More Wedding Pictures

I know I put a lot on here but our wedding was not photographed with a digital camera and I don't have a CD of all our pictures. So this helped me to get them all onto the computer so that I can do some of the things I have always wanted to with them.
This is just really fun for me to go through all of these again!

Surgery

Well as some of you know I had my tonsils out two weeks ago today. What an awful surgery that was! I guess I forget that I am old now and that I won't recover as quickly as the little kids who get their tonsils out. Not that it is a walk in the park for anybody but I didn't expect to be down in bed for a week and a half!! That is really hard to do when you have little kids. So a huge thank you to my mom and my husband for taking care of me and them! I don't know what I would do without you guys! I am grateful for normal food and for pain medication and for cough drops and cold drinks. I am still a little swollen but we are almost in the clear! I am so glad to be back in the land of the living!!

Memories!

Memory Lane...I got this from a friend's blog. I thought it would be fun! I hope you will play along. Here are the directions:

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses.

Riding Bikes!!!

Well Sophie got a new bike and helmet and pads for her birthday and she couldn't wait to try it out!! We took the girls out riding and it was hard to contain my laughter every time I looked at Sophie all dressed up in her gear! She is a crack up!! She did really well on her big girl bike and rode for quite a while before deciding that watching Elleigh was more fun!! Elleigh was such a great big sister and helped out our new little rider so much!! Much different than her 3-wheeler!!!

The Rodeo!!

Oh how I love a small town rodeo!! We live in Lehi so Lehi Round up was our rodeo of choice this year!! The Strawberry Days rodeo in Pleasant Grove is also a favorite!! These types of things bring back memories of my Grandpa who made summers great by teaching me to love these things and get involved!! I miss him on these days.
The girls had been so excited for the rodeo and to watch the cowboys and cowgirls! Elleigh had seen a pink cowgirl hat at Thanksgiving Point Farms and wanted it really bad. We buy her a lot of stuff...all the time....and so we decided that she could earn money if she wanted the hat. So she stepped up to the challenge and did tons of extra chores to buy the hat herself!! Well the rodeo was coming up and so we helped Sophie do some chores too so that she earned one too. We went to Ream's in Lehi to buy the tickets and they had the same hats for cheaper!! Elleigh was so excited and proud of herself that she had earned the money herself!! She was beaming when she bought it!!
So off to the Saturday night rodeo!! We got there a little early and the Rodeo Miss Utah was taking a few kids on rides around the arena!! The girls were dying to go for a ride so we handed them over the fence to her! Of course I forgot the camera.....but it was the cutest thing to see them riding this gorgeous blond horse with the queen all dressed up and them in their pink cowgirl hats!! They didn't even get scared with a stranger and big horse!! They just thought they were pretty cool!! The rest of the rodeo was a blast!! The girls loved the bulls the best. Me too! I love summer on days like this!!
