LANDSCAPING UPDATES!

 With Emma getting married in our backyard this year, it was the perfect excuse to make it look more professional! Jared's berms for irrigations were slowly starting to erode away...he did a great job for making it up as he went, but it just wasn't going to last forever....so by having Matt come in and build little half walls it worked as an irrigation wall and it worked to make it prettier to the eye and much more professional looking! These walls are rock solid and won't be going anywhere any time soon! So much cement was poured on these bad boys...I think these walls go 3 feet underground! We couldn't be happier with how it turned out (I mean we could be if it was way cheaper - ha ha)!

REBELS COACHES!

 With high school baseball getting ready to start, these boys have to retire as Rebels Coaches! Eli enjoyed his time doing it and the boys loved him! It's nice getting paid to do what you love and be surrounded by people who love you! 

BLESSING THE SACRAMENT!

 It was a pretty special Sunday! All 4 of my boys got to bless the Sacrament together! It's hard to believe they are all old enough, but here we are! So grateful they are all worthy and willing to do so! Love them! 

TYSON'S WINFO!

 One night while the Priests were over at our house for mutual there was a knock at the door and this sign was left. Eli came out to see who it was for and saw the name and smiled that's for Tyson! I had to ask was Gyatt meant and he explained Big Booty! These guys didn't do a day activity, didn't go to dinner and barely took pictures because the girls were supposed to get done at a cheer competition at 4pm but by the time they came over to pick up Tyson and Nash it was 8:30pm. So the boys gave them their corsages, went to their house while they got ready, took some pics, went to the dance and then went to IHop for something to eat and he was home by 11:30pm. Sounds like he had fun! While he was out dancing the night away, Tyler was with all his friends hanging out and taking pictures! 

JARED TURNS 48!

 It was not a very exciting birthday....actually it was pretty lame. We got dinner for his birthday and got him a cake and sang happy birthday! The end. Welcome to 48! (Jared, you should tell your wife she needs to step up her game!)

UNCLE RICHARD'S FUNERAL!

 Uncle Richard was known as "Grumpaw" and he could yell with the best of them and he usually had a grumpy face on, in fact some of my cousins were scared of him. I never was. I knew inside he wasn't scary and he was just a big ol teddy bear. He loved the scouting program, he loved his Chevy trucks and when I was teenager he would let me drive it around Grandma's block for fun, He was a Bishop who cussed and I thought that was awesome when I was younger, he made cherry chip homemade ice cream, Grandpa's enchiladas, etc. I loved him! It is always sad to say goodbye, but again, I enjoy the fact that it brings my cousins together! That night after the funeral, everyone turned to me for the afterparty, but it wasn't on my side of town. Robyn stepped up and hosted at her house! She stopped and grabbed pizzas, snacks, drinks, etc and we hung out there all night playing games, laughing, etc! 

BRIDESMAIDS ASKS!

 Today we mailed out Emma's bridesmaids asks! She asked Anni Hall to be her Matron-of-Honor and then Abby Fa'anunu, Aubryanna, Paige and Cale to be her bridesmaids!
