Family Fun 2010

A few weekends ago we had a couple family reunions the same weekend. On Friday night we went up to the Heber Young Women's Camp with all of Jeremy's extended family. That camp is very impressive with showers, flushing toilets, ice machines and cabins. If only I were a young women again so I could go and bask in the fun that I am sure goes on at that camp . . . . . ! We had fun cooking dutch oven dinner and visiting with family. Then that night they had all of the newlyweds from that year and year + (there were 4 couples) play the newlywed game. I am glad to announce that Jeremy and I tied for first . . . phew. . . ! It was a fun night and we had GREAT dutch oven food. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures because we were busy making the food . . then eating it all! We said goodbye to everyone that night and headed to Park City to start my family reunion. We woke up the next day and met everyone at Deer Creek. The weather didn't really cooperate with us in wanting to enjoy a nice hot day outside. Instead it was windy and then we got rained on . . . . we did get to ride in the boat then take the wave runner out for a minute before I made Jeremy go in because I was shivering too much! We had a good rest of the weekend hanging out at the condo, eating lots of good food, swimming and riding the alpine slide and coaster! It was sure fun having everyone together and being able to spend some time together! Look how cute these kids are!

24th of July

For the 24th of July this year we decided to head up to the Uintas and hike a trail to Notch Lake. The trail was beautiful and still covered in lots of wildflowers. We got to the lake and met Jeremy's best friend Brian and

his wife Mandy who had camped there overnight.

The scenery was just great and we had a fun time walking around

and enjoying being outside in the nice cool air.

Brian did a little jumping from the rocks. He did check out the landing zone to make sure it was free of any rocks! (Even though it looks like he is heading straight for that big rock in the water!)

We found a huge rock/bench that was just perfect for being lazy.

Then we headed down to Kamas and had yummy burgers

and excellent shakes after our day of hiking

(I had a key lime pie shake . . . . and in fact it was so

delicious I wish I were eating it right now!)

It was a great day!

Happy Birthday Jeremy!

It is Jeremy's birthday today!

Since both of us are in Primary

the kids got to sing to him last Sunday.

We usually sing to kids and teachers,

but Jer was the only person there to sing to!

I think he really enjoyed everyone singing to him,

while he just stood up there, hoping the song would be over soon!

Happy Happy Birthday Jeremy dear

Happy days will come to you all year!

If I had one wish, then it would be

A Happy Happy Birthday to you from me!

Here are a few things that Jeremy loves and

I am sure wishes he were doing today instead of working and going to school!

Being in Maui snorkeling and playing in the water

Eating ice cream

Hiking, backpacking or anything outside

Building something!

Playing with our fun nieces and nephews

He loves playing with these kids so much

and I am pretty sure they

love playing with him back.

(Maren still giggles every time Jeremy says hi to her!)

Happy Birthday to You!

Don't run in the rain

One night a few weeks ago Jeremy and I were too lazy to go to the gym but still knew we needed to workout, so we decided to go for a run outside. The weather was nice and overcast so we started running. About at our halfway point it started to sprinkle on us. Then 5 seconds later it was a complete down pour, so we sprinted the rest of the way home. It was pretty great, and we got our workout and a shower all in one!

Speaking of running . . .

This last weekend I ran a 5k with a couple of my co-workers. It was a perfect morning . . . (minus the waking up at 5:00 on a Saturday!) and we had a fun time and made it in 32 minutes. Our goal was 30. We blame the slow people in front of us when we started!

Me, Wendy and Angie looking mighty fine at the crack of dawn!

Sweaty and Done!

Happy to you Dad!

It is my Dad's birthday today.

I was going post just a couple of my favorite pictures of him,

but found so many I liked I had to post them all.

He is a great dad and a perfect grandpa!

"Happy to you!" (As Hatee use to say!)

Hope you have a great day!

He is always wrestling with the kids, and they all

ganged up on him at once to get him back!

One year older and wiser too, happy birthday to YOU!

We sure love you!

Frozen Cake

We kept the top of our wedding cake (well let me rephrase that . . mom and dad kept our wedding cake for us in their freezer for the past 12 months!) The cake lady told my mom how to wrap it so it would freeze good. Jeremy was really excited to eat some, since he didn't get any at our reception. After we unwrapped a few layers of foil and saran wrap we got to the cake. It actually kept really well and it still had the key lime taste to it!
