Vernal

Since we haven't taken a real vacation this year we have been trying to take weekend get a ways here and there so we headed out to Vernal for a few days to just enjoy spending time with the family. This time we didn't have anything big plans or something we had to be at where every minute was planned. We got to just hangout and enjoy family time.
We had a really good time and did a lot of things I have been wanting to do this summer.

We got to visit my Grandma Carrie's grave. She was such a great G-ma and lady. I miss her and think of her often.

• Spent time with grandparents.
• Helped gma and gpa with a few chores around their house. And were so happy to do so.
• Visited Nate, Ashley and Thor (Parx and him became really good friends)
• Saw Megan and Treavor's new place, I'm Not jealous at all:)
• Boating. Where we ALL wake boarded! Even my parents, I was super impressed with them they both got up with in the first couple of tries!
• And I also got a run in with my Dad. I am always left in awe of him after running with him. He says running in Smithfield isn't easy but running in Vernal IS NOT easy you are always coming or going up hill, running on highways were cars just fly by like you're not there, sometimes on dirt roads and he does it like nothing! He keeps a good attitude the whole time and even after 16 miles is still pushing me! Amazing!!  I truly hope someday running will be as easy to me as it is to him.

We really had a great time and wish we could have stayed longer. Parx loved spending time with G-ma and G-pa and playing with his Aunts and Uncles we need to come back soon:)

I promise they were friends

Go Grandpa!

Great job Grandma

Treav was trying to knock Meg off and after he couldnt
he got bored and decied to stand up on the knee board.

Doesn't EVERYONE have a picture like this?? Some may be a little older than others but at some point in our life's a picture like this was taken.

Bear Lake

Dave and I always say we want to go to Bear Lake and then before we know it the summer is over and we didn't make it. So this year I was going to make it happen! We picked a day and went for it, we were also lucky enough some good friends were over there for the weekend so we met up with them and it made a day out of it. Dave and Lance went golfing for the first little bit and then meet up with us later for lunch and some more fun.
Parx just loves Joe and Ezra and it works out perfect that they play so well together. Me and Lindsay even got in on the fun with building the sand castle. We even said we cared more about it then the boys did at the end. They just wanted to throw rocks at it and stomp on it.

Family Pictures

We tried to do family pictures and even tough it was Parx's bed time. Dave's shirt was to small. He came right from work and didnt get "fixed up". I look so tired. And my shirt is a little to big. I think we got a few good ones.
I love these boys more than words can say!!

Family
 is not an
 Important

           thing.

Its Everything

* I cant get the others to up load:(

24th of July

We had a pretty low key 24th this year. Susan had her gall bladder out unexpectedly and was heart broken to miss the fun but the grandkid were so cute and did everything gma had invisioned for them. Then Parx ended up with strep throat. So we did the lawn mower parade the neighbor hood BBQ and called it a night.

The Naked truth.

We have a nudest in this family. He would be naked all the time if we let him.

Swim's naked.

Drive's naked.

Play's/ Slides naked.

And of course mows the lawn naked, is there really any
other way!?!? Only if you have as cute a bum as him.

There is always, always, always something to be thankful for.

I just finished reading a book that I couldn't have read at a better time. I really have a very blessed life and not many trials or major ones at that. But I had just been feeling a little blue about material things. A house, another vehicle, new clothes, things that really aren't important but still nice to have and this book just put me in my place. 
I need to have things put in perspective once in awhile because I mean I am human and cant help to want things! But it cant and wont every go with me so even though I will always "want" things and need things I need to remember whats really important and to always be thankful for the real blessings in my life.

A few quotes I found fitting and funny...
-Money cant buy love but it can buy stuff and I love stuff.
-If you're feeling blue- try painting yourself a different color.

7-11

I love 7-11, Why? Free Slurpee's!! To bad it's only once a year.
