Reflecting....

As of yesterday I'm in my late 20's....28 to be exact. It's weird because I don't feel like I should be this old yet. I've been getting emails about my 10 year HS reunion. Already? What? I forget sometimes that I 'm not 21 and carefree anymore.

I have one of these:

And one of these:

And this:

Some days I have to remind myself that I'm married, for almost 5 years now and I am about to be a mother of two. And I have a mortgage and an SUV and all this responsibility. (a little country lyrics for ya...but all true) And I'm not a carefree 21/22 year old anymore. As fun as those days were I wouldn't trade what I have now for anything!

This is the best.... right here.

Happy 28 years to me!

Baby Brother....


(rachel, move your head)

My brother Jordan got married last Friday in the Idaho Falls Temple. It was so nice and we are so proud of them for choosing to be married in the Temple. It's always so special to witness a Temple marriage and the blessings that come with doing so. Megan is such a sweet girl and she looked absolutely beautiful on her day. Because we all know that it's all about the bride! Jordy looked handsome as always too! They make a great couple.

Congrats Jordan and Megan!!



To our favorite man....

Happy Father's Day!!!

Bella loves her daddy. She looks forward to him coming home everyday. She runs to the back door to greet him and then runs to hide under a blanket so he can find her. She wants him to read her books every night. It's really cute it's just kinda their time together. To rock and read before bed. On the weekends she's usually his little shadow. He'll leave the room and she'll call after him "daddy, come back". She loves to be where he is.

We love you honey! Thanks for taking such good care of us!

And to all the other Father's in our life we hope you had a very happy Father's Day! We got to spend the weekend in Idaho so we were with my Dad on Father's day this year which was really nice. Thanks to both our Father's for all they have taught us and continue to teach us. And for always being there for us and willing to help us out with anything. We love you both so much!!

Golfing...

Eric took me golfing last Tuesday. We went with his brother and his friend. I didn't actually golf. I would just hit some balls every now and then when I wanted too. I was mostly along for the ride and to drive the cart! It was just fun to be there with him and see him really "play". I've hit a bucket of balls with him a few times but haven't actually been golfing with him. So it was fun to be able to watch him do something he really enjoys. He tried to teach me a few things while we were out but I'm pretty much a lost cause in the sports department. I'm not coordinated and I'm not athletic. Let's hope our kids get his genes in that area.

Eric- taking his first swing and setting up his ball for a good putt.

I might not be good but I sure look like a pro!

Austin- he too is really good.

Marcy- now, she was good but she's really athletic so she was a natural.

And Bella practiced her batting skills at Grandma and Grandpa's.

STAY-CATION 2010

This past week we did what's become our annual "Stay-cation". We had a really fun week. I swear we were up and going early every single day and we went all day. We were wore out but we had a lot of fun doing things we don't normally do.


Tuesday: We got up and went to my Dr. appointment. The baby's heart beat is still strong and I"m measuring right on track so that's great. And my Bladder infection that I had last week was starting to clear up. Yay! I had him look at Bella too since she started another fever on Monday. Just 3 weeks after her last one. Poor thing. He said everything looked good though. We can't figure out what's wrong with her. I feel so bad for us. That afternoon we took Bella to see Shrek. It was a cute show and not too long which was nice. After that we headed the the Pizza Factory for dinner.

Wednesday: We went to Market Street Grill for brunch. It's awesome. The Eggs Benedict there are delicious! After that we took Bella to the Gateway Discovery kids Museum. It was so fun she had a great time playing with everything that was just her size.

Playing checker at the little grocery store.

Doing a little rock climbing. That lasted about a second.

Here she was putting on a show for us on the little stage they had. She was so funny and so cute. Quiet the little performer!


Thursday: We headed up to Park City. We wen to the Outlet mall, I haven't been there in years. We found a few things. My favorite find were matching shirts for my two little girls! Can't wait! After that we had lunch at a really yummy Mexican joint. And then we headed over to the Alpine slide. That was really fun. There were little rides for Bella so she loved it and she even loved the alpine slide. This was my favorite day!

Trying on shoes at one of the outlet stores.

On our way up to the Alpine slide. I forget how scary these lifts are. They are so slow mo I sweat it took a half hour just to get up there. But the view was pretty.

Getting ready to go down. She wasn't even scared. And they got to the bottom way faster than I did. The guy behind me almost ran into me. That's how slow I went. I'm not a thrill seeker. I guess that's where Bella gets her cautiousness from.

Love her straight face. Can't tell if she hates it or if she's terrified but she said she loved it. So funny!

Riding the carousel. Same straight face as above. She really did love it though! We had to do it several times.

BoldHad to stop and have ice cream before we left. It was really good too!


Friday: we went to the Legacy Center for swimming. Bella of course loved it and is asking me at this very second if we can go swimming...maybe tomorrow. Afterward we went to Cafe Rio for dinner.

Going down the slide....she loved it!

Wahoo!

Little water baby. She was getting so comfortable in the water.

Saturday: was Eric's work party which was a BBQ and a Bee's game. So that was a perfect way to end our little vacation. It was a lot of fun. When we told Bella we were going to a baseball game she thought it was her game and that she would be playing. She kept asking us when she was going to hit. Ha ha!

Getting ready for the game to start.

Slurpee mouth

The Bee didn't even get close to us but Bella was not a fan. She said "go home to you mommy bee". Ha ha!
She had to have a little souvenir....and a pink bat it was.


Another successful stay-cation!!
