Manti Pageant

Rob and I went down to the Manti Pageant Saturday night w/ our friends Kenny and his fiance Krista.  We have so much fun w/ them and are so happy that Kenny found a super cute girl that we love to have around!  I've been to the pageant before, many years ago, and it was raining, so I don't remember much from it.  This time was better though.  It was good.  The temple is beautiful and it was fun to be there and watch the beautiful stories!  

Kenny, Krista, Rob and I

Also, an update on our little garden.  It's coming along fabulously.  We have 3 cute little tomatoes growing,  here's one
and one little pepper, when this one grows up it will turn yellow, yummy!  I'm so excited to eat these little guys, but it will be kind of sad because I've been helping them grow.  

Father's Day

Happy Father's Day Dad!  I love my dad so so much!  Yesterday we had stake conference, and our stake president did a tribute to all father's and I just cried through it all as I was thinking of my dad.  I really want to get a copy of it.  My dad is such a good man and I'm so blessed to have him as a dad.  Him and my mom are tripping in Oregon/Washington/Canada right now, so we weren't able to see him, but they are having fun.  My dad always expected a lot of us, but I'm so glad because he's a big hand in how we've turned out.  My favorite is that he would always tease us that he was excited for when we would get married and leave, but now he gets so excited when any of us come home.  I'm glad to know he really does like us kids. :)

Love you Dad!

My Have dones

I found this list on an amazing woman's blog and thought I'd post it on mine, here are some of the crazy and not so crazy things I've done.

We've been having fun!

We really have been having fun the last few weeks.  Just haven't gotten that many pictures.  Last weekend I went shopping w/ my sister-in-law and her kids.  I was entertaining Tytan while she was getting some shopping done for herself and we made it to the toy section in Kohls where Tytan found some train books.  He loves trains!  Next week we're going to the Zoo, so I'll have pictures from that.

This weekend we were over at my parent's and Rob was saying he needed to get a haircut and my mom offered to do it.  Rob is extremely particular about his hair, and I was laughing so hard because he couldn't say no to his mother-in-law.  My mom of course did a good job and Rob was happy with it, but he was a little bit nervous. 
We also put a little garden in.  Our little place had a sandbox at one time, but we laid some topsoil over it and got some tomatoes, zucchini, peppers, and jalepenos planted.  I got some basil too (I totally love fresh basil!), but we ran out of room, so it's on a pot on our patio.   Rob did great planting our garden.  He's such a good little farmer.
I got a fun little wand to water my plants with.  I'm really excited to get our garden going.  We just LOVE tomato sandwiches in the summer!  My mouth is watering just thinking of it.
We also decided we were big enough to handle a car payment (and the jeep was becoming more temperamental) so after months of doing research on which car would be best for us, we decided on the Hyundai Tucson.  A shout out goes to Murdock Hyundai of Logan for getting us a great deal and helping us get through this monumental purchase. :)  If you're looking for a car, go see Bruce there and tell them we sent you.  He seriously was awesome!  So here it is, the exact car we got.  We're big kids now!
