* Grateful Stuff *

So I am grateful for food to eat, although, not when your little ones wipe it all over their face and hair. This was pizza gone bad. Why did I bother to stick a bib on him? I think I'll see if we can start a new trend, either bathtubs in the kitchen, or a dispose-all in bathtubs. But he made a funny silly face for the picture, so I forgive Creed.I am grateful for lakes. Here is Jax waving while tubing with Greg. Our nice friends took us boating. Thanks Spence and Celeste. Utah Lake was a bit murky, but the boys loved the boat and kept wanting to get in the water. Once they got in, they immediately wanted out.
Here is Greg getting some air. He loves wake boarding. You can see the "Y" on the mountain in the back ground. I've never been on Utah Lake, it was some pretty mountain views.
And I am grateful for such cute faces too look at every day. Too bad they can't always stay happy like this. Too often they get angry, or teary, or sad. But such is life as a toddler.
I am so grateful for my camera. I love to capture our life and have memories. And for the beauty around. Here are my favorite flowers, in my own back yard, taken today. And I am grateful for seasons. Especially summer! Happy Summer!

About me. I thought this was fun, even though it is all about me.

3 Joys: being with my 3 boys, going out to eat, watching home movies.

3 Wishes: that I could sing well, I wish I was a dedicated runner or really enjoyed working out, I wish to have 2 girls.

3 Don'ts: like or enjoy baths, don't like seafood, and I have a very real, extreme fear of SPIDERS!

3 Random Things: I've lived in 13 homes (includes college apt's.), my husband would say I'm obsessed with taking pictures, I LOVE cold cereal - anytime of day.

Now you do this too.

My Sweet Country!

I love America!! It's the best nation in the world! I can say that because I live here, I was "Born in the U.S.A." ha ha. I am a patriotic person. I love the flag, the music, the fireworks, BBQ's, family, friends, parades, and much more. What a great way to celebrate our Nation's Birthday! Here are some kodak moments of our summer and holiday weekend!

Creed being a big cheese for the camera. We love spending time out on our deck. Creed pulled out his toy rocking horse one day.

I realized I didn't have a picture of our good friends Celeste and Spencer posted. Here they are with our boys, checking out the yard below. July 4th, pool time. Funny faces.
Creed made this awesome ah struck face every time a firework went off.

Fireworks in the street with friends and family. Greg did a good job at lighting them off. Fun times.We spent our Saturday night at Jungle Jim's. The boys loved it and loved all the rides. Pretty fun place. We'll have to go back.
