quite a culture shock! They said they cant believe how awful drivers are here and how fast they drive hahaha plus how many people have flipped them off. Gotta love our drivers. 
They have only been in Utah a week or so and Sams birthday was coming up. We had never officially met Sam but had been Facebook friends with her. The family decided to throw her a welcome to Utah and the family bbq birthday party. She was pretty surprised! 
Mom smoked ribs, everyone brought a side dish. We had ice cream cake and the kids ran wild. It was family, Todd and Jana, Dave and Betty, Phil, Justin and his daughter. In our 'family' it doesnt mean blood relations to be family. Its who is a part of your life. We did it usual driveway style!

Kennedy had been playing with her friends and was SOAKED before we came up so we made her change. Well when we got there all the kids were in grandmas pool. So she just swam with her clothes on! Then after dinner they all had a water balloon fight. 
Justin spent all dinner blowing up water balloons for the kids




 and it turned into a lets all get Justin fight
Hes a trooper with UHP but we still like him anyways hahaha
