Teya passed on a self-check test for brain damage. She hit her head pretty hard a couple of days ago and must have been worried that she did some serious damage. She later told us that when she hits her head, she asks herself, "What is 1 + 1?" If she knows the answer, then she doesn't have brain damage.
OK. (sigh) I guess I'll have Steak
The family 4th of July get-together in Provo was bring-your-own meat for BBQ. To save money, we purchased hamburger meat to bring. When Cara was first told about the event, she pleaded, "Can we please have ribs. I love ribs!"
"No, Cara, we are not having ribs."
"Ok, (sigh) I guess I'll have steak."
(You can imagine her disappointment when she was brought down to reality that we were bringing hamburgers.)
Fortunately, Grandpa & Grandma came through and brought filet mignon for her and us. (Jer says: Yes, steak is better that dessert.) If God didn't want us to eat animals, He wouldn't have made them out of meat.
Cara's 5K:
We are so proud of Cara. She ran her first 5K, finishing in the top 36% of all female runners, and in the top half of all runners. She had enough "juice" at the end that she sprinted the last 200 meters, passing several runners and attracting notice of the race announcer, "There's a runner that is excited to finish."

Fun 4th of July Weekend:
Other than a few people getting sick and Kyle throwing up in his aunt's car, it was a wonderful weekend. We had great times with the family, including a BBQ, swimming, croquet, fireworks, flag raising ceremony, Grandma Johnson's 4th of July program, fun runs, and Toy Story 3.
The interaction of the two-year olds was fireworks itself.
