Up, up and away...

Yesterday, Dan and I got to see a private showing of the new Disney/Pixar movie, "UP" and we both loved it!! Dan's brother Jim was given tickets through a mortgage company and had two extra, so we got to see it with him and his adorable son Devin. Its such a good family film, we were laughing the entire time. The Disney/Pixar movies are always so creative and clever. Everyone should go and see it, I promise you will love it! People of all ages will enjoy the movie. Can't wait to see it again! Thanks Jim!

This past month we have had so much fun with the Hirst family. We all got together and met at the Kangaroo Zoo in Bountiful. It's a fun house full of inflatable slides and obstacles courses for kids. Our nieces and nephews LOVED it! Dan and I definitely had a workout running around and climbing the slides with them. We were both completely exhausted afterwards, but it was a blast. It made me wish I was a kid again so I could have as much energy as our nieces and nephews did. On Mother's Day, Dan and I went up to Kamas to visit his parents. His Dad let us try out his new monster of a four wheeler. So we tested his sweet ride around their house and up the canyon. There was no windshield on the fourwheeler, so I got a good mouthful of bugs and flies in my hair, but it was worth it! We just love going up to Kamas, it's our little get-away! Thanks for having us come Paul and Bonnie!

It's finally here...SUMMER!!

Summer is finally here!!! Praise the day! Dan and I finished our finals this past week, and we are definitely looking forward to having more freetime without any homework to worry about. Only one more year to go and we will both graduate next spring! Dan has worked so hard this past year, I am so proud of him. Now we are both enjoying our summer break. Summer is my absolute favorite season!! Not only did we meet and get married in the summer, but our birthdays are during this wonderful time of year as well. Summer is the greatest because of all the fun things you can do like barbeques, fireworks, picnics, night games, boating, water-skiing, wakeboarding, fourwheeling, swimming, drive-in movies, vacationing, being with friends and family, and the warm summer nights. You can bet Dan and I will be doing all of these things! Summertime automatically reminds me of my all-time favorite movie, "Sandlot" because it's about a group of boys causing all kinds of trouble during their summer vacation. It brings back many good childhood memories. Those of you who have seen it can appreciate its great one-liners. Plus it was filmed in my parents' neighborhood, really, I can show you Scotty Smalls' pink house. This classic picture is of Squints from the movie, it makes me wish summer lasted "FOR-E-VERRR"!!
