Pool Party :)

Chris and I decided to throw a pool party for our primary class if they read half the BofM wither it be with there family or by themselves. Well they held there part of the bargain and so we threw them all a Pool Party and BBQ at the Whitchurch's home. They loved the slid and diving board with all the food they could eat!
It has been a good experience for Chris and I to teach our primary class together even though I still do not like teaching in front of Chris since he does so much better then I. Chris is so good at entertaining the kids and keeping there interest! He will be good with our future children, that's all I can say! I will be the one who lays down the law ha ha ;)

The big 26!

I wanted to take a minute to wish the love of my life a wonderful Happy Birthday! The last 2 years have been the best couple years I have ever had. I love how you make me laugh! You can see in the Birthday picture the kind of character you are which brings me much happiness! I hope this next year will be full of good choices and health so that you can be all that you wish to be. I can't help but feel so grateful to be your wife and future mother of your children. I love you dearly and pray that you know how important you are in my life.

Stan is here!



Today Stan was able to make a quick stop to stay with Chris and I overnight! It was short but we loved having him over! Stan and a couple friends showed up while John, Chris and I were in a movie at Jordon Commons in Sandy so we met there. Then we were able to get them some food and the boys played the xbox before getting some good nights rest. I made breakfast and off they went to Ohio to work for the summer while John came up to SL with me and I dropped him off at work before I went to work. I love every chance I have to be with family even if it is short visit. I was happy to give them all a place to sleep :)

Scottish Festival Year #2






This year is our second year attending the Scottish Festival! We love making this a tradition for the years to come! We had our root beer mug from last year and purchased a second this year since we also had my brother John with us :)

Unfortunately our Scottish tribe (Gun tribe) was not there but our enemy was ha ha! We still had fun in the sun! I loved eating the curly fries, turkey legs and ice cream cones while watching the games and listening to the bag pipes and the Wicked Tinkers play! It was perfect weather and we spotted the Devine family while looking at the big swords etc. It was the Devine's that invited us the previous year and we are grateful since we plan to go every year here on out!

Goblin Valley Camping Trip!









After the long day spent at Spencer and Natalie's wedding, we decided to go camping over the weekend so we packed and left early Saturday morning to Goblin Valley! I have never been and it had been years since Chris has been there. I love love love road trips with my husband! I think he likes having me open up during the car ride and creating memories together!
We decided to go hike Bell Canyon and Little Horse canyon! It was super fun and I loved every part except for the part we had to jump over a dead deer that was partly eaten. I would have to say that I was then a little nervous in running into a cougar. It would be perfect territory for them to trap their food since they could leap on us from the top of the canyon rocks but all is good and we made it through safe! We started with Bell and went into Little Horse that was filled with some water. What a way to add to our adventure ;)
Once we finished our hike that took most of the daylight, we made camp and Chris warmed up some good dinner! We had a beautiful view and it was all to ourselves! I love getting away from the day to day busy life style to slow down and enjoy the beauty Utah has to offer!
Day #2 Chris and I had some eggs and packed camp. We drove over to Goblin Valley and walked around a bit before we drove back home!

Thank you Chris for the wonderful adventure and another memory to add to our journey together!
