All in One. This may be long.

MANTI PAGEANT

We all were able to go to the Manti Pageant. I had Never been before so I was really excited. Let's just say we won't be going again until our youngest is like 8. Because it started so late I was a little worried about Taylor, but thought Emma would just fall asleep. Oh no, Emma freaked out the whole time literally screaming at some points and Taylor was all over the place. I am glad we went but didn't enjoy it too much:) Our friends Spencer and Becky drove us there in their new Honda Pilot Emma peed on the seat, Choked on a cracker and spit that everywhere and Taylor destroyed there backseat with cracker eating. Needless to say I think we were a form of birth control for them that night.

Fathers Day

I sorta skipped over this one. It was the same weekend of the Funeral, so we were all a little tapped out, but we still got together had a BBQ and relaxed a little. I am so grateful for all the Fathers in my life. Nate is the best father and I am so grateful to have him by my side. Our girls just ADORE him. He is gone most days between 8-9 am and doesn't get home until 9-10 pm. Taylor talks about him all the time. She gets a little bag, goes to the door and says "time to go to work!". Nate, she really loves and looks up to you. Thank you for setting a great example. We appreciate all you do for this family. Nothing goes unnoticed. Your hard work and dedication to work, school and many other things that you take on will all be worth it. We love you daddy!


4th of July

On the 3rd, we got together for a birthday celebration. It was a lot of fun. Mostly it was an extension of the fourth. The guys went out and bought fire works and sparklers. The kids loved it. On the 4th, we stayed up in Clearfield at Nate's parents and went to Fireworks that night. BEST firework show I have ever been to. It was so long and wonderful. Emma was in amazement when they started. I was glad so then I could just enjoy them.


Sparklers

This is after she warmed up a little to it. At first she was scared!


Cousins

Nate and his dad.

Taylor and grandma sportin' their glow stick Jewelry


Emma LOVED the glow sticks. We got a killer seat by the stage so we had some entertainment while we waited for the fire works. SO this is Emma dancing with the glow sticks


Farewell Speeds

Some good friends got a job in Dallas, Texas We are so happy for them but will defiantly miss them. I was able to watch their 2 girls the day they left so they could get some last minute cleaning and things done.

Friends Autumn, Taylor and Brooklyn




We pulled out the Guitar, Mic and Maracas. They had a blast!




Raptors Game

My mother in-law had a work party a few weeks ago. Neither of our hubbies were around so I told her that we should go together. It was a lot of fun. They provided us with a BBQ and a Baseball game. Go Ogden Raptors!! haha I had never heard of them before this. Taylor Loved it. She mostly looked for the Mascot the whole time and got into the cheers with everyone. We ended up leaving around the 5th or 6th inning I think. Thanks Mom/ Grandma for taking us with you.


She talked about the Raptor ever since she saw it for the first time. When it came down to giving it a high five or taking a picture with it. NO WAY. She wouldn't even look at it. She was so scared.

Emma got tuckered out half way through. Poor girl would get scared every time the crowd would cheer and then fall back a sleep.






Rc Willey(Moms employer) gave these bags to us as we entered. Taylor LOVED it. that is all she could talk about through out dinner. Here she is proudly holding it on her shoulder.

Nates Camping Trip

Nate went on a horseback riding/camping excursion with some guys from work. There was a lot of dutch oven cooking, shotguns, paintball guns, fire, and horses. He said he had a blast!









Okay that was Really Long. I am sorry but thanks for reading:)

Swimming

So I try to get the girls out swimming at least once a week. Usually it is just outside in our little pool. They both LOVE the water so it is a lot of fun for all of us. It wears them out too:)



Taylor and Maren "Cooking" they are so cute.

My friend Jessica brought over this cool ball. The girls thought it was a lot of fun.

Taylor,Brooklyn and Autmn

Snoozing. After a long day at the pool!

My long lost friend Emily AKA: best neighbor ever that had to move away :(
took us to the Scera pool. It was the first time I had ever gone with both of them pretty much by myself because Em had her own little one to look after. I held both of them for a while and just floated around it was a lot of fun but you can only do that for so long luckily they had this little slide. Saved the day. Pretty much that was all I saw the rest of the day! It was in the shallow end so Emma and I could just sit there and hang out in the Water while Taylor went down the slide over and over and over again. Thanks Emily for an awesome day!




Emily and little Cruiser.

Till we meet again.

On June 15, 2009 Nate's Grandfather passed away. It was a very sad but happy moment in our lives. I met Gpa in his old age so I LOVED hearing all of his wonderful stories of when he was younger and all of his lifes successes. We were able to have a very special guest at the funeral. President Thomas S. Monson was really good friends with Gpa. He told some stories about Gpa that I am sure many of us didn't know about. What a great blessing that he was able be there. We love you Gpa and you will be missed.

Springville City Days

Springville celebrates July holidays in June? They last about a week. That week was the off and on of the crazy rainy weather. So we only went to a few things. I took the girls to the Childrens Art Fair. The kids basically get to go around to booths and make all sorts or art projects(clothespin butterfly's,leather necklace, paint like picasso.....etc) It was an all day thing and Taylor loved it. The next morning was the big parade. We sat with some friends in the ward and had a blast. Emma freaked out at the beginning with all the sirens. But once that was over she waived to the royalty, danced to the marching bands and clapped when everyone around here clapped. Cutie. Taylor was all about getting candy she wouldn't even bother putting it in her bag. It went straight in to her mouth. When that ended a down pour came so I decided to bag going to the fair where all the rides and other things are. Late that night we enjoyed Springville Fireworks from our front porch:)
