GNO- Eclipse!

A bunch of lovely ladies from my ward (and that I met on the weekend scrap booking retreat) all went to Eclipse!  It was so much fun going to dinner, hangin' out and joking about how we were all WAY too old to be at a midnight showing!  The movie was FANTASTIC (I have loved all three so consider the source) I thought this was the best one yet!  With Jacob's shirt off most the movie it was "a total Eclipse of the heart!"  Here are some pictures of the fun!

All dressed up and ready to go out!

Dinner with the ladies!

Even little Ella got to come!

Kelly and I with our dates!

I brought little gift bags that were team Jacob and team Edward!

(thanks for the idea Heather!)

You know I am 100% team Jacob!

We played games waiting for 2 hrs to get into our theatre!

Waiting!

Finally the show!!!  These two were so good (no fighting!)  I on the other hand acted like the other 16 year-olds in the theatre!

They are totally going next time too!!!  James has taught Pressy-boy to call Jacob naked man and tease me endlessly!!

PS- Kelly we are ready for another Twilight party (hint, hint!)

Island Park!

Last weekend we headed up to Island Park to meet up with some of our friends from Dental school.  It was a wonderful weekend with lots of laughs, good friends and good food!!  We hit some of the local sites, here are pictures of our trip!

Driving around Yellowstone we saw so many animals!

At Old Faithful!

The kids playing in Yellowstone after lunch!

We went and saw "Beauty and the Beast" at the playmill.  It was wonderful and Kristy hooked us up with front row!!!  The girls were in heaven meeting Belle and the other cast members! 

On the boat, we even saw a bald eagle!

Playing around after boating!

We had so much fun!!!  Thank you Staker's and Goldthorpe's for the wonderful weekend and friendship!  Also, thank you for being such great friends and helping me though when I really needed it, I am blessed to have friends like you!

Lagoon fun!!!

Last week we went to Lagoon with the Thomas family.  We were brave and only the 'women' went (no husbands) it was such a wonderful time and my kids and I made so many memories!!!  We have decided to make it a family tradition and go EVERY year!  Here are some pictures of the fun...

Choo-Choo!

Happy Father's Day!!!

I want to tell my wonderful husband 'Happy Father's day!' he is such a wonderful man, I feel so blessed to have married him!!!  Here are the top three reason's why...
1.  The gospel is number one in his life, he quietly goes about doing good.  He reads his Scriptures everyday and goes to the temple twice a month.
2.  He is a wonderful husband to me!  He always is careful to make sure I get my much needed breaks from the kids whether it's a GNO, or he lets me go to bed and watch a show or movie while he puts the kids down.  He also does not yell and totally slightly accepts that I *need* all of the things I buy!
3.  He is the most wonderful father!!  He loves our children and they love him SO MUCH!!!  He always takes time to read them stories, push them on the swing, jump on the trampoline and always has so much patience for them!!! 

I am also grateful for the wonderful father I have he is the ultimate example of a humble follower of the Lord.  He has taught me what is most important in this life and I would not be the person I am today without him.  I also want to mention my father in law who is a wonderful man!  James is so much like him going about doing good and not wanting people to see.  He is a wonderful "Papa" and has helped our family so much this year from building James' office to helping me with my 'projects'!  I am a pretty lucky girl!  Here are a few pictures of these great men!

The kids were more excited about his iPad than he was I think!

Here is a picture of what James got for Father's day, the iPad!!!  He LOVES it!!  (Sorry it was not another Harley!  That's what he 'really' wanted ever since his was totaled last year (don't ask!)  Maybe in a few years when we can afford it!
