Busy Busy....

We have been so busy this summer it's crazy! We have gone camping every weekend for like a month and a half straight but it's been super fun! This weekend will be our last camping trip of the summer :( We are going to Rusty's mom's house down South in Delta. She lives on the Delta reservoir and it is so fun! We swim in the water and go riding on the boat. She also has 4 wheelers and you can ride them anywhere since it is such a small town. I am way super excited! My family is coming down too and this will be 3 years in a row that they've been able to come with us. I hope we can keep that going every year.

I don't think I have written about this yet but we are currently in the process of trying to get a house. It's in West Valley still but it is a little farther west. It's pretty much on the border of Magna and West Valley. It is a short sale home so there is no way of telling when we'll find out but we are so supposed to hear more info about it tomorrow so I hope the news is that we got it. It would be so perfect. It's a split entry 4 bedroom 1 and a half bathroom. (Hopefully if we get it we can change that to 2 full bathrooms someday.) It's 2040 square feet, kitchen, 2 living rooms 1 up 1 down, a dining room and a laundry room. Detached garage plus a shed and chicken coop behind it, covered patio, super long driveway, (not as long as my parents of course, nobody but them has a driveway that long) and probably one of the most important things, fully fenced! That will be really good for our dog Jenna. There are also already 2 dog houses back there plus my parents have one they said we could have so I know this sounds cheesy but I told Rusty we should put all 3 of them together and make a palace for her ha ha and also because someday soon if and after we get the house I want to get another dog so she can have someone to play with. She has been a little sad ever since Adam came home with us because she hasn't been getting as much attention. Since Rusty only got approved for 130 then that is what we offered. Well it's a little less than that, we had to add money for the carpet and closing costs. The people who lived in it before never cleaned up after their pets so when they moved I think the bank ripped out all the carpet in the entire house. Ya it was that bad. When we made the offer the listing price was 134,900 but they said that after we put our offer in they were gonna lower the price again. I really really really want it and hope we get it! I will really miss our ward but we are so crammed in this little apartment. We don't have a square foot left of space so we really need a change. I do still hope to hang out with all the girls from our ward though, they are way fun!

Adam is doing so good! He is my sweet little man. His such a good eater and sleeper. I am so blessed to have him in my life. He brings me so much joy, I don't even want to imagine what my life would have been without him. I never knew I could love someone as much as I love Adam! Can't forget my husband either! I am very blessed to have him also. He does so much for me and I know I don't tell him enough how much I appreciate him. I am so blessed and greatful for all of my family!


This was taken the day we got sealed together in the Salt Lake Temple February 7th 2009. My immediate family, a few cousins and Aunts and Uncles and Rusty's parents and few of his Aunts, Uncles and cousins. It was such an amazing experience. One of the best days of my life!


Same day, look at my little baby bump! I was a little over 5 months pregnant with Adam. It feels like such a long time ago!




My niece and nephews. Since this was taken I have gained 2 nephews and a niece. My brother and his wife had another baby and my sister got married and now has 2 step children. Next month I can add another nephew. My other brother and his wife will be having a baby boy. :) I can't believe how big everyone is getting! This will be the first year that more than one baby was born. I'm so glad Adam will have 2 cousins his age to play with!


I'm in picture mode today. Here are some more!

I didn't know there was a chicken coop at the house. You'll have to get tips from my dad on raising chick puppies.

Oh, and in regards to the pictures of you and your sibs, Ryan is a dork.
