4th of July!

We spent the fourth of July in Kaysville with my family and it was very relaxing.  We started off by going to the water parade, which is always entertaining, followed by star trek, lounging and fireworks. It was a much needed break from the demon in my life called nursing school. 

We tried to do fireworks with Chloe but she kept trying to blow them out-kind of defeats the purpose of fireworks.

Dog lake

We went hiking up millcreek to dog lake last weekend.  The last time we tried to go up there, Andrew was on call and had to go into work.  So poor Henry got 3/4 of the way there and we had to turn around. This time we made it the whole way up and back with no major incidents.

These are my poor feet after the first 6 mile hike in my chacos.  5 blisters and counting.

My adorable niece

Here's Chloe! Isn't she so cute! I think so-she is quite the little ham to the camera. Cheese!

Pink is my favorite color...

These are my new pink water bottle holders that match my pink pedals! Its ok, you can be jealous. Andrew was so sweet and bought them for me when he went to get his bike fixed. I sure love him! Now, if I could just not suck at riding....

More Henry

Cutest dog ever. ever.

This is Henry. He had a very eventful day at the park playing in the water. Henry LOVES the water. I think we plumb tuckered him out, wouldn't you say.

Ode to the dishwasher

This is our new dishwasher given to us generously by our new upstairs neighbors. Thanks Alisha and Geoff- you da bomb! This is our first dishwasher. We have been married for 3 1/2 years and have never had one. How I have missed you dear dishwasher. I had tried to convince myself that washing dishes by hand and rinsing them for the dishwasher took about the same time. Not true. Not even a little. This dishwasher is neat, it rolls over to the sink, you hook it up to the faucet, and let it run. Then when its all finished you roll it back to the corner and your all done. How neat! Dishwasher-I have missed you so much. Welcome back to the family.
