Summer Fun

Here are some pictures of what we have been up to lately. Mark and I both have stayed busy doing things with our callings in Young Mens and Young Womens. Mark has gone on several camping trips. Scout Camp or Girls Camp or on the agenda in two to three weeks. This last Tuesday night for Young Mens and Young Womens we took the youth swimming at the City Pool.

It was a blast! Spencer got to swim for the first time and he loved it. Here are a couple of pictures of our swimming adventure. All of the youth love Spencer, and he loves them too. He lights up when he gets to see "all of his girlfriends." Mutual night is one of the highlights of the week for Mark and I.

For the Fourth of July we went up to Cherry Days in North Ogden. Mark loved seeing all of his friends in his old stomping ground. I don't have any pictures from up there so just imagine us having fun with friends and you got the picture.
We left North Ogden and we did a b-b-q at my mom and dad's for the 4th, my mom's birthday on the 5th, and my Grandma Kersey's birthday on the 3rd. This has always been one of the best times to celebrate with my family because of all the holidays. This is a picture of the older grandkids (yes, that includes Spencer) posing in front of the kiddie pool that they had been playing in.
After playing outside we all went in for presents and wrestling with future Uncle Carter. All the kids love Carter (and so do Mark and I)! That night we went to the Bees Game. After several extra innings (Carter jinxed the game) we got to sit on the grass of the outfield to watch the fireworks. The fireworks were awesome. Again, no picture so imagine some awesome fireworks. My mom and dad watched Spencer for us which was really nice. Thanks again!
Not much is changing at home except Spencer. He seems to keep growing up despite my efforts to have him remain my baby boy. Mark and I bought Spencer a potty. The first time we sat him on it he actually went pee. It was awesome! but totally a fluke. He has gone a couple more times. Hopefully we can have him out of diapers before the age of 2. We hope to keep having tons of summer fun!

10 Months Old

Spencer is now TEN months old! I can hardly believe it. He is not a baby anymore. He is my boy. When we bark like dogs he says "Dag." He is getting faster everyday. We love him.


Also, my first party for scrapbooking and card making will be next Thursday, July 9 at 6:30 at my house. If any of you want to come call me and I will give you directions. For those who want to come and can't, shop on my website. There is a link on the left. I am so excited.

Something New For Me

I am so excited to finally have something truly new in my life to share with you all. I am going to be a consultant for a scrapbooking/stamp company called Close To My Heart.
It is a company based here in Utah. I have been looking into working with them for a few months now and I finally decided to just do something that I wanted just because I wanted to. I know it kind of sounds selfish but I am so excited to be able to share a love of scrapbooking with those around me with such a great product. It will give me a good excuse to leave the boys for a few hours a couple times a month. I am so excited! I will let you all know when I have my first product party.

On another great note: Spencer has slept two nights in a row!
That means I got to sleep two nights in a row!!! I am like a whole new person. I can't believe how nice it is to actually have a good nights rest. I hope that this trend can continue for at least a couple more days.

I hope that you all have a great weekend!

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY

So, I know I go on and on about how lucky I am. Sunday just gave me another day to brag about my boys. Mark is a wonderful father. Spencer loves his "dada dada" so much.

Four Wonderful Years!

On Tuesday was our Four Year Anniversary!
It is amazing to think we have been married that long. It has been the best four years of my life. We have done so much together. Here are a few pictures of some of our travels together and here are the four top reasons I love Mark!

1. He cuddles me at night so I can sleep better. Any of you who know me know that I love to cuddle and have lots of pillows and stuff so this is a big deal to me.

2. He puts up with my annoying habits and bad attitudes. He is always trying to please me and do what he can to help me out. He is kind and generous to me and always puts our families needs before his own.

3. He always makes me laugh. Everyday Mark gets me to smile. He does the same thing for Spencer too which also gets me to smile.

4. I love Mark because he is a good, righteous man who loves me with all his heart. He has given me the world.

I love you Sweetheart! Happy Anniversary Again!

All I do lately...

The past two weeks have gone by so quickly. I swear the older I get the slower I become. Here are a few pictures of what we have been up to. Sorry so many but they are all just so cute.
This first one is of my Grandma Adams and Spencer. Memorial Day weekend we went to visit my families graves. This has always been a tradition with Grams and I was excited to take Mark and Spencer with us.


Next is a picture of Spencer playing in the grass at the cemetary.


That afternoon we had a family b-b-q. It was tons of fun but with 6 grandkids it can get a little crazy so I offered to take 4 of them all for a walk. I ended up taking 4 grandkids, my mom, brother, Grams, sister and her boyfriend. This is us heading out on our journey. I am sure we looked like quite the crew walking around the neighborhood.


This is my cute neice Ashlynn. I love her so much! She looks so much like her mom.


This is the three boys that have been born in the last nine months. Oldest on the left, youngest on the right. Spencer at 9 months; Issac almost 3 months; and Jackson about 6 weeks.


Next is all of the grandkids. From left to right: Matt, Ashlynn, Jackson, Carter, Issac, and Spencer. What a handsome crew.


Spencer is becoming a pro at pulling himself up on furniture. The fireplace mantle at my parents is the perfect height for practicing. (Don't you love the star on Spencer's bum)


On Memorial Day Mark and I took Spencer for a walk and this is how he was when we got home.


Spencer loves his bathtime. Of course, he is always a pretty happy little guy. He loves to splash around chase his toys in the bathtub.


This is a picture of Spencer on his 9 month birthday. I just love the smile.

And a story that doesn't revolve around me. My little sister Steph has been dating a wonderful guy down here in good old Cedar City. That means she came down twice last month. And the two weekends that she didn't come down, we went up north. It has been fun to see my family so much. Anywho, last Saturday Steph got engaged to Carter!!! It is way exciting. Congratulations you two! They are getting married August 14. So, the next couple of months are going to be a lot of planning, as well as many trips up north.


That is about all I have been doing lately...
Have a good weekend!
