Go Jeremy Go

Jeremy is a brave soul. He just ran his first sprint triathalon in Utah and did awesome. He swam, biked, and ran through the freezing rain and came out victorious! Next year, we want all of you to do it with him. Here are some pics of his journey. Thank you to Laura and Terry who came down to cheer him on.

Call us crazy

Time for some boating. No matter how busy you get, there is always time for some vacationing. Call us crazy, but we decided to take a trip to Lake Mead in the middle of moving. Was it worth it....you bet.

Busy busy

So, there has been so much going on these past couple months that I just decided to make a random slide show of pics. The pics are of our trip to Utah (before we moved there), Jer's birthday, and our anniversary.

Moving

So, this has been the craziest three weeks ever! For those of you that don't know...we've moved. That's right...packed up our stuff and headed back to Utah. Luckily we were able to rent our house out and rent a new one with no problems. Well, except for the crazy England guy who was actually from Nigeria who was trying to scam us. But that is a long story in itself. Word to the wise...don't try to rent your house to a guy from England who says he needs to rent it for a year and wants to send you money to pay for it and for the furniture that will be coming from New York. It's a scam. Luckily a nice man from our ward is going to rent our place with his 5 kids. He only has them on the weekends, but I'm not sure how he is going to fit all 5 kids into a 2 bedroom house. More power to him. But, we are now in our new place...thanks to my parents, Jer's parents, Sheryl and Nick, Ashely, Jordan, Buttars, Liz, and Jen. We love you. You saved me from becoming an insane person. We are sad to leave Vegas but excited for our new adventure. We're enjoying the roller coaster ride of life.

Celebrate with us

So big news...Jer just passed his Physical Therapy boards. Yahoo!!! I hope you all are doing a celebration dance with us. Go Jeremy..Go Jeremy...Get your groove on. I can't begin to tell you how excited we are and how relieved Jeremy is. He has worked so hard and it has payed off. He can now be an official Physical Therapist. I can't believe we are all done with school. Jer and I have been together 8 years and poor kid has been in school that whole time. But now he's done. Good job baby!!!

Daddy's boy

Well, it's official...mom has moved down the ranks and now dad is #1. Michael just loves his daddy. It is so cute. He gets so sad when Jer leaves in the mornings and walks around the house saying "daddy, daddy." Luckily I can always distract him with some fruit snacks or Backyardigans. At night he calls for daddy when I tuck him into bed and won't stop crying until Jer comes into his room and cuddles him. It is so dang cute. At first I missed being the one to cuddle him to sleep, but now it is great. I can read or catch up on my e-mails and now just have some down time. Why didn't I think of getting Michael to call for dad sooner. Thanks Jeremy for being such a great dad!

4th of July

We had a great time this independence day. Jer, Michael, and I headed up to St. George for the weekend. We shopped, swam, and played at the park. On the 4th there was a celebration at the downtown park. There were food booths, bands playing, a water park for the kids, and a big fireworks show at the end. Michael was soaked by the end of the night and ended up in just a shirt and diaper (his shorts were too wet and were weighing him down). Michael loved the fireworks and would say "wow" every time one went off. It was so cute. The next day we took him to see Wall-E and then went over to my parents for our own fireworks show. Don't ya just love holidays!
