Arkansas...here we come!

Dave and I leave for Arkansas tomorrow morning to stay with my sister Andrea and her husband Jonathan and their 3 kids, Jex, Stella, and Isaac. We are so excited!! We will have to post some pictures of all the fun things when we get back. See ya later!!

Go Bee's Baseball!

Last night we went to a Bee's Baseball game with Dave's brother Jason and his wife Lorelei and their little boy Christian. It was tons of fun. They played the Tucsan Sidewinders and ended up winning them 8-2. It was awesome. We went all out and did the whole baseball park food with nachos and ice cream (and of course Dave went and got 2 hotdogs, they were on for $1 though). I wish Dave and I had more time to go and do more fun things like this. I really enjoy it when we get to spend time together. PS...if your wondering what is on our nose in some of the pictures, Dave went and grabbed free stuff at a radio booth before the game and we opened them up and they were clown noses...lol.

Jack Johnson Concert

On Monday night Dave and I went to the Jack Johnson concert with a friend from school and her husband. It was tons of fun. I can't believe how many people were there. It was at the USANA amphitheater and the grass was completely covered in blankets. Here are some pictures and a video.

Salt Lake County Fair

So it is time for an update and I have posted a few things we have done in the past two weeks. One thing we did was go to the Salt Lake County Fair to watch Whitney and Jesse show their pigs. They both did really well and we enjoyed watching them. Whitney ended up taking 3rd in the showmanship category.

We had quite a bit of down time between the time they showed their pigs and then when they brought them back for showmanship, so Dave and I went walking around the fair. Well, we found a petting zoo and decided to go and feed a few of the animals. Don't worry we wash well after coming out of here, it was fun though.






I am glad we could go and watch Whitney and Jesse show their pigs. It reminded me of all of the things I was involved in when I was young, and I was always happy when people in my family could be there for me. Good job Whitney and Jesse, we are proud of you!

FRIED CHICKEN!!

So Dave's grandma Ina makes the best fried chicken ever, and we have been telling her forever that we wanted to come and have her teach us. She always told us anytime we wanted to come, she would. So finally we chose a day and had a fried chicken lesson. It was so much fun and we cooked SO much chicken (for only like 6 people eating-we did pretty well though). Anyway, it turned out so yummy and we had such a great time with his grandma. I took so many notes to get the recipe just like she does it (which will probably never compare) and we also got to look through a book she had written about her parents and learn more about her. Thanks Ina for such a great day!! We love you!

August 3rd...Christian and my dad's birthday!

So on August 3rd, Dave and I went with his parents and grandma to Kaysville to Jason and Lorelei's new home. It was Christian's 2nd birthday so we had dinner and celebrated. Here are some pictures.

It was also my dads birthday but he is in Washington DC, so we were not able to see him. Just wanted to let him know how much we love him though and hope he had a good birthday, and we can't wait til you get home!
