Temple Square

We headed down to Temple Square one "date night." The weather was perfect and it was so fun seeing all the pretty flowers. We had a great time and got some good pictures!

We went to Temple Square in 2008 when we were dating so took another picture like the one we had taken before (below).

Ahh . . precious

This flower was ginormous

Yeah for nice weather and for being able to do things outside! (Now if it would only stop raining and stay nice weather we could really be happy!)

Crazy Hair

Sunday night entertainment = Torturing friends one year old child by rubbing a beach ball on her head and watching her hair stick straight up.

(It was all Jeremy's idea)

Primary Thank You's

Our Primary Presidency was reorganized a few weeks ago. I was called from being the Secretary (which was the most wonderful calling ever) to being the 2nd Counselor (which I am sure will be just as equally wonderful!) We made little thank you cookie bouquets to give to Melanie and Hollie who are leaving us for bigger and better things. (and by things I mean new houses . . . . jealous). I had the kids write thank you notes for the grass. I thought it turned out cute and the project was so easy. I did walk through a couple grocery stores looking for cookies with holes in the middle. I could only ever find 2 different kinds! Now every time I am in a different grocery store I find myself looking for cookies with holes. Call me crazy.

TwO yEaRs!!

Can you believe it has been two years since this perfect day?!

Conference & Flying Kites

For Conference weekend we headed down to Mapleton. We enjoyed a couple days of warm weather and on Sunday woke up to a few inches of snow. . . . Isn't Spring time in Utah so fun?!?! Saturday in between sessions we roasted hot dogs (from the burn pile dad had going), flew kites, rode the quad (as Tessa calls it), and grandpa gave tractor rides as he was plowing the orchard. It was a fun day, and all of us got sunburned in the overcast weather.

Jeremy worked on his jeep over at the shop (you can kind of see his jeep across the street) while all of us tried to untangle kites and get them up in the air!

Nice sunglasses Hatee . . . I think I had those when I was her age.

I love how some fashions make their way back around!

Tessa, Reagan and Abby having a good time!

"Look how high it is!"

It sure is fun to have Tessa (I guess Abby and Chad too)

so close to us now!

She is such a sweet little girl and so much fun!

We loved the nice relaxing weekend we had and enjoyed being able to watch Conference!

Cute Things!

This is Jeremy and Bree. She is one cute and funny baby. Bree gets to come and play at our house some Friday's (yeah for 4-10's!) while her parents go to work, and some Sunday's when BOTH of her parents have to (get to?!) go to ward council (yep they are pretty righteous). Brock and Melanie have been our good friends ever since we moved into the ward and we enjoy hanging out and playing with them and their little munchkin.

Reading up on the primary lesson in their jammies!

She is too cute!

I got an amaryllis before Christmas and it finally bloomed. It sure was pretty.

I saw this cute wreath idea posted on a blog over a year ago. I had it bookmarked on our computer and decided that I should make it this year for a Valentine's wreath for our front door. It looks so cute and was a very easy project, just lots of cutting little red felt circles and pinning. If you are interested I got the idea from here.

Here is a close up of it on our front door

(don't look too close, looks like our front door needs a good clean!)

Happy Valentine's Day!

New Baby, Christmas and always wear a helmet!

Brett and Wendy (Jeremy's sister) got a wonderful Christmas present! Noelle (Ellie) was born on December 22nd. We were able to go and visit them in the hospital. What a sweet thing!

Uncle Jer with three cute girls!

We were able to spend a few days down in Mapleton over Christmas, and this is the only picture I took!

(They are pretty cute kids though!)

We had a wonderful Christmas and enjoyed being our families.

Before Christmas we met the Greer family down at Temple Square and ate at the Lion House and walked around to see the lights!

We had somewhat of an exciting week leading up to New Years.

(Although this kind of exciting is the type that I wouldn't mind never having to do again!)

The Tuesday after Christmas dad was pushing snow on his 4 wheeler in front of the house. One minute he was on his 4 wheeler and the next he wasn't and was face down on the road. No one saw the accident but luckily people found him seconds after it happened. He took a ride in the ambulance and after a few hours and two CT scans later, the dr.'s decided they needed to go in and do emergency surgery to drain the blood that was collecting in his brain, as his condition was getting bad . . very fast! The surgery went well and they were able to repair the skull fractures and put in a drain tube for the blood. He was in the ICU for the next several days then spent a few days in a "regular" hospital room (which happened to be the smallest hospital room known to man!) He is home now and recovering (which means he is back going to work and doing his church callings!) The nurses all said, "now that is why you wear a helmet when you are riding 4 wheelers." So I guess even if you are pushing snow going 2 miles an hour you should just play it safe and wear a helmet! I think we could find a nice pink one for him!

His cut up clothes

A picture that I took on my phone while he was sleeping in the ICU.

Grandpa's biggest fan! (Although that was as close as Micah would get . . . hospital rooms and grandpa's connected to things are kinda scary, wouldn't you agree?!?!)

His awesome horseshoe scar

Those few days we surely felt the power of prayer and were grateful for everyone who thought of him! We love our dad/grandpa and glad that he is home safe and back to "normal!"
