Pine Crest California

Well it has been awhile since I posted so there are a lot of pictures! We went to Pine Crest, California for a little over a week and had so much fun! Jeremy's aunt and uncle let us stay at their cabin with them and it was only five minutes from the lake! We swam, kayaked, hiked, biked, played a TON of horse shoes, went to the outdoor movie theater and just hung out! We definitely needed a break like this and are looking forward to when we can go back!

We stopped at the Salt Flats on the way to California

Jeremy always carts Alix around on his shoulders, it is her favorite place to be!

My first attempt at riding a bike in like a year, in the highest gear going up hill. I ended up on the porch!

Alix's first time in a kayak. She really did have fun

Jer and I hiked around the lake, it was so beautiful!

Kelson, Grandpa, Jer and Alix climbing the big rocks

This is Walt and Vickie's cabin we stayed at, Jeremy's uncle and aunt

Alix's favorite thing to do was play in the dirt and eat it. As long as she was on the ground she was pretty content!

She is a funny funny girl!

We rode bikes quite a bit. This is when we rode from the ski resort back down to Walt's cabin.

My niece Kenadee. She is so cute and such a happy smiley little baby!

Jeremy and Alix kayaking and on the boat dock is Tyler, Amoree, Mike and Drew

This is everybody who spent the week at the cabin, except for Stephen. He had to leave early. There is Jeremy, Bonnie, Larry, Kelson, Mike, Amoree, Kenadee, Tyler, Vickie, Walt, Alix and Drew!

This is Drew, Jeremy's cousin. He came up from Lodi, California to hang out with us for the week. We had a blast with him!

Alix loves to wear Jeremy's hat! She always steals it and puts it on

All three boys on the kayak. I was amazed it didn't sink!

Jeremy and Alix in the kayak. Alix had a great time paddling around the lake with Jer

We stopped for a family picture on our way home. We were so sad to go but it was nice to come home!

Mormon Messages

I saw on one of my friend's blogs a video link to Mormon Messages on youtube so I added a link on my blog just to the right of all my posts under the About Me section of all the Mormon Messages on youtube because I think they are so powerful. They are excerpts from talks given at General Conference by some of our General Authorities. They are made into little videos by the church and include pictures and music. They have some awesome advice and amazing testimonies so if you get a few minutes, check them out! I also have a link to their direct webpage on youtube where you can watch all of the Mormon Messages the church has put out. There is also a link for LDS radio, it's a station you can listen to online and they have Music and the Spoken Word, Church news, General Conference talks, BYU talks and a children's discussion as well. I think it is amazing and I love hearing the stories told and experiences and talks given. I like to listen to it while I am working at home and playing with Alix. It definitely brings a spirit of peace into our home and helps me be more patient with Alix!

Kellie and Andy's Wedding

We are finally done with the wedding, woohoo! Kellie and Andy were married in the Salt Lake Temple Saturday June 27, 2009. The weather was so beautiful! Everything turned out so great. We managed to finish the waterfall the night before and had everything set up and ready to go.

Alix was playing on the ground at the temple and managed to find some dirt and bark to eat. She is such a silly girl. No matter where we go, if there is bark to be found she will find it and eat it!

Our cute little family at the temple

This is after Andy and Kellie came out of the temple

Grandma with all seven granddaughters. Emalia was not happy sitting on Grandma's lap and Sydnie would not wake up!

This is the waterfall we built in my parents backyard. It looks so great!

The happy couple. Aren't they cute ;)

Kellie and her favorite niece....okay one of her favorite nieces

Alix and Jeremy at the reception. Alix loves sitting on his shoulders

A few more waterfall pictures. We had to take a few because we all worked so hard on this thing!

Alix and her six week old cousin. Aren't they adorable!

I am already posting more pictures and it hasn't been a month! Wow, I am good ;)

I just thought I'd put up a few pictures. We haven't really done anything super exciting lately, just been spending a lot of time at both of our parents house...mostly mine working on a waterfall!

This is my niece Kenadee. Here is proof that she actually does sleep once in a while!

Alix and Kelson playing with Grandpa. They love Grandpa!

Grandpa Larry built this horse for Kelson's 2nd birthday. It's so neat and the kids love it. Kelson is really good about giving Alix a turn on the horse.

This picture is for Grandpa Larry. You have officially made it on the blog! (Although I am pretty sure there are other pictures of you on here!) But this is definitely the best one!

Emalia and Alix playing in Grandma's flowers. Don't tell Grandma!

Emalia likes to play in the dirt.

Alix likes to eat the flowers

The wind was blowing pretty hard. If you look really close you can see Emalia's spit being blown by the wind. I think she's teething because she has a LOT of spit!

Alix and Dad hangin' out in the crib. Apparently the crib really can hold over 100 pounds! Aren't my babies so cute?

Alix crawling

Well Alix kind of started crawling last week. I wanted to show Jeremy so I took Alix in the kitchen to show him. Probably not the best idea I've ever had, but we got a good laugh out of this!

New House and other fun stuff

Okay I am finally adding new pictures and I have a million since I last posted but I just decided to put up a few of my favorites. We have been out and about doing tons of things! Here is a picture of our new house! We moved in about three weeks ago and so far we love it! We still don't have a yard...hopefully by the end of the summer we will! It is in Eagle Mountain and we have four bedrooms and three bathrooms. Hopefully we'll have a house warming party so everyone can come see our house but don't hold your breath!

We went to the Living Aquarium with my sisters and nieces and Levi

Emalia and Alix in a little rock cave. Alix is so white compared to Emalia!

Me, Alix and Analei at the Hogle Zoo. Don't go to the zoo when it is 90 degrees! Way too hot! But we still had a good time!

We took Alix on her first camping trip over Memorial weekend to the Green River in Wyoming. She loved it!

We ended up getting rained out Saturday night so Sunday morning we packed up and headed home. We did get to kayak the river on Saturday about seven miles. It was so much fun!

Jer and Alix on a bridge over the green river. There was a sign at the beginning of the bridge saying "Bridge Closed" so of course that meant we had to check it out

Alix is just so cute!

We took Alix swimming on Memorial Day with her cousin Kelson and her little friend Tate at the South Jordan Rec Center. Alix loves the water and her favorite thing was this jumper because she could stand up
