The most adorable pictures EVER...

2 year old pictures

So for Dallin's 2 year pics I found this cute lady who had great prices on proffesional pics. My sister in law Lacy and I decided to use her and split the sitting fee! Wow, what a great idea, plus we got the CD with all the negatives on it. I dont have the CD yet to post pics, but if you go to the photographers website she posted some ADORABLE pictures of Dallin and my neice Lyla! Check it out! I will post more when I get the CD.

Who needs the ocean?

We decided to spend the 24th up at Pineview Reservoir with Nate and Lacy, Jenny and Eric and Andy's mom. We had a blast and since we got up there around 10:00 we were one of the first people there and got a great spot on the beach. We bought one of those pop up shades so the kids would not fry (and us of course). The kids had a good time and loved sitting on the beach in the sand. They looked so cute. We packed lunches and just enjoyed the sun and cool water! Pineview is such a fun getaway even without boats. We decided next time we will have to rent wave runners because they looked way too fun! Here are some cute pics from the day!

Its been 4 years already....

So yesterday was our 4 year anniversary. We got married in the Salt Lake Temple on a beautiful day. It was so perfect. After the temple we had pictures until it was time for our luncheon that Andy's mom planned at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. That was so fun, and it was nice to get som food! Then we headed to our reception site called Castle Ridge Gardens. It is a huge house that they turned the back yard into a reception center because the owners were hardly there. It was GORGEOUS, with a waterfall, pond, pool with fountains, and grass. It actually closed because neighbors complained that it wasnt "zoned". We were one of only a few who were able to have their wedding there. Anyway, once we got there we held a ring ceremony which was nice. Then we had food for the guests while we did more pictures. After that the reception started and the guests started arriving.We greeted them for about an hour and then we had dancing which was way fun. Overall it was such a great day. I am so happy to be celebrating four wonderful years with my cute hubby. We have had such a great life so far, full of fun and ups and downs of course. We have such a beautiful son together which has been the greatest blessing!!! Hopefully we can have more little ones one day!!! Love you Babe!

A blast from the past

Memory Lane...
I got this from a friend Katie's blog. I thought it would be fun! I hope you will play along. Here are the directions:

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. Thanks!!

And the winner is....

Well it is official. Jesse is the winner of the bachelorette this year. For those who dont know, I am obsessed with that show. I dont know why, call me crazy, but I love watching the drama. I am so happy she chose Jesse, he was my favorite from the beginning. He was so "real" and just down to earth. They were so cute together, and now they are engaged and have a date set for next year. I think they will last for sure! Now the waiting begins till the next season!!

Splish Splash

Today Lacy, Jenny and I took the kids to the coolest splash park in Herrimin. I had never heard of such a thing, but was dying to find something fun for the kids. I had been wanting to go to the gateway and let Dallin play in the fountains, but it is always so crowded, and slippery. Jenny mentioned this so called "Splash park" so I thought we should check it out. It was AMAZING. Seriously, it was the best thing, and Dallin had such a ball. There were only like 7 other kids there, and the ground was not cement, it was some soft padding. There were all kinds of fun fountains and sprikler things that went off and on. I have never seen Dallin run around so much, he was so cute! Parker and Lyla were cute splasing around in the puddles too! So, for those mom's out there looking for something to do on these hot summer days, head out to Herrimin (its just on the border of Riverton, so its not too far out there). The best part about it is it is FREE! I didnt even have to get in my swim suit, I just sat on a bench and watched Dal run wild. Love it! Here's some cute pics!

Happy 4th of July

This year for the fourth, we headed over to Andy's parents neighborhood for their annual breakfast. This year was fun because Dallin was able to participate in the kids bike parade. He has loved his bike lately, and Andy was able to help push him around the block with the other kids. Of course he had to give his cousin Lyla a ride too! Those two are such a riot together! Later that night we headed off to Jordan High with Nate and Lacy, Jenny and Eric, and Andy's parent's for some great Sandy City fireworks! Dallin had a ball, and had to sit with his granddad the whole time! The kids (Dallin, Parker and Lyla) all did great, and as you can tell by the picture, Dallin loved "giving hugs" to them. Overall, it was a great 4th. (sorry about the order of the picture, I was too lazy to re arrange them)

So long Blaze

Well we could not pull it off today. We lost what we thought would be an easy win. At least we had fun all season, and today's game was pretty sweet. Andy scored us some fourth row seats, where ten of us got to enjoy the view. It was strage sitting in a different seat than normal, and we sure saw a lot more from down there. My friend Katie's hubby Travis caught a ball from a play, and this adorable picture shows just how huge game balls are. I am so used to Dallin's play sized footballs! Well, Until next year Blaze.

Oh, and P.S. Dal has worn his baseball hat every day for like a week. He is obsessed with it and freaks out if he is not wearing it. So funny!

Tim McGraw Baby!!!

Last night I went with my friend Jenny and my sister-in-law Lacy to go see Tim McGraw! It was such a blast. We sat out on the lawn at Usana (which is really the best way to go if you ask me). There were tons of CRAZY people, us included, who just kicked back and rocked out to some of Tim's greatest hits. What a fun girls night out. He is so great in concert, and Usana has really great acoustics on top of that. Here are a few cute pics from the night!!!

I have come back from the dead

So I have been on my death bed the last few days and have sucked at blogging. I still havent put any pictures from our trip, and I am sure all of you are sick of reading posts without any pics to go along with them. Well, I apologize but I cant help it. I came down with the most nasty case of Strep Throat ever. It started with a 103.2 fever and crazy headache, then my throat hurt a little so I knew I should go into the doctor because I was scheduled to work the next day. My doctor looked at my throat and said it was gnarly, so he ran a culture. Sure enough it was positive. I havent had strep throat since I was like 10, and it sure is worse than I remember. The next day my throat hurt so bad and was full of these disgusting blisters, I cant even describe (i am sure you dont want me to either!!!). Basically, it sucked and I had to miss work. I hate being sick cuz I feel helpless. It is even worse when you have a child at home who demands a lot of attention. Luckily, my family rocks and came to take Dallin swimming a few times and I was able to take him to one of his babysitters for most of the day. I am feeling better now, thank goodness. Enough rambling.

A few more things.....

I forgot to mention that last night the Blaze won their last game of the season which clinched their position into the playoffs... GO BLAZE.... not too bad for a team who started out with an 0-9 record. We love going to the games, and Dallin is such a peach and has a fabulous time. So, Saturday at 2:00 is the game. Andy is going to be crazy busy this week selling tickets, but should hopefully rack in some dough! On another note, I got a calling today for the Relief Society Board. I am really excited, I love relief society and we just got a whole new presidency. It should be a lot of fun, and gives me an opportunity to really get to know some of the sisters. I have only served in Nursery since Andy and I have been married, so I was way happy to get called to something different.

We're home

So sorry I have slacked on updating my blog. We had a great time on our mini vacation getaway, and I will post pictures soon, I am too tired tonight. We loved being able to getaway for a few days without the crazyness of being a parent. The resort was amazing and we were treated like celebreties most of the time. It was almost awkward. We got lots of sun, and I got pampered at the spa and Andy got some time on the golf course. Overall it was great. Be patient and hopefully tuesday when I am off work I will post our pictures. Unitl then....

Once in a lifetime

So you know how people win great things on TV or off game shows and all of us losers at home think, man wouldnt that be great if that ever happened to me? Well, something pretty cool happened to us. No, we didnt win the lottery or even get chosen to go on some crazy reality TV show. We were given the opportunity to take a romantic getaway to San Martin, California, which is about 30 miles south of San Jose. One of the Blaze players that Andy is good friends with won a golf tournament recently. He received a two night stay at a luxurious resort nesteled in the hills of San Martin. The package included two rounds of golf and two spa packages. Sounds great, right? Well, because the Blaze is busy ending their season, this friend of Andy's was not able to use the package that expires the end of the month. He gave it to Andy. That is right, he GAVE it to Andy. Now the thing you arent getting is how AMAZING this place is. Just to give you an idea, to stay there ONE night normally is between $700-900. To play one round of golf is aroun $400. We had to get work off, book our flights, make arragements for Dalin, and find an availablility at the resort, but we were able to do it all. We leave this Sunday and come home Wednesday. It will be nice because we will get to go stay one night with my aunt and uncle who I dont get to see very often. They live just north of San Francisco (which is where we are flying into). Oh and of course we had to incorporate some sort of sporting event into the equation.... you know my hubby.... so Sunday we will be going to the San Francisco Giants vs. Oakland A's baseball game. It will be a blast. I am so excited to finally get a vacation alone with my cute hubby. Don't get me wrong, I will miss Dallin tons and am really nervous to leave him, but I am looking forward to some relaxing and pampering for a few days. Well, sorry about the long post, but I had to share my excitement. Here is a link to the resort so you can take a look if you would like. I will take lots of pictures and post when we get back!

Say What?

I have no voice. Day three..... still no voice. I want to die, and am so tired of trying to communicate normally. Luckily I only had to work one of the three days so I didnt have to try and answe phones, or page the radiologist overhead, or even call out patient's names. I have been sick now for a week, but had started feeling better the last few days or so. I guess my voice was the last thing to get struck with the illness. Did I mention I want to die? Oh and for those who are interested in knowing, I went and got more blood work on Wenesday for my thyroid and should hopefully be hearing back from the doctor today or Monday. Wish me luck. As for my voice... I guess it is a waiting game now. Bye Bye
