Oh!

Oh and my cool parents gave me this gigantic clock for my birthday! We love it :)

:(

These people are moving to Baltimore on monday :(

Justin, Erin and Bennett were so kind to have Riley and I over on Friday night for dinner (!) and games with the rest of the Wilson family. Then earlier today we cleaned all morning to help the move. We were glad we could help. But we are so sad they will be moving so far away. Thanks for having us over and good luck!!
(Oh and I stole this picture from your blog, Erin. Thanks!)

This is what I woke up to on my birthday!

Isn't that the best!? Riley woke up before me and made me breakfast in bed. Strangely enough I didn't hear a thing... and we sleep in the kitchen!  Needless to say, it was a great morning! Then, we went to lunch with Merrill and LouJean (thanks again!!). It was DELICIOUS! For my birthday Riley gave me a raft! So we went up to Silver Lake and rafted all around it! To end the day we had dinner at the Groesbecks and a pool party. It was a great day! 

Thanks family and Riley for a great day.


 Then on monday we went to the Bradshaw family reunion. We had such a great time, despite falling of the horse. Sadly, this is the only picture I took. I know my parents have more... I'll have to get them. There are some pretty awesome ones of me on one of Michael's horse after a nice long horse ride, which was aweeeesssooommmme! These are our happy camper faces.

Cabin and Lake

We've been married for over two months! Can you believe it? Neither can we.  We've been wanting to go up to the Wilson's cabin, which is up American Fork canyon, for a while now and we finally found some time to go. It is soooooooo pretty up there,  I just love it. We saw some deer, but unfortunately no moose... one of these times I'm going to see one up there, I just know it! We had lots of fun. Then the next day we went to Fish Lake for the Schramm/Eaves family. I was so glad all the Wilson's could come! We had such a great time. I don't have any pictures from it though... But we went on the lake for a while, got sunburned, ate good food and just enjoyed being together! 





Riley and Andrea's Graduation

It's been a while... but I have some pictures from their graduation. We are so proud of them and excited that they will both be moving down to Provo this fall.  Go BYU!











Graduation didn't seem nearly as long as my older siblings... thank heavens. Of course Argyle gave an inspiring speech... not!

The Manti Miracle Pageant!

Riley and I headed down to the Manti pageant about a week ago and we loved it! We drove through Spanish Fork canyon and saw the destroyed by mud slide town of 'Thistle', which was neat I guess. We saw more sheep than you could ever imagine and slept in a two person backpacking tent with a queen size air mattress. Needless to say, it was pretty awesome!! The campground we stayed at was packed full of youth conferences. But the pageant was awesome! Super cool. Did you guys know that Mormon said a prayer right where the Manti Temple is today? Pretty cool, huh? There is a painting of that in the temple, and they mention it in the pageant. For those of you who don't know, the pageant goes through The restoration, pioneers and parts of the Book of Mormon, what a neat production! The next day we were able to do a session in the temple and that was really cool. It was my first (and hopefully not last) live session.  It was a really fun trip. Here are some fun pictures!




 This temple is really unique, it's like a castle. Look at that cool wall!!
These are the windmills in Spanish fork. I don't think I'd ever seen them so close. They are huge!! The picture doesn't do them justice.

Project antique part two and three!!

Ok, so we suddenly have a lot to blog about. But first we'll start with our pride and joy. This is phase two of the project:

 We painted it blue, which was really pretty but it didn't match anything in our apartment. What a shame. But then we had fun rubbing a glaze all over it. It turned out pretty well we think!! I didn't think it looked great at first... it looks dirty and old, but I got over that pretty quick and now it is one of my favorite feature!
 I'm not sure how to decorate it... the lighting in this picture really isn't very good. So ignore that. But what should I do? I've got some cute stuff. I don't like the purple flowers on it, but I stole those from my mom... so they need replacing anyway. Help?? Mandy, my mom just got done telling me how adorable your new nursery is, maybe you have some ideas! Or Stacy, you're creative... I don't know what to do! Don't worry, I'll be putting a picture in that frame shortly.
