God Be With You Till We Meet Again

Brian's Brother Danny and his wife Angelyn just moved to Germany. This is where they are stationed for the next 3 years. We will miss them! I hope they have many fun adventures and have lots of stories to tell us when we see them again. WE LOVE YOU GUYS!!!

Baptism

Brian's youngest Brother asked him to baptize him on Saturday. It was such a great Baptism and very short. I loved it! I'm so happy that his youngest brother made the choice to be baptized. It was so nice to be in Vernal with all of the family!

Pictures

For Trae's 3 year picture I went and took them myself. I'm not real impressed with most places that do photography, they don't like what you suggest and so they don't do it. I've had some crappy experiences so I want to try it myself. I think I did a decent job. Trae was so good, and I was able to get a few good shots. I love her and can't believe that she is nearly 3. She is growing into a beautiful girl. We are so happy to have her in our family and are excited to watch her grow and learn. HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY BABY GIRL!!!Adi let me take a few of her with Trae. They were both so cute. I want to go out again and take more photos of my beautiful girls!!!

Weekend Fun

This weekend was super crazy but so much fun. Friday night we went up to the Heber Valley Camp for a Berrett Family Reunion. We got there about 9ish and then hung out until bed. We did get to see some of the meteor shower. I can't say it was worth watching but we did get to see a few good ones go by. We did have a good scare with Adi though. She had been climbing threw the ladder on the bunk beds when all of a sudden she fell. All we heard was the crash and the sound of something breaking, the floor is cement and I was sure she was seriously hurt. We rushed to her made sure she was able to move before I picked her up to asses the damage. When I picked her up we noticed a small deck of cards in a plastic case. The case is what we heard breaking. Amazingly enough she was fine. I was more shaken up than she was. I was asking her basic questions like where is dad and who am I? Stuff I knew she could answer. She answered them perfectly. A few minutes later we saw a bit of blood on the top of her head where she had landed on the case. She had a good scrape it just broke the surface enough for it to bleed. We watched her for a little while just to be sure that she was fine about five minutes later she was running around the room again. I was still shaken up and quite worried all the rest of the night. The next morning Laura (Brian's mom) took the girls for us and let us sleep in until breakfast was ready, It was so nice of her. After breakfast was done and cleaned up we went to the challenge course. We had a ton of fun. Our first challenge was getting all of us over a wall.


we did a few more courses and then we were able to do the the tightrope and zip line. Of course this was everybody's favorite.Brian wasn't able to stay and do the challenge courses with us so as soon as he got back we loaded all of our stuff in our car and took off. We also brought his little sister back so she could stay with us for the week. It was already after 4 and we were supposed to be at a dinner at 5 with one of our home teachers and his family. We knew we would be late so we made sure to call them and let them know we were going to be late. We got there just after 5. We had a really great dinner and really enjoyed getting to know them better. After our dinner we went to my sister Alisha's for a movie sleepover night. We didn't leave our house until nearly 10. We had to stop by walmart quickly and then we were on our way. When we got there we put the girls in their beds and watched Leap Year. I thought it was a cute movie, however I'm not sure what Brian thinks. He doesn't particularly care for chick flicks. The movie finished some time around 1 and then we all went to bed. Sunday morning we got up and ate something then lounged for a while. Adi needed to be changed and Trae told me she want to do it. Surprisingly enough she did it all by herself. I only had to help her lift Adi's bum so she could get the diaper under it. I was surprised at how still Adi laid there and let Trae change her. She even threw the diaper away! She has asked me a few times now if she can change Adi. I love it!
We went to church with Alisha and I was so amazed at how well Trae went to nursery and she stayed the whole time, I don't think she even cried. I went in there between classes to take her potty and then left Adi too. They both were so good. I really enjoyed our lesson in Relief Society on the Priesthood. After church we got home and made lunch/dinner. While dinner was cooking I made snickers. You can get the recipe here. They are so good but very sweet! We played Settlers of Catan for a while than Alisha, Janica and I watched Dear John while the guys kept playing. We left around 11 to go home.It was so fun being able to spend time with Family and getting to know new friends.

4 Years

August 4 2010 was our 4 year wedding anniversary. We dropped our kids off at the Olsen's and spent a few days alone. We had a really good time! I love spending all day with Brian. I Love him so much and I excited we get to spend forever together!

Spain

What an amazing experience I was able to have getting to know this Group of Spanish Men. They were here for the Springville Folk Fest. It was so much fun being able to see them preform as well as many other countries too. I was able to spend a week getting to know them thanks to my mom and sisters housing them. To read more of what we did go to Alisha's blog. It has the day to day activities and lots of pictures.
Spain and Portugal

Me and Vonson (He's from France)

What fear?

Earlier this month my nephew was baptized and after we went to Salem Ponds to party. It was a blast! I'm so thankful we have such a wonderful family that is supportive of things. While we were there we were able to join another family for their giant slip-in-slide. Adi just loved it! She would smile this big every time she went down. She hated to have to wait for her turn even. She has no fear!

Trae like it but wasn't as into as Adi. I love that our girls love to play in the water it gives me an excuse to do so as well!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY LOVE

Happy Birthday to my wonderful husband. We are going to Lagoon today with his family it will be fun. Last night we dropped the girls off with my sister so we have the weekend to ourselves. We went to see Eclipse and then to dinner and the Greek place on state street. It was really great to have a great date with Brian. I'm so happy that we are still able to go on dates and really enjoy spending time with just us. I love you Brian and I hope that you have the most fabulous birthday. You are an amazing husband and father and I know that our girls just adore you! LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU!!!

Birthday Boy

This is a shout out to my bother! I hope you have a wonderful birthday! I know you probably don't read this but that's ok! HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY BIG BRO!!

Friends

Our friends from Austin were in Utah visiting some family and we were able to meet up with them just before they had to catch their flight. They were some of the best friends we had in Austin. It was really great to be able to see them again and their little one. She was born after we moved back to Utah so it was the first time we met her. She was so cute all through lunch. I'm so glad we had the chance to see them while they were here!

HAPPY BIRHTDAY

I know this is a few days early but I just wanted to say Happy birthday to my nephew. He is such a good kid! HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUD!


These pictures were taken by my sister. I edited them a little. Isn't he a cute kid?

Toothpaste Coloring!

Last Sunday our family went down to the Peterson's for dinner and games. While the adults were playing games we thought all the kids were watching a movie Alisha went to get something out of her computer room and then turn off the light in the bathroom and found Trae painting her bathroom with toothpaste. It was so funny. She has never done this at home, thankfully! However I'm glad that it was just toothpaste. It could have been so many other things. She had this sad look in her eyes when Alisha caught her, it was so cute. The things kids do can be so annoying or frustrating but I just had to sit back and laugh at this one. I was just shocked it had even happened!

Jenelise and Daniel

I'm so happy for Jen and Daniel and I hope the best for them! Here are a few pictures from their wedding.

Vision in White

A couple of weekends ago I was able to go with one of my best friends to get her Bridals done. (She's more of a little sister)I was excited that she asked me to go. Here are a few pictures that I took.
