Jackson Hole

I love summer! Especially the vacationing part. We just returned home from a trip to Jackson Hole with my family. It was so beautiful there and we had a great time. We were able to hike in the Tetons and at Targhee, pet horses, go 4-wheeling, see the shootout in Jackson Downtown, and sit in the hot tub and play games every night. We even celebrated Bryce's and Michael's birthdays up there. I feel so blessed to have such a great family!

Happy Birthday Jeremy

Jeremy turned 32 a couple weeks ago! My time flies by fast! We celebrated by having a luau and I even made him a cake to match. What man doesn't want a pair of nice knockers on his birthday cake! He was spoiled with golf clubs and ended up having three birthday parties between his family and mine. We love you so much Jeremy. Thank you for being a wonderful father and husband. Happy Birthday!

Lake Powell

Lake Powell. Isn't that a wonderful place! Jer and I just returned from a houseboat trip to Lake Powell with Jeremy's family this past week and we are trying hard to adjust back to real life...it's not working...we want to go back! We had a wonderful time in our own private cove in Moqui Canyon and five days seemed to fly by. Really, what is better than swimming, boating, sleeping, and eating all day. Thank you so much mom and dad for watching our kids for us and we missed you Amber and Ryan. We had a ton of fun boarding and skiing and we were even brave enough to cliff jump and hike to the Defiance House ruins in Forgotten Canyon. Jeremy turned 32 on our trip and we celebrated with a superhero party. Thank you to Jer's family for a wonderful vacation!

Bryce Turns Two

My baby turned two! I am still in shock. Time has flown by too fast. I love my little Bryce! He chose to have a dinosaur birthday with a volcano cake. All he wanted to do was to go to the park. So we spent the day outside playing, opened presents, had cake and then in the evening we went to the park until the boys were exhausted. His favorite present was the football. I just need to remember that all he wants in life is sports equipment. Bryce is such a wonderful kid. He is such a charmer and anyone who meets him falls in love with him. I feel so blessed that I get to have this special guy in my life. Happy Birthday Bryce!

It seems like just yesterday he was that little...and now he is my big boy!
