I took the walk. Anaheim, CA

Huntington Beach, the girlies, Hanson, and Disneyland! We took a little weekend vacation and had way more fun than we should be allowed to have. The only thing missing was my favorite hubby.

YES! This is my favorite musician in the entire WORLD! I’ve been in love with Hanson since 4th grade, and on Wednesday I not only attended their concert, but I got to meet them.

Issac, Zac, and Taylor

Hanson loves helping the people without shoes in Africa, so they do this thing where a group of people walk a mile barefoot with no shoes on. This is Ash and I afterwards:)

Here’s a few pics of us having tons of fun in The Happiest Place On Earth! I love it there.

Erica’s 1st Baby Shower

My favorite cousin Erica is having a little baby boy so Heather and I decided to throw a family baby shower for her. Thanks to everyone who came…we had tons of fun!

The woman of the hour and the hostesses.

Cute book that Heather made for baby Sawyer. Everyone wrote a note to baby or mom and we put them in the book. (Heather is so creative!)

Soon-to-be new mommy and grandma!

All of the prettiest cousins:) (And baby Henry)

This is the cute diaper bag that Heather, Mindy and I gave to Cuzy.

Thanks Grandma for letting us invade your house for the shower! We love you!

This year for Halloween, we didn’t go to a party or state home for the Trick-or-Treaters, but we did get to carve pumpkins and go the Ute’s game. Jonny spent a long time carving these amazing pumpkins! Jonny loves to carve pumpkins and they all look pretty good.

Jonny doesn’t really carve traditional pumpkins. He always carves some of his favorite things. Naturally, there are two batman pumpkins and a Red Sox pumpkin. I carved the skeleton because it was the easiest one. We’re glad that when we came home from the Ute’s game nobody smashed them.

This is Jonny and me at Rice-Eccles stadium for the Blackout game, Don’t worry, Jonny brought a black coat so he didn’t stick out. It was just too hot at the first of the game. We love the Utes and they beat Wyoming 22-10.

Yes, I just couldn’t get enough Ute football for the night, so after we got home from the game, I put on Jonny’s comfy Utes P.J.s and sweatshirt. (p.s. Jonny posted this picture much to my protesting!)

Pumpkin Patch!!!

Jonny and I went to the pumpkin patch with our nieces Aryanna and Kita today. They had so much fun going through the maze and riding in the cart. We really love spending time with them.

Jonny trying not to send the girls over the edge.

Kita thinks that witch is “really creepy”.

The two girls. They are supposed to be showing us their teeth, but Aryanna must be to big for that. She doesn’t think its cute anymore. Oh well, they still both look really cute.

Kita was trying to act mad that we had to leave. Too bad she just made a cute face and we all had a good laugh.

4th of July

We went up to Idaho to have a barbeque and do fireworks on the 4th of July. It was so much fun because the boys did tons of bottle rockets and illegal fireworks that were huge...What a show! Jonny even had his first gambling experience in Fort Hall:

Uruguay

Over spring break we went to South America to visit Jonny's mission. We flew into Argentina, took a boat over to Uruguay for 10 days, and even went over the boarder into Brazil! It was more fun than I can even say. We stayed on the most famous beach in South America (Punta Del Este) and it was gorgeous. We spent a lot of time traveling around Uruguay meeting and visiting with families that Jonny taught. It was beautiful, exciting, romantic, adventurous, humbling, heart-wrenching, tear jerking, spiritual, adorable, yummy, yucky, wet, and altogether incredible! We even got offered by Delta to stay for an extra night and day in Argentina where we got to see a professional Tango show. I already want to go back and see my cute new friends (I may or may not have cried when we left them).
