Tonight I’m grateful for a husband that is more concerned with spending time with his boys and making memories

rather than the mess it will make.

Josh, Andrew, and Luke--

I hope you know how lucky you are.

Trip to Utah and longest post EVER

On June 30 we started our long drive to Utah. 

After many hours of driving we finally made it the next day at 4pm.

As we drove into Tooele we noticed a Costa Vida had just opened in town.

Yum!!  I think we ate there 3 times over our 10 day visit.

I was supposed to give Darrin a haircut before we left, but it never happened so

Darrin got one from his brother instead. 

Chad talked him into going with the #1 attachment on the clippers.

I thought he looked really good, but Darrin wore a hat for the next 3 days.

I think he’s finally used to it now…considering he just cut it that short again yesterday.

Yeah!! Sexy :)

The night of the 2nd we watched the Hancock firework show.

Luke and Josh loved it, and Andrew of course had to watch from the van…and shortly after that went in the house and went to bed.

He hates loud noises.

The morning of the third we got up and went to the local parade.

Then had the annual Hancock 4th of July picnic at the church pavilion.

I’m pretty sure Luke lived off chips our entire vacation.

After lunch we set off our model rockets.

  Too loud for Andrew.

Josh’s rocket blew up for some reason…here are the remnants we found in the nearby field.

That night we went to the Grantsville fireworks.

They always have a great show!

Tuesday we made our annual trip to Lagoon.

The weather was absolutely wonderful for us.  We would have been cold if we would have gone to Lagoon a Beach.

It was that nice!!

Notice I don’t have any pictures of Josh.

He was big this year and rode all big rides ie.colossus, wild mouse and spider.

I was never with with him on those, so I never got any pictures.

We had a great time like always though!

Wednesday July 8 we took the boys to the driving range and then swimming.

The rest of the days were filled with cousins and fun.  Most of the time we didn’t see the kids.  They just played with their cousins. all. day. long.  They “caught bugs out in the field, made a club, played video games, and had lots of ice cream.”  --quotes are memories by Josh and Andrew

On July 10th we headed for home and drove the whole way that day.

Thanks Grandpa for the doughnuts. 

They made us happy.

especially mommy

Until next time…

Just a note

We are finally pleased to announce

baby #4

coming February 7, 2011!!

We couldn’t be more excited!!

Girl’s Weekend

On the weekend of June 25-26 a few girl friends of mine we able to go spend the night at the coast in Amy’s Aunt’s beach house.

We had a great time!!!

We went to a seafood restaurant for dinner on Friday, and I did get fish. 

It was okay…still don’t really like it though.

That night we stayed up talking, playing games and just goofing off.

Saturday we shopped our hearts out.

 

Boy it was a fun weekend, but man was I tired when I got home.

Thanks, Darrin, for letting me get in some “girl” time :)

Do you know what these mean??

 

It’s summer time.

And the same thing happens every year.

You’re probably used to it by now.

We’ve been too busy with camping, vacations, jam, cousins, etc…

to blog about any of it.

Stay tuned though.

Catch up in progress.

XOXOXOXO
