I believe after the last couple of months, I deserve a small moment of bragging time. Many of you know that Tyler has started a new side business. Here you see the logo, if you are interested further please go to the website, www.coldcreekwellness.com. I am so very proud of Tyler and all of his hard work to get this business up and going, and of course his partners as well. He has always wanted to own his own business. I truely believed that it was possible for him I just never thought it would be something like this. Cold Creek is a residental addiction treatment center located in Kaysville. Hopefully things will keep going strong for us and Tyler can continue to love what he is doing. What an intersting adventure it has been and still I can say it has been worth it. Way to go Ty!!!

Ok, so many of you know that my sister Lisa makes GREAT sugar cookies. So I was giving my friend a baby shower and it is always a tradition now that we have to have sugar cookies. The picture is of Lisa and I children doing their part. They always get to frost their own cookies just before we are ready to sit down and really frost! In the picture you have Natalee, Stuart, Parker, Ryan, Aubrey and Spencer. Quite the crew when trying to make cookies!!!

The canyons!

The Dallas family celebrated the last couple of months birthdays up in the canyons for dinner. It was a great time and the dinner was great! Dutch oven is always fun to do. The kids loved the river and it was even slow enough to play right next to it. Aubrey was the only on I really got pictures of, because the camera battery went dead!!! Thanks for the fun and good times.

More Summer fun!

So we took a couple of weeks off of swim lessons and did a few other activities. The one place that I remembered to take my camera was Thanksgiving point. The kids love it here, they can get so close to the animals and feed them, I like it better than the zoo, because it does not take 2 hours to see all of the animals....

Ok, so I finally sat down and found out how to do this!!! Went to the doctor today and he said everything looked great!!! He even said I was measuring small, I told him that was just a joke he plays on women that are DONE! However not even really that close! He laughed and told me see ya in two weeks.....!

HOPEFULLY I HAVE NOT BORED YOU ALL WITH MY MANY POST BUT I THOUGHT AN UPDATE WAS IN STORE.. MOSTLY FOR MY MOTHERS SAKE!!! THE BABY IS GOOD AND MY BACK IS NOT GETTING ANY BETTER. I DID HAVE TO LEAVE GIRLS CAMP EARLY BECAUSE OF IT AND AS MOST OF YOU KNOW THAT IS NOT LIKE ME!!! BUT FOR THE MOST PART THE BODY AND BABY ARE GROWING JUST FINE!!!!
