Lava Hot Springs

On Saturday my family and I went to Lava Hot Springs for the day. What a fun time. We started out with breakfast then hit the river! Last year when we went tubing down the river we had so much fun, and this year we did too, but we all got beat up this time around!! Every one of us came home with scratches and bruises to prove it, but don't think we won't be back there again next year!!
After the river, we went to the big swimming pool and played there for the rest of the afternoon. The sun was hot and we also got sunburns, but again, no complaints here!
I just love the good ol' family days in the summer! These are the memories that last, right?!

Jesus wants me for a Sunbeam!

Our branch was recently split into a ward, and Jared and I were called to be Sunbeam teachers in the Primary!! We are so excited to be teaching these little kids. What a fun age they are.
However, it was quite an eye opener for me on Sunday when we were sitting there with Zack in Primary, and how excited he was to be there! He actually was holding his hands/arms up watching the chorister lead the music (I don't know if he was trying to copy her, or if he was just really excited!). Either way, it made me realize that although he is not old enough to be a Sunbeam yet, he will sure make a cute one... and sooner than I think. I love that he is already so excited to be in Primary!

5 years later...

Happy 5 Year Anniversary to my sweet hubby! I married such an amazing, yet weird guy!! We have some great times together, and I know I am very lucky to have him. What an awesome husband and dad... I love you!!

4th of July

We started out our day by running the Kaysville 5K. What an achievement for me!!! I decided as we were training for the run, that I don't enjoy running like I want too, but I have always wanted to run a race. But I was so happy when I crossed that finish line.

After that we went with Jared's family to the Kaysville parade. That was a lot of fun for the kids because they threw out so many things... candy, beads, and even stuffed animals (Zack got a special one!)

Then we went with my family for a picnic and swimming. Perfect weather for that! Then we went to my grandma's house for a BBQ and fireworks. It was nice to get together with so much family on one of my favorite holidays.
