What we have been up to........

Here we go this is going to be a MEGA post because I have been such a slacker! I really hope I can be better about updating our blog. :) First of all I took the blog off private so that my mom and my mother-in-law can see the pictures without too much hastle.

Well I had my 24th birthday on June 20. It was a great day. Andy totally suprised me with a book I had been wanting and a jogging stroller. He took my sister to help him find the right stroller and she said "We went to EVERY store in Cache Valley so we could find the PERFECT stroller for you." He is so cute! Then he took me to The Proposal and out for ice cream. It was so much fun to go out on a date with him. It seems like we have not been to a movie for so long. It was an awesome day! Thanks Andy I love your guts!!!

Our Next Event was the 24th of July celebration that they have every year in Hyde Park. We live right by the church so we get front row seats to the fireworks. We invited friends and family to come for dinner and fireworks. Andy's brother and his wife started the tradition when they lived a couple houses up from us. They moved so now we get to continue with the tradition. We have so much fun just hanging out and enjoying friends and family. Here are a few pictures from the night. We had a lot of friends and family there that I did not get pictures of because I was slacking once again.....suprise I know. ;)

My mom had a swim party for the grandkids on the 24th also. Here are a few pictures of all the cousins playing together. Thanks grandma for all you do for the kids!!














One night after Andy got off work we decided to go fishing. It was so much fun. Noah even was entertained for a little bit. :) We did not catch anything unfortunetly.. :(

Our next adventure we went to Oregon for a family trip. It was a blast. We rented a beach house and stayed for a week. It was so relaxing and fun. We went to the aqaurium, to the tillamook cheeseplant, air museum, and to the beach many times to look for sand dollars, star fish, muscles. It was so much fun and I really hope that we can go back next year too.

Here are just a few pics I got of Noah. He is growing up so fast! He is the best little boy every. We have a nightly routine were Andy gives him his bath and dresses him and gives him his bottle then goes to bed. Well the other night I wanted to do all of that so I did and by the time I got to rocking him to sleep he wanted to just play....What the crap?!? Then he started to cry so Andy comes in to Noah's room and takes him and it was like someone flipped a switch to the cute little stink! He went right to sleep. Not one little peep out of him! I was so mad! But at the same time I am so grateful that Andy helps me and does all he does! He is such a great dad! I love it!! Everyday I am so grateful that I married Andy! I truly am a spoiled girl being married to him. Thanks Andy for all you do for our little family!

Stace gave him an oreo and this is what happened

He is obsessed with flip flops for some reason

(BTW that is Oreo on his face not dirt. ;) )

He loves oatmeal in the morning and I let him feed himself the last bit. haha

Me and my mom were having lunch at my house and he got one of those puff crackers

stuck perfectly on his face. We thought it was so cute! haha

Well that is it so far.... oh and we just put our house up for sell this last week. We are selling so we can get a bigger home that we hope to stay in for the next 20-30 years. So if any of you know anyone looking for a house send them our way. We put it for sell by owner then if we dont sell in 3 months we will list it with an agent. I will try and be better about posting things. :)
