well, I have been home for about a week and a half and I have about another week and half til Josh gets here, so I thought I'd jsut update with things I've done so far...

My family attened Gen and KC's wedding up in the tower at Rice Eccles stadium. It had a beautiful view, good food, an amazing cake, dancing, and the best company-family. Congrats to Gen and KC!!
Maddy had her 9th birthday. It was a day of fun. I was able to take my sisters out to color me mine a cuple days after to ahve a fun day with the girls. They painted a "special plate" for Josh and I, and we painted a surprise spoon rest for my mom- it is what she was asking for...
This week my mom has been running around getting the girls to their summer camps. Maddy is in a soccer camp, and Mckay is in surf camp. I took this same surf camp when I was her age and loved it, so it is a lot of fun to see her out there in the waves enjoying it jsut as I did. This is a picture from her first day where she was able to get on a couple of waves and do well for having it be her first time out.
I hope everyone is enjoying their summer!!

Bear Lake Pictures

well, finally, I have some pictures. I am home now for a couple of weeks before the wedding so I am stealing these pictures from my mom's camera, since I have trouble with technology and can't seem to keep my camera working. Anyways, there are some fun ones from Bear Lake. I loved being out on the boat and spending time with my family. Tubing is really a lot harder than it looks, but it was way fun and I would love to go again soon. I feel like I should have pictures of something else, but I can't think of them now, so here are these...

I love how pretty the water is!

It was fun watching the boys being crazy.

I'm pretty sure this wasn't considered a crazy ride... but the googles were a must for my sisters
This is my mom flipping out of the tube

I'm pretty sure Maddy cried when Andy and I stood up
This is before my arms died of exhaustion and my entire body drowned in water.

My weekend...

I had a great weekend!! My family came up and we stayed at Bear Lake! On the fourth we went boating/ tubing. It was way fun, but I was also way sore the next day. Of course that didn't stop me from going the next day just as much. Josh was able to come up on the fifth and hang out with my family. We had a lot of fun playing games, being on the boat, and talking with everyone. The lake was absolutely beautiful. Also, my wonderful family threw me a surprise bridal shower!! It was totally unexpected, but way fun. I love my family so much and I am so grateful for the planning they did for me. They are so wonderful! Anyways, I got some good pictures... on my mom's camera... but I don't have them uploaded to my computer, so hopefully I will have those soon. SMILE!!!
