Laura Tobler: Hot summer sun, a pain in the back and random love

So july was just wonderful! It was so hot and awesome. I loved it! I bought a pass of all passes in June and have been to Seven Peaks almost once a week since. One weekend Becca rented a couple jet ski's from a guy on KSL and we had a fun day at Utah Lake. Some friends brought a party floater/lounge thing. So we were either on the jet ski's, the party floater or the beach. So i rode the jet ski's a couple times with one of Becca's friends (Eric) who likes to play rough on the waves... His goal was to throw me off- which he did twice, but i'm a fighter so he came off with me both times! I drove a couple times, and once went out by myself and it was so great! It was a wonderful day- pretty much perfect if you ask me! We used my car to haul the jet ski's and i was actually very proud of myself for being able to back the trailer into the water and load/unload. I apparently have some skills that I will thank my dad for teaching me.

Becca lives near the cemetery where Peanut was buried, so i stopped in for a quick visit. It was a beautiful evening!

So a couple months ago i hurt my back playing volleyball. Ever since there will be little pinches sometimes when i bend or move. So i started going to a chiropractor to see if that would help. I went 4 times and found myself even more sore after i would go. I haven't been in a week and a half and my back has been really good. I'm going to continue to ice it and use pain reliever and nurse it back to health, but i am open to any suggestions......
I got a new nephew in July!!!!! Wooo!!! Dane Samuel was born and i loved him instantly! It's so cool that i can feel that much love for this little kid that i don't know. I can only imagine what it's like to be the parent of that little kid you barely know.

It had been a long time since i've been around for a new born! I was in Ohio when Tessa was born and met her when she was 2 months old! So before Tessa, it was Maci who is now 4. I'm grateful that i could go and meet this little guy when i got off work. I wish i could have been there for any of the Texas kids, but what can ya do!
Pioneer Day came and we had tickets to the Bee's game which has become a tradition for me- the firework show afterward is fabulous!

My cousin Scott and his friend with Bumble the Bee.

Summer means sno cones!!!!!!! Woo! My typical go-to is Cup O Sno.

Until i recently discovered....

Hukolia Shaved Ice

This was the shortboard (which is the smallest advertised size) and it was huge!!!

I've since learned what size and flavor i like!

With all the kids around we try to get them to play outside and this particular day we played with chalk. I decided to trace their outlines so they could color themselves. I had Jill trace me, but i decided to pose and i was pretty happy with how it turned out....

My EMT stuff finally came, so i officialy have my patch, sticker and ID. Woo! I went on a ride-a-long with an ambulance for a couple hours and had a good time. I got to see some typical calls and the coolest part? Flying down the street with the lights and sirens blasting. They told me i could do the IV on the first call we had but it was an elderly gentleman and i didn't want to be responsible for blowing his veins. The paramedics couldn't get it either. But it was all a good experience and i plan to do that more often.
