Josh's Surgery!

Our long Thanksgiving weekend! It all started Monday night November 24th when Josh started getting pain in his abdomen. He suffered through until his day off on Wednesday. He did blood tests that were inconclusive. We went to LDS hospital and they sent us away, we went to the new hospital in Murray and they wouldn't tell us if they took our insurance, so we finally landed at the University Hopsital. They did a CAT scan and it was also inconclusive. They sent us home at 2 AM. Thursday morining the hospital called and told us to come back because they found something on his scan. So we ate dinner with the fam, and he didn't eat for 6 hours and we went back in for surgery...he had appendicitis! We were there all day Friday. Than Saturday we had a funeral all day, and Sunday we had church and a baptism. Talk about no rest in the slightest. But we are recovered and Josh is doing well! That was a Thanksgiving to remember!

Fourth of July

All the kids on the 4th of July getting ready for the firework show!
All of our loot....the show lasted like an hour thanks to Justin and his family.

Oh my gosh...this is one of many precious moments with Mandalyn. She just finished eating a brownie and she just looks adorable still.

Josh and I enjoying the fireworks in the Nielsen's backyard.

Cute Mandalyn climbing across the table to get to her birthday cake!
Kylee and Morgan came to visit and it was so fun to spend time with them. For those of you who don't know who they are...they are Daves children. They mostly loved playing the wii but we made them do other things in order to play it. We went to the farm and this is one of the little calves they got to pet.
Mandalyn is our new little cowgirl. She is starting to love the horses.

Our Anniversary!

June 26th.....the happiest day of my life and hopefully Josh's too! We had a wonderful anniversary. It started with a nice couple's massage and then continued into Park City. The restraunt was amazing....and then the hotel gave us chocolate covered strawberries. Josh planned everything on his own with the help of some great friends and I loved it! Josh is the best person I have ever met. Beneath his rough and tough exterior there is someone that is sensitive, family oriented, caring, and so hard working. He is always willing to help anyone despite how busy he may be, their welfare always comes first. I am very lucky to have such a wonderful giving husband. I look forward to many many more years with him!

My dad trying to catch as many cheetos on his whip cream face in order to win the family fear factor for his team. Its a good look for him and for anyone I think. Nothing like a facial.
Cute Kendall finally got the guts to do the ropes coarse. She is so cute, I hope my girls are like her.
My cousin Peter and his cute son. They are like twins they look so much alike.
