SUMMAH!

Family vacation is the best thing for the sunshine soul, I'll tell you what! Yesterday Hyrum and I came home from our week long Jordan family vacation to Bear Lake, UT. The lake was blue the cabin was beautiful and the clouds hung heavily over us. The clouds didn't get in our way of having a good time. There was 14 of us up there so that always calls for a good time. We played nertz and held babies and had a blast!!! We caught up with each other and cooked for one another, rode bikes together, went through boot camp and got sunburn together.
We visited a HUGE cave where Kermit the frog and the 7 dwarfs lived. Not to mention the devil had an office there too. It was amazing. Then we went for a hike to a glacier lake, but never made it cause the clouds came in again. The drive up was worth it though, BEAUTIFUL scenery! The lake was fun and cold. The kids loved jumping off rocks and swimming in the cold blue lake. We rented jet skis and Hyrum experienced them for the first time, and let me tell you, my husband is fearless. I threw him off on his first ride (ON ACCIDENT, I PROMISE!) and he lost his sunglasses. All he did was laugh the whole time he was flying off the machine:) Then he got out on his own and tore up the lake!
We loved being with family for a week, and wish we could all be together all the time. I would post pictures to prove that this blissful happiness really did occur, but, I lost my camera. So, we will update after we can find it:)
As for the new home that I have neglected to post about...WE LOVE IT!!! It has been so fun to learn new things together as home owners. The house is perfect and has everything we could ever ask for. I'm still working on decorating but it will be done sooner or later:)

ONE WEEK LEFT!

One week from today we will be moving into our new home!!!! Hyrum has been so sweet and has done about 90% of the packing, bless his heart. I cant wait! I hope our new neighbors bring us cookies and brownies and buckets of red vines. If they don't I think I will. Minus one house down the street cause the renters at the house have trashed the yard, so I'm mad at them and I will just key their cars...jk...kinda:) I'm excited to move the furniture and paint and vacuum stairs!! As for the outdoors, we are gonna do as much as we can (or shall I say as much as we can afford) and that means I can be outside doing yard work and get a tan!!! (You hear that Laura? You help me with the yard you will get tan...TAN! That word is music to your ears)
So everyone get your BBQing flip flop summah groove on and COME OVER!
We'll post pictures after I figure out where to put everything:)

MOTHERS DAY

Happy mothers day to my wonderful mother! She's my best friend, the best mother and a fantastic Grandmother.
Mother-in-law Bonnie is so talented and so amazing in so many ways! Happy Mothers Day to our beautiful moms!

SUUUGAR

For those of you who know me, and you don't have to know me very well to know this, but I have a problem. I LOVE CANDY, I LOVE SUGAR. I've always known that I could eat more candy, fruit roll-ups, fruit snack etc then anyone in the whole wide world. So, the time has come for me to cut back. Hence that I didn't say I'm going to STOP, but yes, I will cut back. Today I wanted candy so I went to the gym instead. After the gym, I ate dinner. But whats dinner without dessert? Usually there is just no such thing in my world, but today there was. I was so proud of myself...no sugar candy today! I am going to limit myself from now on. So here's to new years resolutions 4 almost 5 months late!

Soon to be??

We put an offer on this house and it was excepted, HURRAY!!! We know its not ours yet. But, we hope that after inspection and the this and that's are done then we can move in on our closing date of June 5Th! The yard needs some fixing up, but that can be fixed with h20 and TLC. We'll keep everyone updated!

EASTER

We're a little late on the Easter blog. We are so lucky to have family up here who feed us and make us feel so welcome in Boise. Laura,Hyrum and I headed to the Agnews (my sister-in-laws family) and had so much fun watching Austin and Dylan run around looking for Easter eggs. Then we headed inside for a yummy ham dinner and some great conversation. We're so excited for spring to be here and bring on the heat summer!

Please wear responsibly

IT'S SUMMAH TIME! Time to bring out the flip flops (or maybe you have already been wearing them since Christmas) and start working on those flip flop tan lines:) But, be warned, if you wear your sandals as pictured, you first, live in Utah and second, you will be fined by the fashion police! ENJOY THE SUNSHINE!
