Miss You Already!!

Gra-ma & Papa, Aunt Joy, Aunt Cindy, Toshi, Dominic, Treighton, & Tanner all came to see us!! It was so much fun to get to see everyone. We had so much fun hanging around outside! The weather was so nice! What a break for everyone that came up from St. George!

"No, It's A Baby!"

Yesterday we had to go to the hospital with Hailey. She had a UTI and as a precautionary her doctor wanted us to go in and get an ultra sound on her kidneys, to make sure everything is developing properly. She did really great! I told her that they were going to look at her insides like they did when Mommy went in and we got to see a picture of the baby. She actually sat really still, the lady doing it was really amazed. When we were leaving she stopped us and gave Hailey some pictures of her kidneys. Hailey thought this was really cool and Ashlynn asked her if she could see the pictures of her belly. Hailey looked at her and said, "No, it's a baby." I couldn't help but laugh. Now she's really convinced she's the one having a baby. I had to sit her down and try to explain what her pictures were. Do you think she understands? Who knows. Anyway, everything came out great and there were no problems. BIG relief!

The Lake!

Saturday morning everyone got up, had breakfast, and headed to the Hyrum Lake. We got there around 11:00 am, had lunch, and then started the fun. The girl cousins start out by playing in the sand!

At about 6 O'clock at night, everyone decided that it was time to go home. The kids were hungry and just about every one was fried like a cherry tomato. We packed everything up and headed back to our house to fix dinner and settle down for the night. Everyone eating & watching the Spiderwick Chronicles. We had grilled hot dogs, seven layer dip, pasta salad, & pistachio salad.

If you could have seen where everyone slept you would have died! There were 21 people crammed into our 1100 square foot home!! Amanda, Ethan, Belinda, Sydney, David, Lisa, & Rebecca were all in the living room!BJ was in the kitchen on a cot!
Ashlynn, Emilee, and Jessica were in the floor in the girls room, and Grandpa & Grandpa were on the little girls bed. Eric, Catie, Tyler, Zach, & Andrew were in the computer room!Hailey crashed on Anthony & My bed until Rebecca was moved out into the living room with her parents.
And Anthony, Hailey, & I slept in mine and Anthony's room! Boy were we crowded, but we had the most fun any of us have had in a long time.

4th of July Fun!

Anthony's family came up to Logan on the 3rd. After going to the Lake we came back to our house and ate Kentucky Fried Chicken. Then we went over to the park to wait for the fire works to start. (The city of Logan did their fire works on the 3rd.) The Girls had so much fun playing with all of the Vick cousins! Waiting around for the fire works to start was the funnest part of the evening!

I Am So Proud Of My Honey!!

Anthony just found out, today, that he passed his writing exam! Everyone entering the education program has to take it to start their education classes and 70% of those that take it fail. We are so excited!! Now we can start the education classes and be on our way.

I am so thankful for all of you that have prayed for us and kept us in your thoughts. I know that the Lord does really want us to succeed. I know that we were meant to be up here in Logan doing what we're doing. It has blessed our lives so much. We have become our own little family and I don't know if that would have really happened in St. George. I really believe that every family, starting out, should have the experience of living away from their loved ones, as hard as it my be. We have really learned to rely on each other and the Lord.

Honey, I want to thank you for all that you do for us. You are truly the rock of our family. I love you so much and am so proud of you!
