Baby Graham

Baby Graham was blessed on July 4, 2010. What a great day it was! It was so great to be together as a family and see this baby receive a name and a blessing. It was amazing to see how big the circle was. How great is it that every priesthood holder in our family was worthy of being in that circle. I am so grateful for our amazing family, and for the love that we have for each other.

Lindsey's Birthday Party

So for Lindsey's birthday we decided to go up the canyon with a group of people and have a fire and just hang out. It was a lot of fun! Not a lot of people came, but it was still a blast!! We crossed the river, fell in the river, played some frisbee, had cake and ice cream, and had a fire. It was a blast!! It was a good start to our summer. I am so grateful to have a friend like Lindsey that it doesn't matter where we are we can always have a good time!!

So Chaz had this bright idea to go and cross these logs in the river. Let's just say that me and Linds do no have the best balance. I bet you can guess who fell in.....
Yup that would be me!! I was soaked!!

Linds crossing the Logs!

Weekend

So I am very sad to say that I had quite the eventful weekend but I didn't take any pictures. I am trying really hard to keep up with my blog though so that I can keep some what of a journal so I decided to just write about it.

Thursday Night: My ear has been killing me the past week and I couldn't seem to figure out what was going on. Well working with a bunch of doctors does have it's benefits. Dr. Ollerton checked out my ear and discovered a lovely ear infection. So he prescribed me some anti-biotics and I was good to go!

Friday: Our ward was having a Camp out up at Fairview. Seeing that I have a lovely ear infection I only went up for the day. My dad, Linds, Easton, Jessica, and me all drove up around noonish. We got there and hung out at the camp site and then ended up to the Manti Pageant. I forgot how much I loved the pagant. It was so great to go and see the Book of Mormon come to life, to feel of the spirit, and to be with the members of our ward.

Saturday: I went on a date with my buddy Gregg. He is a good friend from High School who just recently returned from his mission in Japan. We went to Cafe Rio, to the Lehi rodeo, and then to get some Ice-Cream. It was a blast. I love going to the rodeo, getting all dressed up, and feeling like a cowgirl. Me and Gregg had a really good time catching up on the past two years, and talking about the crazy things we used to do in high school.

So that is my wonderful weekend!! Sorry there is no pictures!!

Taylor Car Wash

I was coming home the other day from teaching piano and the cute Taylor kids were washing there dads car. So I asked them if I was next and they got so excited and said to come on over. So I went over and helped them wash my car. They said that they are going to start there own car wash business and only charge a dollar per wash. Kim said well you will get your money's worth then. They are such cute kids who I adore.

Cute little Court washing my car. The poor kid has had a cast on since the beginning of the summer! Luckily he will get it off soon. He is my favorite little boy. I hope to have one just like him. I have to tell a funny story about Court. I guess he had this girl in his class who he really liked and she told him one day that she wouldn't marry him. Court was hysterical. He could not stop crying because he was so sad. So later that day I told court that I would marry him and he said, " No way you are way to old". It was pretty cute!

I am so grateful for great neighbors like the Taylors who we can depend on. They are so great and would do anything for us. They bring so much joy into my life.

Jensen's First Time Behind the Wheel

Poor kid needs to grow a little bit. He could barely see over the steering wheel.

So the other day J was so bored and driving my mother crazy so I decided to teach him how to drive. I have never been so scared in my life. When he first got in the car he couldn't even see over the steering wheel. Luckily we could adjust the seat A LOT! He then put both feet on the pedals. It made me laugh because that is the exact same thing that I did when I first learned how to drive. I let him drive around the block and after almost having a heart attack I decided we needed to head over to the church parking lot. He actually did pretty well. Luckily he still has two years to practice.
