12th Anniversary

Last Saturday was our 12th Anniversary. We went to the Salt Lake Temple and did sealings. We were married in the Salt Lake Temple so it was fun to go back. We were sitting waiting for a sealer and we were talking to girl who recently returned from a mission. We told her it was our anniversary. She said, "Oh is it your 1st?" I looked at her and said, "No it is our 12th." She just about died. She thought we had been married maybe 2 years at the most. Then I told her, Ya we have 3 kids. It was so funny to see someone in  complete shock. She really couldn't believe we were old enough to be married that long.

I sometimes can not believe we have been married that long either. But I couldn't have found a better man. Ryan is so great. He is so cute, funny, and perfect for me. He is the best father. He honors his priesthood, and loves the gospel. He is my Best Friend!!!

Jack turned 6!!!!

Yay!!! Jack finally got a hair cut. I finally talked him and his dad into it. I love his hair short.

Jack also had a birthday on August 5th. I can't believe he is already 6 years old. Jack is such a sweet, loving kid. When he was 2 I was about ready to pull my hair out. But that quickly changed and he is so sweet and just a really good boy. He is such a cutie, I love his eyes they suck you right in.  

On Jack's birthday my mom and Grandma June were up staying at my house. That day we met my brother David at the zoo, he was in town from California. After the zoo we went and ate lunch at the Huntsman Cancer Institute, there is a Cafeteria up there and you can see the whole valley while you eat. Then we just drove around downtown and took grandma on a tour of the Avenues and some other fun areas.

Later that night we had some friends over for cake and ice cream.

24th of July!!!!

On the 24th of July Ryan took the boys on a hike up Bells Canyon.

Sam couldn't believe that he could see downtown from Sandy so good.

Later that day we went down to Lehi and went swimming with our friends the Finlinson's.

Then we went to the Finlinson's house for a bbq and fireworks.

We played an Oreo game. You have to start out with an Oreo

 in your eye and who ever gets it in their mouth first with out touching it wins.

Flaming Gorge

A couple of weeks ago we went to Flaming Gorge again with our friends the Williams. It was a really short trip only two days, but we had a great time. We ate and ate and ate. We had a great time we rode the tube, the wakeboards,  the airchair, water skied, rode the Razor, and 4 wheelers.

My four cute boys.

Ryan and Will. Poor Will had goopy yucky eyes the whole trip.

Will was out numbered. Will, Sage, Ruthy, and Olivia.

Jack acting like his Uncle Ashton again.

The last night we were there we were all out talking and this mouse kept coming out over by us. Next thing we know Justin is gone and comes back with his BB gun, then off goes Ryan to get his. Brian asked Justin don't you have another one. So Justin, Ryan, and Brian all had BB guns and Travis was on flashlight duty. They ended up getting the Gross Little Thing.

Brian, Travis, Justin, and Ryan the mighty hunters.
