Stupid car part 2

I forgot to add-Kyle helped me change out the battery in the camry, handing me tools and diet coke to eat away the battery stuff. At any rate after we put the new battery in he was so excited. He ran into the house and told Melanie to come and see the new battery. When Melanie came out I tried to start the car but couldn't because of the alarm problem. Kyle was so disappointed that it didn't start he kicked the car, at least he didn't swear like his dad.

New info-I have now discovered my alarm is an after market installation and I can't reset the system. I am having a mechanic come look at it in the near future.

Stupid car

I am getting ready to sell my grandma bonneville car. It's the first time it has been cleaned out and vacuumed since I have owned it. I have had a Toyota Camry sitting in my driveway dormant for about 5 months. It had no problems when I parked it, just parked it to put more miles on the bonneville. So I started to fiddle with it. I bought a new battery for the Camry. The stupid theft alarm system won't shut off and I can't get it to start as a result. I worked on it for an hour or so before I called dad to make it all better. He came over and we both worked on it for another couple of hours. After the first hour we wised up and at least disabled the horn, which was great because then we could hear each other swear. Actually dad did pretty good, I was losing it. At any rate-we haven't figured it out yet. GRRRRRRRRRRRR!

4th of July

4th of July for us was a blast! Dad, me, Brianna, and Kyle went down to the Brown reunion. It was fun to visit with Australia cousin Boyd who is now a cop in Las Vegas and hear some of his stories. Food was great. It was fun to watch Trent throw Troy into the kiddie pool

After that we went back to Idaho Falls. Melanie and I had decided to rent a room on the river so the kids could see the fireworks. I hate crowds and the thought of dealing with the traffic after the fireworks was not appealing to me. But a friend suggested to rent a hotel. We went to the hotel and layed our blanket out back on the grass to reserve our spot for the fireworks-then went to hard hat cafe for dinner, then swimming at the hotel, then went out and layed on the grass about 15 min before the fireworks started and they did not dissappoint. The only let down was that Kameron fell asleep a few min after they started-it was so loud I couldn't believe he fell asleep. Brianna was scared at first but liked it in the end. Kyle loved it. The best part I didn't have to think about traffic afterwards and went to sleep in the hotel room. It was a fun day.
