April And The Kids...

A few weeks ago Nicks sister April and her 3 kids came down to visit. It was a lot of fun. 

One day we just hung out had dinner and did fireworks. Rylee and Ridge loved them. Easten was a little unsure at first. But overall they had a blast. Another day me, Nick and Shellie took Easten and Ridge to the Zoo. They loved it. The zoo has a dinosaur exhibit right now. Ridge loved the dinosaurs... Easten on the other hand was terrified of them. It was so hot and so fun. After the zoo we went to Liberty Park the boys played in the water for a bit then we headed home. We were all exhausted. 

Random June Fun

June is always a busy month for us. This June was no different.

For Fathers day Nick and I woke up and went to my grandpas. It was also my parents 36th wedding anniversary. Most of my family was there. We had breakfast, relaxed, and talked. I was very blessed in the dad department.... and Grandpa department. I love my dad and grandpas so much!! They are wonderful examples to me in every aspect possible. They have taught me hard work, dedication, compassion, charity, love, and how to live a Christ centered life. I also have been blessed with wonderful parents. That are great examples of a happy successful marriage.

Nick and I had the opportunity to go to my friend Emilys wedding. It was beautiful. She got married up  in a Cabin in Springville. It was a fun wedding. I loved being able to see so many of my friends and catch up with them. And spend time with Nick.

In June we were also able to go to the Ogden Temple to do a session with my parents, and Levi. The Ogden temple is where not only I received my endowment but its also where my parents got married. It was so cool going there for the first time. We walked in the doors and there was one of my Grandpa Craguns good friends checking people in. This is silly but is made me feel like my Grandpa was there with me on my big day. None of us have been back to the Ogden temple sense. The physical appearance is totally different now. But inside you still feel that same spirit and the gospel principles remain the same. Thats one reason why I love the gospel. It doesn't change. I am so glad I was able to go to the temple with my family.  After the session we went and picked up my Grandma Cragun and Grandpa Heslop and went to Maddox for dinner. We love that place. We enjoyed raspberry butter and homemade cream soda. My Grandma surprised me with a gift. Every time we would go to my grandparents house I would look in her china hutch and stare at all their figurines and want them all so badly. My Grandpa Cragun told me some day he would give me one. Then he passed away and secretly I hoped for one some day. And sure enough.... my grandma delivered. She gave me a little BBQ with a little chef. She told me she gave that one because we are moving to the south and those southerns love their BBQ. I love it!!

Birthday!

This year for my birthday Nick and I went up to Park City. We drove up the night before and had dinner at a Mexican place that we have been meaning to try for a while. It was pretty good.  It had yummy salsa. After dinner we just went back to the hotel and relaxed.

The next morning we slept in and had breakfast. Then we went to the driving range and putting green. It was so nice outside. We walked around historic main street. Then off we went to the outlets. We went into almost every store. I had such bad luck. Everything that I thought was cute didn't fit. It was either too big or too short. Finally we gave up.

We headed to Tepanyaki for dinner. We lucked out and almost had a table to ourselves. It was so good. After dinner we went home opened presents and got shaved ice. Than later we had cheesecake. It was such a fun day with Nick. I'm one lucky girl.
