8 Years of Marriage

Today is our 8 year anniversary! The picture on the bottom is our engagement picture and the picture on the top is of our family now. We were married in the St. George Temple on July 22, 2000. I remember it seemed like the hottest day of the year. Here are a few things we have done in the past 8 years.

-Went to SUU and graduated. Laura with her B.S. in Family and Consumer Science and Ben with his B.S. in Criminal Justice.

-Have 2 wonderful children, Kaelynn age 4 and Tyler age 2. (One baby boy on the way in Nov)

-Ben started a new job with UHP

-Laura started a new job as zoo keeper or as some may call it "homemaker"

-Moved to Eagle Mountain, UT. First time away from home.

-Bought a house

-Got a cat, mini van, dirt bike, and a Costco card

-Went to Disneyland

-Finished one basement!!!

I Love Ben so much. He is a great husband and Father. We have had such great times and I hope we have plenty more good time ahead.

Kaelynn makes her own bed

Kaelynn and Tyler make their own bed in the morning. This morning Kaelynn decided to put her ballet shoes on her pillow for some reason. I don't think science will ever know what goes through a 4 year old mind. I know that I never will.

Garden

This morning we went outside to check on the garden and we found green tomatoes, peppers, and a squash!!! Nothing is ready to pick, but it's a good feeling to know that something is working. We love our little garden. This year I have more pepper plants then tomato plants, so if anyone needs peppers let us know. Thanks dad for all your expert garden advice and the tomato cages.

Bike Parade

It was my week on Thursday for playgroup. We made star hats and decorated bikes. I had this great idea that we would all go on a bike parade when we were done decorating the bikes. I should have know better then to try to walk around the block with 6 kids age 4 and younger (we are missing two kids in the picture). We had only made it 3 houses away before I had 3 kids crying and the other 3 kids taking off at full speed! Thank goodness one of the moms was not too far off!

Summer Fun

The kids loves their pool and swimming. They go almost everyday. It's a special treat when Dad goes swimming with them!
