My dad is from Arkansas so we went to visit family there. Then we went to Nauvoo and a bunch of church sites. It was great.<br /><br />Day 1- Saturday, June 19th<br /><br />We left on Saturday, June 19th. We flew into Kansas City and drove 4 hours to get to our timeshare in Branson, Missouri. We got there pretty late, but saw the coolest rainbow and cloud (the cloud seriously looked fake) while we were checking into the timeshare. We also spent the rest of the night watching and catching fireflies and watching the most amazing lightning storm off of the deck of our room. It seriously lite up the whole sky. It was awesome.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs3FLlMVBGvCrbZBG20BaIwKUCbVTk0iOyX0vkD4lnPnEyXpyq2U5Pon1y8lLMe3eqVG9iessd1mYConKblzTdhsTt4dS5GrQ6_rzDqyhR4R8-GGz2KHR7DBABhR2dG53QjfmYyPYUDW8/s1600/CIMG5537.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs3FLlMVBGvCrbZBG20BaIwKUCbVTk0iOyX0vkD4lnPnEyXpyq2U5Pon1y8lLMe3eqVG9iessd1mYConKblzTdhsTt4dS5GrQ6_rzDqyhR4R8-GGz2KHR7DBABhR2dG53QjfmYyPYUDW8/s400/CIMG5537.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5508383131100315490" border="0" /></a>Waiting at the SLC Airport to head to Kansas City.<br />Courtney, Blake, me, Britton, and Dad<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinc9YNKwdFNNsX72zzLFfGLgtavcMlzGpmBJnGXSFumUgKpK15Rm4NQ8Exr-JOXOqTH8rDltuKRMRcblL0PAfXe74b1Ll1xNcNhMsL2IBXr1GUOhyjGGge53I_k9e1Y2CP4ELTwKxMVAA/s1600/CIMG5546.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinc9YNKwdFNNsX72zzLFfGLgtavcMlzGpmBJnGXSFumUgKpK15Rm4NQ8Exr-JOXOqTH8rDltuKRMRcblL0PAfXe74b1Ll1xNcNhMsL2IBXr1GUOhyjGGge53I_k9e1Y2CP4ELTwKxMVAA/s400/CIMG5546.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5508386611918014370" border="0" /></a>Driving in the car from Kansas City, Missouri to Branson, Missouri -<br />this was only the beginning of the long road trip<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKohfjghGiryAJKCvfr-AM2bk_KLmDEWJlBB4r4qP-n6dLojhwViDxcIJyfCFppKxs-RvxYSiAvJcpzMvr-vohjiO7S-XDMCPYmK0Dajz6cBAguTg1TrIuRtSR-tHXeQcC-v23574LUws/s1600/rainbow.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKohfjghGiryAJKCvfr-AM2bk_KLmDEWJlBB4r4qP-n6dLojhwViDxcIJyfCFppKxs-RvxYSiAvJcpzMvr-vohjiO7S-XDMCPYmK0Dajz6cBAguTg1TrIuRtSR-tHXeQcC-v23574LUws/s400/rainbow.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5508381229878517442" border="0" /></a>Cool rainbow and cloud in Branson, Missouri - right by our timeshare<br /><br /></div>Day 2- Sunday, June 20th<br /><br />We left Branson early Sunday morning to get to 10:00 church in Mountain Home, Arkansas. It was a 2 1/2 hour drive. We went to church with family and then had dinner at our cousins house. We then drove around Mountain Home to show Britton where my dad grew up. It was Britton's first time there. He loved it. He asked if we could move there. It is so beautiful and green and there are lakes and rivers everywhere you turn. There are also a lot of different churches out there. In Utah you rarely see any other kind of churches besides LDS churches. Then we went to visit my grandma. She has dimensia and doesn't really remember us. She has a lady that stays at her house to help her. My grandpa died in May and she doesn't even know that he died. She knows he is gone because she always asks, "Where is that man?" It was great seeing her. I love her so much! We then went to visit my grandpa's grave. We then had to drive 2 1/2 hours to get back to Branson to go to bed. We were already sick of the car, but we still had 8 days to go.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEe89KFBqBzE95J5Vq0qtDJh9fUdkCNwIBbOXY5hb18TFV6MSL0f5kPuQnlETaraIHmA6Bb8ml1mbwBRZnHAnCmyneSprKe7rSC4SeMphCFghUt0RnNVkZowokXCudSG7Lkz4McLrqQNE/s1600/Flippin.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEe89KFBqBzE95J5Vq0qtDJh9fUdkCNwIBbOXY5hb18TFV6MSL0f5kPuQnlETaraIHmA6Bb8ml1mbwBRZnHAnCmyneSprKe7rSC4SeMphCFghUt0RnNVkZowokXCudSG7Lkz4McLrqQNE/s400/Flippin.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5508381223445414002" border="0" /></a>This was one of the churches that we had to stop at a take a picture.

I LOVE Silver Dollar City. It is an Ozark version of Lagoon. There are tons of shows and rides. This was my 5th time to Silver Dollar City and Britton's first time. It just keeps getting better everytime! My sister and I performed there 17 years ago. I was 8 and she was 11. We were on a clogging team that went on tour that summer to Silver Dollar City. It was so fun and we even got payed for it! The only issue is the weather there. It is SO HUMID. I love my dry Utah weather. After Silver Dollar City we went to Branson's Landing (a big outdoor mall that has a cool water and fire show). It was so nice walking around right next to the river.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrCpW4_MtOBhc394AZGdG8qpWoBPM8__6cXlmqlnaUs6wafmpAMeEf6__xT6qJ_N48uYc1WPZ1itlHmeHbxJ25x6uUDKRriMEyEKMUrktblUw7B5Lf4go9-IS8omD5zb-oHbV_j6Cfwso/s1600/CIMG5583.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrCpW4_MtOBhc394AZGdG8qpWoBPM8__6cXlmqlnaUs6wafmpAMeEf6__xT6qJ_N48uYc1WPZ1itlHmeHbxJ25x6uUDKRriMEyEKMUrktblUw7B5Lf4go9-IS8omD5zb-oHbV_j6Cfwso/s400/CIMG5583.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5500640390484846082" border="0" /></a>Silver Dollar City - the Wildfire and the Powder Keg.

My dad had to go to a meeting with his brothers about what was going to happen to the family estate now that grandpa had passed away. So Britton, Blake, Courtney, and I rode with him to Mountain Home and went to a Norfork Lake to go swimming. I love the lakes in Arkansas because the water is so warm. We then went to Cotter Springs to jump off the rope swing. We had a lot of fun trying to do tricks and flips off of the rope swing. Some were more successful than others. We had to be really careful going off the rope swing because there was a snake pit just to the left of the spring. A few snakes came out of the pit just after we had jumped and when I heard people talking about them that was the end of rope jumping for me. Then the rest of the family meet up with us to go boating. We went back to Norfork Lake and met mom, <a href="http://linsolds.blogspot.com/">Derek, Linsey, Braedon, and Daxton</a>. After boating we went to my Uncle Jess and Aunt Beth's house for a BBQ. They live on 300 acres in the middle of the Ozarks. It is so pretty. We rode their 4-wheelers around their land (we didn't get pics of this...sad).<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDG_T-IePRbSMwyjvhgBBrdE1m4JHmMXC7ZYLTGk_dGWw_-ZRKBUGzsuHkegnsGPqb1X7OqrQzxdTm81qXf3FdA0obLE5EXw_tKBWN8Sbjqa0JrG7nJtPtj__0rQipEG5Le3a256jHbG8/s1600/CIMG5602.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDG_T-IePRbSMwyjvhgBBrdE1m4JHmMXC7ZYLTGk_dGWw_-ZRKBUGzsuHkegnsGPqb1X7OqrQzxdTm81qXf3FdA0obLE5EXw_tKBWN8Sbjqa0JrG7nJtPtj__0rQipEG5Le3a256jHbG8/s400/CIMG5602.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5508384945883307314" border="0" /></a>Little brother Blake and his girlfriend Courtney<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdq0aR0bMWwHZJ8F7_M1qwmtJWhXJLhvdk79SAzOxOhIsBxw1D9-FCTeyGlRJJPWG1JzsG4j9pkzdYlu89prV3r1dX7WgUu91ZEm9LrsCHSvN30X1RkOwyXGRbn10amWdXhcFh07ogEKU/s1600/CIMG5608.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdq0aR0bMWwHZJ8F7_M1qwmtJWhXJLhvdk79SAzOxOhIsBxw1D9-FCTeyGlRJJPWG1JzsG4j9pkzdYlu89prV3r1dX7WgUu91ZEm9LrsCHSvN30X1RkOwyXGRbn10amWdXhcFh07ogEKU/s400/CIMG5608.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5508386602111602402" border="0" /></a>The water at Cotter Springs was COLD.

After canoeing we went to my cousin Paul's house that is right behind my grandparent's house. He made a yummy pasta dish for us and we just sat around chatting all night.<br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuMGGYLHHmwPctVOLsQK9IZ3xqMKCBdO3RJ1sNm3QOLLzvUYjIjEjKPtEgtQopejD587Z08bWzTJJN3v1czSC4HH8RzQ_YzD3xXNNoqkmtL30QpHEfneWJ5QiAEUqa1hYli3DL7sAQc6g/s1600/CIMG5635.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuMGGYLHHmwPctVOLsQK9IZ3xqMKCBdO3RJ1sNm3QOLLzvUYjIjEjKPtEgtQopejD587Z08bWzTJJN3v1czSC4HH8RzQ_YzD3xXNNoqkmtL30QpHEfneWJ5QiAEUqa1hYli3DL7sAQc6g/s400/CIMG5635.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5500642204093116802" border="0" /></a>The crew getting ready to go canoeing - Aunt Beth, Blake, Courtney, Britton, me, Dad, and Uncle Jess<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTaycqjlvuSimIhF6qXYysoLUX6IIPyZFYgKB8Ud74MYgGtYofXYHQPAcmHaCWGX37UVOrihgXOkuxQ8XyxBAY9DJP3YKGLWgBERTQQ6DoWMLDSd3vFTYroWHyVtSB0h_KKc9XPUlH8IQ/s1600/CIMG5644.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTaycqjlvuSimIhF6qXYysoLUX6IIPyZFYgKB8Ud74MYgGtYofXYHQPAcmHaCWGX37UVOrihgXOkuxQ8XyxBAY9DJP3YKGLWgBERTQQ6DoWMLDSd3vFTYroWHyVtSB0h_KKc9XPUlH8IQ/s400/CIMG5644.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5500643548529660866" border="0" /></a>I love the scenery!

After dinner we kept driving and finally made it to Nauvoo around 10:00 that night.

Joseph Smith arrived at Carthage Jail on June 24, 1844. It was really neat to be in Carthage Jail exactly 166 years since Joseph Smith was actually in the jail. His martyrdom was on June 27, 1844. It was cool to hear that the jail keeper and his wife looked up to the men in the jail and tried to protect them. We then went to Nauvoo and walked around and saw the shops and homes and all of the historical sites there. That night Blake, Courtney, Britton, and I went to do baptisms at the Nauvoo Temple. That temple is so pretty and it is amazing how they rebuilt it to be just like the original Nauvoo Temple. I have been to Nauvoo 5 times before and I remember when I was little and we would see the original foundation of where the Nauvoo Temple was. Now it is amazing that we can go to the Nauvoo Temple and do temple work.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6fCx_iqos7agNFltEt-hO9s-GfMVv-feveiZ0z3tpROd9DU9vzfkDZaKtDZf5Fk4rmnfarrIAfrAg6sIGajTuOIZeHobe-TLhlccVFyijcknD0rukzKGVyxLZLuvdP7MhOW414I2ZGro/s1600/CIMG5676.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6fCx_iqos7agNFltEt-hO9s-GfMVv-feveiZ0z3tpROd9DU9vzfkDZaKtDZf5Fk4rmnfarrIAfrAg6sIGajTuOIZeHobe-TLhlccVFyijcknD0rukzKGVyxLZLuvdP7MhOW414I2ZGro/s400/CIMG5676.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5508400020897285282" border="0" /></a>Entering Carthage Jail<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWFtwKJP9ru6f3v3JOsgOULoiAv2SdmHJaJc1UNTG08f2Uo4lXBgTTVaMBCGXwTmjuu4792agn5w-8RKNAa2UVu2sVXEPLbcqYLSULhxlXT5lRZkIx2tqsfftkp3UmvArp8S_hvkBgDxQ/s1600/CIMG5683.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWFtwKJP9ru6f3v3JOsgOULoiAv2SdmHJaJc1UNTG08f2Uo4lXBgTTVaMBCGXwTmjuu4792agn5w-8RKNAa2UVu2sVXEPLbcqYLSULhxlXT5lRZkIx2tqsfftkp3UmvArp8S_hvkBgDxQ/s400/CIMG5683.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5500643564348225202" border="0" /></a>The door of the room that the mob shot at where Joseph, Hyrum, Willard Richards, and John Taylor were staying<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxburOjyaO3MUdoj4gC4lhK-VE-tv8MKg3KvfdZR-HOGPwK86snCYL60Qj8aysT-gOjW5HKS0lwNpBO52sn1_7wHdR3EHdnwG_MF8oG2Li4SVibyfmD66JQTF2CsOmBjWULWyheKHqkHE/s1600/CIMG5682.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxburOjyaO3MUdoj4gC4lhK-VE-tv8MKg3KvfdZR-HOGPwK86snCYL60Qj8aysT-gOjW5HKS0lwNpBO52sn1_7wHdR3EHdnwG_MF8oG2Li4SVibyfmD66JQTF2CsOmBjWULWyheKHqkHE/s400/CIMG5682.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5508400030745509826" border="0" /></a>The window that Joseph Smith jumped/fell out of when the mob shot him.

This was a wonderful experience that I got to share with Britton, mom, dad, Linsey, and Derek. Then while the rest of the family went on a carriage ride through Nauvoo, Britton and I went to a nearby city Keokuk, Iowa. We rented a plane and Britton flew over the Mississippi River and over Nauvoo. It was so beautiful. I was a little scared because it was windy that day, but Britton is a great pilot and I trusted him. We had a great time up there. It is definitely beautiful land.

On our way we went to visit Hans Mill, Far West, and Adam-Ondi-Ahman. It amazes me all that the saints had to go through and how many times they were driven out of the land that they called home. They had to move and rebuild so many times. We then arrived at our hotel in Kansas City, Missouri. When we arrived and checked in...guess who we saw? We saw Sister Thompson from the General Relief Society Presidency. She was with some other sisters from the General Relief Society Board. We said hi to her and told her that we were from Utah and we were visiting the church sites.<br /></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp2EjG2Nc7e2JYwysfCf7ZgJJZ14zhSuZcEhw07pI4ow1mfO7sLnYhs2SH_yXIWNUMhEKj2GVegV47FYrMUGjixlWwlJUc0q8iCPIEQo2gQRN74NJzaSjT7qHJfrBbP8u5W15mM8qNIPM/s1600/CIMG5804.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp2EjG2Nc7e2JYwysfCf7ZgJJZ14zhSuZcEhw07pI4ow1mfO7sLnYhs2SH_yXIWNUMhEKj2GVegV47FYrMUGjixlWwlJUc0q8iCPIEQo2gQRN74NJzaSjT7qHJfrBbP8u5W15mM8qNIPM/s400/CIMG5804.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5508414576332032850" border="0" /></a>It is really hard to get to Hans Mill because it is off of a dirt road and it really muddy.

I haven't updated this blog since March. Life just gets too busy and putting off updating the blog gets easier and easier. So here I am ready to update you on life since March.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">April</span><br />I turned 25! I was off-track on my birthday so I spent it shopping with my mom and then Britton and I went out to eat that night. Nothing too exciting. Birthdays just aren't as fun when you are old.<br /><br />Britton and I celebrated our 3rd Anniversary. We didn't do anything fancy because I was back on track teaching and Britton was in the middle of finals. We just went to Olive Garden and then rented a movie.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">May</span><br />My Grandpa VanderStek passed away on May 6th. He fell two weeks before that and was in the hospital and had to have a hip replacement. He was 87 years old and his body just couldn't recover from the surgery. My mom, dad, sister, two brothers and I went out to the funeral in Arkansas. It was a sad time, but also a joyous time because we hadn't seen most of our cousins for over 4 years (and some even longer than that). We had a great time getting together to reminisce about the good times we had with grandpa. I know families are eternal and I will see my grandpa again someday.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">June</span><br />Britton turned the big 25! <br /><br />I finished my 3rd year teaching school! I love my job and can't believe that I had taught for 3 years. It goes by way too fast.<br /><br />My family went on a trip to Arkansas, Branson, and Nauvoo. We had already planned our trip out to Arkansas before we knew my grandpa was going to pass away. Britton was very sad that he could not meet my grandpa. My grandpa had been a pilot and Britton wanted to talk to him about flying and hear about all of his stories. Britton was able to talk to a lot of my aunts and uncles about my grandpa and his flying days. It was fun to hear all those stories. I will be posting more about this trip later...and LOTS of pics!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">July</span><br />We celebrated the 4th and 24th of July with friends and family.<br /><br />Britton and I wrote the song for Trek this year. The theme was "All For the Kingdom of God."<br /><br />Started my 4th year of teaching. I teach at a year-round school (Jordan Ridge - the school I went to when I was little). Met my new class and am loving teaching! I can't believe I am starting my 5th week of school tomorrow!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">August</span><br />Britton went on the High Adventure with the priests. They went to Jackson Hole and he absolutely loved it!<br /><br />We had a family "camp-out" in my parents backyard. It is just easier to camp that way with little kids.<br /><br /><br />Well I hope you enjoyed the update. I will be posting more about some of the things you read up above.

Since Britton broke his foot right before Thanksgiving, he couldn't put up Christmas lights this year. Well, at least on the top of our roof. He was so bummed because we did it last year and loved it. So one day we put up the lights together right above the garage and on the tree. Our sweet neighbor Lana came over one night when Britton wasn't home and said that she was going to have her son Parker (who works with Britton) put up the lights on the top of our roof. She knew Britton wanted them up there so she said he could do it. He did it while we were at the BYU/Utah game. We came home and the lights were on the roof and Britton was shocked. He was so happy. Thanks Lana and Parker! You're great!</div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7qB54hGauJGbwEo2_348x8yCzTcWFVdnwBTQ7wxoCD1edQLedGcRvfYGiJakgRg0xxj8610HdoPdHEVYkHVVQypOl57eG53PSq-Lz2UpOUIxYde4Pt0ar3FKcyqaDoewbfOAwblnQ-XQ/s1600-h/182.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7qB54hGauJGbwEo2_348x8yCzTcWFVdnwBTQ7wxoCD1edQLedGcRvfYGiJakgRg0xxj8610HdoPdHEVYkHVVQypOl57eG53PSq-Lz2UpOUIxYde4Pt0ar3FKcyqaDoewbfOAwblnQ-XQ/s400/182.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5423476593054601186" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Okay...so Britton wanted to take a picture of me when I woke up Christmas morning.

They had saved it on the computer, but it crashed. They thought they lost it, but Preston found it and edited it and sent it to Britton for Christmas. It was the sweetest Christmas present ever! Right after Britton opened it and saw what it was, he immediately put it in to watch it. I have only seen Britton cry once before. Now I have seen him cry twice. He totally cried while he watched the movie. It was so cute! He is really close with his brother even though they are 9 years apart. Thanks Preston!

As most of you know, Britton is a Utah fan and I am a BYU fan. My parents have season tickets to the BYU games. My dad didn't want to go to the game so he let Britton and I have their tickets. He thought we would enjoy it more. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves...well, at least most of the time. The game was kind of crazy. The officiating was horrible throughout the whole game. They had to review almost every play and they even threw the flag two or three times even though there wasn't a penalty. There was even one play that the officials couldn't tell us what # the penalty was on. It was weird. Both teams didn't play so hot, but BYU was the lucky one to come out on top. Well, lucky for me I guess. Britton was so cute. He was a little speck of red in a big sea of blue where we were sitting. People didn't really give him a hard time. They were actually quite nice to him. They all thought it was cute that we are married, but cheer for rival teams. Britton was a good sport. He didn't really get upset when the U lost. Overall, we had a fun time together. It was fun going to the game. I love watching football, but I do enjoy it more when I am actually there.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3LNScQ7IyJLoEFfZTmtY2YKipofOUrH_ZvIbaX-bY10JLn5WZcmilQHR83uAiTqIFUA23qt-Ojgj1XzTzgov19T88E4udIFzRFtHjFLzdkD5tGK9Ag1QCmXHbmp29mI3IHogjGXSrB06F/s1600/005.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3LNScQ7IyJLoEFfZTmtY2YKipofOUrH_ZvIbaX-bY10JLn5WZcmilQHR83uAiTqIFUA23qt-Ojgj1XzTzgov19T88E4udIFzRFtHjFLzdkD5tGK9Ag1QCmXHbmp29mI3IHogjGXSrB06F/s400/005.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5409669349828374658" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Waiting for the game to start.

This was a long task for him. Britton goes flying two times a week which seems like a lot, but overall it takes FOREVER to build hours. Britton studied like crazy for this test. He was super nervous, but I knew he would pass. He started with a oral test where an examiner sits down and asks questions to test his knowledge. Then he went on a flight test to show off his flying abilities. Overall, the test took him 5 hours. I am so proud of Britton and this accomplishment. Now he can take anyone flying with him. Any takers?</div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhITZTNg5FoRo0IE-QBzPpwMZ9SZzfDQqCdxQwxT3FYv4cwTHOyf3cVPUROmXAUxzXK9PYQwXyXI1D41Zmq9HYD2D7i94n5XW6np8F0N8WOiODifQ04S0QhBKxGJspKrMNepavsOQfx1SoN/s1600/004.JPG" style="text-decoration: none;"><img style="text-align: left;display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px; " src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhITZTNg5FoRo0IE-QBzPpwMZ9SZzfDQqCdxQwxT3FYv4cwTHOyf3cVPUROmXAUxzXK9PYQwXyXI1D41Zmq9HYD2D7i94n5XW6np8F0N8WOiODifQ04S0QhBKxGJspKrMNepavsOQfx1SoN/s400/004.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5407017066701723522" /></a> </div><br />Now for the bad news...<br /><br />Britton broke his foot on Tuesday, Nov. 17th. He was playing church basketball. Britton went up to rebound the ball and take it back down the court. He jumped up to get the ball and when he came down he landed wrong on his foot. He said that he went straight down and couldn't get up. He got light-headed and felt hot. Some buddies helped him up and he drove right home. He came in the room and told me he was hurt. Britton doesn't usually complain so I knew something was wrong. We iced his foot, wrapped it and elevated it thinking it was just a sprain. <div><br /></div><div>When he woke up the next morning he said that his foot felt fine. That was before he tried to walk on it. He got up out of bed and then immediately fell back on the bed. He couldn't put any pressure on his foot. I knew then that something was really wrong. So I told him to get ready and that I was going to take him to Urgent Care on my way to school. Well, we arrived at Urgent Care, but it didn't open until 9:00am. So luckily my mom just lives down the street. I asked her if I could drop him off there and if she would take him back at 9:00am. Of course she said yes. My mom is so great! My parents also have crutches from when my dad had ankle surgery, so Britton got lucky and is using those. Well, the doctor at Urgent Care said that he had broken his foot. So he put on a soft cast and then told Britton that he had to go to a foot specialist to get a boot or a real cast on. </div><div><br /></div><div>Luckily, Britton broke his LEFT foot so he could drive himself later to the doctors. This whole ordeal as been crazy. I feel so bad for Britton. I don't like to see him in pain. He will have to wear a boot for 6 weeks. The sad thing about this is that he can't go fly. He is really bummed about that. Well, we will make it through these next 6 weeks. These things just happen! <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaGqYHeiNWwZ8rOPtpyltRWepcwRm2ZCCq6We8v7M4g9lb0KwPuMkKlGLwfNQ_j2quO1bOI3voiSdk6v6is619y4JP3xseql99QluJD0BC_1l-E3tdzkAQDVRoIRvHBz5XSQuyHMBcwREn/s1600/002.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaGqYHeiNWwZ8rOPtpyltRWepcwRm2ZCCq6We8v7M4g9lb0KwPuMkKlGLwfNQ_j2quO1bOI3voiSdk6v6is619y4JP3xseql99QluJD0BC_1l-E3tdzkAQDVRoIRvHBz5XSQuyHMBcwREn/s400/002.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5407021633758801282" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqDc3Z_2JbRgP6fNa-FR4Cn07sr-YeoYY8acwTDYzGgSsdrTBZIrh2ik7xFnLCwCl9T_f82dlC9jDwbq6CzVa0a0pfLrrXz_ASllGCGCS4LC6NaBYwok4w3f2lFr2aEFuNcwsAkj1KEliC/s1600/001.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqDc3Z_2JbRgP6fNa-FR4Cn07sr-YeoYY8acwTDYzGgSsdrTBZIrh2ik7xFnLCwCl9T_f82dlC9jDwbq6CzVa0a0pfLrrXz_ASllGCGCS4LC6NaBYwok4w3f2lFr2aEFuNcwsAkj1KEliC/s400/001.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5407021627161736386" /></a></div>Britton and Aubreyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11311773865246885383noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2316522615720973203.post-89208497931623171592009-11-15T11:51:00.000-08:002009-11-15T12:31:25.976-08:00Our Engagement!3 years ago today we got engaged! <div>I'm mostly writing this so that down the road we can read about our engagement. I know that I will always remember how Britton proposed, but I wanted to write out each detail so we don't forget about the "little" things that happened. <div><br /></div><div>November 15th is a very significant date for us. As most of you know, Britton and I met when we were 14 in seminary. We obviously couldn't date, but we were good friends. Right before we both turned 16, Britton's family moved to Denver. So we never got to go on our first date together until we were 18. Britton came back to Utah to go to college. We started hanging out and eventually he asked me out for our first date. Our first date was on November 15, 2003. We went and saw the movie Elf and then went to eat at Silver Fork Lodge up in Big Cottonwood Canyon. Afterwards we went to get hot chocolate at 7-Eleven that is at the bottom of the canyon. It was a great first date!</div><div><br /></div><div>So...now to the engagement part...</div><div><br /></div><div>Britton got home from his mission in July 2006. He obviously went back to his Denver home when he returned from his mission. So we would mostly talk on the phone every night and he took a few trips out to Utah during the next few months. We eventually started talking about marriage each night on the phone. He came out to Utah in October for General Conference. I thought he was going to propose then, but he didn't. I knew he was moving back out to Utah at the end of December so he could start the next semester at UVU. So I figured he would propose then. Well...he totally surprised me and came out in November. I had no clue this was happening. He had told my parents and all of my siblings that he would be proposing on Nov. 15th. They had all kept it a secret from me which impressed me because my family shares everything. </div><div><br /></div><div>That weekend before, my parents called me to ask if I could come home on Wednesday (Nov. 15th) to take my grandma out to dinner. Nov. 15th is my grandparents wedding anniversary and my grandpa had passed away the year before. So they said the whole family was going to take my grandma out to dinner since it was their anniversary. I told my parents that I had class that night, but I could email my professor to let him know I wasn't going to be there. Well...later I found out that my parents had already emailed my professor to tell him that I was going to get engaged that night. So he already knew I wasn't going to be there, but me not knowing that emailed him to tell him I was going to be in South Jordan that night. So he emailed me back and said that was fine and he would email me the notes from class later. </div><div><br /></div><div>So...on Nov. 15th Britton flew out in the morning. He met with my dad to have lunch and to ask him if he could marry me. Then he took the rest of the afternoon to get everything together for that night. That night I drove home to my parents house. When I got to my parents house I got in their car and started heading up the street. Then all of a sudden my dad took a left at the light instead of a right which was the way to my grandma's house. I asked him why we were going this way. He said he needed gas. So we headed down the street towards the gas station. Before we got to the Sinclair, which is right next to South Jordan Middle School, my dad turned into the school parking lot. I asked him what we were doing. Then all of a sudden, I saw someone walk out of the seminary building holding flowers. I couldn't tell it was Britton because it was dark outside. I said, "Who is that?" Then it hit me that it was Britton. I was seriously in shock. I didn't know what to do. My parents finally said, "Get out of the car." So I got out and ran to him to give him a hug. Then he led me inside where he decorated the seminary classroom where we had met when we were 14. He had our favorite country music playing and had twinkling lights and candles everywhere. He asked me to dance. Then he got on his knee and said some cute stuff then asked me to marry him. Of course I said yes. I was so excited! Then he told me that he had to propose on a day that meant something to us. Then he told me we were going to recreate our first date. So we went up to Silver Fork Lodge and had dinner and then watched Elf. Then he told me we were going to start a new tradition. He bought the cutest snowflake mugs for hot chocolate. We got hot chocolate at the same 7-Eleven and poured them into our mugs. Our new tradition is to drink hot chocolate out of our engagement mugs every Nov. 15th. </div><div>I loved that Britton surprised me! He is the sweetest. I am so glad I married him! I am the luckiest girl in the world! </div></div>Britton and Aubreyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11311773865246885383noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2316522615720973203.post-48105364004995186082009-11-04T19:47:00.000-08:002009-11-04T19:59:10.764-08:00Halloween!<div style="text-align: center;">Halloween was very fun this year!

Then we went over to my parents house where all the grandkids were in their cute costumes. They were all so adorable! Then we went with our friends Jenny and Peter to a corn maze and afterwards went to their house for hot chocolate. It was a very eventful and busy Halloween!

I have become really attached to long hair, but recently I have found myself thinking how nice it would be to have short hair. So after much contemplation, I decided to get my haircut. My cute friend <a href="http://amberlyandrob.blogspot.com/"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;">Amberly</span></i></a> cut my hair. She is amazing. She gave me lots of tips of how to style short hair because it has been forever since I had it. I really like it. Britton says it makes me look more mature. Now only if it made me act more mature! :) Thanks again Amberly!</div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6k4sxsD8lC_C0GFjfSJE1UoNabsf3RMg43RTtBwIl1OQjyQ3uvOMhUerfHjj7rwf7qvOVrAD3PztYicswkctLLPToaMIbeleWpi5lyTO3rVS842yF0xnnzwWuDzdW2muzMHoqWtguOfHU/s1600-h/027.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6k4sxsD8lC_C0GFjfSJE1UoNabsf3RMg43RTtBwIl1OQjyQ3uvOMhUerfHjj7rwf7qvOVrAD3PztYicswkctLLPToaMIbeleWpi5lyTO3rVS842yF0xnnzwWuDzdW2muzMHoqWtguOfHU/s400/027.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5388155936808227954" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSgXWmceKB50RUFg4bz5KfPNCrksfvE4Wv3xFXOR5b6Hl-jnkqW2z8Wgw75EOnKarKoe9EeSpOhI-X9bVzmtmWQ8g0dttvhx9VCwb7v7cLCwqNNoIEwx6NMcsT6KM_72kg1K7eRud3DjX9/s1600-h/026.JPG" style="text-decoration: none;"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSgXWmceKB50RUFg4bz5KfPNCrksfvE4Wv3xFXOR5b6Hl-jnkqW2z8Wgw75EOnKarKoe9EeSpOhI-X9bVzmtmWQ8g0dttvhx9VCwb7v7cLCwqNNoIEwx6NMcsT6KM_72kg1K7eRud3DjX9/s400/026.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5388155925911709042" /></a>Britton and Aubreyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11311773865246885383noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2316522615720973203.post-1009455794091651832009-09-10T18:04:00.000-07:002009-09-10T20:46:55.788-07:00Keith Urban Concert!Britton gave me tickets to Keith Urban for my birthday back in April.

Let me explain....<div>Britton and I were called by the Stake Presidency to be the Stake Girls Camp Music Coordinators. What a perfect calling! We were asked to write a theme song for camp. Their theme this year was "I Can." Britton sat down the night we were called and came up with most of the lyrics. We added the guitar and a melody and it turned out great. We have tried to write a few songs together before and we get half way through and tend to get stuck. This song came so easily and we know that our Heavenly Father was helping us and giving us inspiration. </div><div><br /></div><div>Britton was also asked to learn some hymns and camp songs on his guitar so they could sing other songs at camp. We were both really excited to go until I switched tracks. I was teaching D track, but then I got moved up to 3rd grade and A track. My first week of teaching school was this week and so was Girls Camp. So I told Britton that he was going to have to go by himself. He was a little hesitant at first, but then he warmed up to the idea and decided it would be fine. </div><div><br /></div><div>We went around to each ward to teach the girls the song before Girls Camp so Britton wouldn't have to try and teach them the song up there. It was really fun to hear each ward sing the song that we wrote. I had Britton video tape the song while he was up there so I could hear it with the whole stake singing it. Here it is...</div><div><br /></div><div>After he filmed the song, Britton had all the girls say thank you to me. It was so sweet. I got all teary eyed when I heard that. I wish I could have been up there, but I had to start teaching those 3rd graders! Britton loved being up there and he had some really spiritual experiences. Thanks honey for being so brave to go without me. I'm glad you had fun!</div><div><br /></div><br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dzvR9-AYUg7L_hX7U1mxXVoH8ukH3PgIhMzHkDZkL85-hw9bTeMZKf484gE3rA8jhbpr7Od6sBMpbXLUSeOWA' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><object id="BLOG_video-FAILED" class="BLOG_video_class" width="320" height="266" contentid="FAILED"></object><div><br /></div><div>Sorry...the movie of the song is having a hard time uploading.

We decided since we have little kids in the family that it would be best to have it in my parents backyard. It was so fun and relaxing. We set up the tents and then we set off homemade rockets. My brother-in-law made a homemade rocket launcher the other day, so we all decided to make rockets instead of do fireworks.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8odVgCoUiKNoQjwrwWgy3M3kZaNsKZ0JzdDAbvPdjIDaAAsqpdyDmoWLJRgexbU0hI3wOUeQfClOoaL_B0Iz0FjAxa3KO70gD3_PQwf_dKnUThZBnmugCyIWH3yS1KgqNbRQGiqeeN9xc/s1600-h/001.JPG"><img style="display:block;

Happy Birthday you two handsome guys! Then we cleaned everything up and got in our tents to sleep. And then...it started raining! It was a crazy night. There was on and off rain the whole night. We didn't really care, but Britton did tell me that we have a leak in our tent and it was right over his head. I'm sorry honey. He didn't have a good nights sleep! Overall, it was a great 24th of July!Britton and Aubreyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11311773865246885383noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2316522615720973203.post-34332130035915069052009-07-05T16:01:00.000-07:002009-07-05T16:53:20.899-07:004th of July!Yesterday morning Britton wanted to take me up in an airplane to see him fly. Of course, I was super scared, but I also trust Britton and I wanted to support him in his flying. So I decided to go up with him. It was actually so fun! It was really cool to see the Salt Lake Valley from above. Britton did an awesome job up there. I have to say that I got way nervous before we landed. I always get nervous before the landings even on big airplanes. So I was holding on for dear life with one hand and video taping Britton's landing with the other hand. The landing was awesome! I have never felt anything so smooth. I was very impressed! I am so proud of Britton and how hard he is working on becoming a pilot.<br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dxXDETPz5l4TqpfQdNt3W4BVxnaAHaRmio5GWC-gu9SnrcekDIiRSXVmlfC442LkMZ5WZwyjUNNTJY1TQ5nSw' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2e9a_CRImW19MSmvQgv1RbAEPySpN04kd2N5GXUSy38f0iw36wTPLT42LcOv5ujvYSv0ygxOjLGGz8GGqMWowdSuvi9q9ryRvQYY39d8VCq6XsuGdQq5QeUT32JQTrLDd0wdQHtwb227X/s1600-h/003.JPG"><img style="display:block;

It was the last day of school. I have mixed emotions about this. I loved my class this year. I had some really good kids. Of course I love when school is over so I get a break, but then I also have to loose my really cute class. I will really miss them. Good thing I am teaching 3rd grade next year so I will still get to see them! <br /><br />The other great thing about today was that Britton got to fly solo for the first time! About 3 weeks ago his instructor told him that he was ready to solo. He was so excited! Well, the weather has not be very cooperative lately. So he has been waiting and waiting to fly solo. So today when he left to fly, I asked him if he thought today was the day. He said yes, but then he has said that on other days so I didn't really think of it. Then...I got the text message at school that he did it! I am so proud of him! <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8b_pfiH1TCEqMF0RoIGgVb8nNOVJQpmUAPEp_2ECYQrvHdAbl4o2UTavpeBxveSOEjBN8HIbMmpXlIxKvlbkbfpTaaOKd4zWFD38TAyHP_C4DjYDAElCodPYtwcyTzkbDBNmFlx9b_ifg/s1600-h/firstsolo.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 234px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8b_pfiH1TCEqMF0RoIGgVb8nNOVJQpmUAPEp_2ECYQrvHdAbl4o2UTavpeBxveSOEjBN8HIbMmpXlIxKvlbkbfpTaaOKd4zWFD38TAyHP_C4DjYDAElCodPYtwcyTzkbDBNmFlx9b_ifg/s320/firstsolo.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354044043422422754" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhii0DJesCJO_6j3FssMyYUKpA1F52MbSHkzZXY5TF_JSzs9XyYR6kFvX8Nj3HrpJqFsEa3hxy7Ea20qK1XCtWHhFORoGwMdlMIoJ25v_w_lHDu3yHR9FJukt_Z7anvJoFTEnx0IgDYcizL/s1600-h/firstsolo1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 234px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhii0DJesCJO_6j3FssMyYUKpA1F52MbSHkzZXY5TF_JSzs9XyYR6kFvX8Nj3HrpJqFsEa3hxy7Ea20qK1XCtWHhFORoGwMdlMIoJ25v_w_lHDu3yHR9FJukt_Z7anvJoFTEnx0IgDYcizL/s320/firstsolo1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354044045960442626" /></a>Britton and Aubreyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11311773865246885383noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2316522615720973203.post-45957806144352110882009-06-13T13:41:00.000-07:002009-06-14T12:25:12.923-07:00Good Weather (for one day) and Birthday Party!On Friday we celebrated all of the June birthdays in our family. We have a community pool in our neighborhood so we figured it is June and the weather will be nice so we can have a swimming party. Well this whole last week the weather was rainy and gross. We kept watching the weather and it showed that Friday was the only day that the weather would be decent. Well, lucky for us it was! It was a beautiful warm/almost hot day! Definitely a perfect day to go swimming.

We headed down to Arizona to visit Britton's sister and her new baby. We headed down on Friday and drove 14 hours to get there. It took forever, but it was totally worth it. We had so much fun with Erin and Lylah! We were really sad that Dave wasn't there, but we understand that he had an air show. On Saturday we went out to Davis Monthon Air Force Base to see where Dave is stationed. It was fun to see the A-10 Warthog that Dave flies.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-bA66uaqkJZsRa2n7kiN1l6R8xS6aPCQsr3SpLhxKGeGLcQ9S9huAFXVyhPHysH6aw7WSCgwNeYqGCBXXkaQz71jcja7Eqqydg98HmGs1NaUFEsOLyVPa77h2adPqvvLUAHka77bYtiKZ/s1600-h/146.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-bA66uaqkJZsRa2n7kiN1l6R8xS6aPCQsr3SpLhxKGeGLcQ9S9huAFXVyhPHysH6aw7WSCgwNeYqGCBXXkaQz71jcja7Eqqydg98HmGs1NaUFEsOLyVPa77h2adPqvvLUAHka77bYtiKZ/s320/146.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338479727489678578" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8gXxibFC_t0Fe6eynGAD_McBvhQFY6IPcPEuOQYmTBEiUAteouTaG1z3mki0Rh_IalEgu-ZZ0qLvTLSQ4_skxqj_IdkgDI8QLqOrJJOj9XxvAPs8q8GLe0gsOtqAmrR_iKbSiTSaSbGP3/s1600-h/147.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8gXxibFC_t0Fe6eynGAD_McBvhQFY6IPcPEuOQYmTBEiUAteouTaG1z3mki0Rh_IalEgu-ZZ0qLvTLSQ4_skxqj_IdkgDI8QLqOrJJOj9XxvAPs8q8GLe0gsOtqAmrR_iKbSiTSaSbGP3/s320/147.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338479940704528978" /></a>After spending some time at the Air Force Base Britton went to the Pima Air and Space Museum and Erin and I went to do what girls do best...shopping!<br />On Sunday we went to church and then enjoyed a yummy roast made by Erin.

I can't believe it has already been 2 years! Britton is the best! I am so blessed to have such a wonderful man in my life. I can't imagine my life without him. I would have never guessed back in 9th grade when we meet that I would be marrying him 7 years later. I am the luckiest wife ever! I can honestly say that I love Britton more today than I ever have before. I love you so much Britton! Here are some pictures of our beautiful wedding day...<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWEFF9-Kl8N_6LZcoU9YT_vNrzL9kl26bZuovobYlyZ2MvmdM0ieEaJvk6lVKl1sdZFd4okZ1qiHRJviGnH18SWaJEct-rSR2T_Fw9A0E83D_8DR2w2upB8zaidb7kSremucbBZjNZer44/s1600-h/n17812925_32647013_3265.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWEFF9-Kl8N_6LZcoU9YT_vNrzL9kl26bZuovobYlyZ2MvmdM0ieEaJvk6lVKl1sdZFd4okZ1qiHRJviGnH18SWaJEct-rSR2T_Fw9A0E83D_8DR2w2upB8zaidb7kSremucbBZjNZer44/s320/n17812925_32647013_3265.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329745525794416466" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRro_feYrEGQialikSyf1RAffO5hHkDE3vzH2M66WgcjdFdCZ-dNMVJ8ecOpPYO8sRIZDrJW5EhElkW2SdE9mHcj_VuAckTi9hoMUkJwFmDCRLGO_SKi-PvL56u-NFhvO5TBnCVp3CJySl/s1600-h/n17812925_32647009_2235.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRro_feYrEGQialikSyf1RAffO5hHkDE3vzH2M66WgcjdFdCZ-dNMVJ8ecOpPYO8sRIZDrJW5EhElkW2SdE9mHcj_VuAckTi9hoMUkJwFmDCRLGO_SKi-PvL56u-NFhvO5TBnCVp3CJySl/s320/n17812925_32647009_2235.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329745526908957762" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxbX-YhaOYYlZQVTHF8hNrkw2_inqJuKyJXvg-dCC5kqAJe-MHC_5slCn5DizAHkDQH8AL0nKzfTD665q8NcLJKO1emDCjozb-Y4NTB6nbNNCJdtjetLulmFQQCX4Su0kMImyPVf-yHOwo/s1600-h/n17812925_32647002_540.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxbX-YhaOYYlZQVTHF8hNrkw2_inqJuKyJXvg-dCC5kqAJe-MHC_5slCn5DizAHkDQH8AL0nKzfTD665q8NcLJKO1emDCjozb-Y4NTB6nbNNCJdtjetLulmFQQCX4Su0kMImyPVf-yHOwo/s320/n17812925_32647002_540.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329745523961750546" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjefF-Ob_HmtgTgkPBRiOH87_NKIC0hgnWHXmZUAcT3H5KF3JEyARU4dU_A1wywy28G82WQ_iwaQUbCOf5-dr2iOlw7J56gug9pyfMOPoH9X9nMuZzLzxQO3csMN_iLrrS5SjGTj4o3YcQ3/s1600-h/n17812925_32646997_9138.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjefF-Ob_HmtgTgkPBRiOH87_NKIC0hgnWHXmZUAcT3H5KF3JEyARU4dU_A1wywy28G82WQ_iwaQUbCOf5-dr2iOlw7J56gug9pyfMOPoH9X9nMuZzLzxQO3csMN_iLrrS5SjGTj4o3YcQ3/s320/n17812925_32646997_9138.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329745521386031250" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb07XiaA6VuNKHpD817omrhp2LKR5orUhCFwU8wjlAozf4dk6qmzEPBHT57qpXXuFPaJR-qq_pPvj9hJEm45o0U4rlqJxiGyRYIzPe8ysBikfzRQpRKgkL1ZO2GCFTy-GX3Cs12QQSyriv/s1600-h/n17812925_32646990_7245.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb07XiaA6VuNKHpD817omrhp2LKR5orUhCFwU8wjlAozf4dk6qmzEPBHT57qpXXuFPaJR-qq_pPvj9hJEm45o0U4rlqJxiGyRYIzPe8ysBikfzRQpRKgkL1ZO2GCFTy-GX3Cs12QQSyriv/s320/n17812925_32646990_7245.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329745516697382626" /></a><br />To celebrate our Anniversary, Britton and I went to Thanksgiving Point to the Tulip Festival. We went with my sister Linsey, her husband Derek, and her two kids Braedon and Daxton. They bought a membership to Thanksgiving Point and their "guests" get in half price. So when we told them we wanted to go to the Tulip Festival they told us about the discount. Of course we couldn't pass that up. So they came with us on our Anniversary date! We loved it. We love spending time with them. Don't worry...Britton and I went out to dinner afterwards just the two of us. We went to Goodwood BBQ. Yummm! Here are some fun pictures from the day! <br /><br />*All of the pictures of the flowers were taken by Britton. Once I showed him how to use the close-up button on our camera, he couldn't stop. It was funny. We would be walking along and then all of a sudden we didn't know where Britton was. He was way behind us on the ground or kneeling next to flowers trying to get good shots of them. Oh, he is so funny! I love him!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEFPr1cj9K7Iwt8t-h5CFvDGYychMV_MsXcfVq38wXgvNPz0VMooqNCAH4ibYo36ey14oEp5R2QIVdkaFtKFyXLZZkqWz6BdFUKLHxbPl7P5yNwzkzP10zt8927ozFxGFbzveuxJUauxRg/s1600-h/003.JPG"><img style="display:block;
