The Purple Turtle

I have passed this place so many times and Jacob took me there!  It was really good fast food! plus they have english chips that i couldn't pass up.  And in honor of the name I ordered a turtle shake :) I love my man who does anything he can to make me happy!




Abby and Scott's wedding

I love Abby so much and I am so excited for her and Scott on their wedding day!  I felt lucky to be a part of their day.  Abby was beautiful and the whole day turned out just perfect!







While the Boys were Away

Dad took all the boys backpacking  to the Wind Rivers so we had a girls weekend!  We missed our boys a lot a lot but we made due with what we could.

Grandma Kendall's 80th Birthday!

The whole family was there!  The first time in a very long time.  We had a photographer come for family pictures and had a great time posing for those with a crazy mass of people and children. The dinner at the Joseph Smith building was delicious as always and it was loud and fun with all the talking and catching up.  Michelle and Emma made a trivia game about grandma's life, I did pretty well but a lot of it was guess work.  I realized that I need to get to know my family members a little better.  I love my family!





I love these cute boys who have become such good friends!

Bridal Veil Falls

It was a beautiful, slightly rainy day which was perfect for a little hike up to the waterfall.  I love being outside and enjoying our Heavenly Father's creations, it is so peaceful and motivating to be in the mountains.  I am thankful for my husband Jacob who goes on adventures with me, encourages me to be the best that I can be, and loves me for who I am. I am very blessed.




President and Sister Gibbons

Our second mission president couple came home!  The Gibbons are incredible!  They were amazing mission leaders who valiantly served the Lord in Novosibirsk, Russia and are now returning to Utah to continue to serve Him.  I love them so much and am so grateful for all that they did on the mission for the Russian people as well as for the missionaries.  They were like our mission parents while we were so far away from our own parents.  Such great examples of faith, optimism, service, sacrifice, and love.

The Stewarts

I love being a part of the Stewart family.  They came to visit for a week and we had a great time.

Tennis Ball Golf
This is a game that Alex and his friends made up involving a club and a tennis ball in a park.  Lizzie is in the first picture demonstrating our stretch, reach, pull, and hit technique. 


Games
The Stewarts LOVE to play games, so a lot of our time is spent learning how to play new games and playing old favorites.  The most played games this time were, The Resistance, and Saboteur.


The Scottish Festival
We had a great time on Saturday at the Payson Scottish Festival.  There was food, kilts, bagpipes, and athletic events. My favorite parts were the athletic events and seeing my man in his kilt the whole day! But I also can't leave out the bagpipes, it was incredible to hear them all day long, it goes straight to the soul. 






Ginger beer and Haggis
