Biggest News of the Summer!!!!


Brady is a college graduate!!!! He now has his Bachelors in Quantitative Economics with minors in math and accounting.
His last test was on August 5th!
Since there is not really a graduation ceremony for summer graduates I didnt want the day to be too anti climatic. I went and got Brady a book called Freakonomics that he has wanted for awhile and some balloons. Brady loves Ice cream cakes so my dad was so kind to pick one up for me so Brady could have it when he got home from work.
Once my dad got home with the cake I checked it out and realized it said "Happy Birthday Brady" Instead of Congratulations or Happy Graduation Brady. My mom then asked him if he knew that that's what it said and he replied with "Then whose Birthday is it?". Ha ha my cute dad, he was just doing what he was told. We laughed pretty hard. What's even better is that Brady didnt even notice what it said, he was so excited to eat it. He even sang Happy birthday to himself before he knew what it said. It was perfect, we couldnt stop laughing. The lucky guy got a second birthday party this year I guess.

I am so proud of Brady and I love him very much.
Happy Graduation/ Birthday to you:)


House in Henefer


The weekend right after Lava we went right out to Henefer with my family to stay at my Dad's friends home out there.Jamie and her four kids came out from New Mexico to play with us. which made it even more fun!
We did alot of four wheeling



Brady and I put together our own "Wipe Out" course for the kids. It turned out to be a big hit. Even the adults wanted to participate.

One night while we were there we went to a delicious restaurant called Taggarts for my brother Kade's Birthday. Happy birthday Kade!
We had a real good time with the fam, always do!

Lava Hot Springs

At the end of July we went to Lava Hot Springs with the Griffin Family. I am super sad and feel so bad that I dont have any pictures of this way fun trip with the fam.
It was fun to have Ben and Jenn there with us this year, we had everyone there except for Tanner:(.
We had a ton of fun. We did some swimming, a croquet tournament, some minute to win it challenges, some tubing down the river(Brady not me), lots of yummy food, and a lot of good bonding time with the family.
I just love being with the Griffins! Oh and did I mention that I was the speed scrabble tournament champ?... for a time anyway. I had the privilege of possessing the "Scrabble tie" for a night. Then Jenn somehow swiped the tie from me on our last night there. Way to go Jenn!

Summer updates...first:camping



over the weekend of the 24th of July we went camping at Bridger Lake with our friends Tiffany and Jace.

First things first...flowers on the table of course:)


Tiffany is Pregnant too! She is about nine to ten weeks behind me. We are both having boys and are super excited for them to be friends and to have two little boys running around.

Can I just say that this summer Brady has found his love for fishing. Here he is eating his first fish of the season...for breakfast! Yuck! But he thoroughly enjoyed it!
This camping trip was like Brady's dream, he went fishing three different times in the space of about 24 hours.


The four of us went on a beautiful four wheeling ride for a couple of hours.

Brady and Jace took Tiffany and I fishing with them. It was my first real fishing trip. I CAUGHT A FISH! I made Brady keep it even though it was a pretty small one, he was so nice that he even ate it.


Thanks Jace and Tiffany for taking us camping with you, we had a blast!

Big Surprise!

Yesterday for young womens, I had no idea what we were doing for our activity. It was supposed to be combined with all the yw and the young womens president was in charge of whatever we were doing. On Sunday we just told the girls to come to the church at seven, so I just figured the pres was still not sure of the activity. By yesterday afternoon I still hadn't heard but just figured she was going to wing it, as bad as that sounds. So I got to the church at 7 and they said we were going to one of the leaders houses for games so we all drove over there. Well... little did I know that I was the only one out of this loop.
They threw me a surprise Baby Shower!
I was completely surprised!
What a pleasant surprise at that too!

I feel so special, this was so nice of them! They spoiled me with lots of childrens books and some fun outfits. They also tied a cute fleece blanket for me! I just love all of them:)

Happy 2 years!!!



Brady and I celebrated our 2nd anniversary last Friday July 8th.
I can't believe we have been married for 2 whole years! Its crazy, and I love it!
Friday we went to the Bountiful temple and did sealings. Then we went and played in Downtown Salt Lake. We went to Z Tejas at the gateway and did some browsing there since Brady had only been there once in his life. We spent the night at the Peery Hotel, in the morning we went to the farmers market down the street and then went and played Frisbee golf in Murray. I won by the way. Oh and we went and had my wedding ring shined too:). It was such a fun weekend!

Somedays I still think to myself,"Holy cow!, I am married!" I love it !I just feel like we were just married yesterday. Brady has brought so much fun into my life. He makes me laugh and smile everyday. I have learned so much from him. He lives everyday to its fullest which I totally admire and love about him:) I cant think of a more fun person to be with than Brady. He is my Best Friend and I love him! Cant wait for him to be a dad cause I know he will have so much fun and be so good at it.
I am so blessed :)
