Theft

Yesterday I got a strange voice mail from the company that watches our Visa card through America First Credit Union. The message pretty much just said that they needed either Ryan or I to call them back asap concerning our Visa card. So, Ryan called them and found out that someone tried using our credit card to get $1600 in travelers checks, in Las Vegas, on Sunday morning. The transaction was declined and flagged, and that's why they called us. Ryan looked in his wallet to see if his card was missing, it was not. I didn't have my wallet with me (we were at Ryan's parent's house), so we assumed that my card must be missing. When we got home I looked in my wallet, my card wasn't missing either.
So, this morning Ryan called the bank to find out more details. He told them that we have our cards, so how could this happen? Evidently there is a new technology out there.... after you swipe your card, someone can come after you and swipe a card, getting your information. They then make a fake Visa with your magnetic code on the back, your card number on the front, and your name on the card. Great news huh? Someone swiped a card after one of us and made a fake card of ours. Can you believe it? So, our cards are cancelled and I think I am going to a cash only system. They would have totally gotten away with it if they had done something local and not for such a huge amount (dumb thief). What a pain.
So, everyone be warned. They could this to you too..... at the grocery store, the gas station, the post office, the pharmacy, anywhere. It is scary!

Horse Cake

This weekend I had a Horse Cake order from someone in my brother's ward. It was for a 9 year old's birthday. They had no idea what they wanted, other than something to do with a horse. I had to come up with the entire design. It was kind of a challenge coming up with a design, but once I decided what to do it was great! I am super pleased with how it came out. They were also very pleased with the cake. It was great. This is something I really enjoy, so it's a great little business for me. So, here are some pictures of the cake (they turned out a little dark, there is a mom and baby horse on top):

Isabel Fishing

Over the 24th hoilday weekend we went camping up at the cabin (we actually stayed in our trailer). It was so much fun. Ryan bought Isabel this Spongebob finshing pole, and boy did she love it! She stood there for 2 hours "finshing". Of course she really didn't have a hook and there was no way she was going to catch anything, but she had so much fun. I was suprised she could actually cast and reel. She is the most talented 2 year old ever, her Grandpa DeLong will be so proud!

Family Party

Yesterday we had a family party at our house with all my siblings and their kids. It was so much fun, a lot of work, but a really good time. Our party was an "International Party", meaning we had food and activities from around the world. The kids had so much fun and the food was so good. It was great to be with everyone. Me and my siblings. From L to R: Jennifer Michelle, Emily, Me, Lisa, Sam
Davis (my nephew) doing the Limbo. This was so much fun to watch and the kids loved it!
The highlight of the evening was by far the pinata. This is my niece Grace taking a swing at it. This was really fun, I think we should make a tradition of it.
All the DeLong grankids (minus Sam). They are such cute kids. It was so much fun for them to be together, they love to be together.

Music and Lyrics

I love this video. We were watching the movie "Music and Lyrics" the other day and it made me laugh so hard. It is so 80s, I love it!

More Like Siblings

This is Isabel and Sam this morning. Usually she does much better giving him a ride, this morning was a little rough. These two play more like siblings than cousins, and fight more like siblings too.

4th of July Demolition Derby

Last night we went to the demolition derby in Ogden. It was so much fun! We went with Ryan's siblings and their spouses and Michelle (my sister) and her date. We had such a blast! The cars were awesome...... up in flames, rolled over, and generally very banged up. It was great. They also did fireworks after the derby. They were pretty good fireworks. It was a really fun way to spend the 4th. Here we are at the derby. I know I look very fat..... that's because I am.

This was during the truck round. It was the best round. The drivers were crazy! One of the trucks rolled over and a couple of them ended up hanging over the edge (like in this picture). If you look closely at the picture, you can see the one truck on it's side (behind the black one). This round was very wild!
