Busy Busy Weekend!!!

Hi friends!

So I just wanted to blog about our weekend that we had-it was so incredibly busy and tiring but so totally fun! Starting on Friday we drove up to Potato Lake for our ward campout. I didn't take any pictures unfortunately but we had a good time getting to know some of our ward members better. We really like the ward that we are in. We left super early Saturday morning to get home and get ready for the temple for Heidi and Randy Coplen's sealing. I am so happy that we made it to the sealing because it was the sweetest most special thing I have ever seen. It truly testified to me that families can be together forever. I loved it! We then went to the ranch for little richard's birthday and had a PARTAY! He was so cute and he loved the party and all of his toys. He is so cute! I need to thank Calli and Meagan for letting me use their kids in like all of my posts because I don't have kids but I take pictures of them and blog about them like they are my kids! :) It's just so easy because they are so cute!

       Love these kids!!! Then on Sunday we talked in our ward and I was so nervous but it turned out pretty good I think. It was a good weekend!

Awesome August :)

Hi Everyone! See I told you it would not take me that long to update again from my last post! :) I just wanted to put these pics up of my entertainment center and my cute husband and our ADORABLE nephew...I am back at ASU again finishing up my teaching degree after taking a year off and  that started last week. It is keeping me busy but it's not too bad, remind me that I said that around finals ok??? We also got callings in our ward and I am...the sunbeams teacher! haha yep me...wish me luck! :) Forrest is a ward missionary again, he is happy though, he likes being a missionary. Everything else is great-we speak on Sunday so I guess not everything is great but I will be ok-I hope! I am really scared...I will let you know how it goes. So after weeks of waiting on the edge of your seats I am sure, here is my entertainment center doors finished nad the pillow that I sewed all by myself, can't you tell? :)

We got to play with little richard on monday when calli did my hair and cut forrest's and he was so much fun! Forrest and him got along great though and they played for a while and little richard could not stop laughing it was soooo cute!

 He can walk! I t is the cutest thing to watch him just pick right up and walk...he falls a lot though

                                                                Uncle Fofo wore him out!!!

Nothing new...

I wanted to update the blog but I really don't have anything to say...this last week was busy!!! I don't start school until the end of August so I have a couple of more weeks off before I have no life. I have been spending a lot of time with family and friends...getting projects done and just hanging out! Dawna, Calli, Meagan, Sheleen and all of their little ones have been my buddies and it has been fun. I did get a chance to make some doors for my entertainment center. They turned out really cute and I will post a picture of them and the matching pillow soon...i promise! Hope you are all doing well (the three of you that read this) :) Happy thursday! p.s. i love forrest, he is the best husband ever!

Wrapping up July!!!

These last few weeks have been really crazy but really fun...I will start with the talent show at camp on the last day..Our group is the self contained autistic group and we have an absolute blast at camp. This year we chose to do superheros as our theme...I wish I could show you pictures of the campers because they looked SOOOO cute but I can't because of privacy laws but I can show you a picture of some of the staff dressed up, they look pretty good huh??? That is my brother on the right as two face from batman and then the joker is in the middle and then wolverine on the left.

Now on to something completely different, we got to babysit our nephew Richard while Calli and Richard went to a movie and we had so much fun watching him! We went to my dad and Sharon's and went swimming with him and everyone had a blast! This is him before we put his swimsuit on him, we had just gone to funeral and so he was all dressed up and looked so cute!

The next fun set of pictures that I have are from our family trip up to snowflake with the Leavitt's...We went for the pioneer day celebration and it was so fun! Here is everyone at the parade on Saturday morning...

 We had a fun time at the parade and the rodeo that night! I love this next picture... It is my birthday on July 24th (Pioneer day) which made it all the more fun to go to Snowflake because everyone was celebrating my birthday :) But that morning rthe kids came into the trailer and climbed right up to our bed and jumped on me and started telling me happy birthday-it was so cute! I climbed down a little bit later but they stayed and played with uncle forrest and i laid on the bottom bunk and they kept saying hi...it was cute...then we had breakfast and celebrated my birthday with the leavitt's, i got the cutest purse from them!!! :)

Then later that night we went to my mom's house for dinner with my family and celebrated my birthday with them...that was fun...THEN this post is just going on and on and on and ....just kidding...sorry but a lot happened! :)

The next day we left to California to stay in a condo on the beach with my dad and sharon and the kids...it was a blast!!!! Here is a recap:

Monday: Drove up and went to the beach, walked down to the pier later that night, and the boys went on some rides...

Then we celebrated my birthday again with this family...I am telling you we celebrated A LOT! :)

Tuesday: Shopping in Del Mar and relaxing on the beach

Wednesday: Sea World!!!

Thursday: Padres vs. Diamondbacks game, Old Town San Diego and the Mormon Battalion

We found someone in the battation with the same last name and they had his gun there on display...it was really cool, that memorial is really neat, if you have the chance to go you totally should!

Friday: Hanging at the beach and celebrating my dad's 50TH birthday!!!

this is where we stayed:

                                                           The bay was on one side...

                                                          The beach was on the other...

It was an amazing trip and we did not want to come home! We had a blast, thanks dad and sharon! :)
