Quilt

I started a quilt 2 YEARS ago. It has been an on going project. I started the summer of 2010, didn't get very far. Then in 2011 I did some. I started to work on it again in 2012, but I messed up the sewing machine some how so I gave up. Well my mom came up to visit and it FINALLY got done. Thanks so much mom for finishing it for me. (And it only took her 2 days!)

This picture was taken in 2010. When I first started.

Working hard, THANK YOU MOM!


FINALLY FINISHED!!! YAY

June 16, 2012

Tyson and I had a pretty productive day. We woke up at 8 ish and got ready to go to a garage sell to look at baby clothes for Abigail. We didn't have much luck. We then went to his parents house and washed his car. Once that was done we came back home and I pulled weeds while Tyson mowed the grass. Tyson then went and got a hair cut and I made my 4th of July wreath. Tyson had a girl he worked with get married today so we then went to her reception. We also had a date at the bowling alley where we had dinner. Because we are boring people we went and hung out with his parents. It felt so good outside. After talking for a while we decided to go for a fourwheeler ride. Once we got back his sister came home and we hung out with them. It was so nice to just be able to hang out all day. We don't get to do that very much during the week because Tyson usually works all day!

Crafty

I went to the DI the other day looking for jars to make something I found on Pinterest. Well they didn't have any. Instead I found some block letters.(USA) I decided I could use them to make a wreath. Tyson and I went to JoAnn's and found some burlap and stars that I could use to go with it. I think it turned out to be pretty cute!

I just have one problem, because there is so much weight on just one side it won't hang straight. So Tyson is going to be smart and fix it for me!!!(He just doesn't know it yet!)

Summer Games

On the 14th Cedar City held the Opening Ceremony for the Summer Utah Games. Tyson and I went with Thayne and Jenny! Nitro Circus came and did a show and also a music group from Provo, Utah called Remix preformed. Nitro circus was totally worth it to watch, although I was nervous the whole time. Motorcycles, skateboarder, bikers, and crazy stunt people all did kinds of tricks.








Remix, we didn't have the best seat so we had to watch it on the big screen





Skateboarder on bigger wheels.

These two went and did a jump... They didn't quite make it the first time. But did better the second time. The front controlled the gas and the back controlled the brakes. (Something like that) 


They also jumped on a garbage can. And the person in the wheel chair also did some jumping!


Motorcycles jumping

This kid in on his way to London for the Olympics. He runs for SUU Track. It was a pretty big deal!

Fireworks at the end!!!










































































































































































































  









































Also, Happy Flag Day
But Most important....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JARED!!! 
He is on Trek and was not allowed any electronic devices. I want to at least let him know he was thought of on his special day!!! (Too bad he was out in the HOT desert walking at least 5-10 miles!!! )

Ashlynn's Blessing

Tyson and I headed down to Mesquite. Ashlynn was being blessed on the 3rd so we went down on Friday to hang out. On Saturday we went to the Rec Center to go swimming. Rose and Layne came down for the blessing. It was so fun to hang out with them too.


Sunday was the blessing. Ashlynn is a little cutie and her dress was beautiful also.


My little shadow! She wouldn't go to anyone for a while. And she wanted me to help her do everything. It's a good thing she is cute!








I don't know why it turned.

This one too..


We had lunch/dinner out at my moms house. Once everyone was gone Abigail and my mom were trying to get a good picture of Ashlynn. Katelee and I were playing with the fan and a balloon. She thought it was pretty cool.



I think someone else was taking a picture and their flash messed it up. But isn't she just a little cutie?!

Memorial Weekend

Memorial weekend didn't start off very busy. Tyson had to work Saturday so we couldn't really do much. Although we ended up going to Chili's for dinner so that we had something to do. And then on Sunday he had to teach in Priesthood so we couldn't skip out on church. After church is when all the fun started. We headed out to Minersville to decorate Tyson's grandparents and relatives graves. While we were out there I got a call from Bailey and she said they were going camping. Tyson had wanted to go camping for the longest time, so we jump right on that idea! We finished visiting with Tyson's family and then got everything thrown together and we were on our way down to Mesquite. We ended up going out to Whitney Pockets. We had hamburgers and hot dogs for dinner and left over Key Lime pie from lunch earlier that day that Tyson made for his family.

Camping

 Monday morning we got up and ate breakfast. We had sausage and egg burritos that was so yummy. Food always seems to taste better when your camping! We packed everything up and didn't realize it was only like 8:30 am. It was getting hot though so we didn't really want to stay! Right around the corner was a dam that I didn't remember ever going to see so we decided to look at it. It was more like a retaining water thingy. But pretty cool.

 We stopped at my parents house to see what my dad was doing. Of course he wasn't doing much just work around the house so we headed up to Mesquite to hang out with Abigail.
We went to the Rec Center to go swimming but it was kinda cold and Katelee didn't really want to do anything but sit on the edge and put her feet in the water. We then went up to the splash pad because we thought it would be warmer. It wasn't...



Tyson is so good with Katelee

After showering we went to Junior's house for a BBQ. And then went to Josh and Bailey's to watch the Bachelorette. We had such a fun weekend and it was fun to be able to be with both of our families.

Thanks for the pictures, Abigail!

I'm thankful for all who serve and have served our country so that we can enjoy our freedom!
