Good News...

The good news for this week is that they are starting our new home today. YEA!!! It seems like it has taken forever, but hopefully the next couple of months will go by fast. We finally signed all the papers on our other home, so it is officially sold now. We are able to rent back to the owners until the end of September if we need too. Hopefully we won't have too though. Last Friday we went to Seven Peaks with Jed's work. Lucas had so much fun. He loves to play in the water. He went down the kiddie slide a few times, which was pretty funny. Lucas, Tawnya, and I went home to Honeyville on Friday for my cousins wedding. Jed stayed for his baseball game on Saturday, which he won, and then came up with Landon. The wedding was nice. It's always fun to see family. My cousin Sheridan and his wife Torrie and their cute little kids, Gracie, Maddie, and Cole all stayed at our house too. They live in California right now. We had a great time visiting. I also helped my mom do some of those frames with the ribbon. She used them for our wedding pictures. They look very cute on her wall.
Yesterday was our first day at mom and tots swimming lesson. Lucas loved it. He went under the water a couple of times. It goes for two weeks. Today he has is 18 month check up. It worked out nicely because he's been running a fever since last night, so I hope he's not too sick. I'm suppose to go help at the Soup Kitchen tonight for a couple of hours with some of the Young Women. It should be exciting!!

Father's Are So Special...

Happy Father's Day to our wonderful dads. They are great men and we are definetly blessed to have them in our lives. We also have such wonderful grandpa's too. I also want Jed to know what a wonderful husband he is to me and a great dad to Lucas. We hope they had a wonderful day!!
This weekend we went down to Jed's cabin on Kolob. We had a great time. Lucas played extremely hard. He slept almost the entire way home yesterday. We went around by the lake and Jed and his dad fished while Lucas played in the water. He loves the water!! We took his shoes and socks off and let him wade in just a couple of steps. The water was cold, but that didn't seem to bother him! We start his little swimming class next week and I think he's really going to like it!!
Grandma and Grandpa Beatty came up for dinner on Saturday night. It was fun to see them and visit for awhile. My first time and the cabin, right before Jed and I were married, we carved our name in one of the trees. This picture is of what it looks like now. I always have to go find it every year so that I don't forget where we did it.


Notice Lucas's forehead...he decided to run off our back steps and landed on his head. He sure scraped it up, but he didn't cry for very long. He's such a brave little boy!

Jed has a couple of Baseball games this week and we are going up to Honeyville for my cousin's wedding. Western Star is also having a summer BBQ at 7 Peaks, which we are excited about. I think Lucas will have a fun time there. I think that's it for now...

A Week in Review...

There hasn't been much happening the last few days. Jed started his baseball league last week. The game was at 8:30 at night so I decided to go and Tawnya came with. About half way through it started to rain off an on. When we finally decided that we had had enough, we jumped in the car to head home just as it started a major down pour. We were quite glad that we had decided to leave. When Jed came home he was soaking wet and muddy!! It was fun to watch him play again. He thought he had a game on Saturday so his parents and his sister Mariann came to watch. It turned out that he was misinformed and he didn't have a game. That was okay though because we got to spend time with his parents on Saturdayand Lucas loves to see them. We tookMariann out to see where we are building our home. We found out that our home should go on the schedule in the next week or so. We are excited about that. Everything goes as planned we should be in by the end of August, first of September. While they were here we also went to visit Jed's cousin Jason, who is here in Provo for awhile.
Saturday evening we went to the driving range with our friends Chad & Alicia and little Carter. I'm not very good at all, but it's fun to hit with a driver. On Sunday, Tawnya and Landon came over and we had a little BBQ and played Sequence, and of course the girls won!!!

Summer's are so crazy, at least for us they are. This weekend we are going down to Jed's cabin on Kolob. The next weekend we have a wedding to go to up in Honeyville and the next weekend we'll be camping for a few days. It's fun to go and do things, but it's also nice when the weekends come that we don't have anything!!

What did I do??

Arizona

I had so much fun in Arizona. I was there from Saturday to Tuesday afternoon. It was a pretty short trip, but I'm definetly glad that I went. My mom and Nappy had flown in on Friday and they are staying until Saturday. The plane ride down Lucas did really good for the first half and the very end, but there was little part in the middle where I'm sure that the passengers on the plane did not like him! He started to cry because he wanted to get down and run. On the plane ride back, he feel asleep during take off and didn't wake up until I had to put him in the stroller to get the luggage. It was sure nice. The lady sitting next to us was especially glad, I could tell she wasn't happy that she had to sit by a baby. Flying is so fast and nice!!!
Lucas immediately fell in love with my grandpa Clouse and learned how to say "grandpa" while we were down there. They were buddy's the entire time we were there. It was so cute. Now he keeps wondering were Grandpa is. My grandpa had a mini stroke a couple of days after Mother's Day in May. He is doing really well though. When he goes outside he uses a walker, and Lucas thought it was so fun. He would sit in the seat and Grandpa would push him out to get the mail. Lucas was such a good boy. The only time he cried was when he fell head over heels down their stairs. He cried for a minute and then was ready to play some more. We took him swimming a couple of times. Both times he didn't want to get in the water because it was cold and then when he got use to it, he didn't want to get out!!
My mom and her sisters always have some project to do when they get together. Nyla had a quilt that she put on. It's a quilt that her daughter pieced, and it is very pretty. Jeanie was having them help her with bags that she was making for her school class. They turned out so cute. She ended up making more than enough so I got one. It'll make a cute church bag for Lucas.
We also did a lot of "Runs and Bunches" playing, which is always fun. And of course, Grandma always cooks such good food. We have to weigh ourselves daily to make sure we aren't gaining 5 pounds a day. On Saturday we had an evening picnic with most of my Aunt Nyla's kids and their kids, my Aunt Jeanie's family, my mom, Nappy, Lucas and I, and Grandma & Grandpa. It was so fun to see everyone, even if it was extremely hot!! We all had a good time. My grandparents live in a nice condo area, and they just took out one set of tennis courts and made a nice picnic area with grass to play on. Lucas loved hanging out with all of his cousins. He liked to follow all the big kids around and watch what they were doing.
It's always hard for me to leave down there. I have such a great relationship with my grandparents. They have been so good to me. I was able to spend two summers living with them while I was working at my uncles office.
Of course I was excited to come back and see Jed. He wasn't able to come because of work. Both Lucas and I missed him very much. I think he found a way to occupy most of his time with Baseball, Golfing, Movies, and spending time with Landon and Tawnya. When Lucas saw Jed at the airport he was so excited to see his dad, and I was too!
