Goodbye to Summer Swimming!

We went swimming outside for the last time this year! We sure have had a lot of fun in the water this summer... especially Boston.

Quick Trip

On Friday night we took a quick trip up to our Landlords cabin to help them out and enjoy some more time in the mountains!
Jeremy helped Bruce put new shingles on the shed, while I helped do some painting.
We went on a short but beautiful hike!
We decided to make some brownies even though we didn't have eggs! BAD IDEA! It came out harder then a rock!
Boston loved these two wooden spoons! He just might become quite the drummer! Or he might become quite the cowboy!
The Aspen's around the area are just breath taking! We feel very lucky to live underneath such great people who allowed us the chance to enjoy the mountains for a couple days!

4 wheeling

The wonderful people we rent from invited us to go 4 wheeling with them! We had so much fun, saw so many beautiful sights, and got SO DIRTY!!
Conquering a Big Rock!
This is a picture of the sun just setting behind the mountain. If I had a better camera I am sure you could see it a lot better!
I love Utah! You can leave your house at 5:30pm and go 4 wheeling through a beautiful canyon, have a picnic and still be back before your little guy has to go to bed! I am always amazed at what Utah has to offer!

Amazing Grace- A must see!

I highly recommend this movie. It is an amazing true story about William Wilberfore and his quest to free all slaves. It also tells of how the beautiful song Amazing Grace came to be. I have a whole new love and respect for this song.

"Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,That saved a wretch like me....I once was lost but now am found,Was blind, but now, I see.

T'was Grace that taught...my heart to fear.And Grace, my fears relieved.How precious did that Grace appear...the hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils and snares...we have already come.T'was Grace that brought us safe thus far...and Grace will lead us home.

The Lord has promised good to me...His word my hope secures.He will my shield and portion be...as long as life endures.

When we've been here ten thousand years...bright shining as the sun.We've no less days to sing God's praise...then when we've first begun.

"Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, That saved a wretch like me....I once was lost but now am found,Was blind, but now, I see.

3 Years Ago Today...

Today is Jeremy and I's 3rd Anniversary! I am so glad I married Jeremy. He is absolutly perfect for me. I couldn't ask for anyone better! I am so grateful that we were married in the temple, which allows us the privledge to live together as husband and wife forever if we live worthy of that blessing. It is so comforting to know that death isn't the end of it, but rather I can be with my family forever.

Anniversary Celebration in Park City

Jeremy and I were lucky enough to leave Boston with my parents for the weekend so we could celebrate our anniversary in Park City! The first evening we had lots of fun eating, shopping, and people watching along Main Street!
The next day we went to the Olympic Park! The Museum there provided a lot of fun and also lots of picture moments as you can see!

The highlight of the Olympic park was getting to see the Aerial All Stars perform off of the ski jumps into the giant pool! Here is just a glimpse of what we saw! AMAZING!!

What a fantastic anniversary to celebrate a fantastic 3 years together!

Let The Games Begin!

I am so excited for the Beijing Olympics to start today!!


08-08-08
I love the powerful music, the unity between countries, the emotional stories of triumph, and the amazing athleticism. I love the spirit of the games, watching the world come together as one.

Although it was a little bit different weather, these Olympics have brought back fun memories of when Salt Lake had the privilege to host the games. That was such a fun time for me and my family so I thought I would share a few photo memories.


I am so grateful my parents weren't afraid of the Olympics, but rather embraced them. We went all over the place, from Salt Lake City, to Park City enjoying the winter Olympic games.
My family got so into it, we put the Olympic rings in lights on top of our roof! It was SWEET!


Take the time to enjoy the Olympics this year, and the spirit of the games!

Remember the Song "99 Red Balloons Go By"

Our Weekend In Boise!

We went up to Boise this weekend for the G.F.L. (Garner Football League Draft) For those of you that want to know what that is read on. For those of you who don't, just enjoy the pictures! To begin the festivities we started off Friday night with the Welcome reception, Draft Lottery, and the All-Star Game! While most were busy inside, some of us and all the kids enjoyed playing the bubbles, and the playground!
On Saturday Morning the Men went golfing, which meant we had our own little party in the Motel! My nephews Logan and Mason enjoyed jumping from one bed to the other!

In the afternoon we attended the champions lunch, and loved all the great food!
Immediately after lunch, the 2008 Player Draft Began! It is a "see it to believe it" experience!

You see, The Roger Garner Family and my family all get together and draft players for their fantasy football teams. In the draft room we have the huge projector screen, and each team has their own table lamp, their own football helmet design, and theme song. We also have a ton of trophies and awards that are given out. For years friends and family have tried to understand what we do every year the first weekend in August... well this is the best I can explain it. Hopefully the pictures show you how it is a very serious, yet fun event!

Do These Make Me Looks Smart?
