Well, well, well,where have we been

You know how your lives get so busy and you forget to update evryone on how you are...yeah that's me!! I have been such a slacker and I am sorry. It's always so nice to see when people update, so here is an update for all of you!

Of course we've been busy with work as most of you are familiar with, we've been having fun in the summer sun and enjoying eachothers company.

Shawn and I have been running about every other night, I do 2 miles and he does 4. We are trying to get in shape for our cruise which is about 53 days away...SO EXCITED!!!

We got to house sit a house here in our neighborhood for 2 weeks, which was kind of wierd but it was fun at the same time. This house has a projection screen and a nice sound system, so we had some friends over one night to watch Gremlins. That movie is so 80's, it was actually funny because remembering it as a child I was scared, but to see it now, oh my gosh! Of course we've been going to lagoon off and on and the drive in, and just hanging out. We went to South Ogden days the other night with our friends from Oregon, that was a lot of fun!

Oh Shawn signed up for school once again, he will be starting at the end of August. I am so proud of him, hopefully he will stick it out and get his career..fingers crossed!!!

So there's our life story for the last month, sorry for the long delay, I will try do do better next time!!

Of course Shawn started the fire

(we've been doing lots of camp fires)

Maddie, Colby, Melody and Harry
Good ol' smores!!

Evertime we take Koda to get cleaned she

never comes back with her nails painted like

the smaller dogs. So I painted them myself!

She is so stinkin cute!!

Grai has the best "ratty" hair!! I love

to take a comb to his hair and play, this kid

is hilarious!!

Happy Father's Day Dad!!! Nice golf shirt!! I love
this guy!

So Steph (sis in law) told me about this

frozen yogurt place called Spoon Me. We

took a little trip there on Sat with Chad

and Steph. Look how cute the napkins are!

Me and Teresa at South Ogden days. We

stopped at a vendor to get our eyes painted with

glitter. This lady made us look so bad...so of course

we had to take a pic. Our husbands said they

didn't want us feeling out of place, so they did it too.

They got younger girls that had style, so they looked

much better than we did.

Lots to catch up on

Almost another month gone and another post, I figure about one post a month is good! Anyway, last week we all decided to go to the zoo as a family, most of the fam went, some had to work. We ended up taking all the kids with us, the only one who was prepared was my sis in law Erin, I was so thankful she came with. I had no idea what to pack, all I packed was myself and hand sanitizer! We were all excited to see the Madagascar exhibit, but to be honest it was actually quite boring, there were only about 5 animals to see. We got lots of pics, can't post all of them, but I will post some.

Since we got our Lagoon passes we try to go at least every other weekend when I have off. My parents and sis/bro-in-law got passes too so they can come with us. It has actually been really nice going and not being so hot, lines aren't too long and it's not so crowded. Here are some pics of this last weekend, we went with my parents and took my nephew too.

One more thing..Shawn and I took the dogs to the park the other day. We let the dogs run around and play, it was a really nice day to be out!! I got lots of pics of the blooming trees, they were so gorgeous!!

To be or not to be....

This post is all about Shawn, so one day he decides to just out of nowhere to sport a 'stache.' What the heck?? I don't mind when he grows his little patch under the chin, or if he has a goatee, but this time he went too far....he grew a frieken moustache...aaaaaahhhhhhhhh.....

I cannot stand moustaches, they are so ugly!!!! Don't get me wrong, some people can pull them off, but poor Shawn did not stand a chance in my eyes. I felt so bad the whole week he had it, I was saying rude things to him all the time, I didn't even want to kiss him cause it hurt and I didn't want to be near that thing. He tells me the only reason he tried it is cause at work the only facial hair they can grow is the stache, nothing else. So he just wanted to show his friends at work that he could do it, and most of them complimented him on it. At some points it didn't look too bad, so I can't say he is totally unattractive with it.

Thankfully he shaved it a week later, after he showed it off to everyone at work. I came home to such a great surprise!!!

Here's a little somethin!

This is Shawn, just thought I'd show you what fun is!!!

A Saturday with family

Yesterday (sat) we all got together as family for such a special day...it was our oldest niece's baptism. We as her family are all so proud of her for making such a great choice in her life, it's the biggest one she's had to make yet!! Jaycee looked so beautiful yesterday in her white dress, and you could see it in her face that she was so happy to get baptized!! After the baptism we all went to Jen and Brants house to change and pick a place for dinner, we chose to go to Famous Daves...who doesn't like a good ol' bbq after such a great day?? Here are a few pics of dinner, they are not the best, it was kind of dark in there, but hope you enjoy!!

Nothing much goin on

Ok, so Easter was a couple weeks ago and I am just barely posting about it...go ahead and call me a slacker!!! It was a very nice day, and I was actually very surprised that my whole family had the day off. Of course we went to church, well only sacrament cause we had to go to Shawn's parents for lunch. When we got to his parents house we got to visit with both sets of grandparents and play with all the nieces and nephews there, it was a full house! Then we came back to our house where we had my whole family there, and of course more food. We ended up having bbq chicken and ribs, potato salad, baked beans, deviled eggs and so on and so on...

On to the egg hunts-at Shawn's parents the kids all got a bag and went to the front to find the eggs with their first initial on them, they each got 6 big eggs (my m-i-l is so organized) and a basket..so much candy!!

At my parents we got a ton a little eggs filled with candy, and 6 big eggs with candy and money. We hid all the eggs in the backyard, and we wanted to make it more confusing for the kids so we got some colored plastic balls and put them all over the yard too..then my sis in law came over and put squeeze its, crackers, marshmallow treat bags, and so much more, she made it so much fun with all that. Needless to say, we all ended up with goodies and full bellies that night!

Emma is so excited

A day at the duck pond

My little sister Maddie and I took Grai to Wendy's to grab a snack before we went to play with the ducks. As we sat down on a bench to have our fries and nuggets, Grai wanted a fry and ended up dumping all the fries on the ground. That's when all the ducks started coming up toward us, they only like us when they want something. So we fed them, chased them and wathced them swim around. It was a beautiful day to be outside, I love this weather!!!

Grai wanted to touch the duck
