August Update!

Well its time again for the update. August for us has been exciting and has flown by. Brad and Noah are now both back to school. We survived the first day jitters and everyday so far has been filled with excitement. We are enjoying soccer, yes, I mean we as in me and Brad are the coaches. It has been so fun and Noah really has a love of the sport. Me and Luke are enjoying one on one time together and are having fun coloring, playing with moon sand and cooking. We start gymnastics again in a few days and the boys are so excited for that. My life is great and I am very grateful for all that I have. I have many blessings and a wonderful life.

I WON!

Holy cow! I won the contest. I so can't can believe it. I am so excited. I not only won but I won the Grand prize which is called a "Carribian Cruise in a box." I am so excited and in such need of a cruise right now its not even funny. I am so excited. Some of the things my friend is including is A towel animal
Large bottle of sunscreen
Disposable camera
Key West Lime Juice
Jamaican trinket (although it's probably made in China)
Pearl earrings
Sea salt (for rubbing in your hair)
iTunes card so your iPod is ready for sunbathing
Recipe for Molten Chocolate Cake (the reason she gained four pounds on her cruise)
and a few other items that she is keeping a surprise.. I am so grateful jess, thank you so very much.

Contests!

So I entered into one of my neighbors blogtests. Im hoping to win, she has some awesome stuff. However based on the success rate of my previous experiences of winning anything I am not getting my hopes up. I will keep you posted. So good luck to me.

Camping?

And what 4 of July wouldn't be complete without camping? Thats right, we went camping. Best part is, we did it in our back yard. Yup dats right. We pitched our tent, had a cookout and did smores with our fire pit and camped out in a tent. It was totally my kind of camping.
I can't believe July is half over. We are having a blast enjoying swimming and playing outside. We are keeping the slip'n'slide to good use and going through water balloons like crazy. Its been an awesome summer so far. Reality is starting to hit though. We just had to buy Brads books for this fall and he is getting things lined up to get back into school. Its such a bitter sweet but I am so excited for him to be done.

Well our July kicked off pretty awesome. We spent one early morning fishing with Grandma and Grandpa Garrett. We all had a blast. The boys loved it and even though we didn't catch anything the memories will be something they will never forget. Thank you grandma and grandpa. Later we continued the fun with a cookout and Nanny and Poppys house. Complete with fireworks. It was a blast and the fourth hadn't even started yet. We took our exhausted boys home to crash only to be woken up early to get down to the parade. We had awesome seats (thanx Uncle Josh) and the boys had so much fun. The highlights were the fast, loud police motorcycles, and huge lifted trucks. After the parade we continued the festivities by eating at the best Mexican food place, Mi Ranchitos. Its crazy but the kids love it and crave the "chips and salsa place." Our day wouldn't have been complete if it hadn't been for the stadium of fire fireworks. We staked out spots at Brent Brown down in Provo and enjoyed the brief excitement of the fire work show, then it was home to crash. We love the fourth of July. It wouldn't have been holiday if we hadn't completely crash from exhaustion.

Ta Dah!

So here are some random pix of the last couple months. I will try and do better of keeping my blog updated.

I just can't do it!

Pretty good trick thinkin I was really gunna get to updating my blog. Haha. Well I guess I could tell ya Im guna try again, but no promises. Im so far behind I don't know where to start. So this is what I will do. I will give ya a little update and post random pictures. Yeah good idea? I thought so.
So its summer. YEAH. We love it. Brad is enjoying the summer and break from school. He is accomplishing a lovely "honey-do" list and lovin every minute of it. ;) Brad has been able to spend so much more time with me and the boys it is great. I am really not looking forward to when I have to give him up to the books and studying. But I am so proud of him. He is half way done with his Masters. Thats right, come April my gangsta thug husband will have his Masters. What? Hola. I am still working part time on a Pediatric unit at AF hospital. I love my job but hate to work. I love every precious minute I have with my hubby and my sweet boys. We are enjoying each other and have done many fun things already this summer. Noah is having a blast this summer playing T-ball, swimming, riding bikes and motorcycles. Luke is loving playing outside. He is Noahs' little side kick and you would not believe the little guy is only two. He sure holds his own with the big boys. We are loving life and enjoying all that we have been given. Hopefully I will be better and keeping the blog updated. Thanks to all you who are reading.
