We're still alive

It has been a crazy summer! Busy, stressful, and FUN! Will post pictures soon. I have lots.

We are staying in Clark county for now...thats a long story. Maybe someday it will have a post all of its own, maybe it won't.

Highlights of summer:

• Getting to visit Chase and Melissa and meet MAX! (That was definitely THE highlight)


• being gone for most of it! ;)


• girls camp


• trips to Marysvale, NC, and the lake


• swimming!

Lowlights(is that a word) of summer:

• Not knowing for sure where we would be this up-coming school year.


• Being all ready to move and then end up staying....still having mixed feelings.....


• Having to come home from visiting Chase, Meliss and Max(NO! 2 weeks was NOT long enough)

Life is good. We really did have a great summer! I can't believe it's already back to school time!

SHOUT OUT TO MY POPS!

HAPPY FATHERS DAY DAD!

You are awesome! We love you more than you know.
We couldn't ask for a better dad or gramps.

We went to Marysvale over Memorial day weekend. It was freezing! I just thought these were some cute pictures.

Happy Anniversary to us!(a couple weeks ago)

June 4th marked 7 years for us! Can you believe it?! I can't. I know that everyone always writes mushy stuff that nobody wants to read about.....But I really couldn't have picked a better man(and Ian a better woman ;D I'm sure that's what he would say if he were here)hehe We are happy and still in love.....most days :)

SEE!

eeewwwwww gross I know!

OK....I'm sure you're wondering what the above pictures have to do with our anniversary??? Well.....we had big plans, but life happens and plans change. We went to the Shark Reef! It was fun! and free! Ian wanted to get revenge on the stingrays, if you remember last summer. He still has a weird scar and it still feels funny. Anyways.... they made peace.
Here's to 7 more years! and many more after that!

Over Achiever

Ian graduated with his Masters of Education Degree last weekend from SUU!
He is my American idol.

You get this sweet robe thingy when you get your Masters.
The more educated you are the more accessories you get!

I am very proud of him. He works so hard at everything he does.
Congrats Ian! Love you!

P.S. I'm pretty sure he graduated with a 4.0

Oh, how I love her!

this really isn't a great picture :)

Me: "Mom, I'm going to raid your closet."
Mom: "Are you dressing up as a polygamist again?"

:) I think that's the funniest thing I've heard all day! For all those who know my mom, you KNOW she is a fashionable lady, she just happens to have a few killer dresses and things that are perfect for Halloween costumes. This time I just need something cute for Ian's graduation, though. I guess i could wear the same dress that I wore on Halloween! That would be pretty awesome actually........hmmmm.

BTW....Mom's closet is organized by color, AND type of clothing; shirts, skirts, pants, etc........Seriously? I hope I put everything back in the right place! ;)
Love you mom :)

blah..

That's how I feel, and have felt since the holidays! I can't get motivated to do much of anything(if you couldn't tell by my posts that are from 4 months ago) and the year is half over! I am snapping out of it, though! It's about time.....

I was listening to the radio on my way to work this morning and they were talking about parents. In particular, what are some funny things your parents do. My dad's famous line is, "clean it up!" and not like a spilled the milk "clean it up" It's when you get all of us kids together and we get a little rowdy, crude, out of control, whatever you want to call it...."clean it up." I love my family SO much! I am very blessed to have ALL of them in my life.

One lady called in and said whenever she asked her dad how he was doing his reply was, "Best day of my life!" I want to have an attitude like that! So, I'm changing my outlook on life. I am going to try and smile before 10:00 a.m. and be happy in the mornings.....(I know my fam is laughing and saying ya right) I will try :)

I will also try to update this thing more often, mostly for myself. I love to go back and read old posts and look at the pictures. Speaking of pictures....It's a good thing I take them, or I wouldn't remember half the stuff that goes on! I was looking through the pictures on my camera, and I was like, oh yeah! oh yeah! oh yeah! hahaha So I have a lot of pics to post and stories to share(with myself)

HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY!!!!! I am smiling as I write this and it's only 9:24! :)
