The Farm at Thanksgiving Point


Me and Justice met our friends Jen and her son Ryker, and Nicole and her girls McKynlee and Baylie for lunch today at JCW's in Lehi. After lunch we headed over to The Farm at Thanksgiving Point. The kids had fun checking out all of the farm animals and of course the pony ride. We have tons of fun hanging out with these guys and can't wait to do something again!

All Caught Up

Ever since Talon and Cardon came home from the hospital, Avon with Welcome Baby has been visiting us once a month to check the babies progress. She comes to our house and weighs and measures them, and made sure they were doing what they should at the stage they were at. She always compared them at their adjusted age, which was their actual 40 week due date, which was Nov. 14. They were born on Oct. 14, she wanted to make sure they were at least doing what they should at their adjusted age, which was one month younger. They were always doing more that that, and she was always impressed. Yesterday was their last Welcome Baby appointment. Avon said that they are completely caught up where they should be and there was no reason for her to check them anymore. She and their pediatrician both say that just by looking at them, you would never even know that they were preemies. I am so glad that they are doing so well! I cannot believe that they will be one in October. Thank you Avon we had so much fun getting to know you and we will miss seeing you every month!

Fun Pictures of the Boys

I thought I would post some pictures of the boys so you could see how big they are all getting! I can't believe that Justice starts Pre-School next month. He is so excited and asks me almost everyday when it starts. It will be so good for him to go and interact with other kids his age. He told me the other day, Mom I need friends. It was so cute, because we just moved in with my parents and doesn't have friends in the neighborhood. Talon and Cardon are 10 months today! I can't even believe that. We had a coed softball game last night and I was thinking about what I was doing at this time last year and I was big and pregnant in the bleachers cheering for Brad. The twins crawl all over the place and pull up to anything possible. They have started to crawl up the stairs, which is super scary! I am so thankful for my 3 handsome sons and the joy they bring into my life!

5 YEAR ANNIVERSARY

Our 5 year Wedding Anniversary was on August 1st. We were able to have a little getaway, thanks to my parents watching the kids.

Yeah, I know this is a rare shot of me and Brad together! We went to Snowbird and stayed overnight. We had a good time together, and it was not long enough, but we made the best of a quick trip!


This is us riding the lift up to do the zip line and alpine slide. They were fun, but not quite the excitement we had hoped for! We needed something a little faster and longer, but it was still fun.

Here we are pulling up our little sleds to go down the alpine slide.

Here comes Brad hauling butt down the track! He was a regular old pro!LOL

We rode the Peruvian Chair Lift up the mountain next. It was really pretty and was a nice opportunity to just enjoy one anothers company. It was about a ten minute ride, and at the top there was a tunnel through the mountain that took you to the other side where you could see into American Fork Canyon. This is a picture of us after we went through the tunnel. Another rare shot:)


Well we headed back through the tunnel and there was some sweet music playing, I think it was a little old school Janet Jackson. Well as you can see we got a little goofy! There was no one else in the tunnel, so we let our true colors come out I guess! How embarrassing! Just kidding we were having a blast and laughing pretty hard.


Yep, Brad found the bed! It was a fold down one, we thought that was funny! We drove down the canyon later that night and went to dinner at The Olive Garden, wandered the mall, and went to The Dark Night. That morning we got up, checked out and went to the breakfast buffet, stuffed out guts and headed home. We had so much fun and can't wait to do something like this again!
I am so thankful to have a wonderful husband. Brad and I have been together for almost 9 years now, and I fall in love with him more and more everyday! He means the world to me and I don't know what I would do without him. He is truly my best friend. I am looking forward to spending many more years together! We were able to go to the temple with my sister Jodie and her husband Corey today. It was such a neat day. It was nice to be at the temple wit
h Brad and remember our special day 5 years ago! Congrats Jo and Corey, we are so happy for the decisions you have made in your lives
I love you Brad! Happy Anniversary!!
