Update...

Just another update... Last week we were on our way to Silver Lake with Megan and Adam, and our car broke down. We had to fix the radiator cap thingy which was $70, and then to get our car to pass safety which had to be renewed again, we had to pay $250 to fix the pipes and resonator on the muffler. And we finally got our AC working on the Mazda. It was $100, but it sure is worth it! And it was cheaper than we thought it would be. So we have had to put quite a lot of money into the Mazda in the last two weeks. So today was Andy's day off so we went to Silver Lake with Megan and Adam. It was a lot of fun. We first went to Silver Lake Lodge for lunch which was pretty good food. We then went to Silver Lake, and walked around the boardwalk. Jackson did great, he walked more than half of the way on his own. Although we got this monkey backpack thing that also has a leash on it. He seems to like it a lot. We then took the Guardsman Pass over to Park City, and went to the outlets. Megan and I both got flag shirts from Old Navy. And like always, we went to Harry and David to get chocolate pretzels! YUM!!! We have some pictures from today, but I will have to upload them a little later. Jackson is sure showing his personality now! He is so cute! He says a bunch of different random things, but we think he doesn't know the meaning yet. Today on our way up to Silver Lake we were listening to Shania Twain music, and he started to shake his head and dance in his seat. It was so cute! I have also been scrapbooking lately, here are a few of the layouts I have done... Sorry if the scan didn't come out so well...




















I will post the pictures from today a little bit later... Thanks for looking!!!!!

The Weekend

We started out the weekend by Friday Night going to dinner for Fathers Day for Andy. We went to GoodWood Barbeque Company in Draper. Andy loved it, it is his favorite place to go to now for ribs. On Saturday we went to get massages at the college. That night we went to a concert party of Andy's dad's band called "This Side Up." They were great! We had to leave early though, because Megan and Adam were coming home from their trip from California and their car broke down in Elko, Nevada and we had to go pick them up. We left at about 8:30 pm and got to them in Elko at 11:30. Andy wanted to look at their car for a little bit. And then with all the stops we had to make, getting gas and food, we didn't get home until 5:30 the next morning. We were all so tired, and we all didn't get much sleep after we got home. On Fathers Day we saw both families, but we were still so tired that we didn't stay long. We had a barbeque last night at my brother's house. Last week Hailey had a cyst on the back of her head, and it got infected so she had to have surgery and was in the hospital for a couple of days. Jeff is coming home from Iraq sometime this next week, so we are all excited about that! We will all be busy cleaning up this week because Adam's parents are coming in town over the weekend. I will update again soon...

Update

Well, I should have updated sooner. We went to the ranch in Coalville on Memorial Day Weekend. We had tons of fun. The weather was crazy. It was nice weather at one point, and then the next it was stormy. But like I said, we had a lot of fun anyway. We left early on Sunday night because my Grandma had passed away. We, as a family, decided it wasn't the right time to have a funeral. Andy got the week off due to her passing. We went to the temple that Tuesday. I love going there. We really should go more often though. We went to Jessica's graduation Wednesday night. Melanie and Wes changed their wedding date from July 26th, to a week before on July 19th. Andy just finished their wedding invitations, and they look great. He is also working on a video slideshow to play at their reception. Jackson is getting to be such a cute toddler. He is still running, as fast a he can go, and now he is beginning to climb stairs! It is pretty scary! He is also still teething a lot, and we have found quite a few more teeth, two of which are molers. We feel so bad for him, because he has to go through all the pain of the teething. We have so much fun with him, and he makes our lives so much better! Here are some pictures from the ranch...








In case you're wondering the very first picture is from when our car got stuck in the mud, and Adam had to get it out with the four-wheeler. Well, that was a very nerve-racking experience! And the last picture: a beaver that came close to the cabin.

Thanks for looking! :)
