Park City

It has been a fun and busy week. We got home from California on Monday night. On Wednesday John's parents and brother's family came into town. We went to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple Open House, it was beautiful.

The girls went shopping while boys stayed at the house and watched the kids. It was nice for Tiffany & I to go shopping without the kids! We headed out to Park City that afternoon. We had alot of fun swimming, relaxing, fishing and hiking. On the 3rd we got to watch the fireworks from our balcony! On the 4th we went all went to see "Transformers 2" and went to the outlets in Park City... I had no idea there were so many stores! That night we went to Stephanie & Nathans house for a BBQ and we did some of our own fireworks. It was a fun time with family. Lizzy really enjoys her cousins, and it was fun watching her interact with them over the weekend.

The first catch of the day! (John caught 6 fish!)

Gondola ride

This week will be another busy one, as John & Eric work on the finishing touches to get the doors open for the business! The carpet was installed today, the x-ray machine is coming tomorrow, and the furniture is coming on Wednesday! We have been waiting a long time for this and it's exciting that they will be open next week!

Trip to California

John had a seminar in California, so Lizzy & I went along to visit my family. Lizzy loves spending time with family. We went to the Farmers Market/Swap Meet and found "The Lion King" and "Beauty and the Beast" on VHS for a $1 each. So I got them for Lizzy. She loves to watch "The Lion King." We had a fun trip.

Wheeler Farm

A few weeks ago we went to Wheeler Farm with Stephanie & her kids. It was a lot of fun. The kids really liked the tractors. Kylie

Memorial Day

On Memorial Day we went to American Fork Canyon, hiked a little and had a picnic lunch. The water was very high and running fast! I love being so close to the mountains. It's so beautiful up there. We went to Stephanie & Nathan's house after lunch and John helped them with their yard while Lizzy played with her cousins. Then we all went back to the Canyon. We walk around by the lake, went for a little drive, and then found a spot to cook hot dogs and smores! It was a fun day.

The rest of the week has been exciting as we get closer to both signing the lease agreement for John & Eric's office space and getting the money for the x-ray machine! Here is a picture of the building:

Tina's 30th Birthday!

The past few days have been so much fun! On Thursday John and I went dinner and a movie with his sister Stephanie and her husband Nathan. Lizzy stayed at their house with a babysitter (and she didn't cry once!) It was nice to get out. We went to the Thai Village and saw "Angels & Demons".

On Friday (my birthday) John made breakfast and then did some grocery shopping. When he came home he had a beautiful bouquet of a dozen red roses, a bag of gifts, and a wonderful card! I was so surprised! Late afternoon John got an email with the lease agreement for the office space! We were so excited... so we spent time going over the 16 pages! We went to dinner at Johny Carino's that night. My sister Becca and her family were coming in that night, so we cleaned up a little, and our friends Eric & Tagen stopped by for a surprise visit. They brought Lizzy & I birthday gifts! It was so thoughtful. Lizzy got some great books and I got a plaque that says "HOME" in big letters and smaller it says - 'Home Is Where Your Story Begins' I love it! Becca's family arrived about 12:45am and we stayed up for about two hours talking. Lizzy woke up when they came. She was up until 2:30am, because she was so excited to see them!
On Saturday we all slept in until 9:30 or so... We went to brunch at Mimi's Cafe.


Then we went to Old Navy & Wal-Mart. We went home to marinade the steak, and the girls played at the playground for a while.



There was a message saying I had flowers at the office! I was surprised - who would be sending me flowers... when I opened the card it was from my dentist. It was a beautiful bouquet of flowers. Later we drove by John's office space and the Draper Temple, and the kids all fell asleep! Eric called and told us Tagens mom was going to Africa, and they asked if we could get some flip flops and Old Navy for the kids in Africa... they came over for a while, gave us some money to get the flip flops. When the kids got up we headed to Old Navy and cleaned out the rest of the kids flip-flops, it was fun... 5 for each person... for a total of 35, love the $1 sale! For dinner we had New York Steaks, garlic roasted red potatoes and veggies! John made a Chocolate cake, and we had ice cream. Then we watched Mall Cop!

Colby really wanted some cake!

Today I got up early when Lizzy started crying, about 6:30 am. I finished going over our lesson for our Sunbeam Class, and decided this is a good time to write this all down... sorry there is so much more detail than usually, but it's my big b-day and it was AWESOME! John make blueberry pancakes for breakfast. Then we got ready for church and took some more pictures. Becca and her family left after after Sacrament meeting. Night Tagen & Eric are coming for dinner (pot roast)! It has been such an awesome weekend! Thank you to all who made it such a great 30th birthday!

My beautiful flowers!

Foot Injury

Lizzy hurt her foot last night. We don't think it's that bad, but she will not walk on it. I'm amazed at how happy she has been with a hurt foot. When she woke up from her nap she came out crawling. She started walk around on her knees, because she wants to get around. Tonight during American Idol she started jumping around on her knees, and during the commercials she would say “more”. She loves watching them sing. Here are some pictures and a video.





I love taking pictures of Lizzy sleeping, she looks so cute… so I had to include this picture:

Happy 2nd Birthday Elizabeth!

Elizabeth turned 2 on May 2nd. John's parents came up for that and for a surprise birthday party for Grandma (Steve's mom). It was nice to have them visit with them for a couple days. We went to Stephanie's and had Pizza for dinner, then opened presents and had an ice cream cake (raspberry cheesecake, it was delicious). Then we cleaned up and a bunch of people come over for Grandma's party. It was a lot of fun.



Lizzy got her first Cabbage Patch baby doll from Stephanie's family.


Grandma was so surprised, it was great to see her so happy and excited.
