So funny story.. I have been wanting a rabbit for a real long time...And my mom called me last monday and told me they just got some bunnies in at the pound, so I rushed up there to meet Radar.. I saw him and knew that I needed to add him to our family (or zoo :) So I had to wait a whole week to get him and was so excited to pick him up yesterday.. But first thing I had to do was bathe him, poor guy was in the pound all week and was pretty dirty... He then today, after not even having him for 24hours, I lost him... I was so frantic, I didn't know where he went I tore my house apart looking for him ( good thing about it was I got under my stove and behind my fridge cleaned) but I had to go to the dentist so I had to leave him roaming my house for two hours I was so nervous... Then I got home and still couldn't find him!!! I couldn't believe I lost him, I felt so bad and had no idea where to look...Well the whole time I was frantic, Saydie kept going to the same spot and whining... I thought she was crazy.. Well she's not, Radar was stuck under my lower cupboards, no idea how he got there but so glad for Saydie and her whining and so glad I found him :)

This was our group for Twilight 2008!!! All the ladies :) Miss you Jodi, Stacy, and Elisa. Maybe for Eclipse we can all get together again...

Yea for Twilight!!! We all went on Saturday night at 1030pm, we kept grandma out all night, what a trooper. We had such a good time, we went to the Gateway in Salt Lake and walked and did some shopping, we had lots of time to kill we ALL were so excited to see it. It was such a good movie so excited for Eclipse to come out!!! Last year we all went to Twilight also but we lost some of our group this year and added two BOYS (only after hearing about it, but they loved the movie more then us girls, Go Bella, those were my dads words :) We missed you Jodi, wish you could have been here. We also missed Stacy Rae and Elisa, wish you guys could have made it...

Jodi, this one is for you... They turned out way cute, when mom reorganizes her wall and hangs the picture I'll take another picture... Mom loved them, even though she does have LOTS and LOTS of pictures of her grand kids, what is one more right :) (one more pic, not one more grand kid)

So I spent some of the day today with my parents, they had the day off because of Veterans day, must be nice working for the government :) Well they are working hard at tiling their kitchen floor... It looks so good.. My dad has been working day and night trying to get it done, well, if you would have done the math right dad, it would be done :) Love you and keep up the good work...

So Ry and I just spent the last five days in Lake Powell. What an amazing place... It was so fun and just breathtaking. The views all around us all day were beautiful. Ry had never been to Lake Powell so we took a trip down with his family. There was 17 of us and we all had such a wonderful time. Thanks Mary Kath for putting it all together. We have such a wonderful family it was just awesome to be there with everyone.

Also just a little side note... I got into the nursing program!!! Yeah!!! Ry and I couldn't be more excited.. I know most probably don't care, but its been something I've been working towards for a long time, I thought the day would never come :) I start in January and can't Wait!!!

And here's to the Birthday boy!!! Thanks for such a great relaxing time.  I love my parents they are such strong examples to me.  Also thanks to all the family and friends that prayed and fasted for Ry and I.  I truly do appreciate all the support we have behind us.. I couldn't make it through without all of our family and friends cheering us on! We love you and are so grateful for all your prayers...

So just in time to get back from West Yellowstone we were off again.. It was my dads birthday and he wanted to go to Big Springs,Idaho... Where we did some camping,hiking, atv-ing and relaxing... what a nice birthday..Ry even let me drive the atv.. for like a minute :) We had such a good fun time.. My mom, Jenni, Cailin and I took off for a little while on saturday to go swimming in Lava, it was way crowded but we had a good time.. we stopped to get ice cream and watched all the tubers go down the river... I Loved the mother sister time I got :) 

So here is my nice sun tan.. or sun burn.. I had to throw this in cause it was funny looking, I'm still peeling.. On our way out of Yellowstone we stopped and Cliff and Wade Lakes..They are spectacular.. if you've never been they are a sight to see.  The water is so clear and Saydie wouldn't get out, she had a blast... and so did we :)

So I got home from girls camp just in time to jump back into work for four days and then off to yellowstone with the Graham family... We stayed in West Yellowstone, and had such a good time.  Ry, Doug, Saydie and I just mostly fished the madison which was very relaxing.  Ry caught a lot and Doug fell in a lot :) Saydie and I has some good quality time together :D 

Ok so I know I am way behind on updating. We are already to the middle of August and I still can't find July... July was such a busy one it started out with Ry at Scout camp and me at Girls Camp...I was the camp director and I couldn't of asked for a better calling or a better bunch of girls. The experience was amazing.  I have a wonderful bunch of girls (31 to be exact) that made girls camp the most spiritual experience, it was exactly what I needed.  Here is a pic of Myken and I we just got done tubing the river, it was so cold but felt so good it the heat of the day.

So my sister Jodi had her little girl, Kara Jean, on May 20th, we were so excited for her that Jenni and I flew out to see them. They live in Crawfordsville, Indiana, where you can't get any cell phone reception... We were only there for 5 days but had such a good time and got to see all the sites. My brother and his family live in Iowa so they drove down for the weekend, it was so good to be with all my sisters and brother I miss them so much and love them tons... Thanks Jodi and Curt for being such good hostess's and for letting me hold Kara Jean the WHOLE time :)

Here we are in Indiana.. We went exploring and Jodi took us to a covered bridge, it was way cool and so pretty..It was so good to be there with all my sisters we had such a good time but time sure does fly back east.. the days flew by.. can't believe I'm already home :(
