the day before we headed to the zoo in utah

 after the race they had so many activites to participate in.

4th of july

4th of july was a blast this year. we started with the parade in caldwell with cousins.

 then we all headed over to watch Grant play baseball and they won their games.
we then headed out to the lake for some boating fun, home for a bbq and some slip n slide action.

 ended the night with fireworks

july happenings

july was busy! starting off with me having emergency surgery to fix a ovarian cyst that had grown huge and burst and was filling my belly full of blood. the most painful and scary experience ever! josh was out of town and so was my mom but no worries tyson was there to save the day till josh could be there. then i spent the next few weeks recovery from surgery. rough!

 this picture was taken the night before i woke up to major pain.

 lucky for us our family jumped right in and someone always had our kids so that i could rest and recoop for that first week.

 owen fell out of his bed and hit his face on his wood rocking horse and ended up with a huge goose egg on his forehead and a sweet black eye.

 a lot of boating this summer

 the cuteness is real with this girl.

fathers day

 because of this amazing man i am able to have an incredible partner for eternity and a man who gave me sweet babies to raise together. love you joshy.
