Catching Up...

Wow, it seems like it is so hard to find time to blog anymore. I guess it's not on my list of priorities, but I like having it for my journal's sake, since I am not much of a journal writer anymore. It's been a fun August so far. My sister and her husband came from Arkansas to visit, and you know my mom, always planning fun things for everyone to do. One of the fun things we did was hike Timp. Cave (yes with my prego sister, she is a trooper!) and we also have gone to Seven Peaks, went to Salt Lake to see some of the Church History museums, and ate at the Lion House, seen some movies, and gone to the Zoo.


Of course, we have to go on the fun train ride. And if you notice in this picture, Addi is doing "her eye thing", which we all love! She thinks it's the funniest thing to roll her eyes to the side and then laugh hysterically after!



THis is the closest I've been to the Tigers. We're really lucky because we got there first thing in the morning and so we saw them "bathe" in the waterfall.

Matt and I were really bored one night. We wanted to do something as a family,but we were sick of the usual, eating out etc. It was kind of a cooler night and we wanted to do something active so we hiked Timp Cave, which Matt had never been to. It was so much fun taking Addi again, and it was perfect weather! We took turns carrying her on our backs. :)

This past weekend was really busy for us. Friday was Matt's really good friend, Joey's wedding, my brother's graduation from BYU, and my 18th birthday. :) Yes, I'm so young. lol I'm so proud of my brother for graduating and making it this far! He's done so much with his life. He'll be moving back to D.C. to look for a job in a few weeks. We went to the graduation program then went to the Sizzler for dinner then headed back to my parents for my b-day.
Cute Addi kept "helping" me unwrap the gifts and put the bows in my hair. Thanks wonderful family for the nice celebration!

My sis made this trendy apron for me for my birthday and gave me some yummy recipes so I can start cookin.

She made this "Happy Birthday" sign out of fabric! It is sooo cute. If you want one, she only charges $25 plus shipping. They are great for anyone and make wonderful gifts (can you tell I work in sales?)!

Since Friday was a crazy day, Matt took me out on Saturday for our date. We went to Chillis for dinner, and let me just say it was UH.MAY.ZING! I haven't been there for so long and so I got the works! We got guacamole and chips for an appetizer, my favorite baby back ribs, and then the Chocolate Molten Lava Cake that is to DIE for! WOw, I'm salavating just thinking about it. We had planned to go to see "Salt" afterwards, but when we went to the theatre, they told us it wasn't playing because their projector blew up. Seriously GHETTO! I was so bummed. But we had fun anyway. We went up to Alpine Days and watched the fireworks in the back of Matt's mom's little pink truck. It was awesome. I think my favorite gift this year was Addi saying "I lllluv you mommy". Precious :)
