Happy Father's Day...

Happy Father's Day Dad & Dad!! You truly bring a light into our lives :) And we are happy to call you our Dad! Thanks for everything!!!

A Visit from Friends...

Brittany and I met at Massage Therapy school and quickly became real close :) We were both dating guys we totally knew we would marry (which we did) and were just enjoying the life. Well 4 years later, I'm glad to say that we have still stayed close even though they have lived in California for last three years. They have the cutest little boy Carson & it was soo much fun seeing them. And since 99.9% of our friends have kids, Mike & I always find ourselves doing more "family" like activies when we hang with friends & this time was no different. We went to the Museum of Ancient Life at Thanksgiving Point so Carson could be awed at all the neat Dinosour skeletons, but I would have to admit we were the real kids there. Here are some pics of the Highlights (or atleast some of the pics we took before my camera died)

This was too cute!! Mylo's not use to having someone to play with his own size :)

I just thought this was cool

Mike begged me to take a picture w/ him in the cave! Ok, the truth is I pulled him in but look at how cute he looks :)

Brittany & I made this 2 headed 2 tailed dinosour - We called it "PurLowe" (I think Carson was pretty impressed)

Brittany, Carson, Chad (sorry I had no pics of you chad) Thanks for visiting!!

Come back Real Soon!!

Nauvoo 103 Reunion

I was Sooo Lucky to get some awesome roommates my first year of college at BYU-Idaho. I mean I had great room mates later as well, but not like these girls! I mean it is 7 years later and we still Love to keep in touch. This past weekend we had a barbeque and we were all able to make it but 2 girls (we missed ya Shami & Jenn) but next time we will all be there! Well Lexie, Carolee, & Sarah I Love that I was able to live with you that year and I will always cherish those memories!

Memorial Weekend Fun

Memorial Weekend was alot of fun! We went to St. George to visit with the fam. The weekend included LOTS of pictures, a birthday extravaganza for Dad, a Baby Blessing for my cousin's baby Olivia, a fun swim at the rec center which included some basketball & rock climbing and Lots of Yummy food! I think that pretty much covered it but all in all we had a really great time. Below are some pics of the highlights :)

This is mom cooking up a storm in her new apron we gave her for Mother's Day. They are called Flirty Aprons and Sooo much cuter than the usual aprons you see. And I just thought the other picture was really cute of my Mom and Mylo

We tested my "Smile" feature on my camera on my adorable little neice Paige.

Looks like it worked :)

Amber and I had a lot of fun taking pictures! Now there has always been the question as to who is the evil sister...Well, I think the picture on the right answers this question...haha!

Mike and I giving my dad his Birthday Present (as you can tell Mike LOVES to take pictures and he is always eager to pose for one...NOT!). Yes, that would be a picture of my butt print on the right...well atleast my pocket. So if the question ever were to raise if I had a big butt...well this would have to answer it! (I don't even know why I am even posting this, but i have to admit it was pretty funny...at least funny enough to take a picture)

This is Mike rock climbing at the Rec Center (dang he's good) & us after playing Basketball. I am choosing not to post pics of us swimming because I would have to admit...They aren't too pretty :)

I hope you can tell we had a really great time!!

Another Year Older...

Happy Birthday To You!!

Happy Birthday To You!!

Happy Birthday Dear Old Daaaddd

Happy Birthday To You!!

Wow 54 years!! Although you are getting old...er & can be a little scary at times (refer to above picture) I still Love ya! You are a great Dad and I wish you the Best on your Special Day! Thanks for all the laughs and fun you have provided in my life. I have many crazy memories of you. Some filled with you embarrassing me or almost losing my lunch from laughing so hard as you wobbled up and down the hallway & through the doors (you know what I'm talking about) You definately added some spice into my life!

Love You & Have a Great Birthday!!

New Job Update...

As many of you know I started a new job 3 weeks ago & I have yet to tell you how it's going. Well, it is definately different then what I have done before but I am enjoying it. I will refrain from going into detail as to what it is I do exactly, because it is kindof hard to explain and it always comes out sounding like I work at a call center, but to sum it up I am pretty much a personal assistant for HP Specialist located out of Arizona & New Mexico for the company Hewlett Packard even though I am employed by a company called Marketstar. Yes, I realize that doesn't really tell you much but I am enjoying it and I love being home by 4:30 and missing all of the traffic!! The people at work with are really laid back and our managers do alot to help us keep that "Team" mentality. Like last Friday we took a long lunch and played Softball (which my team lost) but it was alot of fun & I got some definate lines on my arms from the sun :) And this Wednesday we are going to do some more team building events. Well, I know this post isn't very exciting and there are no pics but I just wanted to keep you updated.

Happy Mother's Day

Where would we be without Mother's?? Hmmm...Well, one things for sure we wouldn't be here! But Mother's are more than just a passage to this world. They truly are the reason for everything!! And because of my Mother and all the other Mother's, it gets me so excited to be a mother myself someday! Well Mom we Love you very much!! Words can not express our gratitude for everything you have given us! We are truly indebt to you! But know how much we love you!! Happy Mother's Day & Happy Mother's Day to all of you!! (I know there are alot of people that may read this that are Mothers or soon to be Mothers as well!!)

Here is a cute poem I found that I would like to dedicate to

Both of our Mothers

"Happy Mother's Day" means more

Than have a happy day.

Within those words lie lots of things

We never get to say.

It means I love you first of all,

Then thanks for all you do.

It means you mean a lot to me,

And that I honor you.

But most of all, I guess it means

That I am thinking of

Your happiness on this, your day,

With pleasure and with love.

Congrats Angie & Dave...

Mike's sister Angie got married last Friday!! She married a guy that I think will fit right into the family :) The only drawback is he is like 10 ft tall (really 6 ft 7 inches...the picture does not give him justice) so now I really am the Shorty of the family!! Anyways, they were married in the Logan temple and the Sealer gave them some WONDERFUL advice (I always Love going to temple weddings because I don't remember AT ALL what was said during our sealing so I just take their advice as if it was given to me) and now they are honeymooning in San Diego. Here are some random pics of that eventful day!! Again Congratulations!!!

The Wedding Cake...ABSOLUTELY AMAZING

(His Grandmother Made It)

Our Jobs

Mike...Camera Man - Me...Refreshment Table Watcher

Wait a Minute!! Is Mike w/ Me or he is the one getting married...haha!!

May you remember this day for the rest of your life!! Good Luck will all the challenges and wonderful blessings that await for you!! Remember Lots of Compromises...Communication...And Hugs & Kisses!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMBER!!

I just wanted to wish my little sis', Amber, a Happy Birthday!!! Wow, I can't believe that she is finally 22 - considering she got married when she was a youngin (18) - haha! Well, I would like to do my sisterly duty and tell you some embarrassing facts about her on her special day. Well, first off did you know anyone that could fart and burp at the same time?? Well, now you do because Amber mastered that trait years ago :) I can still see the look on her face when she realized what had happened...it was probably one of the funniest moments of my life:) And no one can tease Amber more than she can tease herself :) It's true!! You could tease Amber with something then she would take it and run with it and continue teasing herself until you reminded her that she was talking about herself. It's actually quite funny!!

Ok, with all jokes aside Amber has really become one of my Best Friends!! We talk all the time and I have to make sure I don't tell her everything before I tell my mom :) She has become such a wonderful Mother to Paige and a Great Wife. I'm so lucky to have her as my sister because that way I know we will be friends for life :)

Happy Birthday Amber!!!
