4th of July Fun!

So we haven't hooked up our internet yet ( I know, super lame) so I'm a little behind on posts!

We spent our 4th of July with the Rowe family! It was so much. We went to the block party/BBQ and then went to Stadium of Fire to see fireworks aaaand Carrie Underwood!! It was such an awesome show! Even Brandon enjoyed it haha. I'm pretty sure his favorite part of the show was when the fireworks misfired, hit a guy in the crowd and he caught on fire!
Sad news...I forgot my camera at home and my phone died on the way to show so I didn't get to take any pictures. BUT thanks to April Hamm, we have a few from the show!

Waiting for the show to start!

Tribute to the Boy Scouts of America

So this post is kind of boring BUT July has been a crazy month for us so I'll have more posts soon! Loooove you!

Welcome home Lilly!

Since we've moved, we have been talking about getting a puppy either the end of this year or the beginning of next year. About 2 weeks ago, Brandon was on KSL and someone caught his eye. It was love at first sight! He named her Lilly and was determined to get her. After some convincing, we headed over to the breeders house and picked up our little pup.



We seriously have had SO much fun with her. She is such a good puppy, super smart, and the cutest ever. When she's not sleeping, she's running around like a mad man and we love LoVe LOVE her!

She is two and a half months and just about 4 lbs. She's expected to get up to about 7 lbs and 12 inches long. YAY PUPPY!

Mexican Riviera Cruise

So I am finally posting pictures from our trip. The first week in May, Brandon and I went on a cruise to Mexico with our good friends Ryen and Alex Farnworth. This was a much needed vacation for all of us. We had such a blast! And all of it, thanks to our amazing brother, Cameron! Here are some of the pics from our trip (they are totally out of order but I'm too lazy to rearrange them) My favorite spot on the ship :)

April Conference 2010

So this is a little old but my mom just barley put up the pics!

The beginning of this month the YM and YW in the Newhall 1st ward came to Utah for April Conference and lucky for us our whole family came!

Amber got to stay over at our house since she was too young to go on the trip. We had such a blast! On Saturday we went shopping and had lunch. On Sunday we watched conference and went to Rick & Vicki Woods house for Easter dinner...so delicious! There were so many amazing talks this conference. I can't wait until the May Ensign comes out! Anyway, here are some pictures from the weekend.

My poor baby :(

So this past friday Brandon's work had a sales incentive, some kind of speed basketball game. Well Brandon made a shot and grabbed the ball for a second shot and missed. He said it was the weirdest thing because when he went for the second shot he didn't feel his pinky touch the ball. Well this is why...

So I guess when he went to palm the ball, it bounced back up and dislocated his finger...ick! Luckily we work across the street from each other so I just hopped in the car and we drove over to InstaCare, which was a total joke because all three of the girls in the office just looked at it and said "Oh that looks bad, that looks to bad for us to fix...you should go somewhere else..."Awesome!

Brandon tried his hardest to persuade me to let him pop it back in himself so we woudn't have to pay for the ER. HECK NO! I said we were going to the ER so we can make sure it was done right and nothing was broken and he wouldn't end up with a Quasi Moto finger. So we headed over to the ER and they took some X-rays...the word got out fast because just about every doctor that passed our room stopped to see the "creepy finger."

After about an hour of visiting with student doctors, the real doctor came and taught them how to "pop it back in." And in a matter of seconds his finger was back in place! Just a little puffy and bruised. Fun huh? Luckily, since it was a work sponsored activity all of the medical expenses will be covered. WAHOO!

Brandon's "Hang Loose." He only had to lower three fingers!

March Birthdays!
