Season 7 cannot come soon enough!

 

Happy 2 years to us!

I cannot believe that we are already celebrating our 2nd year of marriage! It seems to have gone by so fast. These two years have been most fantastic and I can't wait to see what the next years bring!

To celebrate we spent the evening in Salt lake. We ate at Ruth's Chris, which was super delicious! We saw Dirty Rotten Scoundrels at the Hale in West Valley, and stayed the night in Hotel Monaco. The next morning we went estate sale shopping and scored some really great stuff.
To sum it up: perfect.

I don't want to get all sappy on here or anything, but Andrew is wonderfully supportive and the funniest person I know. He is the best company I keep.

Summertime

Look at these sweet faces! 

Zoo smiles!

Lindon pool/park day!

I love spending time with the kiddos. They are the best.

Wausaukee, part one

In celebration for my parents 40th wedding anniversary, we decided to all get together at Randy & Elly's family cabin in Wausaukee, Wisconsin. Daddy helped arrange the whole thing, but we wanted to surprise Mommy with the reunion!
We have been planning this trip for over a year now, and holding in this huge secret from Mommy was huge! I was so scared I would ruin the surprise to her, I even dreamed about it!
But we did it!
She was completely surprised - success!
We spent the week relaxing on the edge of Elbow Lake with all the siblings & Randy, Elly, David & Elana! The 1920's cabin had so much character and charm, I think I could live there.
There was swimming, fly fishing, canoeing, sailing, porch-sitting, storytelling, and lots of ice cream! 

I do not have the pictures from the trip yet (hence this is "Part one") but I will share just a few that I have.

more to come...

Crawdad Canyon

In June Andrew & I drove down to St. George to meet up with Ryan and Kristen at Crawdad Canyon. 

It was our first time there and it was a great little camping spot. 

We spent our time playing with frogs

And kissing them

  

Swimming in the river

and soaking in the sun

and rock climbing...of course! 

We didn't try to catch any crawdads.
But that is what next time is for!

Target practice

Andrew recently bought his first gun.

He was pretty excited. 

(Although, if you ask him about it, he'll probably deny it.)

We went shooting up in the canyon.

It was my first time to shoot a gun,

And I shot better than Andrew!

(Although, if you ask him about it, he'll probably deny that too.)

Ari & Lincoln turn 4!

Both little boys celebrated their 4th birthdays this year. One Superman style and the other in Outer Space!

They are pretty great kids! 

 

Playing Catchup

My goodness, I have been MIA for the past few months.
You'd think I've been busy or something, but the truth is I'm always busy. So it is really just blog laziness.
So I now apologize for the outpouring of information from the last couple months of our lives.
