What time is it? Summer Time!!!


Christian and I have been having a very eventful Summer so far! I haven't had a chance to even Blog about it. This is us at Gallivan Plaza watching the fireworks on the 23rd. We have made it a tradition that last couple of years to camp out on the parade route for Pioneer Days! We had a blast! We set up our tent and sleeping bags and then went to the Culture Fest at Gallivan. We ate at the very crowded (only place open) Carl's Jr. and then went back to our tent and watched Ghostbuster's on our Laptop! We got very little sleep due to all the noise, but it was way fun! the next Morning we watched the parade. Couldn't show you all the floats, but I thought I would show you the most important one!! BYU!!!!!
There were a ton of great floats! I can't beleive the time and money that goes into it! We also got to see Thomas S. Monson riding in a convertible with an adorable Cowboy hat on! It was awesome! After the parade we went home and took a nap. That night we lit our own fireworks (pathetic ones, but fun ones) at our house. It was a great Pioneer Day!!! I can't wait for next year!

Also, This Summer a very exciting thing has happened! I am an aunt again! His name is Owen Benjamin Talbot! He is super cute! To give Mommy a break I took Taylor and Morgan for a girl's night and we watched the 3-D Hannah Montana concert! Man did they love it!!! We got Hannah Montana bracelets, tattoos, and little ceasers pizza! I love spending time with my neices and nephews!!! They are so stinkin cute!!! See, look......


My Mom and I drove to the Hospital in Moroni at 11:30pm. Got there at about 1:00am. and stayed there until 11:00am!!! Owen was a stubborn little boy! He was warm and did not want to come out! I am so glad I got to be there when he was born though! It is great hearing that first cry! Baby Owen and Jamie are both doing excellent! He is super cute and loves his brother and sisters! We are so glad to have another baby and my summer couldn't have been better!

Summer Fun!!!

Well, not much to update, but we have been having a great Summer so far!



We don't do much, but work. haha On our off days however, we try to have some fun!



Our last day off, we went to a double feature movie at Thanksgiving point. We saw Ironman, and then had a picnic on the grass, walked around the gorgeous gardens!!! and then saw The Hulk. Both were very good movies! And we had a great time together!



We have also been enjoying some family time. We camped outside my Mom's backyard and roasted marshmallows in her firepit with my sister, and neices and nephew and the kids ran through the sprinklers when they came to visit our house, it was great fun!



Also, this summer we have decided to complete our yard. We put in the grass last year and flowers and bushes this year. We aren't finished yet, but it is coming along. finally starting to look like our Home. Christian is loving every minute of it! How many wives can say their husbands get excited to mow the lawn and pull weeds? Mine does! It's great!



Here are a couple pictures of what we have done so far.



We plan to go camping, boating, swimming, to the zoo and play outside as much as possible this summer! We will keep posting picture's along the way! Hope everybody is doing well!
