Arches

Last month Justin and I went to Arches with my Mom and Dad. It was the first time I had been (or at lease that I can remember). I thought I would share some fun pics from the trip.

Good Times in Delta

For all those that don't know, Justin's brother Jerod and his family live in China. They were in Utah the past couple of weeks, and we were lucky enough to spend lots of time with them. We had lots of fun in Delta over conference weekend with the family.


Hattie and Liam getting to know Helo when we first arrived. They are so stinkin' cute!


Liam was very tired the fist day we were there. This is him sleeping at the dinner table. SO funny!


Hyde and Hattie had fun with Ann Marie pulling taffy on Sunday in between conference sessions.


Hattie is pretending to be asleep during conference. (she was trying to be like Jake (Justin's brother) who was sleeping.

Magnus was not excluded from the fun. He got to do some crazy jumping in his jumper. He's so cute!


Liam showed off his skills with his "sleeping bunny" act.

We even had time for family pictures.
After we were done taking pictures of the kids, Hyde promptly let go of Magus, and poor Magnus did a face plant into the grass.

2010 SUMMER! (in pictures)

1. Fireworks for the 24th of July. My favorite time of the year.
2. Helo in Delta, after playing too much outside.
3. Helo helping with the new paint job in the living room and kitchen.
4. David at the park.
5. David's blessing day on July 4th.
6. Magnus' blessing day on July 4th as well. (sadly both blessings were at the exact same time so me and Justin had to split up to attend them.)
7. We work too much in the summer. This was one of my favorite buffets this year. I thought the flowers were pretty.
8. The birth sampler cross stitch project that I finished for David.
9. A new bed spread. The quilt top was given to us by Sherida. Me and Justin tied in one afternoon, and my mom helped finish it.
10. "What?! I cant hear you! I have something in my ear." Mom and Anna coloring on Sunday night.
11. Olives!
12. Magnus' new helmet!
13. I won 2nd place at the Handcart Days Art Show in the needlework division.
14. At the Dinosaur Museum on my birthday (June 7th)


Justin and I had a wonderful summer and I finally got around to blogging about it. And it probably will not happen again until school is out. Justin and I are once again in school. I'm still slowly finishing my bachelors degree at Weber, and Justin just started the Master of Tax program at Weber. We hope to be somewhat sane by the time we get done.

Painting & hanging pictures

About a month ago Megan and I repainted our living room and kitchen. We choose a three tone color or Darker gray, lighter gray, and white, well we were hoping for gray. It ended up that the gray turned quite blue. Well a few weeks ago we finally hung up pictures. Enjoy!

Megan's artwork

This was hard to do, but we really like the result, Its fun to have a lot of pictures on the wall.

David

May 3rd, we got another nephew. David William Wilson. He was born at St. Marks and he was 6lbs 4oz, and 18 inches long. Hes so cute.

Magnus

At 5:39am Easter morning, Justin and I got a new nephew. Magnus Crane Parkinson.
Magnus is 7lbs 15oz, and 18.5 inches long. After many detours and freeway closers we finally made it to Salt Lake Regional to see him this morning, and to pick up Bridgett (the big sister puppy).

Such A Good Helper

Justin and I bought a new computer chair, and Helo was more than happy to help assemble it.
