Day 210, 7/29/09-Day 212, 7/31/09

Day 210, 7/29/09
We went and spent the morning playing at Grandpa Fonnesbeck's home.

Then we all headed over to Red Robin for lunch. It was nice to get to spend some time with {R}'s Grandpa and we had a nice visit with him. I especially enjoyed listening to the stories {R} told on the car ride. Very interesting/entertaining. :)

Next we headed over to Grandpa/ma Moody's home. The kids had fun running around with their cute cousins.

Both boys got to go on Motorcycle rides and loved it!
Uncle Alex aparently bought a bike for Uncle Sean, he decided he didn't want it and Alex offered it to {R}. I'm not all that thrilled about it, but {R} sure was. It's a generous offer and I appreciate it, but it just makes me super nervous.
For dinner we went to Settebellos where Uncle Alex and Sean both work. It was sooo fun to watch Alex make the pizza's and boy were they yummy, he sure is good at what he does.
Day 211, 7/30/09
{R}'s family owns some land up at bear lake and they go there every summer. It was so great that we just happened to be in town during the reunion this year. We've missed going and I'm so glad the kids got to finally go see what we have been talking about all these years.
The cousins all had fun collecting little shells on the beach.

{B} and Bubba having fun playing together. They are both at such a fun age and I got a kick out of watching them up there.

We bought this little raft for the kids, they loved it.

It was sure nice to visit with all of {R}'s family and I even got to use my Mother in Laws cricut up there. She has a lot of fun cartridges and is just so fun to be with! Wish we could have "played" longer, but we just have sooo many family and friends we want to see that I always feel so stretched and worry about not spending enough time with everybody when we come. Hope we did better this time around, I really tried!
Day 212, 7/31/09
We spend the morning at Bear Lake then after lunch headed back to Provo so we could get all cleaned up, kids to the baby sitter and over to Magleby's Resturaunt for my brothers wedding dinner. The food was amazing and we had a blast visiting with all our family. I forgot my camera so I don't have pictures.
One of my very favorite things about getting together with my family is playing games together. It is always a BLAST! After dinner we headed back to my parents and played password. I have NEVER had so much fun playing that game before.
We laughed so hard my stomach seriously started to hurt. I will never forget this night, I giggle just thinking about it! BTW, I still think Dad and I won since SOMEONE was giving an awful lot of illegal clues. ha ha ha!!!

Day 208, 7/27/09-Day 209 7/28/09

Day 208, 7/27/09

We had a great time playing out at the "RES" (reservoir) I've heard Amy talk about this place a lot and was excited to finally get to go check it out for my self.
We were very excited that Tom took the day off and we were able to spend another day with him. We roasted Hotdogs and made smores. Mmm...Mmm...
Day 209, 7/28/09
The kids all had a blast at the park.
There were 5 slides at our playground so I got my cell phone out and timed each kid individually on how quickly they could go down each slide. The were adorable and I think they all did it 5 or 6 times, trying to beat their previous time.
It was so fun to get to spend some time with the Cowleys. We have really missed them since their move back to Utah, but glad they went somewhere we go often.
After the park we headed to South Jordan to see my good friend Carrie and her cute family. When enjoyed a yummy lunch at Cafe Rio. I'm so glad we were able to catch up and spend some time together.

My nephew got his mission call to Columbia and we were all able to see him go through the temple for the first time. It was awesome! He's not in this picture, we were still waiting for him and I never got one once he came out.

Each team got $5.00 the guys had to run to walmart to pick the ingredients they wanted to use to flavor their steaks. Each girl team was given three ingredients that they had to us to make a side dish. We also got $5.00 to go buy any other ingredients we needed to make our side dish. My teams ingrecients were strawberries, cottage cheese and a cucumber. We bought a pack of veggie dip mix and some jello and made two dips. Here are all the sides.

Day 201, 7/20/09

I know it’s kind of late in the month, but I thought I’d share what I took to my ladies for Visiting Teaching. They were super easy and loved by all. I loved the message and wanted to emphasize how refreshing it is to go to the temple, (hence the refreshing drink, ya can’t go wrong with lemonade). When we go to the temple we Revitalize, Refresh, Renew, Restore and Replenish.

Day 200, 7/19/09


One of {B}'s favorite things to do is have a nice big bubble bath on Sunday afternoons. She would bathe all day if I let her.

Day 199, 7/18/09

I am a huge Biggest Loser fan and I have heard lots of people go on and on about this video. So I went to target and bought it tonight. I LOVE to workout and I thought this would go great with my marathon training since it is just way too hot to run outside these days. So come Monday morning I'll be adding this new workout, wish me luck!

Day 198, 7/17/09


{B} is going through a really big dancing phase. She LOVES to dance all the time. She LOVEs to dance with daddy but when he's not around her brothers do a great job too! I get a kick out of watching them dance.
