Our Fourth

I apologize for no pictures sooner....I am having a little trouble with the camera. But for now I will just let you know what we did for the 4th. We went to Texas to celebrate and to see baby Noah for the first time. We took Jones family pictures, had a barbeque and watched the fireworks in New Braunfels. Joel brought a radio and we listened to the songs that fireworks went to. This, my friends, is my favorite part of that Holiday. (I am sure Heath could tell you how I kept cheering and clapping during the works). I love listening to the Patrioctic songs during the fireworks display. I am so grateful to live here in America, to be free to choose the way I live. Brooklyn did good this year- I guess last year the loud bangs of the fireworks scared her. The BBQ earlier that day was also a celebration of Jack's 1st birthday. He was adorable! Then on Saturday we went to SeaWorld in San Antonio. That was a lot of fun. The Sea Lion show was my favorite part. We saw so many beautiful creatures... Baby Noah was blessed on Sunday, then Nick and Steph hosted a wonderful lunch for all of us! Thanks Angie, Perry, Nick, Steph, Joel and Britni for letting us share that weekend with y'all!

H & C- cute as can be

Claire loves to scoot around in my room and play with the door stop. I barely could get her to do it for the camera but I thought that his one was so cute. Harrison loves to jump. Here he is showing me, Aunt Emily, cousin Claire and Nana what he is made of.

Strike Three? NEVER!

WOW. I don't think I have ever looked better. Em and I are on a softball team together. We play every Tuesday night- it is so fun. Em plays first and I play second. We play well there. I played second in high school so I love it- but Em caught in high school and college, so she would rather be behind the plate. However, having a girl there that can catch anything-I mean ANYTHING- is just what a co-ed team needs. She is so good.

Tim, Claire and our Mom came to watch us this week. That was a lot of fun. Claire wants to be just like her mom when she grows up.

Em hit this one right down the third base line. Perfection. It was so hot that day. Em- why are you wearing pants?

Nice shoulder drop Liz. But hey, it's slow pitch and that dropped in center field so I'll take it.

We were just saying how hot we were and how we just wanted this game to be done. Haha.....no it was fun. We killed them.

Lookin' good sis.

Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day Perry. Look how handsome. Thank you so much for all you have done for Heath and I. Especially at our wedding! You have been so generous and loving. I am so glad that Heath has a father that taught him the gospel and is an example to him everyday. He looks up to you and is so proud to be your son.

Happy Father's Day Dad. Thank you so much for all you have done for me. For the example that you have been and are. You have given me everything I ever needed and have taught me how to be a good person. Thank you for being an example of love and service first to the Lord and then to your wife and children. I love you so much. You are my hero.

Paradise and its cookies

This is my favorite treat. Warm Chocolate Chip Cookies and a huge class of cold milk. Recently, Anne and Emily have kindly introduced me to a place called Paradise Bakery. They make the best chocolate chip cookies ever! Nice and soft, so soft that they basically just melt in your mouth, just the right amount of chocolate and the size is, well, perfect. The other day I went there to get a sandwhich, that comes with a cookie- might I add- and do some work on the internet. They were giving out free samples of differnet kinds of cookies, and of course I helped myself. This picture is not what their cookies look like, but they sure look good. Thanks my dear sisters for introducing me to this heavenly bakery. I always want a Paradise cookie.

Happy Mother's Day

MOM- I love you so much. Thank you for all you have done for me. Your example and your love that you have given me means more than you'll ever know. Thank you for your hard work, your service, your love and your food! I love you so much. Happy Mother's Day.

ANGIE- I am so glad that I married into a wonderful family. You are so kind to me and you have been there for anything that we have needed. You are so thoughtful and generous. Thank you for all you do for us now, and thank you for raising a wonderful son. I love you. Happy Mother's day.

David Archuleta!

Yes. Yes. He is here in Salt Lake and I got to see him this morning. There were THOUSANDS of people there, girls screaming and chasing him. He had like five policemen around him as girls were tugging at his sweater, and yelling "we love you David!" He was so cute. Here are a few pics a I got from up above.
