Sorry

I just have to say sorry for not posting much lately. There really hasn't been anything blog worthy going on until this weekend. Just wanted you to know we're still here plugging along...

So here's an early Happy 4th of July to you!! Celebrate safely and I'm grateful for the free nation we have now due to the sacrifice of so many before.

Jewelry Give Away!!!

One of my friend's are giving away some really cute jewelry on her blog! We have purchased both the rings and earrings and always get comments on how cute they are. Hannah especially loves the earrings. Here's a link to her site so you can go enter too!

Scary Moment

We were at the Walmart next to the apartment building where this man was. I realize now we were in his line of sight and that's why the police were surrounding the area where I had parked. I am so grateful to be watched over and to not have any shots fired our way. We were literally under 50 ft from his balcony. Nothing like a dose of mortality just going to the store for some hot dogs for a bbq tonight. I'm grateful to be safe and sound at home.

Goblin Valley, June 2009

Here is the much anticipated pictures of our camping trip to Goblin Valley as well as a couple shots from Little Wild Horse Canyon that Marc and the kids went on. Hannah was so tired at the end Marc would catch her trying to sleep on the ground... It was really cute. We had a wonderful time and can't wait till we go back.

Update...

We went to Goblin Valley this past weekend and it was sooooo much fun. We had hoped friends could have come with us but something came up with all that we invited so it ended up being just us and my mom. The kids loved hiking everywhere they could and the goblins at the park. They must have hiked several miles before the weekend was up. I got a bite from something that's turning out to be an ordeal... I'm thinking some kind of spider, we'll see, right now it really hurts and looks terrible but I'm in the wait and see mode. I will post pictures as soon as I can get the camera going.

Marc is really suffering right now, he's passing a kidney stone and he's miserable. I'm praying it passes soon. He did say he has a new appreciation for me and what child birth was like... Good thing I went natural to understand his pain. Althogh, I've heard stones can be worse than childbirth. Let's hope I never find out... Wish us both luck!

Father's and Son's camp out...

Marc and Jaidyn went on our ward's father's and son's camp out in May and it was a ton of fun for them. Jaidyn had a blast and here's some fun pictures!

Oquirrh Mountain Temple

This past Saturday we went as a primary to visit the Oquirrh Mountain Temple open house and it was so much fun. We were able to take Hannah and Jaidyn to the Draper Temple so they were already familiar with what you do in the temple and the rooms. So when we were at the temple on Saturday Hannah was reminding us what each room was and what we did in them. It was so neat to be there as a family as well as with the primary. I'm so grateful for my calling in the primary and love it. Here's some pictures of the fun day!

What do you do when it's raining outside?

You play in it of course!

Hmmm, what's that?

LIMBO, LIMBO, LIMBO!

Nothing really...

There's not a whole lot going on this week other than I've been loving the thunder storms! Thunder is one of my favorite sounds, it's so relaxing to me when accompanied by rain.

I've got some health things maybe going on, I went to the Dr. not too long ago and found my white blood cell count was up high and he had me take some antibiotics which I just finished this weekend. Well, I have a lump in my throat which has been there but has now been painful twice now for a few days at a time and I went to the Instacare up here and they tested my blood again and found my white blood cell count was still up high so I need to go into my regular Dr. and see what to do now. I'm nervous, but then again it could be nothing too which I'm hopeful for.

Marc decided against having "surgery" to have his kidney stones sound wave blasted. We just don't have the money so he's going to see what natural things he can do to make it easier to pass. Aren't we a fun bunch?

Hannah and Jaidyn are continuing to grow and change, Hannah is learning attitude already and it's been hard to deal with lately. I have a hard time handling it well and I've made mistakes... Jaidyn is growing so fast, where has time gone? When did he grow into the little man he is today? He's so sweet right now and I'm relishing in his sweetness. They've both gone through some growth spurts in the last bit, which is amazing to watch.

That's all I have for now, I'll keep you posted on my Dr. visits. Much love!
