Happy Memorial Day...

Memorial Day is always nice because it allows you to take time to remember those who have gone before. This Memorial Day we spent up in Honeyville. It was great to be with family and have an extra day where Jed didn't have to work!! We had a great time visiting with my cousing Jessica and her husband Bryan and their cute little family, Harleigh, Connor & Riatta. They stayed the night at my parents house on Friday. They currently live in Vernal and we don't get to see them that often. On Saturday, Jed, me, Tawnya, Landon & Nappy decided to go golfing...despite the forecast for rain. It ended up raining quite hard, but we had a great time. We were all froze by the end and one golf club lighter, but it was worth it! On the only hole with water, Jed decided to toss his pitching wedge right into the water. It's a good thing he has a sense of humor, because the rest of us thought it was pretty darn funny. His hands were wet and it just slipped right out. Monday turned out to be a beautiful day and we had a BBQ at my grandparents house. My dad was lucky to have all of his siblings here this year. We had a great time visiting with aunts, uncles & cousins we don't get to see that often.
I am leaving for Arizona on Saturday morning to go visit my grandparents. I'm excited to be able to see some of my family I don't get to see that often. My mom and Nappy are flying down on Friday and then Lucas and I will fly Saturday. I found so pretty cheap tickets.
These are some pictures that Tawnya took out in our yard. We were trying to keep Lucas cooled off during the hot spell. He sure had a blast playing with the hose.

Update...

I was looking at our blog today and realized it's been over a week since I wrote anything. I thought I would do an update and I then I realized there isn't much to update you on. Jed's diploma came in the mail today... I guess that means it's official. The school has obviously decided to save money by elimiating the nice display folders that they use to come in. All he got was the piece of cardstock. Thank goodness the piece of paper means something!! We'll have to go pick out frame to display it in.
Since Tawnya has not been working, we have done quite a bit of stuff together. She went with me today to run a few errands. Last week we did the frame project. I think they turned out dang cute! I want to make some more, but I don't have any more room! It makes it fun when the picture/person is cute too.
Lucas has been wearing me out! He is so full of energy and just goes and goes and goes. I just get one room cleaned and he's off destroying another one. He's so funny. If you tell him you are going to spank his bum, he spanks it himself. I can't help but laugh. He's going to be awfully hard to discipline because he thinks everything is funny. We took him to nursery on Sunday for a little bit. He just seems so young. He hit one of the other boys in the face. It's his way of greeting people I guess... He'll go into nursery in three weeks. It'll be interesting to see how they handle him. He doesn't sit still and the whole time we were in there they wanted the kids to do puzzles!
On Sunday we had a BBQ at Tawnya and Landon's. It was a lot of fun. We have such good friends. I hope that when we move, we can still get together. We are really lucky. One of the games that we play a lot is Scum, which is quite fun when we have 10 people.
Jed and I are truly blessed to have such great people in our lives. I really believe that the Lord gives us trials and challenges only to make us stronger and better. They can definetly bring people closer together and I feel that with our family.

Curve Balls...

Just when you think things are going good and life couldn't get any better, something always seems to happen. Well that something happened to us this past week. May 9th was our first visit to the doctor for the pregnancy, and of course we were excited. We didn't leave the doctor's office as excited though. Dr. Glenn couldn't find a heartbeat so he sent us for an ultrasound. It turned out that it was not a viable pregancy. I should have been 11 weeks along, but the baby had stopped growing about 6 weeks. Dr. Glenn scheduled me for surgery and I had that done the next day. I could have waited it out, but I probably would have still had to have the D&C. I justed wanted to be done with it. My mom came down and stayed with us for a couple of days. She was a huge help with Lucas. 25% percent of pregnancies end with a miscarriage. I didn't realize how high it was. Dr. Glenn is a wonderful doctor and I'm grateful for his help with all of this.
Mother's Day was not the easiest for me this year. I am truly blessed to have Jed and Lucas in my life. They mean so much to me. I am also thankful for our own mothers. They are wonderful moms and we appreciate everything they do for us. We are very blessed to have such a wonderful family. We love you all and appreciate all the love that has been shown to us this past week. It means a lot to us.

Junior/Senior Pictures

Jed and I took my sister Jessica's Junior/Senior pictures. She didn't have any taken this year and since senior pictures are taken in a couple of months we figured we could do it now. They turned out pretty cute. She's really pretty, especially when she's not scowling!!! Here are a few of them. My mom came and got me and Lucas on Wednesday and we went to Jessi's softball game in Tooele, which they lost, and then we went up to Honeyville. Jed came up on Friday afternoon. We had a great time. We went to Ice Age 2, which is really funny. For Jed it was really relaxing since he didn't have to hurry and get back home to write papers. Jessica's dog Mickey also had puppies a little while ago so we tried to get Lucas to like them. He's scared to death of them. They are so cute. If they would stay little, I would bring one home with me.
