Better Late then Never

Last week (Aug 21) Steve and I celebrated our 4 year anniversary. It is amazing how quickly the time has gone by. It does not seem like we got married 4 years ago. We have created a lot of great memories and have grown a lot. As I reminisce about the past we have accomplished a lot. We have both graduated from collage, had a little girl plus one on the way, have moved 3 times, been to lots of fun places all over the country, and of course had our disagreements, but in the end we always remember that we love each other. I am so blessed to be married to such a wonderful man and hard working father!

For our special night we went out to dinner and then went shopping for some things. It was nothing over the top but still nice to get out and go on a date.

Florida

Last week we went to Florida with Steve's family to pick up his brother Kyle before he leaves on his mission. We also met up with some friends from Pennsylvania and Steve's Aunt Linda. We started in Fort Lauderdale, which is where Kyle was working over the summer. The first night we where there we spent a little time driving around Miami. That city is very cool to see at night! The following morning we went on an air boat ride through out the Everglades and saw an alligator show afterwards. The boat ride was a lot of fun!! We wanted to spend some time at the beach but got rained out after a while. Steve and his brother still jumped in the ocean and made the most of it. The next two days were spent at Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom in Disney World. We all had a lot of fun. I was surprised at how many rides I could do while being pregnant. I couldn't do the real fun rides like Splash Mountain and Space Mountain but I did get to do Pirates and the Haunted House. Sabrinna did very well on the trip but has had a little bit of a hard time adjusting back. It was a lot of fun to be in Florida and great to see Kyle.

Swimming with Teeg Teeg

This summer has been filled with swimming. This picture is of Sabrinna and her cousin Tegan, aka Teeg Teeg. They like to splash and will swim for hours. Its nice to see them playing so well together, it has not always been that way.

UVU

For a night out we went to the UVU concert (the new Utah Valley University). It was Steve, myself, Kellie, Ruth and Steve's boss and friend Eric. At the concert Josh Gracin, Colin Ray, and Joe Nichols. We all had a great time!

Schofield Lake...and Strawberry too

A couple of weeks ago we went up to Schofield Lake, which is up Spanish Fork Canyon, with my family. My parents like to fish so we took their fishing boat and jumped in the car for the day. While my parents were out on the lake fishing Steve and Theora decided to see if they could catch some of the fish that were swimming around our feet... with a cup. They were just tiny fish and after just a few minutes they had caught their first of four fish. They had a lot of fun trying to scare the fish a certain way and hope they could get it before it swam away. It was really fun to watch them!!! Don't worry it was catch and release.

After we were all done fishing, we decided to drive over the mountain to see Strawberry Lake. When we got to Strawberry it was neat because the fish there were spawning so we watched them try to swim up the river. It was a very scenic drive and made for a really fun day.

We Moved!

As some of you may know we moved about 3 weeks ago. Steve and I found a cute townhouse just north of Thanksgiving Point over in Lehi. We have really enjoyed being in our own space again and to finally not have most of our things in storage. Sabrinna has adjusted really well. The area is wonderful! There are lots of young families so there are lots of kids to play with. (Even though we have been to busy to really meet anyone yet.) Steve and I are very grateful to my parents for letting us live with them on and off for the last year.

Our home is a 3 bedroom 2 1/2 bath townhome. Its two stories which is good and bad. We have a wonderful family room downstairs. The laundry room is our hobby and my craft room. The main floor is the front room and kitchen. You can walk out the back door onto a fenced patio. Outside of the fence is a community playground which has been fun for Sabrinna. Then upstairs we have an office, Sabrinna's room (the blankets are on the window so its dark enough for her to sleep during the day), and our room. We did not paint the walls, its how the house came. Some of the color choices are great but others need some help! Any ways thats our new house we hope you guys like it as much as we do.

Flaming Gorge 4th of July Trip

For the 4th we went camping with one of Steve's mission friends and his family to Flaming Gorge. It was a really nice trip! We had fun boating and playing in the water.

Ultrasound!

After keeping it secret for 20 weeks. We finally decided that is was time to tell everyone that we are having another baby. That and I am showing now. We are way excited! Tanner, thats right we are having a boy, is due November 5. I had my ultrasound a couple of weeks ago. These pictures are not the greatest but they work. I was very lucky and was not very sick. Which was wonderful. We are very grateful and excited to have another baby join our family.

Diaper Changing

I was sitting at the computer the other day while Sabrinna was playing on the floor next to me. I looked over to find her wiping a stuffed animal and then trying to put a diaper on her. I did help her get the diaper on but she was the one to instigate the activity. So cute!

Many Fashions

We found a pair of cowboy boots and then needed to dress the part. The only thing missing is a cowgirl hat. My mom was given an apron because she is changing schools and going to work at AF as a caveman. I couldn't help but put it on her and see how she looked.

Lets go Jeepin'

Grandma Michelle got Sabrinna her very own 4-wheeler. Its a battery powered 4-wheeler that goes about 2 miles a hour. Sabrinna has had lots of fun playing on it. The minute we got it out of the box she was trying to play with it and was very frustrated that she had to wait for the battery to charge.

Puddle Jummping :)

Steve and I have a passion for four wheeling. With all the rain we have gotten lately we knew that we could find some fun roads to jeep on... lots of mud and puddles. We went up into the foothills of Alpine and sure enough found some fun! We had a blast driving through the puddles. By the end our white jeep was a light brown because of all the dirty water. Its glorified puddle jumping!
