New stuff

I finally got to post on our blog. I have been meaning to for a couple of weeks but since I never have time it never has happened. Thank the lord that babies take naps! Please do read and enjoy. Oh and here is a cute picture of Addy I took today.

Mini road trip

Yesterday....July 11th.....Shane, Addy, and I took a mini roadtrip to Sunnyside, UT. Where is Sunnyside, UT you ask? Well it is Southeast of Salt Lake. It is about 20 miles past Price. And why did we go to Sunnyside? which is a very small and run down town by the way. Well we went there to see a car show. And I will tell you it was worth the drive. Shane and I both love hot and rat rods and that is all that was there. It was killer!

Here is my list of requirments to have an excellent roadtrip.

-You must eat so much junk food you want to puke when you finally make it to your destination. On my mini trip yesterday I ate peanuts, lemonheads, fruitcrisp bar, banana, and a wendys cheeseburger and fries. On the way back home I ate more lemonheads, gradettos, m&m's, beef jerky (I only allow myself beef jerky on roadtrips so had to have it) and so much ice tea it is ridiculous. I swear I did not want anymore food the rest of the day. Blah!

-You must have fun! No whining about how long it is taking to get there.

-You must enjoy the weird people that live in the smalls towns you stop in. Shane and I get all sorts of weird looks when we go into these small towns. We both have tattoos so they automatically think we are bad news. It is fun!

Since this is about as close as I am getting to a vacation you get a long post. Sorry.

Couple of pictures of the trip......

The 4th!

On the 3rd of July we went and saw fireworks at Granite. It was a lot of fun and Addy did really well. I thought she would be scared but she wasn't at all just amazed by the giant light flashing above her. On the actual 4th we really didn't do anything, we just hung out an BBQed.

A couple of pictures of the kids watching the fireworks!

Laziness and HApPy FaThers daY

Today I have been super lazy, mostly because I feel like absolute crap. I have a really bad sinus infection and my ears feel like they are clogged and my brain feels like it is sloshing around in my skull.....so I have been laying in bed pretty much all day, luckily Addy has been pretty lazy too so that allows mom to be lazy. :)

Besides complaining about my sickness I wanted to say happy fathers day to my wonderful Father. For those of you that don't know I am a huge daddy's girl I always have been I am still and I am 25 years old. My dad is the best (I know everyone says that, but mine really is). He helps us so much with every thing, he is pretty much the smartest person I know, and he is a wonderful grandfather. I love you dad, my life would not be the same without you!



I would like to say happy father's day to my wonderful husband too. He is a wonderful father to both of his kids! He is so fun and playful with the kids and they both love it. He is a big softy and Luke knows that as long as he is with his dad he can pretty much get away with anything. He helps me so much with Addy and he was so good to me when I was pregnant with her and for that I think he deserves father of the year, because putting up with pregnant Ariel was not easy! I love you Shane you are a wonderful father and husband!

Some fun weekend we have here......

This last weekend was a busy one but a fun one....sometimes it is fun to be busy. Friday when I got home from work we hung out for a while then Luke got a lesson in lawn mowing.....



While Addy and I watched....

Then on Saturday we went to Luke's baseball game...they kicked butt. Then we went to the family reunion and my grandparents house. It was great I got to see a lot of my family that I haven't seen in ages.

My cousin Amanda Jane and Addy


Dad and Brother Zak

On Sunday we went to the movies. We saw UP it was really cute. We took Addy with us and she was really good, she was a little afraid of how loud it was at first but by the end she was passed out. The rest of Sunday we just hung out and relaxed after the busy weekend. Fun fun!

What is all this....

I have lived in Utah my whole life and never do I ever remember it raining this much for so many days in a row....and in June! Don't get me wrong I love the rain, but I feel like I am living in the northwest. Oh well I am just going to be happy because in a month when it is 100 degrees I will be sweaty and unhappy and no fun! Love you rain!

Baseball Fun

Luke has been playing baseball for the past 2 years. Last year it wasn't very serious but this year it is a big deal. They are in the playoffs next week...his team is really good and Luke is getting really good too. His games are so exciting I love going to them! Here are a couple of pictures of the boy in action.
