Sleepy


We have church from 1 to 4. Naps are not in the routine on Sunday. Addie came home from church on Sunday and we couldn't find her. She was on the side of our bed asleep. Ha. Mike snapped a picture. We love that girl.

I want a library card and I want it now!





Hallee loves going to the Library. My mom was with her checking out books and she noticed that there were some little girls checking out books. She asked my mom if she could get a card. They went to get her one and they said no. The rule in SL is that you have to be five.
My dad heard the story when he got home and was not happy. He called to complain. Davis, and Utah County do not have rules on an age.
The board called my dad and asked if we would attend the hearing for a rule change. We all went. Hallee was so brave and spoke right up when they asked her questions. My dad got up to introduce her and she said "Papa, I am NOT shy."
Most of the board members agreed with us, but there was one that didn't. She still makes me so mad. The rest of the board past the change and Hal was able to go and get a library card that week. Congrats Hal. We are so glad that you Love the library.

Hallee started school!


Hallee started preschool in Aug. She loves it and looks forward to going. We have to get her out of bed almost everyday that she goes to school, but she always goes with a smile.

What timing.


Mike was very sick before he took his boards. I told him that he just had the man flu. I went to work and he called me from the ER to tell me he had to have an appendectomy. Sorry babe.
Mike had surgery and it pushed back his boards, but we are so glad he is okay.

The Huntingtons





We were able to spend time with the Huntingtons. We went to the zoo. It was great to see them and are glad they are back in UT. We just wished they lived a little closer.

Mikes graduation

We stopped in Vegas for one night on our way to AZ. We didn't stay long but had a good time.



We stayed with the Grays while we were in AZ. Hallee and Addie love Gracie and miss her so much. We had such a great time with them while we were there.



We had such a great graduation day. I am so proud of Mike. He has worked so hard to get to this point. We went to brunch and then to graduation. It was perfect. I cannot believe that he is done and now practicing. The ceremony was short, but sweet. We then headed home that night. It was a wonderful day and I would love to relive it. Go Mike!





We went out to celebrate Mikes graduation when we got home. Our parents made it, but we decided to go out for dinner with whoever could make it. We had a terrific time. Thanks for all your love and support.



Fun with family





We have gotten to have a lot of fun with Mikes family while being home. We spent a few weekends this summer at Jeff and Sharis house. Doesn't Mikes dad look great on his new 4-wheeler. Ha, ha, ha!

Days of 47 Rodeo






We went to the rodeo with Rob, Tracee and the girls. We had a great time. The girls really did enjoy watching all the events. This was the first time going to the rodeo and we really did have a great time.

Did we miss boating or what?




We didn't go to the lake as often as we would have liked to go, but we did enjoy the time we did have on the lake.
Hallee was starting to water skiing this year and so did Add. Add just didn't try it behind the boat. We cannot wait until next summer.

2 wheeler!



The first week we were here Hallee learned to ride a bike. Mike and I worked with H, but no luck. The next day she taught herself how to ride a bike by herself. I guess she just put her mind to it and decided to do it. Go Hal!

I did it!


I made the girls some dresses. I had help on my first few, but now I can do it by myself. I just had to show them off.

Memorial Day



We have a tradition of going to the graves in Peoa. We stopped at my parents good friends farm and were able to spend some time with them.
Hallee actually got her nickname from Shar and Big H. My dad loved how Shar calls her husband H and it stuck with our H.
We fed the chickens and rode horses. It was a great time. It's fun to be able to spend time with family this time of year.
