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?

Spaghetti...MMMmmm Good!

Busy Busy Busy

I thought I would just share some random pictures of what we have been up to since I last posted. Summer sure has been Busy! (I've included some pictures of my nephews, since lots of you know them.) The past two weekends we have been helping my parents tear down the tree house, and put up a new play set! It was a fun family project, and the kids are loving the new toy!

While the men were busy working, us girls had to keep the 5 boys entertained! (Mason) We tried out the new bubble gun I got on clearance, I highly recommend them! (Logan)

Boston practicing his walking...

We also went to the park! (Peyton, Logan, Jordan, and Mason)

I sure love all of my nephews! (Logan, Mason, and Jordan)

Another event was going to our nephew Caydon's birthday party! Boston enjoyed saying "hi" at least 50 times on his cool new phone with cake all over his face! Jeremy enjoyed playing a little softball with his family

and Boston loved riding around on Tow Mater!

-

We had an awesome Pioneer Day enjoying a parade,amazing fireworks, and family, to bad I forgot the camera! Boston continues to make me laugh, like today when he came crawling in the kitchen with the blanket on his head with a big smile on his face.

We have been really spoiled to spend so much time with our families. It has been a very fun and busy two weeks!

My Big Boy Boston!

I can't believe how big Boston is getting and how much he is talking. His vocabulary includes Ball, That, Book, Thanks, Mama, Dada, Car, Hi... and more!Boston LOVES music. His new thing is to "lead' the music. It doesn't matter if it is on a commercial, in church, or on a toy... he is always caught leading the music!

My favorite thing is that he is already picking up tunes. He is pretty good at singing Old McDonald! Oh how I love being a Mom and watching this little boy learn and grow!

Joseph Smith Movie

Last night I went with my church Young Women group to see the Joseph Smith movie that is currently playing in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. All of us were in tears, it is a very powerful, and emotional movie. Joseph Smith sacrificed a lot to bring the true Church Of Jesus Christ back to the earth. I am so grateful he did. If you haven't seen it, it would be well worth your time to go check it out. We were also able to enjoy walking around temple square! I sure miss working downtown!

After the movie, we went down to gateway to eat dinner and watch the fountains... or play in the fountains!

I love being a Young Women leader!

Happy Independence Day!!

Our holiday started off at 6:30am when we went to see the balloons take off over Provo. My favorites were the smokey the bear, a pig, and a strawberry balloon.
Then we went to the CRAZY packed parade in Provo!

We then played and played at the park with our friends the Bruces, and then enjoyed lighting some fireworks as well! It was yet another super fun day!
I am so grateful to live in America where I can have the freedoms we enjoy here!

More Visitors!

We have been so lucky to have some visitors this month! This past weekend we had the chance to have the worlds best Boston watchers come stay with us! They are my cousins, and I loved having them around! They enjoyed the usual at our house.. the tramp, and the zipline!!
On Sunday we went for a walk around Mount. Timpanogos temple! They asked some good questions while we were there! It made me realize that I need to learn a few more things about the gospel before Boston gets any older!!

Happy 4th of July!!

Baby Shower!!

My friend Kaylin is having a baby boy and we had such a blast making everyone sniff diapers to try to guess what candy bar was smashed inside of it! GREAT game!

If you are looking for a shower idea... we did a Book shower. She pretty much had the necessities for her baby so we decided to center our shower around books, and have everyone bring a book to start her little guys library! I felt like it worked really well! If you want more info let me know.

While I was gone to girls camp...

Boston had the time of his life hanging out with his grandma and cousins Logan and Mason while I was gone to girls camp. He enjoyed companionship in the back seat, a sweat treat, a picnic and a pool party! What a lucky guy!

While Boston was busy playing, Jeremy worked 62 hours in 4 days. Good thing he only does that while I'm gone!
