Another Week in the Books.

What a crazy week we've had, once again. This past week was crazy. I worked on Tuesday and Thursday, BreeAnn & T. got married, we went to the zoo, to a BBQ near Strawberry and to Park City overnight!! All in one week.
BreeAnn & T.'s wedding was gorgeous. We are so happy for them and wish them all the happiness in the world. The ceremony was beautiful and the reception went without any major mishaps.
Our week had a sad ending though. As we were driving home from my mom's house on Sunday evening we were one of the first cars on the scene of a horrible roll over accident. One woman lost her life and the other passenger and the driver of the vehicle were both taken by ambulance. Jamison had to call 911 and stay at the scene of the accident to fill out reports and talk to the officers. Alcohol was involved and none of them were wearing seat belts. It really makes you appreciate life and respect the fact it can be taken away so quickly. I'm so thankful that our family was not involved in the accident, as we very likely could have been because the truck involved had just passed by us a few minutes before it happened.
Well enough seriousness. Here are a few of my favorite pictures from the past week, I didn't take many at the wedding though.

Summer Time Fun

It's been a pretty good week around here. We mostly hung around at home during the week besides running a few errands here and there.

On Thursday night we took Ryann, Austyn and our niece Madysen to the Utah County Fair. The girls had a good time on the rides. We all had fun or in Madysen's words "It was a great night." Here are a few pictures of Ryann and Madysen. Poor Austyn doesn't seem to make it into to many pictures these days.


On Friday night we went to the fair again with just our family. Ryann had a good time watching the rodeo and eating cotton candy. Here are some pictures of her and Austyn at the rodeo.


Yesterday was a pretty busy day. We had BreeAnn & T's wedding rehearsal in the morning and then we went to lunch at T's parent house. I can't beleive my little sister is getting married. I am so happy for them and wish them the best of luck. I didn't take any pictures at the rehearsal but I took a few of the girls at home before we left.


Here are a few pictures of Austyn in the little red rocking chair at grandma's house. She thought it was pretty funny and would laugh everytime Jamison would set her in it. She is growing so fast!! I cant believe she will be four months next week.

Then last night we went to my cousin McKay's wedding, which was beautiful. It was at his new wife's parents house in their gorgeous backyard. Ryann had a blast playing and dancing with all the kids. Ryann, Macyn and Austyn wore their lemon dresses that we've wanting to get their pictures in all summer. I tried to take a few but the sun was in Austyn's eyes. Oh well.

Nothing to0 exciting here this week.

A little about me and waiting for my boyfriend

Well not much going on this week except for work stuff. We have no plans for this weekend which is nice. I'm sure we'll think of something to keep us busy.

Jamison is at board meeting tonight and as I was putting Ryann to bed she informed me I couldn't go to bed without my boyfriend. I asked her who my boyfriend is and she looks at me like I'm stupid and says "daddy". I then asked her who her boyfriend is and she gets the same look on her face and says "my daddy". Little kids say the cutest things. So that is what I'm doing right now, waiting for my boyfriend to come home.

Our Crazy Week.


We had a fun filled week this past week. Monday-Wednesday we stayed home and tried to get things caught up from our camping trip.

On Thursday we went to see Amie and Brody who are visiting from Arizona. Macyn, Ryann and Brody all had fun together. Brody is the funniest little kid ever.

On Friday I took Ryann to a swim party at my friend Jacey's mom's house. She had fun playing in the water. It was hot but the kids kept cool with watermelon and cotton candy, which is a very sticky combination.

Friday night we took Amie and Brody to the rodeo in Santaquin. The kids had a good time running around on the grass and watching the clown.

We celebrated our six year anniversary this weekend. We took the horses and went up the canyon for a horse ride and stayed over night in the horse trailer. It's hard to believe we have been married for six years. I am so lucky to have Jamison in my life. He is the best husband and father anyone could ask for.

Here are six of my favorite memories from these past six years:

  • our wedding day
  • the births of our daughters
  • building and moving into our home
  • our honeymoon
  • our trip to New Mexico
  • watching Jamison turn into the wonderful father that he is.

It was a busy week and this week looks just as busy. I am going to take Austyn tonight for her 3 month pictures and will try and post them later tonight.

Our Vacation


We just got back on Sunday from a ten day camping/cabin trip. It was so nice to get out of the heat and into the mountains for the week. I wish we were still there especially sice Austyn slept so much better in the mountains. It must have been the altitude or something but she would sleep for twelve hours at night and take 3 or 4 naps during the day.

We spent the first weekend camping with our neighbors and their cute daughter Cassidy. Ryann had a blast playing with her and was so sad when she went home that she made up an imaginary friend. "Angie" was with us clear until the next weekend. On Sunday the 21st we packed up the trailer and drove to the cabin. Me and Jordan decided to drive the four wheelers clear from our camp site to the cabin and got caught in a hail storm. We were soaked by the time we got there!! We spent our time at the cabin relaxing and fishing.

The flowers were beautiful.


My mom and neice Macyn came up on Tuesday evening and spent the night with us.
While they were there Ryann went into her Wizard of Oz mode and started calling my mom Aunty Emm and Belle Toto. She still calls Belle Toto. My mom took her for a walk and they "followed the yellow brick road". She has quite the imagination.


On Wednesday we went home and went to the Spanish Fork rodeo Wendesday night.


Then on the 24th we went to the parade out to lunch with Jamison's family and then headed back up to the cabin.

Jamison's family also spent most of the weekend at the cabin and the kids had fun playing together. Grandpa Bill and Uncle Steve put up a horse swing and the kids named it Pony Tail and had a blast swinging.

It was a great week and hopefully we can do it again over Labor Day.
