This morning was the kids' dress rehearsal for their dance recital. The recital is tonight. They did really good and look so cute. I'm excited for tonight. Waverly is doing Ballet/Jazz combo. Jaylee is doing Jazz. Conrad is doing Break dancing. I'll post more pics later.

Wyoming 2010

Another fun family trip! We were able to make arrangements with all of our many jobs so we could go visit Nana and Poppi in Wyoming. We left on Halloween day and stayed for three days. Mom made a ton of yummy, fattening treats...hot batter cake, mint chocolate cookies, poop cookies. The girls had their first 'Tea Party' with Nana. It was so sweet. She's been preparing for this for awhile now.

We went four-wheeling the next day. We had fun, but it ended tragically. Matt and Dad stayed behind to ride for awhile longer. Long story short, Dad rolled his four-wheeler. Matt took him straight to the emergency room because he was having a hard time breathing. We rushed to be with them. He was in a lot of pain. Matt was able to find someone there to help give him a Priesthood blessing. Dad was lucky because nothing was broke. He's just really sore.

Matt and I were able to go on a couple little dates. It was nice. I took at least 2 baths a day there. So relaxing. We love going to their house. We ate at Poppy's casino, which was also fun. I get nastalgic when I go into a casino....childhood memories!

Thanks mom and dad! Had a great time.

Yellowstone 2010

I'm behind on posting pictures. This Fall we were able to go on a family vacation to Yellowstone. We had such a fun time! We stayed with my brother Josh and his family. We spent one day in Yellowstone. On the way back to Idaho Falls, I took a trip down memory lane in Rexburg, ID. What a beautiful Temple they have there now! We went to Big Juds, a local diner, where Matt ate a Big Jud Burger. They took his picture to hang on their wall since he finished the whole thing. It was fun. He looked a bit sick afterwards, but we were proud of him.

We spent the next day w/ my brothers family and had a ton of fun. On the way home we stopped by my aunt Tina's house in Pocatello. Her twin babies are so cute. We still weren't ready to go home, so we stopped by Roy, UT and visited with the Dunlaps and the Folletts. We miss them so much. It was a lot of fun.

We had such a fun time being together as a family. Can't wait to go on more trips like this one.

I'm excite to have my LDS website up and running. I'll try to find time to keep working on it. There is a lot to add to it. Hope you enjoy it.

Utah State Fair 2010

We had another fun adventure today. We went to the Utah State Fair in Salt Lake. We went during the day so there wasn't very many people there. (Yeah) We all wanted to buy a rabbit but Matt said no. I'm sure he's right...but they are very cute. I got Matt to ride the mechanical bull. I was hilarious. He's so good to me.

On our way home from the Fair, our car battery died. We had to get a new one. After that we went over to Matt's brother's house for FHE and dinner. It was a fun day!

I've been tackling some projects that I've been wanting to do for awhile now. I decluttered my closet, AGAIN. Hopefully it will stay nice for good now. I've started doing FamilySearch Indexing again. I've read a couple education books and have gotten some good ideas for school. I got rid of old books and clothes. Paid my library fines, including the book that we can't find ANYWHERE in the house. I've also been putting pictures online for my family to see. My next project is crocheting some beanies for the kids.

Oh, I also learned how to make good whole wheat tortillas and bread.

Tomorrow is Lagoon! The first time for Matt and the kids!

Vacation!!

I'm so excited! We had our last day of 'school' yesterday. We went through most of the summer, so we are all very excited to sleep in and be a bit more lazy. I'm hoping we can do some fun things. We're trying to go to Yellowstone and visit my little brother and his family. We will be swimming more and maybe squeezing in a trip to Nana and Poppi's house. Matt's jobs make it hard to go anywhere so we'll have to see what he can do w/ us.

I'm looking forward to more computer and reading time. I'm so excited!
