Life is wonderful!

Life has been so crazy busy lately. With work, life in general, buying our very first home, and planning to get sealed in the Logan temple all in the same time frame. It's a little hard to balance things out and sometimes gets overwhelming. But when I stop and take a breather...I realize how much I love life! I realize we are trully blesssed in every way and I am so very grateful!

Bountiful Temple

Our friends Scott and JoyAnne Briggs got sealed in the LDS temple on Saturday September 5th, 2009! We are so happy for them! Congrats you two!



Brian, Cha and I enoyed our drive down to Utah that day. We got to see how beautiful the temple is. Then afterwards we ate at Texas Roadhouse.

Camping at Twin Lakes.

We got to go camping with the Briggs at Twin Lakes down by Burley for a weekend at the end of August. We had a ton of fun playing games and four wheeling and sitting around the campfire sharing stories! I love spending time outdoors in the fresh air! Thanks you two, for such a wonderful time!

Summer time!

sunshine on your face...
ice cold lemonade...
bare feet in the cool grass
the sound of country music in the air...that's why I love summer time!

Brian and I went to a Jake Owen concert at the Caldwell fair back in July.


We also got to see Rodney Atkins in concert at the Boise fair in August. We went with a couple friends and had a blast!

Happy Birthday Emily!

My cousin's daughter Emily recently had a 3rd birthday party! Wow...what it would be like to be a youngster again...
We celebrated with some good food and cake. And afterwards we got to see her learn to ride a bike without training wheels...very cute!

Stoker family reunion!

August 14, 15 and 16th:

Friday we went to lake cleavland and gathered around the camp fire eating food and grandpa Stoker sang songs from the good ol' days.

Saturday we had a yummy breakfast at Jay and Susan's house. We sat around playing guitar hero for awhile then decided we would go swimming in the Stoker's indoor pool.
That night we went to the fair and Brian was brave enough to get hypnotized. It was sooo funny! Then we had dinner and went to the rodeo.

Sunday we went to church and grandma and grandpa Stoker's ward and afterwards had dinner at their house.

We had such a wonderful weekend spending time with family..it's always nice to have a place called home :)

Brian named her Tonks...

I had been wanting to get another kitten so Lilly could have a playmate. I saw this kitten at the humane society and thought she was absolutely adorable. She was underweight and had to be put in a foster home to gain strength before she was adopted. I was suprised when they called me about a week later and said I could adopt her. I just think she is so cute! I have never heard a kitten purr as much as she does. When we brought her home, all we heard that night was hissing. It took a day or two for them to get along. Now they like to play and we even catch the two of them cuddling once in awhile.
