a visit to melissa's

Since Melissa is getting married on July 11th and we won't be able to make it, we decided to go up on the 4th and see her. I never got a picture of Chad, her fiance, but if you look closely in this first picture, you can see him in the mirror! Pretty cool huh? Melissa and Chad live in Park City. I had only been there once before and had forgotten how gorgeous it is. What a lucky girl to get to live up there. I should have gotten a picture of the view they have, it's heavenly! We also got to see Skip & Lori while we were there. I forgot how funny they are! Great times! The girls ran around after Melissa's dog, Abby, all day long. It was her first birthday and I think she thought we were there just for her! She's one spoiled little pup! So cute! Melissa bought the girls the head bands they're wearing, painted their faces and put hair mascara in their hair. I'm not sure who was more tired when we finally left... Abby, the girls or Mellisa! Anyway, it was good to see them all. We'll definitely have to go back when Chad is off duty!

July 3rd, 2009

The City of Logan does their fire works on the 3rd of July every year. At first I thought this was really dumb of them, but I've since changed my mind! We can still see the fire works as a family and then the next night, which is actually the 4Th, we can either do fire works at our house, or we can go down to Anthony's sister's house in Kaysville and watch fire works, again, with them! Which we usually do.
This year, like the few years before, and we're hoping to have it be a family tradition, we stopped by KFC and grabbed a bucket of chicken with all of the sides. Then we went to the park and set up. I guess it's not actually a park though, it's a middle school. But which ever, it's the perfect spot. The grass is green, the tree's give us shade,and there are never very many people there, which gives the girls plenty of space to run around and play for a few hours before the fire works start. We brought the girls hoppers and their velcro mitts and balls and a cooler full of pop and ice! This year we had the pleasure of Anthony's boss and his family coming with us. It was a blast and the girls had fun playing with their kids.
I love being up here in Logan for many reasons, this being one of them, and I hope that when we move back to St. George, we keep up with the traditions we have started up here.

My little bug Alyssa, who is always chewing on something!

All that slobber! Dang those teeth, wish they'd get here already!

i love to see the temple...

A week ago we had to go down to Salt Lake to pick up a car and on the way home we decided to stop by the temple. It is so pretty. The girls think it's a castle and have their minds made up that they are going to get married there, someday, with their handsome prince! I hope so! We had a lot of fun walking around taking pictures of the girls!

What little posers!

Fathers Day {finally}

For Father's Day I thought that I would make Anthony a big breakfast in bed but then I thought, if it were me, I'd rather sleep in and then eat! So the girls & I let Anthony sleep in and then we took him to breakfast at IHOP (this was on Saturday morning). On Friday, I went to the store looking for some little gift we could give him. Now, I know he'd rather have a new power tool, or a new nine iron, but I am not about to guess what kind he likes, so.... I settled for a red tie and then headed over to the card section. Usually for Fathers Day and his birthday I sit down and make him a card or write something really sentimental in one I've bought, but this year I found the PERFECT card that says just what I'm feeling! Soo, here it is.......

MY HUSBAND
is a man of character
who understands commitment
and does more than his share
to make his family comfortable,
safe, and secure.
I adore him...

MY PARTNER
is a man who is patient,
optimistic, caring, and wise.
His sense of humor and support
hold me up when I can't do it myself.
I'm grateful for him...

MY FRIEND
is the only man with whom I can share
my deepest secrets
and know they'll be safe.
Time with him is always good.
I cherish him.

Honey, You are all of those things and more to me. I am so thankful you came into my world, for if you hadn't, I'm sure I never would have known the kind of happiness you've brought into my life. I love you. Happy Father's Day! Love, Chelsey

toodle.doodle.do...what.to.do

So,... I am in a blogger funk! I really can't seem to want to down load any pictures to blog about!

Maybe it's my kids?!

They truly have been trying for me the last couple weeks.

I think that maybe they are just bored.

And I guess so am I.

Hopefully with the 4th of July coming up, things will get a little more exciting around here.

My goal in the next couple of days?....

blog about Fathers Day.

(yes, i'm that behind)

(any suggestions on what we could do...)

(something free)
