Chicago Illinois Temple

Andrea, Jimmy & Brooklyn were sealed in the Chicago, IL Temple on June 18. It was a most amazing moment. Our whole gang was there along with Jimmy's Mom and sisters Allison & Emily. The Rieds and Val also joined us for the day.

I just couldn't not do it!

Sarah had gotten her haircut a month or so before we came out to Utah, then while out there Andi got hers done the same. I thought the cut would be so limiting but after watching them for several days with their hair I was inspired. Although I had just had 7 inches cut off 2 1/2 weeks prior, I called my hair stylist from the airport and got my haircut the day after I got home. I love it!

Brooke, still the CUTEST Grandbaby ever!

Isn't she just precious.

Our Trip to Utah, METAH, No UTAH

Andrea, Brooke and I left at 4:15am July 5th for Utah after being up well after midnight with all the 4th festivities. We flew out and although missed Cami's wedding were able to go to the reception that evening. It was just beautiful. I forgot my camera everywhere we went so only have pics from others we know that were there.

It was a great trip. We got to see my friend Rachel and family and visit with them for a little bit. All cute as ever. We stayed with my bestest friend, Sarah and family. As always it is great to be with them. They are just the best people you could ever ask to hang out with. Sarah, Andi and I went shopping, scrapped (well Sarah did her Christmas cards), Andi got her haircut, just hung out. It was fabulous. I celebrated my birthday while there, slept in and then scrapped and visited with Sarah all day. Who could ask for more. Missed my family but had a most wonderful time.

4th of July

We did all the typical things this 4th except hang out with Judd & Jen. (We missed them of course.) We went to the parade, had some friends over, did a cookout and went to the fireworks. It was good day!
