Wyoming

Before Bret had passed away we planned to go up to Wyoming with him and Britney for the 24th of July. Bret's best friend Jack who is his old mission companion lives up there with his wife and little boy. After Bret's passing Jack still wanted us all to come up and I am sure glad that he did. It is so crazy how Devin and I did not even know him and his wife very well before we went up there but we were all so comfortable that it felt like we had known them forever. I was great to be able to take Britney and Dylan up!
Devin got the shaft in this pic, his was poopy!

So this is Jack and Heathers dog Juck. This was the hardest part of the trip for me. I am not a animal lover and especially not ones that pretty well live in the house and are almost my size.
Juck is a awesome dog though I do have to admit. He would let the little kids do want ever they wanted to him. Dylan LOVED the dog!!!
So I like rodeos but I think I like dressing up for them a little more then the actual rodeo.

This is my FAVORITE picture from the whole trip!! What a couple of cute cowboys!

This was pretty funny. They had wild horses and the contestants had to saddle the horse and ride it around the arena. These horses were not having it.
We had to ride a bus from the park in ride to the rodeo grounds. Dylan thought it was pretty cool that he did not have to be seat belted in.
LOVE!! Devin and his mom found these matching shirts and they just had to get them.



So we went to the parade on Saturday morning and this is one of the floats that we saw. They were advertising some night club. They people on the float all had beers in there hands and you could smell it so we knew it was real beer. When they passed us they started throwing the beer all over each other. They were so drunk it was kind of funny.


When we got home from Wyoming we were showing my in laws the pictures that we had taken. when my father in law got to this pic he said "who is that Chinese girl in the picture?" So apparently I look Chinese nowEvery time Bret and Britney have went to Wyoming together they have always went to this restaurant called Sanfords. It became Bret's favorite place to eat. We had to keep up the traditional and go. It was very yummy but not very healthy. Devin had a sandwich that was deep fried chicken on a bun with onion rings and deep fried pickles on top! It just makes me sick thinking about it. My meal was not all deep fried like his was. Anyways at this restaurant they had this life size wiener so Devin just had to get a picture next to it.

We went and fed the ducks and geese at this little pond. It was fun until the geese surrounded us and started hissing.

VEGAS BABY!!

We Went to Vegas in June with Devins whole side of the family (Adults ONLY). It was really a lot of fun! I don't know why but Devin and I really enjoy Vegas. I LOVE the heat, but really we just enjoy shopping, walking up and down the strip and sitting in front of the Bellagio water show. I think I could sit there all night. Really on our honeymoon we stayed there one night and every 15min we were over by the window watching the show.
We were able to go as a family to the temple which was really fun. I don't think we have all done a session together since I got my endowments out. It was all of our first time in that temple so that was really cool. We went and ate in the cafeteria after which was a new experience for me and definitely cheaper then somewhere on the strip.


In the Bellagio they have this chocolate fountain that is in front of this little dessert shop. Anyways we had to get a picture with all the CHOCOLATE LOVERS. Yes Steve is the only male chocolate lover in our group, before us girls got into the family he got the shaft on desserts. Not anymore!!

Really I just love everything about the Bellagio!! The gardens are so pretty and it smells so yummy!

For those of you who have never gone, yes this bee is made out of real flowers!

Girls Camp 2010

Oh I love girls camp!! I am so sad that I just got released from Young Women's. I was really bad at taking pictures up at camp but here are a few fun pics

We played the game "minute to win it" She had to get the Oreo from her eye to her mouth by just moving her face. It was so funny to watch.


The swing was the big hit at camp, whenever there was free time that is where most of the girls were.
It was so much fun to have Devin come up for the night! He wanted to see if we could fit on the swing together, it was pretty fun!
So all the girls were making fun of me because I would not jump off the higher rock to get on the swing. I will admit it I am a chicken.

So our theme for camp was Treasure Seekers so that is why we are dressed up like pirates. I am so grateful for the treasures that I have in my life!

I am so grateful for the chance I was able to be in young women's and be with these awesome girls and leaders!

Whits Graduation

Whitney Graduated last week, I'm so proud. She graduated with a 4.0!!! She is planning on going to BYU in the fall and will study Anthropology. It is so crazy to think that when I graduated high school I new I was getting married!! Weird! It was a fun day the whole family (that lives in Utah) met at Brick Oven after to celebrate! I just love my family, I am so blessed!

Dylan

Dylan loves to help me cook. He loves spoons and to stir.Mom brought him over naked so he got one of my T-shirts to wear.


So I had my shoes laying around and Dylan decided to put them on. He walked so good in them it was funny.

Most Sunday morning Dylan comes over and plays while his mom gets ready for church. Usually Devin is still asleep and so we always make sure he gets up.


Dylan loves Devin so much. If Devin is in the room he is always right next to him. If Dylan needs a diaper change and Devin is in the room he makes sure Devin is the one to do it. Guess that is what Devin gets for being the favorite!

Kayden and Brody

Mary had brain surgery the first week of May and so I went and spent a day and watched her kids. It was so much fun. They are such fun and cute boys. So I am not very creative but wanted to do something fun with them. They both LOVE pizza so I had them make there very own. They had so much fun doing it. Brody kept licking the spoon that he was putting his sauce on with and Kayden kept eating the cheese:)






The finished product!

That next day Devin and I went and visited Mary. She was still not feeling very well but she is just so positive about everything. She had another hospital gown in the room and told me to put in on. So I did, don't know why?

Motocross

Devin, Justin, Kayden, and Kurt (Justin's brother) all went to Motocross when it came to Salt Lake. They had so much fun!! It was a very rainy day, there clothes and blanket were soaked when they got home. Mary and I were just glad we did not go instead we stayed home watched a chick flick and had some brownies ha ha.
Mary told them not to let Kayden have a Monster drink, do you think they listened?



Devin was so proud of the good/cheap seats he found
