A Beautiful Angel

On Saturday, August 8, 2009, My beautiful Grandma Rhea returned to our Heavenly Father.

I don't even have the words to explain how empty I feel inside. I have never lost anyone that has been so special to me and been such a big part of my life. She was truly the most giving and caring person that I have ever known. I want to thank her for all that she has taught me and for giving me a Mother that is truly remarkable. I hope that I can be as strong, compassionate and DIVINE as the two of them. She had this way of stealing a piece of your heart, with a smile that would make a bad day good. We loved her so much! I will miss her everyday, but I know that she is watching over us. She is our Angel!

I thought I saw her face today

In the sparkle of the morning sun.

And then I heard the angel say

“Her work on earth is done.”

I thought I heard her voice today

Then laugh her hearty laugh.

And then I heard the angel say

“There’s peace little one at last.”

I thought I felt her touch today

In the breeze that rustled by.

And then I heard the angel say

“The spirit never dies.”

I thought that she had left me

For the stars so far above.

And then I heard the angel say

“She left you with her love.”

I thought that I would miss her

And never find my way.

And then I heard the angel say

“She’s with you every day.”

BEAR LAKE!

Over the 24Th, we went with my sis and her family to Bear Lake. We had such a good time. I forgot how hard having 2 kids is!!!!! Remember the days when you could just lay out and relax......well those days are over for awhile. Even though it was tough, stressful, and not very relaxing, I wouldn't trade it for the world.

Laila and Brox had so much fun. Playing with cousins is the BEST! Thanks for such a FUN Weekend.

Our Little Family!

Carl manning the boat! One day we will have one of these!

Carl & Lou on the jet skis. She loves anything with a motor. So girly, but she can hang with the best of them!

The guys! Just hanging out on the dock!

How funny is this????? Brox, we love that lil' bummy!!!!!

A Day at the Zoo!

Last week, the kiddos and I went with my Mom and Dad to the Zoo. We had a great time. Laila loved it and Brox loved it too. He loves his stroller...nothing makes him happier. I think Laila's favorite part was the Choo Choo Train. We had such a good time. I love you Mom and Dad. I wish everyday could be as good as that one.

Laila Rockin' her shades!

Papa & Laila.

Grandma and the Babes!

Laila and Papa at the the Bird Show!

Laila and I looking at the Gorilla. That is my favorite animal. They are so cute!

Mani's & Pedi's!

Last Sunday, Laila & I went to my Mama's house for a much needed Mani & Pedi Session.Of Course, Laila thought this was the greatest thing in the world. This baby girl is a pro at this. It definitely isn't the her first rodeo. If you ever see me at a salon, my shadow will be right beside me.

We love our girly time!

Weekend Fun!

OK......we had a BUSY weekend. Full of lots of fun, friends & family time.

On Friday, I decided to go rescue Carl from work and attempt Phase II at the Lindon Pool. It was a success! It was a beautiful day and we had a blast, but unfortunately I don't have any cute pics to show for it. Oh well....... I am sure we will be swimming a time or two before the summer is over (HAHA).

On Saturday night we had UFC 100 at our house. We had such a good time! We got to see some friends that we haven't seen in awhile ( Tig & TK ) and it was so much fun. Again, stupid me, only took 2 pics and here they are....... OH....we love you GSP!!!! ( just a little shout out from Carl)

Kyle & Krissy! We love you guys. Aren't they so cute?

Carl and I. Finally, I picture of us!


On Sunday, we went up to the cabin in Park City. Anna & Scott were in town, so we had a little BBQ with the family. It was so nice to see them and meet Scott for the first time. He is great! We hope that we will be able to see them some time in the near future.


We went on a 4-wheeler ride and saw a huge moose. We got probably 20 feet away. Scary!

Daddy's Girl. She loves to ride with him.

Bruce and Jane set up the little pool for Laila on the back deck. She loved it. Thanks guys!

The "B". What more can I say? I had to unbutton his shorts. The poor baby was muffin toppin'! I guess those shorts don't fit anymore.

Anna & Scott. It was so nice to see them. We had a great time.Love you guys!

4th of July!

On the 4th, we had such a relaxing day. Carl worked on the deck all day and the kiddos and I just chilled around the house. That night, we went over to Erik & Miquel's for a BBQ and Fireworks. We had such a great time.

Thanks for having us over!

Carl and Laila watching the Fireworks Show. She loved it! She kept saying, " I can't even believe this!" It was so cute. Carl looks like he is having a good time too. Haha!

The Girls with their baby brothers. How cute is this?

All the Cousins!

The 2 Boys! You would never guess, but these babes are only 2 months apart. I think we might have a linebacker on our hands!

Our Princess. She was having a great time running all over the place. She never runs out of energy.

The Girlies. Who knows what they are doing!

Carl & Cole holding the babies. So Cute!
