Founder's Day!!!

The kids were so excited to be living in Utah to celebrate Pleasant View's Founders Day!!! We had such a fun day watching the parade and playing with cousins. Aimee and Josh came up and went to the parade with us and then came back to the house to play in the water. The kids wanted to walk down so, they took off with Aimee to walk down the hill to the parade, so much fun!!!

Take Me Out To The Ball Game!!!

The kids were so excited we got to go to The Raptors baseball game....we had so much fun!! Their favorite part was singing in the seventh inning......."Take Me Out To The Ball Game". We sing that song all the time and to see why, was very exciting!!!

The BEST visit EVER!!!!

After 2 weeks of trying to get unpacked and moved in, we found out that Dad and Mom were coming home for the weekend for a family funeral. My Dad's Aunt Jean died, such an incredible lady..an inspiration to many. 

Dad was asked to speak at the funeral, after many prayers and conversation with their mission President, they decided to come home to the funeral. Fred, now living in California was able to meet them in Barstow and come up as well.....

After getting through the emotions of them coming home to THEIR home that we had torn apart moving in...we got everything ready. It really helped me unpack and organize FAST!!!

They arrived on Thursday evening and left at 4 in the morning on Sunday!!! Friday was a fun, relaxing day. After lunch with Mike.  Mom, Britt and I went to get some flowers. All Mom wanted to do was get dirty. She needed to PLANT..after 3 flats of flowers that were picked out....we headed home to garden. Mom was seriously like a little girl on Christmas morning..all giggles and smiles. She made the gardens beautiful for me....:0)

Saturday was a fun day with family and celebrating Aunt Jean. Dad did an amazing job speaking. We had a fun lunch after and headed home. That night we got together as a family, played cards and enjoyed every minute with our missionaries.

Dad, Mom and Fred got up early Sunday morning and headed home. Such an AMAZING weekend full of FAMILY, my favorite!!!

With the amount of family coming to see them..we had people sleeping on the tramp, Michelle, Chuy and Fred were sleeping under the stars on the ground..it was so fun!!!!

A fun family walk....

Flag Day!!!

Soon after we moved to Utah it was Flag Day. When we woke  up there was a flag in our yard...Joslyn was soooooooooo excited, she went flying out the door in her pajamas to see it. She spent most the morning out there watching it blow in the breeze....

Here are my 2 kids that are joined at the hip...they love playing with each other and are complete goof balls....

She Needs To BMX!!!!

After we had move to Utah, Rylee needed to check out the BMX tracks. We took off and went to South Jordan to see there track. It was REALLY nice track. She had a blast and made some fun new BMX friends.
