West Canyon with the Dukes

Nev holding Ella. She loves that dog!
Skylar kept picking up handfuls of dirt and rubbing it in her hair and then she would just look over at all of us and just laugh at herself. It was so stinkin cute!
Skylar and Nev were in the back of the truck and were lovin the marshmallows. Skylar kept eating them and kissing herself in her reflection on the windows.
The girls wandering around looking for cows. It was such a fun night!

Every year my family tries to go to Bear Lake. Luckily this year we got to go! It has been about two years since we have been. We had a big heard this year that went. We had a blast though. Full of swimming in the freezing cold lake and running up and jumping in the pool or hot tub. I am pretty sure we all got fried though. But it is always a blast. We are all always beat once we get home. A few of my cousins and their families were up there as well so we got to see them and hang out with them on the beach. Fun filled weekend for sure! 

July 24th

every year for the 24th Michael's grandma Evans has a big breakfast for everyone. So we went over there bright and early and had breakfast with the whole family and then just sat around and gabbed and blew bubbles with the kids.

New Quilt!

This is my second quilt. Just finished it last week. Pretty proud of it. Fun bright colors! I love to quilt! Very time consuming but love the end result! For all of you that like to quilt... Go to amybutler.com she has some super cute free quilt patterns.

4th of July!

We went to fireworks at Thanksgiving Point with my family.
We did fireworks in Shaun and Diane's back yard with the little girls. Nev loved it! Skylar... not so much. (That would be why you don't see her in any pictures.)

Yellowstone

We went to Yellowstone. It was a blast! We went up to Idaho for, my little brother, Tanner's baseball tournament. Once that was over we decided to make a short trip up to Yellowstone. We saw old faithful and lots of other gysers and hot pots. I  had never been there so it was cool to get to see the stuff that we saw. We all had a lot of fun. And yes... mike was still on crutches and he it amazing and crutched his was around everywhere. He is the best!

BEAR COUNTRY!

Yep... Thats right bears! We went to bear country idaho!  
Saw lots of big burs!

Happy Birthday Mike!

Yesterday was Michael's birthday. Saturday we had a BBQ at the Lamb's house. Mike's friends Jon and his family and Brady and Kristen and Steve and their kids came to celebrate with Mike. It was a lot of fun. We just ate and hung out. For his birthday yesterday we just went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner. He had a really happy 27th birthday!

ZOO

Yesterday we went to the Hogle Zoo! Michael and I went with Mike's sister and her two little girls, Nev and Skylar and Mike's parents came as well. It was so fun! Nev totally has the entire zoo memorized. She loves the monkeys. She ran straight for the monkey building once we got there, screaming monkeys monkeys! I have never been to the zoo with little kids. Its the best. They were so excited to see the animals!

1st Anniversary

It was our first anniversary on June 6th! WOO! We made it! It has gone by so fast! We can't believe it. We went up and stayed the night at the Zermatt in Midway on Saturday night. We spent the day in Park City together and then went to the Spa at the Zermatt and we got a 90 minute couples massage. It was amazing! Then we went to dinner at the Mountain House Grill. It was such a fun weekend. So nice to get a weekend with just the two of us!

Surgery

Mikes surgery on his heel went very well. The doctor said there was a little more crushing than he originally thought but... a metal plate, some bone glue and nine screws later he is good to go. Well almost, still has to stay off of it for a few more weeks but he is doing well. Just glad he is okay.

Graduation!

My little sis, Kenzy, graduated from high school! She graduated May 29th. We are oh so proud of her!

Tribute to Luke

Our best buddy in the hole world left for Bangalore, India. Elder Luke R. Davies went into the MTC on May 20th. We miss him so much already. Counting down the days til he gets home in two years! Congratulations Luke!

Poor Mikey

Sitting in the ER, minutes after the accident. Already swelling.
All wrapped up. Swollen Piggies.
Good and bruised and swollen.

Mike and his friends have been riding some dirt jumps on their bikes up at one of his friends houses in Lehi. We all went over one night for a BBQ and Mike had an accident. He was very high in the air, just about to do a really cool trick and his bike got away from him. Landed just right on his foot and busted his heel all up. We were in the ER for quite some time that night taking all kinds of Xrays and CT scans. All of the Doctors were very impressed. He was in a lot of pain. We just have to wait now for the swelling to go down so they can operate. They will have to put in a metal plate and a few pins. Surgery is set for Wednesday. 

The Many Personalities of Whitney

So... Due to the car accident I had the wonderful opportunity to yet again go car shopping. Let me just give you a little history. Right before Michael and started dating I bought a cute little red convertable bug. I loved it. I drove it for a year and once Mike and I got married we decided to sell it and get something bigger and more reliable. Then came the car shopping. We both always liked the Honda Elements so that is what we decided to get but... of course I have to have the most impossible color to find. Took us a while but we finally found one and we jumped on it. Drove that for about nine months and wrecked it. yay! Gotta love it. So here we were back to square one. After a lot of test driving and many headaches we found the Subaru Impreza. Cute eh? 

My Poor Car!

I got in  an accident on Tuesday on my way home from work. This is the result. I am okay. But as you can see... my car did not come out so good. Luckily it was not my fault so all is well. I will try to explain what happened. There was a car stopped at a stop sign and she did not see another car coming toward me in the opposite lane, she hit the back end of that car and sent the car spinning into on coming traffic and of course I was the one there, we hit head on. It was pretty intense and I was very very shook up afterward. It was my first accident, had to make it a good one I guess. I just thank heaven that I made it out of it okay. Just sore. Have a few bumps and bruises but I think I will be fine. If you see any Green Honda Elements for sale be sure to let me know!

My very first quilt!

Okay so... my cute husband got me a sewing machine for my birthday. I sewed a little with it and then i just kinda got feeling bad because I hadn't used it much so i found this neat little book that has all kinds of patterns and cool stuff in it to sew for your house. It had this quilt in it. I thought oh that won't be bad... it was totally hard! ha ha It took me a good three months to do. But it is done and I am so proud of it! I felt so accomplished once I was done. So here it is. I just had to share it with everyone.

Easter!

Cute Little Skylar with her pretty easter egg.
All the kids going through their eggs to see what was inside after the hunt.
Nev was loving life looking for eggs.
Skylar loved having uncle mike swing her on the swings at grandmas.

Every year for easter Michaels Grandma Evans has a weenie roast and an easter egg hunt at her house with all of the family. It is always fun to see everyone.
