Brother and Sister

I just realized that I posted Hadley's pictures from our photo shoot, and I posted Boston's pictures, but not their together pictures!  I just had to share these photos of these two.  I think my sister-in-law Jenn did an awesome job of capturing just how much they really love each other!!!  It's crazy to think that the next time we have pictures taken there will be 3 kids!
 

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ladies Lunch at the Splash Pad

My Mom, Aunt, and cousins all got together on Tuesday for a ladies lunch!

Since all the kids were out of school, my cousin offered her neighborhood splash pad for the location!  The kids didn't seem to mind ;)   

I just love all these ladies!  I am so lucky to call them family!  We ate a super yummy lunch and talk and talked and talked! 

The kids had a royal blast in the water! 

Serious fun. 

The played so hard they all needed a 2nd lunch! 

Good thing they had some leftovers from lunch!
Fabulous day!

24 Hour Date

On Friday afternoon I dropped the kids off at Jeremy's parents and then picked up Jeremy from work and we drove to Manti!

The instant we got there we went and saved our spots for the Mormon Miracle Pageant!  

Then we went to go check in to our Bed and Breakfast!  We stayed at the Yardley Inn and Spa.  It was quite the unique experience!  A 80+ year old women and her husband run the place.  It is old, but fancy.  Best customer service ever though.  

We ate some yummy Hamburgers and Ice Cream, and then strolled the main street until it was time for the Pageant to begin!  I hadn't been to the pageant in like 10 years and Jeremy had never been.  We both loved it, and had a great time!

The next morning the sweet lady cooked us and the other guests Carrot Cake Waffles, Herb and Cheese Eggs, Bacon, and fruit.  It was super yummy and kinda fun to sit and eat with the other guests.  

We said goodbye to the Yardley Inn and headed to this beautiful place. 

I've never been inside the Manti temple.  We were able to do a session which was so super awesome.  What a cool temple!!  I want to go back for sure! 

 Then we drove back to pick up our kiddos, and took Jeremy's parents and the kids to Winder Dairy for some Ice Cream!  It was fun for Jeremy to show the kids where he used to work!
Thank you so much Paul and Darla for watching the kids so that we could have such an awesome 24 hour date!  The kids had a fabulous time!  

Strawberry Days

Last week was our town's Strawberry Days!  We had tons of fun, and I think I am still recovering!!

Wednesday we decorated the kids bikes and rode in the Children's Parade! 

They both LOVED it and were excited to get their Popsicle and free carnival ride ticket! 

So we went and did their ONE free ride! 

Then we headed straight to the rodeo!  Jeremy had a meeting, but our friend the Long's were nice enough to let us hang out with them!! 

We were there for 4+ hours and the kids and I loved every minute of it!  So much fun! 

On Thursday was our 39th Annual Strawberry Days Block Party!  Hadley had a special dress for the occasion!  (Yes, she insisted she wear her Nike's with her dress!)

We ate yummy food, and dance dance danced! 

We played a water balloon game

and dance danced some more!   We all had a royal blast!

Friday we headed out early to Huck Finn Days!   

The kiddos had their faces painted 

played lots of games 

 

and just had the time of their lives.  I just love strawberry days!  So. Much. Fun! 

Fathers Day

I think I felt every emotion possible on Father's Day.  We started the day with a French Toast Breakfast (Jeremy's favorite) and then we got ready for church!

 In Sacrament meeting I was released as Primary President.  It was a lot harder on me then I would have ever thought it would be.  I cried.  I cried a lot.  Although it was the hardest calling I have ever had, and took a lot of my time... it was the best calling I have ever had.  I learned so much, and worked with some of the most amazing people in the 2 1/2 years I served.  Most of all, I really grew to love all the kids in primary like they were my own.  Finding out I was being released, I felt like someone was stealing my children!  The Lord has helped me see that this was the right thing, at the right time, and for that I am grateful.  I will forever treasure all the memories and lessons learned in the past 2 1/2 years.    


Not only did they release me, but they asked me to speak.  To say I was an emotional wreck is probably an understatement... but I made it through it.   

After church we came home and celebrated our Jeremy!! 

Jeremy is an amazing Father and we are SO LUCKY to have him!!

Then we headed out and visited Jeremy's Dad.  Sadly, no pictures.
-

Then we went and had dinner at my parents and was able to celebrate my Dad. 

I really do have the best Dad in the world.  Hands down.   

Live Long and Prosper!

It was a crazy day.
