Family Reunion

Every year we have a day of family reunion fun, This year it lasted a whole week!!

It all started when my sister Vanna arrived from AZ with her kids, I spent several days in a row with her shopping and going to places like, the Bean Museum, The Candy Store, Clark Planetarium, Down east basics, and to my Moms work.

The reunions started on June 30th with the annual Watkins Family reunion (my dads mothers side). Every year this is held at the family cabin in Hobble creek canyon, ususally all the little kids play on the paddle boats in the pond or play tetherball, volley ball, etc. In the mean time the parents eat and chat. We also love to take photos!! We really enjoyed it this year especially cause everyone got family history books from my great uncle, (he gave us one for our wedding, it was the best gift ever!)

Monday July 1st. Mitch and I had a wedding to go to, and Mitchel's cousin was beautiful. Following that we went to my grandparents for FHE and listened to old stories.
Tuesday 2nd I went and saw Brave with my niece and nephews.

4TH OF JULY! It all started with the parade which was so much fun. Next stop Park City for food, swimming and games with ALL the cousins, aunts, and uncles. it was SO MUCH FUN.  To finish the day we went to the PHS softball field to watch the Stadium of Fire Fire Works.

Saturday we had lunch with the whole family in celebration of our grandparents 80th birthday and 60th anniversary.

Well it was a great week with family and I can't wait to see family again.

Sunny AZ

Ahhh Arizona. At the end of the month of May, Mitchel, our friend Ryan and I drove to St. George where we stayed the night at our friend Trevs Grandmas house. The following day we made it to Mesa!
Of course we stayed at my sisters place. I LOVE VISITING. and I love the swimming which we did every day. 


Lets get to the point, the whole reason we were there was for my cousins wedding. My cousin I Lean married my husbands Best Friend Trev McIntosh. Their wedding was beautiful and they both looked amazing and we really enjoyed the beautiful sealing. They had a luncheon with delicious wraps and sandwhiches, then later that evening they had a reception with light music and food. 
WE LOVE YOU MCINTOSH NEWLY WEDS!


On this trip I we met our nephew for the first time, and boy is he cute! we loved to play with him and my nieces who kept wanting to play board games and go swimming. I also have this amazing Brother in law Maeser, he is a great cook, we had very full filling meals. One of the evening after we went swimming They took us to the Mesa Grill. WOW talk about delicious. 


Our last day in AZ was a sunday, we ended it with a spectacular dinner which included a roast, a night walk and then a movie.
I LOVE ARIZONA.


On our trip home we pulled over just past lake powell and climbed  up some rocks and mountain stuff, Heck I dont know what you call it.
until next time AZ.
  

Rafting

Mitchel has this friend Dave, he just started a new job and needed some people to take rafting for practice. So we both went rafting down the Provo River with Dave, His brother, and brother in law. It takes 1hr 30 min from start (near the dam) to the finish(just after the turn off to vivian park.) It was so much fun!!

Time in Logan

Mitchels Brother bryson came down to visit and this past weekend we spent a night in Logan with his mother and father in law the Starns. I have decided that I love Logan. It is so beautiful there!!!! Well the day we left we stopped at the logan temple and got some pics. I love takign pics of all the templs I visit. it's part of a picture collection. speaking of pictures I finished a gift for Brysons kids, Sage and Raden. It is a photo Album of their mom. They seemed to like it very much.

 

 We also could see the soon to be finished Brigham City Temple..

 This is my gift...

Last of all we took a picture of the moon on the night it is the closest to the earth it was SO BEAUTIFUL and my camera does no justice.

A Place of Our Own

So Mitchel and I decided to move again. It was just getting too stressful with my two jobs plus taking care of Lola.  We moved a week ago, After looking at an basement apartment in North Orem. The next day we were informed we got the place. We pay $550 a month including utilities. We were lucky to get this place.


Here are some pics!!! I hope you like it as much as I do.

 At the Bottom of the stairs to the right is my laundry room/ kitchen.

 Down the hall is the bathroom and our bedroom.

 The waredrob came with the place and it's where i put all my clothes.

  To the Left of the bottom of the stairs is my living room/ dinning area.

 In this little door is......

 Mitchels closet.

 Through this door is...

 The furnace and...

 more storage.

This is Our living room.

We just bought the White Broyhill couch for $50 and the tv for $30.

We Moved

Mitchel and I have Moved to Orem by RC Willey!!!
Our boss is letting us stay in the basement apartment at his mothers house for free rent and fully furnished. We only pay utilities and I help her out in the morning and night to get dressed (baisicly only her shirt) because she can't raise her arms do to arthritis. We love it there!! Well here are a couple of photos of the place!!

 This is the spare bedroom and we were told to put anything not ours in there haha.

 I Love how big and open this is.

We own stuff

Mitchel and I just bought our first Couch, Dresser, and TV Armoir. All together it was about $240 dollars. We got them from a neighbor who is moving at a really good price.

 It's a small couch but I still love it.

 The dresser will need to be stripped and then repainted

Above all these things I LOVE THE ARMOIR!! it was a great deal!
