SuPriSe ViSiT

I got the best SUPRISE ever. My brother Luke and my sister in law Elyna and their kids came to visit me in Salt Lake! We had so much FUN!!! First we went to Primary Children's because the kids wanted to see where I work. They loved the Spider Man. Then we went to Temple Square and walked around. The kids really loved pushing the buttons for the different videos in the Visitors Center. After that we headed to Gateway and of course we went to Build a Bear. Then the kids played in the water to cool off. Thanks guys for coming to visit me, it really made my day. I love you all so much!!

GrEaT FriEnDs

I came home from work this morning to find a clue on my bedroom door to send me on a "Quest" throughout my house. This is what I found. Flowers and Chubby Hubby (my favorite). My Amazing friends decided to do this for me because I have been having a hard time lately. This meant so much to me. I am so grateful for the many wonderful friends that I have. I don't know what I would do without them:)

Hibiscus

I bought this Hibiscus plant at the beginning of summer and I can't beleive how well it is doing. I had to post a picture because I think it is beautiful.

LoGaN PoOL

Notice Savanna's Build a Bear in its swimming suit!

Rylie and Brynlie just finished up their swimming lessons for the summer, so we decided to go to the Logan pool so they could show us what they had learned. My mom and I took Jaden and Savanna with us and Jenny met us there with Rylie and Brynlie. Megan, Tami, Peggy and Leslie also came later. It was so much fun! I can't believe what water dogs my nieces and nephews are. They are getting so brave in the water.

The Famous Preston Night Rodeo

Some of my Friends came up Friday Night for the Rodeo. We watched the parade and then went to the Rodeo. To say the least it was quite the experience for some of my friends that had never been to a Rodeo before and they couldn't believe the small town atmosphere. We all had a lot of fun. We also went and spent the night at my parents pond under the stars. We didn't sleep much, but we sure had fun just sitting around the fire and talking. My friend Chris who is the one in the Scrubs in the raft exploring the pond introduced me to roasted Star Bursts, they were delicious!

PaRade

I was able to watch the parade all three nights with all of my nieces and nephews which was a blast. They all got tons of Candy. Since I was able to be home for over a week I decided to take my hard top and doors off of my Jeep. My brother Jordan helped me. It was so much fun and the kids loved riding in my Jeep, except at times it was a little too windy and cold for the kids. But it sure made me fall in love with my Jeep all over again!

CaRniVal

It was so much fun going to the Carnival with all of my nieces and nephews. My parents bought them each four tickets so they were able to ride four rides. They all had a lot of fun going on the rides together! I love Summer Time and spending it with Family!!!

BaBySiTTing FuN...

When I was home for Rodeo weekend, I was able to babysit Parker and Seth. We had a BLAST. I was even able to talk Seth into walking to Ransom's to get a treat. Sometimes it is difficult to get him to put his DS down.

BiRthDaY FuN!!

Rylie turned 6 on July 28th and Savanna turned 7 on July 30th. The pictures above are of Rylie's birthday party! She had an all girl pool party and had a lot of fun! I got both the girls swimming suits for their build a bears and it also came with a towel, beach ball, and goggles. They were pretty excited about their gift. For Savanna's party we swam down at our pond in the swimming pool. She had a lot of fun because she loves to swim. I love both these girls so much. I can't believe they are growing up so fast.

Kenny Chesney Concert...

I loved the U hat!

Me and my friend Ellie

The Concert was SOOO GOOD! It was kind of a bummer that Sugarland wasn't there though. Funny story about my friend Ellie. She thought that the line "My bodies a temple, thats what I'm told" was actually "My bodies a temple, thats why I'm tall". I laughed so hard when she told me this. She said she thought it was always funny that Kenny sang this because he is so short.

BeArLaKe FuN

Jordan and his family, Elyna and her kids, Chelsey, Megan, my Mom and I all went to Bear Lake the other day. It was a lot of fun. The kids had a blast playing in the water. Bear Lake is a must do for the summer so I am glad that we were able to go!
