First, Eric had his softball come to an end. The bad thing is that 
the ball in the last game had to leave its mark until the next year. He was playing 1st Base and in a crucial moment at the end of the game, a hot grounder was hit is way and took a bad bounce... popping him in the chest-- and dropping him to the ground. Luckily for him, his dad was able to make from the bleachers to his injured boy in about 3.4 seconds-- which is also impressive because as always, he was wearing his trusty flip-flops. Way to go dad!

Eric could hear him coming as soon as he hit the ground- it was pretty amazing. Dad can't run real well, but when the pressure is on, he sure steps it up! It left a nasty bruise, but he'll make it.
Softball ended and Eric is thinking about hanging up the cleats and retiring. He seems to get slower and his skills aren't getting sharper so he says he's trying to preserve what pride he has left. Probably better for his body anyway.
We got to enjoy the 24th holiday to the fullest with the Days of '47 Rodeo and the big parade in SLC. Eric's dad hooked us up with some grandstand seats on the front row so we had a prime spot to see the show! We got to go with our good friends, the Brewers. It was there 1st rodeo and we were glad to host them to a good show. No bull-riders were killed, but one did break his leg. Pretty sweet.
We had a great spot at the rodeo to get a good pic of our great Prophet. 97 and going strong!!
No parade is complete without the bagpipes
Unfortunately, Eric had to work in the afternoon because he had a training in his new job that was mandatory. It sucked.
Since the holiday ended, Heather's been busy with school stuff and getting her classroom ready. Eric spent a couple of days in Denver for work and got to hit up a Rockies game and do some river rafting. Poor Eric. We've been excited that Eric got his first paycheck from the new job so we hit up the Happy Sumo. Heather's been craving the sushi since last March-- when Eric was last on a salary pay. IT WAS AWESOME!!! It was a nice night. We came home and watched our new copy of The Bourne Identity and got to rest. The rest of the night consisted of Heather trying to carry on a conversation and Eric falling asleep on her... the river wore him out!!We had a good July and we're excited for August-- except that Heather has to start teaching in like 3 weeks. Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh!

Love that picture of Pres. Hinckley! I also love that your dad ran out on the field, what an awesome guy! Is that your office at work? It's HUMONGOUS! You must be a very important person! Yea for Happy Sumo!
It is great hearing what is going on in your busy lives.
Well, my first check must have not been as big because we celebrated by going to Arby's.
I loved Pres. Hinckley's gloves. I want a pair.
