Tired Aaron?!?!

We have had a lot happening to us. The biggest thing being the car dying! Aaron was in Rock Springs, Wyoming last week for work. 10 minutes from Rock Springs the engine blew out. So, he had to spend the night in the Frito Lay bin in Rock Springs. My dad picked him up on Saturday and they went fishing at Flaming Gorge all day and didn't get home until 11:00 pm on Saturday. But Aaron had to work Sunday really early! When he got home from work this is what he showed me! He was so tired and out of it he didn't even realize he had 2 different shoes on!

I am so grateful for Aaron! He works so hard for our little family.

Sperry Time

I don't seem to talk about the Sperry's very often...sadly, we end up doing more with my family. But, Aaron does have a great family and we do love them!

On Sunday, August 22, our nephew Jereme was ordained an Elder. He is now headed to Utah State for school. Congratulations Jereme! He was also awarded his Eagle on Sunday!

Getting everything ready for a yummy lunch! :) Aaron helped with the BBQ!

And some pictures of the some of the nephews. I could have sworn that I took more pictures of all the kids, but I guess not.

We had a great time! And we just want to congratulate Jereme again!

Family Campout 2010

This year out camp out was August 12-15. We went to Current Creek and had a much more enjoyable time! :) It was such a relaxing trip and I think it was much needed by all! :)

There was lots of building, relaxing and playing with the fire!

There was lots of time to enjoy our favorite activities! (My craft will be posted on my craft blog soon and I forgot to take pictures of all the games we played!)

Of course, what camping trip would be complete with out lots and lots of yummy food! :)

All the boys in the family have a machete, but it was Mom and I who enjoyed them the most! We loved going and getting branches for the fire. Also, Mom tipped her first tree this year and liked LOVED it!

And like every year, the little pups come with us! This year, Aaron and I bought a small gate/kennel for them to stay in so we weren't tripping over their leashes. (And I don't like them being tied up) It was a great purchase!

We had a great camp-out and can't wait for next years! I am planning some surprises for the family already! ;)

The 24th of July

We had such a fun 24th of July! But it really started on the 23rd. I invited all the cousins to sleep over. We set up a tent outside and played all sorts of games! Apples to Apples, Capture the Flag, Uno Attack, Mafia, and more! Everyone brought their favorite sweet to share, so we were all pretty wired! Then on the 24th, we played more games waiting for everyone else to come for a BBQ. We played Nertz, and Mow. (Two family favorites!) There was a lot of yummy food and great memories! I honestly have the best family!

Time to eat! :)

And of course my hunny!!!! :)

In other news, we are doing well. We have finished moving into Grandma's, but still have a lot to unpack and such. Grandpa is doing really well being home. He loves having us around and is loving the dogs. They keep me really busy, but it feels good to serve.

Aaron and I started the HCG diet on Monday (the 26th). So far so good. We are starving, but it will only be for 3 weeks. I have lost 4lbs. and Aaron has lost over 10lbs!

I hope to start blogging again more often, and start crafting soon!
