Bella"s Blessing Day

Bella was blessed by her daddy on June 7th in the Highlands 1st ward in Eagle Mountain, Utah. We had lots of family and friends come to support us. Bella slept most of the day. We were able to really enjoy her on her special day. She looked so beautiful in her blessing dress and I even loved the sweet headband that added a little color to all the white. She has been such a good baby and a blessing in our family's lives. The boys still love to hold and kiss her. Tyce tells me all the time, "Mom, I love her."

She is so pretty!

Go Army!

Rebecca, my good friend and hilarious neighbor called the other morning to see if we wanted to go watch a special forces team jump out of airplanes. The boys were totally excited especially when I told them we could stop at Maverik and buy donuts and chocolate milk for breakfast.

We got close enough to this helicopter that we could feel the wind from the propeller. Tyce really wanted to ride. I told him maybe someday. Even if they would have let us, I wouldn't have gotten on that thing.

We were super close to where they parachuted down. We learned by accident that we weren't supposed to go into that wheat field unless we had on a helmet. It was a really cool eperience and now the boys want to be "U.S. Army guys" instead of Jedi's (for the moment). Thanks for thinking of us Bec.

Lake Powell

I Love Lake Powell!!! What a great way to start the summer. The weather was great, the water a little cold but swimmable. A couple of showers but mostly sunny. There are so many things to do at the lake....

Jump on the houseboat.....

It was such a great vacation! I can't wait to go back in August.
