New Post

Hey I posted some new stuff on the Photo Blog. Go Check it out and let me know what ya'll think.

I promise I am getting around to posting more on this blog, just waiting for life to get exciting enough so I don't bore you with my life. =)

I Know I Know

I am such a terrible blogger. I am not going to say this time I am going to start updating more because lets me real I update like every 4 months, so for all of you who actually look at our blog I hope this post will satisfy you until November. Beware this is a long post.

The 4th of July:

We have had a pretty great summer. The first great thing we did was of course to to Blanding for the 4th of July. I just love Blanding on the 4th and would not want to be anywhere else. I am sad however that I did not get a single picture from our time over there. I forgot my camera everytime we went somehwere. This year's celebration did no disappoint. As usual we woke up that morning and went to the parade. We sat at the Hardware store and it was so much fun to watch all the kids get so excited about all the candy and getting soaked by the fire trucks. As usual I was completely embarrased by the Gandianton Band, but let's be honest it would not be the 4th of July parade without it. After the parade I was off to play in the grass volleyball tourny. It was lots of fun and even though we did not win I am so ok with that. It's fun to play and still be able to get to the fireworks on time and even spare a little time for some dinner in between. The fireworks were GREAT!! I think Blanding has such a great fireworks display for a small town. The 4th of July is by far my favorite holiday. Good weather, Good food, Good company, and Good entertainment how can you beat that?

Ute Stampede:

Dallin and I have made it a tradition since we have lived in Richfield to go to the Ute Stampede in Nephi each year the weekend after teh fourth. We of course went again this year and had a good time. I was a little disappointed however because usually a guy parachutes out of an airplane with a huge american flag attached to him and he lands in the arena while patriotic music plays and he did not do it this year. =( I did remember to snap a few pictures at the Rodeo. See Below:



                      They have a "Bathing Beauties" parade every year.  These are the winners.

                                                            

Nicole's Wedding:

A few weeks after the Ute Stampede we traveled north again to go to Nicole's wedding.  She has found such a nice guy and they are so happy together and we are so happy for her.  The ceremony was great and the reception was so pretty.  It was at a place called The Pointe that had an awesome view of the city.  Below are a few pictures of the reception, and at the very end you will see a video of my nephew dancing his little heart away.

We have also been starting to finish our basement.  I will have some before and after pictures in a later post.

It's Been Awhile...

So it has been more than awhile since I last posted. I am terrible at posting, but really without kids there is not much going on that is exciting enough to Blog about. We went home for Easter and had a good time. We spent time with family and had good food, those to things combined are always a great time.

This last weekend I was able to go to St. George with my mom, sister, and Aunt Rachel and we had a great time. We were able to get some shopping in, some R & R, and some laughing in. Although we didn't do anything too exciting we still had a great time and it was fun to get to see everyone and catch up.

Last but not least I finally updated my photography blog. I was able to do a shoot with my cousin Bailey's new little girl and I think for my first one it turned out as well as I could have hoped for really. Click Here to check it out and let me know what you think.

For all those people that actually do check my blog I promise to try and update more.

No Words

I really don't have many words for this. My dog is just crazy. He climbed up on this chair while I had my back turned and was just sitting there like a human.

Freezing Cold

So while all the rest of Utah seems to be getting quite a bit of snow and everyone else gets to enjoy it, all I get is like 2 inches and just freezing cold weather. For whatever reason in Richfield it gets so freakin cold but we never get tons of snow. The last 3 winters I have lived here the temp is always about 5 degrees colder than anywhere else (except maybe Logan) and I would say the biggest snow storm we have had was maybe 6 inches. I am beginning to re-think my previous feelings about liking utah because of the changes in seasons. I HATE winters in Richfield!!!!


............Ok so after reading all the comments I will have to admit a few things. Tiff/Noelle you are right the wardrobe change is fun, I love shopping and buying new fun things to wear, and I will admit also that Kendra is right, I don't just hate Richfield in the winter I don't really like it all around. It's ok; there are worse places to live. My heart will always be in Blanding =). Thanks for putting things into perspective for me guys.

A New Adventure

Dallin and I are off on another Business Adventure...................................................


Some of you may have heard the rumor......................................................................


It is in the final works now.............................................................................................


On January 1st we will be the official owners of.........................................................

We are currently in the final process of getting all the loans done and closing on the Subway in Blanding. It has come full circle now. When Dallin got off his mission he bought the Subway as a young 21 year old eager enterpunuer/business owner. Later his brother Jeremy joined. About a year after Dallin and I got married we sold the Subway to Jed Lyman to help grow our other business. It has now come back full cricle and we are going to be the proud owners of Subway once again. Dallin is very excited. I am excited and a little nervous (remember I am not such an eager enterpunuer).
