Lehi Round Up Days 2008

We went to all three parades this year for Round Up Days. Matthew came down with strep throat and missed the kids parade and the rodeo but was better (thanks to a shot in the bum) the next day for the big parade. The kids came home with tons of candy!

Blog it forward!

I was part of Kandace's Blog It Forward (She made me 2 beautiful 12x12 digital scrapbook pages for Lindseys book!!) and so FINALLY I am getting around to doing it. (Truth is I haven't felt very crafty since having the baby) Here's how it works: the first three people to leave a comment saying they want to participate will receive a handmade gift from me within the next three months. The only stipulation is that you have to have a blog, so you can do the same, and you have to pay it forward by sending a handmade gift to three other people. So, who out there wants to pay it forward with me???

12 years!!

Bryan and I celebrated our 12th wedding anniversary on Sunday the 22nd! We went to The Roof on Saturday night. We were going off of 2 hours of sleep from the night before, so we were tired! (We had gone to Girls Camp on Friday and got home at 3:30am Saturday morning, then had a yard sale at our house and Ty's baseball game) We were so tired driving home after dinner. Then on Sunday we took the kids up to temple square to see the temple we were married in, and walk around the grounds. We had a great time. I can't believe it has been 12 years! It has been the BEST years of my life!!

Trying out her swimsuit

We went to the Children's Discovery Garden at Thanksgiving Point today. We decided we would bring Lindsey's swimsuit (Thanks to The Northrup's!) and see how she would like the water. She didn't like all the splashing, so we hung out on the blanket instead.

Matching Dresses

I bought these dresses for the girls before Lindsey was born. Since they are 10 years apart, I am not sure how often I will find matching dresses. Lauren loves it now, but she may not in a few years!

Lindsey's Stroller Ride

Lauren took Lindsey for a ride in her stroller this last week. We put her in without her carseat. I can't believe how big she is getting!

Lucky Husband = Lucky Me!!

Yesterday Bryan went to his company's annual Vendor Golf Tournment in Midway. He has gone several years in the past and has loved it. They feed them really well and since he loves to golf it works out to be a great day off work! I had no idea that they have prizes to give away because he has never come home with them in the past. Well, that all changed yesterday. His group won of the smaller drawings which was a $30 Visa gift card for each of them. Then after they did all the smaller drawings, they put all the names back into the pot and drew for the big prize, which was a silver iPod Nano for everyone in your group ( 4 people) Well... Bryan's group won that too! So, lucky for me he already has an iPod which is nicer than the nano, so he gave it to me. Just last week I was wishing a had a nicer MP3 player. Mine is just a basic one with only one playlist. He got it all set up for me and it is ready to go. I love it!

Lindsey's Birth Announcement

I am way late posting this, but I thought I better show it. Here is the birth annoucement that we sent out to family that live out of town. They were pretty easy to make. I was happy with how they turned out. Ok, maybe it was pointless to scan it in. I can't get it to appear any larger. Oh, well you get the idea! You can click on it to see the detail.

Happy Birthday Lauren!

Lauren turns 10 years old today! Crazy to think that I am old enough to have a child that old. We are so glad we have Lauren in our family. She is a wonderful big sister. She helps me so much. She is a lot of fun to have around! We hope you have a great day Lauren!
