Where did all the time go?

Saturday was a special day. My oldest niece Katelyn got baptized!! I am so proud of her! It just makes me a little sad to think that she's 8 already and is already old enough to be baptized!! I remember holding her when she was little, and gagging while changing her poopy diapers! Does time really have to go by so fast? I still remember thinking how silly "old" people sounded when they talked of how fast life goes by and to just enjoy every second! Boy was a wrong. It DOES fly by. We just have to love every second of it. The good, the bad and the ugly :)

So anyways, enough of me feeling old, it was a great baptism. She looked like a little doll in her little white baptism dress. She was soo happy when she came up from the water, feeling shiny and new :) It was fun to see family and friends there supporting Katie. What a blessing she is in all of our lives!

I'll post pics soon!

Teething

So my little nephew is really unhappy right now because of those darn little teeth coming in. He's such a good and mild- mannered baby...but when it comes to teething, I'm pretty sure no baby is happy!

We fortunately get to see all of my cute little nieces and nephews every Sunday for dinner. A few weeks ago, my dad decided to cook up some elk steaks for Sunday dinner that my cousin John caught in his hunt. What made me crack up, was all of the kids reactions to it. They were so not excited!! Except for baby Evan, the one who's teething right now. He was just gumming that stuff right off. No worries, there was parental supervision and no choking took place :)

But here's a few pics of Evan gumming that elk steak that are soo stinkin' cute, I had post them :)

Fun at the Dew Tour!

This weekend was pretty exciting. Jared is a die-hard fan of BMX-ing and has been wanting to go to a show for a while, ever since him and his brother Justin went to one before their mission! So while Bubba was at work, I managed to buy tickets for the tour. Thank goodness... I hear they sell out pretty fast! The best part of the whole thing was that he didn't even know that we were going! It was all a surprise :)

Jared had a busy and stressful day at work, came home and went down stairs wanting to just relax...and what did he find on the bed? Yup! A folder with Dew Tour tickets in them!! Woo Hoo! I will never forget that face that excitingly looked up at me when he found out we were going..lol..I guess you can call it cheesy, but it melted my heart!

We went to SLC for the Dew Tour on Saturday. I thought we would be able to sleep in a bit that morning..but my little boy was sooo stinkin' excited to see the pro BMX-ers, that he woke up at 6 am!!!! Usually I'm the first one up, but he definitely showed me up this time! The only time I have guts to willingly wake up that early is when we're going to Disneyland! ;)

So, we got there around 12:30, and were just in time to see those guys do what they do best. Tricks! The tricks that they pull off on their bikes are literally AMAZING!! I've watched BMX on the t.v. but it's nothing like it is in person..lol, I guess it's the same with just about anything. But it was my first time going to a Dew Tour. It was nuts! :) We got a lot of free stuff too, which is always a fun time!

I'll download some pics of the BMX adventure when I can find my camera plug!

When the Dew Tour was over, we walked a few blocks over to a place called the "Blue Iguana" for dinner!! Mmmmm-mmm! It was so good! Thinking about all that yummy Mexican food now, is making me pretty dang hungry, so I'll stop thinking about it ;)

To end, I'm so grateful for a fun and loving husband! I may not know everything about all of the sports he likes and hobbies, yet..but I'm having fun every day learning more and more about him! :) I'm thankful he's so patient with me too. He pretty much rocks! Thanks babe!!
