Sunday Drive

With Jeremy working nights and only having a couple of nights off a week we haven't really been able to do a lot of family time. So Sunday we decided that after church, after naps, we would escape our indoor home and go for a drive.
We decided to go to Herriman and hang out at the man made lake as well as check out the vegitation of what was left of the mountain side since the huge fire about a year ago. As we headed to the lake there were barriers everywhere blocking the way due to it being closed. Where should we go next. It had been a while since Jeremy had gone up Butterfield Canyon and that was where are little car decided to head. As we were driving we decided to find a area to get out and run around.

Jack climbing up the mountain, it was pretty steep, he lost his footing and slid down

Jack, what dirty shorts you have

You can't tell he likes to climb, can you?

Heading back to where the car is

Making sure our feet are clean for the ride home.

It was a beautiful day. I am so lucky to have my family and be able to share and spend special moments likes this. Can't wait for more to come.

11 Years & Counting

This year wasn't as extravagant as last year, but overall it was nice, sweet and loved every minute of it. Since last year was my planning it was Jeremy's turn. This year for our anniversary I asked my mom to come over and watch the kids while we spent a night out on the town. Due to our crazy schedules we celebrated our anniversary on Friday June 24.
Jeremy decided to take me to see Mr Popper'sPenguins. Most likely we are going to buy Cars 2, so we figured we should see something else.

We are big fans of Jim Carrey and he did a really good job in this movie. We are of coarse most likely going to buy this movie as well.

After the movie we decided to have Japanese, so we went to the Blue Fish at the District.

The Blue Fish was good. The weather was wonderful nice and warm with a cool breeze, so we sat outside. I had sushi...surprise and Jeremy had a chicken dish. It was really good, but I am a true favorite of Sakana.

It was a really nice evening going out with my husband, enjoying his company and of coarse thinking about our kids in the back of our minds. It was been a fun 11 years and I am excited to continue this journey.

Father's Day


This is a shout out to all of the great dad's out there. Especially to Jeremy, my Dad and Jeremy's Dad.
This year for Father's Day the kids got Jeremy a new cell phone, but after all of the cool gadgets it won't do video (lame) so we returned it. Next I got him some new shorts and shirts and a new swim suit.
For dinner we had salad, fish and artichokes. We love you Jeremy, Dad & George. We hope you all had a Happy Father's Day!
