4th of July Week...

We spent the 4th of July up Blacksmith Fork. It was a perfect weekend.. the only thing missing was Jake and Jordan. Jake went camping up Logan with his friends and Jordan went to Bear Lake with hers. Bridger loved having all of our attention on him. We spent most of the time on our ATVs.



We stopped at this old mine.. it is called mineral point. They use to mine silver and iron. It was so cool, but I couldn't talk myself into going in... I just looked for treasures outside.

It was sooo HOT! So the kids were excited to run into a pond... literally!!!

On the way back to camp, Bret had a relapse into his younger years and tried to burn out as we turned into our campsite... We ended up rolling our atv and I ended up smacking my shoulder on the pavement. Everything turned out ok.. I tore my rotater cuff, got some great road rash and had a little panic attack. Bret feels so bad and has been at my beck and call ever since ;)

PS.. Bret said we wouldn't have rolled if my pocket hadn't been full of rocks that I picked up at the mine.. oops!

GrAdUaTiOn 2008

We had a little family dinner party before the
graduation ceremony. It was fun to have our
parents here. They are always so good to
support us!

WOW!! I can't believe that my baby Jake is graduated! It seems like yesterday I held a brand new baby boy in my arms. He was the light of his mommy and daddys eyes! Jake has always had such a cute personality. He is the most tender heart and seems a little shy at times. I love to hear him laugh.. it is so contagious! Sometimes I will be upstairs and hear his laugh and I have to giggle. Bret and I are so PROUD of him and feel so blessed to have him for our son.

Jake: Shoot for the moon, cuz even if you miss you will land in the stars!!
WE LOVE YOU!!

PROM

Jordan went to Prom with her boyfriend Taylor. She got ready at Aunt Jennys house because they went to a prom in Clearfield. I was so sad that I wasn't there, but Jenny took good care of her and of course took some great pictures. They had so much fun..

Our New Kitchen...

We tiled the kitchen and dining room,
and got new appliances. I love everything
except the fingerprints.. ha ha

Spring brings changes...

Okay... So I have gotten a lot of crap for not keeping up on my blog.. ;) So.. I am going to try really hard to keep it up.
April has been a crazy but great month.. I sold my Salon and the new owners took over the first of April. This was a good move for me, but very emotional. My main concern was my friends that I work with and hoped everyone would be okay with everything. Luckily it all went over smoothly and I am now enjoying my days off by working on the house and spending more time with my family...I LOVE IT! I work two days a week and cherish the time I still have with all my friends at work.
