Happy Birthday Baby!!!!

So Jordan's birthday was on Wednesday but we haven't had time to celebrate. We were able to go out to eat at Olive Garden, then we made a quick trip to the grocery store just in time to go to sleep an hour later then I really needed to (I get up really early for my new job as a "handyman"). We were going to celebrate tomorrow but I got a phone call tonight that my sister got special permission to bless her new baby tomorrow and Jordan has to work so I don't think it is going to happen. So I would like to say I love you Honey and Happy Birthday!!!!!

So I'm cutting it close on my monthly blog entry but this one is fun. Some of you might have heard this story already but now you get to see it. Well, my older sister Gretta had a baby recently and my mom went to New Mexico to help her with her new baby and her other kids. While my mom was there my little sister Emily asked if she could "re-due her room" my father and I assume my mother thought this meant moving furniture, but Emily and her friend Flo had other ideas.

Here is the result of Emily and Flo going down to the Garage and taking all the left over paint they could find. And then starting to paint at 10 o'clock at night with the doors and windows closed.

The work of two high 13 yr olds.















After three days of work Emily and I were able to make it look like this instead.












Emily is one gutsy kid, I love her to death but there is no way I would have ever attempted a stunt like that when I was her age. I do not envy my parents as she enters high school.

2 Years and Counting!!!

Augest 17, 2007


Yesterday was our second anniversary. Jordan took the day off and after finishing some work at home we had a BBQ with some friends. It was a really nice day and we both really enjoyed it. The only thing missing was that this was the first summer we weren't able to make it to Portland since we got married, it makes us sad but it also motivates us to work harder so we can afford to go next year.

Playing catch up

My niece Brynn was baptized on the first. Here is a family picture she is the one in the blue shirt.


I have also posted several blogs to catch up on July, so scroll down and read till you reach June.

I few random events from July

Jordan had to shave his beard, which is really sad. But here are some before and after pictures.

Before


After


And the dogs turned 6 months old on the 25th. Here is a cute picture of the dogs.

Pioneer Day

We found a Pioneer Day party at North Park. Provo has so many parks it gets a little confusing, but it was really fun to find this one.



There were some artifact recovery items on display that a scuba diving team from Utah found. Here are some of the things that survived in the ship found in the ocean by the Dominican Republic.




Here is the cannon they found, that was really cool.



Here is a tipi that had some local member's of Native American tribes there to display items and give oral histories. We missed this part because they did it earlier in the day, but the tipi was still there.



There were posters on a lot of the trees but this one was by far my favorite.



There were a lot of classic cars on display, here were some that I really liked.










Then we went to my sister Liz's house and had a fun party, but we didn't have any pictures.

July Update

4th of July

The best part of the parade was Aaron in his skirt (Kilt)




Anna, Mike and Lillie came to visit and Lillie loves the puppies. They warmed up to her after we gave her treats to feed the dogs.



On my Mom's birthday July 11th we went down to Payson to see Emily's swim meet and Aaron at the Scottish festival, but I can't find those pictures so you just have to imagine Emily doing an amazing job and being one of the fastest swimmers there and all the interesting people you would find a an event like the Scottish fest.
