A Special Occasion

Sunday was a special day for my bother and sister. My brother got ordained as an Elder. They are planning on becoming sealed on the 7th of September and I can't wait. Such a special blessing seeing two people work together to accomplish such a sweet and special gift.

Jeremy and I were't married in the Temple infact we got married at the Cottonwood Country Club. It was such a beautiful affair. It wasn't until two years later that I decided that we needed to be sealed for all time and eternity. So I headed to our bishop at the time, talked with him and a few months later we were sealed in the Salt Lake Temple on our 2 year anniversary. Such a special day an occasion.

I am so happy for my brother and sister and I can't wait until their sealing day comes. Love you both!

Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner

As a family we woke up early to head downtown by Liberty Park to eat breakfast with my brother and sister at the Park Cafe.

We were able to sit outside and enjoy the scenery. The service was ok, but the food came way fast. After our delicious breakfast we headed up to the Uinta's to meet up with more of the South Clan and some friends. They were staying at Trial Lake. We arrived at the lake about 12:30 and the clan that was camping had decided to hike up to Wall Lake which is about 2 miles. So we made ourselves comfortable, while we waited for them to arrive back at camp.

 

 

The kids were able to play with their cousins and friends while the adults were able to sit around and chit chat. While we were there the rain kept trying to decided what it wanted to do, meaning it would sprinkle then stop then thunder then rain a little then stop then sprinkle. Aparently on Friday it rained all day.

 

We finally headed out around 4 pm to head home. We stopped in Kamas at the popular Burger and Fries joint "Dick's".

 

After a nice dinner, we headed home, showered, got into PJ's and rested for the rest of the night.

 

 

A Friday Outing

Jeremy was able to take Friday off and so we decided to hang out as a family. We ended up getting ready around 1 pm them headed to Olive Garden for some lunch (since Jeremy was craving pasta). After stuffing our faces, we drove by and around the Oquirrh Mountain Temple (since Abi always has to know where a temple is) and then headed home for a relaxing afternoon.

New Shoes, A Picnic & The Pie

The kids and I headed into Payless where to check out some new shoes for the kiddos. After looking, trying on, trying on more, the kids finally found some that they loved.

 

Abi picked grey Minnie shoes and Jack picked orange Planes shoes.

 

After running errands we decided to pick up some lunch and have a little picnic.

 

We headed home to wait for Jeremy. After Jeremy got home from work we decided to head out and have dinner at the pie.

 

 

 

 

Such a fun family night!

 

 

 

A day in Ogden

The kids and I decided to head up to Ogden so they could play with their cousins and I could chat with my Sister In Law and her sister.

The kids had hot dogs with chips and then a bunch of swimming. Us ladies had stuffed peppers/zucchini's - they were delicious. We had such a fun time heading up there, hanging out, chatting and swimming.

 

Thanks Mindy for letting us come up and visit.

Parade of Homes 2013

On a Saturday afternoon, Landon and Cristy, Zury, Brooke and Logan, Mom and I decided to head out and see the homes that were on display. Our route started on the east side of the valley which then lead quickly to the west south end of the valley with an additional stop in at a model home that Brooke and Logan love and plan to build some day.

I didn't take a lot of pictures, but some fun ideas no less.

Take me OUT to the Ball Game

Jeremy's work decided this year to do a little company party at the Bee's Game. We were going to take Trax, but to find the pick up schedules is a joke; so we decided to just drive up to the game. Dinner started before the game and there were a lot of parties going on. In the end they gave away an iPad Mini, iPad and a Razor 4-wheel, unfortunately we didn't win anything but had a great time.

 

We ended up leaving about 8, due to the kids getting a little bored. We had such a fun evening and weekend.

Seven Peaks Family Day

Jeremy was able to take a Friday off and so we piled in the car and headed down to Seven Peaks Provo. The kids and I have been a few times, but Jeremy had never been or couldn't remember. So spending the day in the wave pool, going down the yellow and blue slide or just hanging out in the kids area, we had a lot of fun.

 

 

After a fun filled day of swimming, sun tanning and just enjoying some family time, we headed off towards home. We showered and got ready as Jeremy was going to take me to see RED 2. We dropped the kids off at my Sisters and off we went.

 

After the movie (which was really good) we headed over to Chili's for a little appetizer and drinks to then head home and pick up our little children.

 

We had such a fun, busy, but great day.

July 2013

Jack and Abigail,

Both you of you continue to love to read as well as learn new things.

The month of July I think has turned more into being more daring for the both of them.

Jack when it comes to swimming you have lately decided not to wear your floaties. It pretty much started at Uncle Jake's when wearing your floaties you were jumping off of the trampoline into the pool or sliding down the slide into the pool. You have been daring by holding your breath and going under water. Jack you then advanced at Grandma H's pool, when you decided not to wear your floaties. Yet, staying in the shallow end you continued to jump off of the pool stairs into the water by holding your breath and popping up out of the water a little bit later. You continue to be brave each and every day.

Jack you have also become a great dealer. The other day while at Grandma H's you wanted to go run outside. I was needing to ask Grandma H a question and was holding you up for going out side. You finally told Grandma that if you didn't make it outside that you were going to throw up and started making throwup noises. You continue to this day to make awesome deals if you don't get your way.

Abigail when it comes to swimming you as well as your brother have decided to be brave. Starting at Jake's you also slide down the slide into the pool. You continue on holding your breath as you go under water, testing yourself. You used to be afraid jumping into the water and have you go under, but you now enjoy it. You haven't quite gotten to the point of swimming without your floaties, but I am sure that day will soon arrive.

Abigail you have become a great entertainer. Since watching "Pitch Perfect" you love singing all of the songs, doing the moves and copying scenes of the movie. If you could you would watch any singing movie that catches your attention over and over again. We love watching you perform, sing, and dance.

You both make us so proud. We love you both and are excited for what the future holds for both of you.
