My trip home to SLC

I had such a fun time when I came home to visit this time. It was full of so many fun activities like Sun Valley, Lake Powell, buying a baby crib, FHE at Silver Lake, and a doctor's appointment. Thanks to my mom and dad for taking care of me and to my little sis for sharing her bed and bedroom with me, I know it wasn't easy. I love you all! But as much fun as I have had coming home every month to visit I will be even more happy to come home to Utah for good with my Devin and get back to normal life!!
I had the great opportunity to go to Sun Valley, Idaho with my family. We haven't been there for like 6 years, but we have decided to make it a family trip every summer now. There was so much to do and we all had such a blast riding bikes, swimming, makeing ice cream stops, and having tennis tournaments on the wii. Thanks mom and dad for such a fun vacation. We all look forward to it next year and Devin is excited to join us next year aswell.

In Sun Valley there are all these fun bike/walk trails everywhere. I asked Devin if he would get me a new bike for my birthday this next year so I will have one to ride in Sun Valley next year, we'll see what happens!!




We had such a fun time at the pool with all the kids and my cousins. Can't wait to go next year!

During my visit I went with Devin's wonderful family to Lake Powell. I had an absolute blast even though I couldn't really do anything because of the baby. I look forward to next year when I can actually participate in wakeboarding and the fun tube wars and making memories with Devin and our baby boy! Thanks Joe and Melinda for a wonderful time! I feel so lucky to have married in to such a wonderful family.

Devin's little sis, Lindsey and cousin Melody playing Dance Dance Revolution. Here at Lake Powell was the first time for me to play Dance Dance Revolution and I loved it. It is probably the hardest video game I have ever played and I really need to work on my skills, but what a great workout. Hopefully Devin and I can get one some day soon!

Devin and I are now official crib owners! I bought this darling crib at Downeast, it's the first thing I have purchased for our babies nursery. I'm excited to move back to Utah and start putting together a nursery!!

Calling all Mommies

As Devin and I get ready for our little guy to come, which is not for another 4 months, I have so many questions. When I get bored which happens alot in Springfield, I jump on the internet and start searching for baby stuff like nursery ideas, cribs, furniture, car seats, strollers, and baby clothes. Well I am so confused when it comes to the best car seats and strollers, so that is where I need your help. What is your favorite brand of car seats and strollers and why? Please Please Please help me out with your imput, I would greatly appreciate it.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABE!


I just got home from SLC so I'm alittle late on posting this, but I had to do it any way. Today July 9th is Devin's 26th Birthday and I just wanted to let him know how much I love him. In the 9 months we have been married I have learned so much about devin and my love and appreciation for him continues to grow each day. I am so proud of all that he has accomplished and for the man he is striving to become. Devin thank you so much for being so patient with me, respecting me, loving me, taking care of me, honoring your priesthood, and being an example to me. You are going to be an amazing father and I look forward to building a happy and healthy family with you. I hope you have had a super fun birthday and I look forward to more and more birthdays to celebrate together. I love you babe!

4th of July weekend in SLC

I had the great opportunity of going to SLC this past weekend for a doctor's appointment and was able to participate in some family fun. I know you all are probably wondering why Devin wasn't in any of the pictures, but he couldn't come because of work. Just so all of you know he is still alive and doing well and I will try to get a picture of him to post sooner or later.
My dorky brother Zach thought he was dead sexy with this new hair due. He sported it all night long. So embarrassing!

I have the most adorable nieces and nephew in the whole wide world!!

Aeden, Sam, Jillian, Marissa, and Londyn(above)

Oakley Rodeo a family tradition. I'm so happy I was in town to go. I wouldn't miss it for the world!






Monday night was FHE up Millcreek Canyon. We had a dutch oven dinner, fruit, salad, and S'mores around the campfire. Thanks mom and dad, stan and jill family, ren and sandi family, and nana for a wonderful night!









A summer must have, S'mores Yummy Yummy!!

My nephew,Sam, really enjoyed his s'mores

Thanks everyone for such a wonderful 4th of July weekend. I loved seeing you all and can't wait to see you again real soon!
