Always a party!

On Monday, Dustyn and I took CamRee to Manti so we could take some photos of her at the Temple. She is getting baptized at the end of the month and we wanted to do a little photo shoot just for her (some of those coming soon). Her birthday is next Friday! She will be eight years old.

We took a few photos on the way.

We were practicing her serious face.

There were a lot of these faces

and a few of these.

We of course had to stop at Fat Jacks (Roy's Pizza) and get some dinner.

At this point we had scarfed down the cheese stix.

After we went to the Malt Shop and got shakes.

I was trying to take a cute picture of us together, but CamRee kept playing with me and doing her serious face. Silly girl.

Such a fun afternoon! We always have so much fun together. I am glad she likes to spend time with me.

You still aren't sure what fat sticks are?

Let me introduce you to the awesomeness that is Fat Sticks.

(i could easily eat them all myself... it's hard to share)

And some pizza with fresh tomatoes and green olives. Yep, that's right... Green Olives. Yum!

Dustyn took me to Fat Jack's (Roy's Pizza) last night. It was so good. We can't go to Ephraim and not go to Fat Jack's. Where else would you eat? The Malt Shop? :P

Thank goodness for random meetings in Ephraim that Dustyn is required to go to.

Fat Jacks....er... I mean Roy's

Last Saturday, Dustyn and I went to Ephraim to visit Carrie and Rodney.  They were down for the 4th visiting.  Of course we went to Roy's.  (It will always be Fat Jack's to me!)  It was so good.  I think I could eat breadsticks with mozzarella (aka Fat Sticks) everyday and never get sick of them.  Mmm...  makes me hungry.  After we went and got a shake at Rodger's Dairy Freeze!  Of course I had Strawberry Oreo!  Yum!  My favorite!

After we went to her parents house and played games.  It was so good to see them and visit.  Of course I never actually pulled out the camera that was in my pocket, so no pictures.  Sad, huh?  

If you know of anyone considering adoption, please pass along their information (I will have a link for a website soon!).  They are an amazing couple!  Carrie has been on of my best friends for over ten years.  Crazy I tell you!  Time flies!  They are both teachers and love teaching.  They love to have fun and go camping and up on the mountain.  They are just a super fun couple to be around and would be awesome parents!  

Thanks Carrie and Rodney for letting us come visit and taking us to Fat Jacks!  Miss you guys!

Yay for Friends!

On Saturday we were able to meet up with Carrie and Rodney in Ephraim! Ten years ago when Carrie and I met, we lived in a basement apartment in Ephraim and were attending Snow College (With Heidi and Nicole). Her parents are currently living there while they serve their Mission at the Gunnison Prison. But it was so fun to go back after so many years and look around. I had forgotten how small it was. I was flooded with all sorts of memories from that little apartment. Oh, the good 'ole days!

It was so good to see Carrie and Rodney! We went to Roy's Pizza (formerly Fat Jack's Pizza) and had Fat Sticks with Cheese and Pizza! YUM! It was fun to visit and talk with them. They are currently trying to adopt as well, so we always have something to talk about! They are approved through LDSFS in Las Vegas, so if you know a birth mother that is considering adoption - I have some seriously wonderful friends! You can see some links to the right! Remember to check them out!! :) Anyways - back to Carrie and Rodney. After we ate we went to Sno Cap Lanes and went bowling. It was fun, but I really, really, really don't do well when it comes to bowling, but I sure have fun! At one point I threw the ball and it was MOVING. The kids next to us hit the reset button. So the bar came down and my bowling ball smacked it right in the middle (I totally would of had a spare - it was a PERFECT throw!!). It hit so hard that it bounced back and rolled all the way back to me (and not too slowly, which I was thankful for). I felt so dumb - even though I wasn't the one who pushed the button. I just knew that the managers where looking at me like I was trying to ruin their ally. Anyways, it was loads of fun. Afterwards we played Air Hockey. Oh yeah, I am not so good at that either and totally lost. Twice. Rodney got a brand new Chevrolet Silverado! Nice! Of course he drove. So we HAD to drag main once! ha ha! We went to Walmart, got some Ice Cream and went back to the house and talked for a few hours! It was so fun! THANKS CARRIE AND RODNEY!! Miss you guys already! Great times!

87˚(or hotter) and SUNBURNS!

It's been a pretty good weekend. Yesterday after I got of work, Dustyn and I went to Ephriam (about 60 minutes away) to get some FAT JACK'S PIZZA!! YUM YUM!! Really we just go to get the Cheesy Fat Sticks, but it's all good. Then we just drove around and toured through Mt. Pleasant. Then we went to Wheelers and got Fresh Strawberry Shakes. They weren't that great and I was pretty dissappointed. Then we drove home and went to bed! :)

Today we had to meet at the church at 6:45AM. From there we took the youth in our ward up to the Manti Temple to do Baptisms for the Dead. It was great experience and a fun time. Afterwords we took off to see Dustyn's brother and his family. They live out in a beautiful valley and have built a super nice home out there among their goat farm. It was fun to see them and talk. They were in the middle of planting their garden... so we watched. Dustyn and I both got burned pretty bad. it was a WARM day. Almost too warm. After we visited for a few hours and saw all the new happenings on the farm, we drove to Fairview and drove around. I wanted to go to this park that we use to go to when I was a kid, but I couldn't remember how to get there. So we drove back to Mt. Pleasant and stopped at Rodger's Daily Feeze and got a sandwich and a shake. It was SO good. I got a fresh strawberry and Oreo shake. My favorite. And Dustyn got a banana Boisenberry Shake. They were so good. Then we drove home and here we are.

Here is a picture of 2 of our nieces! They are so cute! Dustyn's brother has 8 children. These are the two youngest.
