4 Our First Family Photos

It really is sad that this is the first time we’ve had family pictures taken.  And it took my in-law’s 50th wedding anniversary to get them done at that!    

 

 

3 Finally!

We are avid wakeboarders who have usually logged dozen trips to the lake by now, but due to all the rain we just made it out for the first time.  It was a great day and felt so good to be out in the water and sun.  Bring on summer!

   

   

 

Our girls loved being on the boat and were so well behaved.  It is so much nicer than the past 4 years when we’ve always had a tiny baby or crawling toddler.  Allie loved hanging with her older cousins and Kylie was all bout holding the flag and eating…that kid sure does have a sweet tooth!

 

Here I am on the wakeboard and Nate on the surf board.

I AM going to get the 180 across the entire wake trick this year.  I AM! 

Nate’s sprained ankle still isn’t healed enough to wakeboard – he tried.

0 a Family Celebration

Last weekend we celebrated Nate’s parent’s 50th wedding anniversary.  Saturday included a temple sealing session for the adults, a lovely catered lunch at the Copper Mill, family photos at Mack park, and an open house for all friends and family in the evening.  I am so excited to get the pictures back, as they will be our family’s first!  We are so lame.  We only have a handful of snapshots with all 4 of us in them and even worse, we are usually dress in swim suits or Halloween costumes.  I’m so excited to have something to hang on our wall!  I’ll post them as soon as we get the CD!

 

1 Terrible Two’s

 

 

Kylie has definitely hit the terrible-two’s.

Here she is clinging to my leg as I attempt to go to a work meeting.  She seems to cry about just about anything.  Even if I give her the very thing she has just asked for.  The fits are really getting old.  About the only thing Nate and I have found that sometimes helps is to tell her to “go to your room to cry”.  Its crazy because most of the time she will wonder to her room (bawling the whole way) and shut the door behind herself.  Usually with in a few minutes she emerges all smiles and is back to old happy self.  So Weird!

0 Pumpkin Patch update

All the rain we’ve gotten has been great for the pumpkin patch.  Too bad the weeds have been drinking it up too. 

0 Growing Garden Update

Just look at my garden grow! 

It is amazing to watch. 

I spent about 6 hours tending to it last weekend though.

I researched online and decided to try out Ferrandino’s  pruning techniques.  I took me from 9am till 1pm to trim and tie up all 40 tomato plants.  I was so tired I didn’t take a picture till I went out later that evening to finish watering.  I sure hope that I get a good yield!  Right now I have about a half dozen small fruits, but I knocked a few of them off trying to prune.  Drat!
