HaPpY bIrThDaY dAd!

August 14th would have been my Dad's 48th Birthday! It is kinda crazy how time has flown by! I just wanted to say Happy Birthday Daddy! We miss you!!

I just couldn't resist posting this picture! It makes me laugh every time I see it! We all went to my Mom's house to have cake and ice cream for Rocky's birthday that weekend. Rocky and my Mom had gone to Las Vegas for the night to see the Blueman group (that is what us kids gave him and my Mom for their birthdays this year). So we celebrated a few days later. Well we sang him Happy Birthday! and he was all ready to blow out the candles.... well no matter how hard he blew the last 3 or 4 candles would NOT go out! It was so funny! He thought we were playing a trick on him! He finally got them to go out but it was a good laugh for us all! ha ha We love you! Happy Birthday Rocky!

Harper Rae's Blessing

Our cute little niece was blessed August 7th! We all went up to Stansburry for her blessing and to just hang out! We got there Friday night, little did we know that we would be up till 3 in the morning wondering if we were going to have to go to Provo and tow Brad the rest of the way! Saturday we got up and helped Brad fix his car, and then we made cake pops for the luncheon after! They turned out pretty cute! Later that day we went on the zip line, and did the go carts at the Miller Sport Way, it was way fun! Tony was enjoying himself a little to much on the track! ha ha Then Sunday we got up and went to Sacrament meeting for the blessing. After we had a luncheon at Sid and Mel's which was delicious! Then we came home! It was a fun weekend!

Birthday & Painting!

It was my mother-in laws birthday, in July, I know I am a slacker! We didn't really get to celebrate because of work and everyone being busy! But my father in law and I sang her Happy Birthday and let her blow out the candles that night! For her present from her husband Steve, we helped her repaint part of her house! It was quite the process! Moving all the furniture, taping, covering windows and floors, building scafoldings, and everything else that is included... we finally started to paint! Well lets just say after we let it dry, none of us really loved it! So we waited till the next morning to see if it looked any better... well it didn't.. so we talked Tony's mom into going back to the paint store and remixing some paint! ha ha so we started all over again and repainted everything again! Well after the second time it looked great and we all loved it! I think that Naomi is just glad to have her house back! Happy Birthday Naomi!

Lake Powell 2011

Well this year Lake Powell was a little different... Usually everyone from Tony's family is able to come but this year it didn't happen.. Mike and Annie were able to come for the first few days, then after that it was just his parents, Brad and then me and Tony... lets just say the boat seemed a little empty.. hopefully we can all be there next year! :) It was still a fun vacation though! We wake boarded and wake surfed a lot so that was fun! Well then the last few days the the water was pretty choppy and not the greatest, and then Tony ended up getting HIVES all over his body so when that happened we just decided to come home, a day early. Lets just say Lake Powell is Lake Powell and we will always love it no matter what... hopefully next year is even better! :)
