Getting ready for school

Things are getting crazy around here. We signed Kaily up for preschool and she is incredibly excited. Every day she asks me when she can go to school. I just purchased Clint's school books and I thought I would puke! This Nursing program is going to cost way more than I ever thought it would. They both start on the 25th and they both have open houses on the 20th. Clint got a letter from the Nursing Dept that told him he had to have certain things read by the time school starts. He said to me after I read it to him, "So basically, my school has already started, yeah." He's not supper thrilled about all the books either and I think he is a little nervous to start this. I know he will be fine, but I also know in order for him to be fine I need to be fine with being alone most of the time. Any advice Steph? Conner is starting to get into everything he can these days. He gets quite frustrated that he can't crawl yet. I think I can wait a little longer for that to happen.

Anniversary, 5 years

August 2, 2008

So our anniversary was on the first, but since we spent the whole day at Lagoon we didn't get to celebrate the way we wanted to, without kids. On Saturday we went to the new Cheesecake Factory in Murray UT for lunch. It was our first time being there and it was SO yummy. I got the Southwest chicken salad and Clint got a really hot pasta dish that I can't recall the name of. For our cheesecake we had the Tuxedo. So yummy. When we left we felt like we had eaten WAY too much. It was so good though. We did end up taking Conner with us b/c all my other family went to the lake for the day. That was okay, he was a good boy and everyone there loved him. After lunch we went to the movies and saw The Dark Night. It was ok. There were things about it we really liked and other things we didn't like at all. We were impressed with Heath Ledger's performance of the Joker though. Some of the script was well written for his part and some things he says makes you think a little. In that regards, I enjoyed it. After that we went back to my parents house for dinner with the fam.

I am so thankful to be married to Clint. I can't believe that it was 5 years ago that we were married. I am so thankful that the Lord led us to each other and the Clint listened to the spirit. He was the one who kept asking me out and showed up at random places that I would be, like wk. I am thankful that we were able to be married in the Temple and that b/c of that we can be together for eternity (if we are faithful). In 5 years we have lived in 4 places, 3 towns, had 2 kids and received our associates degrees. We have also been able to go on some amazing trips and see lots of fun places. Yea for 5 years, the good, the bad and the ugly.

Lagoon Day

August 1, 2008 This was our Stake Lagoon day. My sister-in-law was in town with her kids and we invited them to come with us. I also had my brothers little girl with us b/c they were moving and she and Kaily are best buds. They had such a great time. My parents ended up coming with us also. That was SO nice b/c there is no way three adults could have handled 7 kids alone. My nephews are 8, 6 and 4. They also have a little girl, Sarah, who is almost 8 months. Than I had Kaily, who is 3 1/2 and her cousin Marti, who just turned 3 and Conner. With my parents there the adults could ride the rides also. My favorite was Wicked and Spider. The kids loved all the kid rides and Kaily wanted to go on all the rides Clint and I went on. I took her on the new ride called Odysee and the Space scrambler. She loved it. It was so fun to be there with the kids and see how excited they got on the rides. I'm so glad everyone came. Next time we'll have to invite more people to come. I figure the more the better. The kids loved it so much that we didn't leave the park until 10:30 pm. We spent ALL DAY there. After we loaded them all up they were out in 2 min.

Mission Reunion THM

On July 19 I had my 10 yr mission reunion. It hasn't actually been 10 years for me, but for my mission President. It was actually 8 years for me. Still, 8 years, wow! It was so great to see so many of my great friends that I searved with. I wish I had gotten more pics, but I was so busy talking that I only got one. This is Laurie and her daughter with my kids. We aren't going to have another one for 2 more years. For thoes of you who don't know my Mission President, President Mayfield, he is a very hard working man. Since he came home from the mission he has been doing a lot of wk with the war. He spends a lot of time in the Middle East. It was good to see he and he wife also. I just love them!

Bath time fun

Clint has decided that it's SO much eaiser to give Conner a bath in the sink rather than the tub. I think it's b/c it's smaller and he doesn't have to bend down to get to him. It was just so cute that I had to take some pics. Than the other day Kaily got REALLY jealous and wanted to take a bath in the sink too so Clint let her.
