Arnoldsen Reunion

This past weekend we went to Mt. Pleasant for a family reunion on Mark's side (his great grandfather on down). It was really fun. We left work a few minutes early and drove 2 1/2 hours to Manti, Utah. We found a parking spot and waited for the Manti Pagent to start. After fixing a few technical difficulties, the pagent began at 10. We had really good seats. Even though I have seen the pagent several times I am always inspired. The message it teaches is wonderful. After it was over we booked it to the car to miss most of the traffic. We drove about 20 miles to camp and set camp up at 12:30. Then we went to bed.

Saturday morning came way to fast. We quickly made and ate breakfast (we made omelettes in ziploc baggies. Very easy and clean!), then got things set up for the reunion. There was about 90-100 people there. There was a show and tell of pictures, stories, and family heirlooms and then there was a talent show. Mark even got up and did some yodelling. It was a great trip and we had a lot of fun, but we are glad that we don't have to be in charge again for a few years.

Updates

For Fathers Day Mark and I went to Mark's brother's house for a bar-b-q. Mark kicked trash at croquette! We had a lot of fun and wanted to wish all of the father's around us a wonderful Fathers Day. You men are such a good influence on Mark and I and we will always love you guys!
Monday was our three year anniversary. We had fun going to dinner and a movie. It is hard to believe that it has already been three years.
Last weekend Mark and I realized that the trees we planted last year are still alive! I was shocked. We planted 35 trees last spring when we started building the house. I was positive that they hadn't survived the winter, but they proved me wrong. So, we put a drip system in place to water the trees. In the one week it has been watering the trees are looking a lot greener. In a few years we should have nice tall trees and lots of shade. We also have 50 bush bean plants coming up and half a dozen pea plants in our garden coming up. We want to get some strawberries growing too.
This weekend we are going to a family reunion on Mark's side. We get to go to the Manti Pagent, camp overnight, and then play with the family all day. It should be tons of fun (but we will miss camping with my family up at Strawberry. By the way, Happy Anniversary Tim and Shannon!).
The only other thing changing for us is my growing tummy! Spencer is kicking the breath out of me on a daily basis now. Mark can hear his heartbeat sometimes which is fun. This is a picture of me taken today (Friday, June 20) at 29 weeks.
