4th Of July Derby

For the 4th of July we went the the ReAL game and fireworks on friday, the derby and fireworks on Saturday and then up to my parents house on Sunday for a BBQ. Chris' dad got us all VIP passes so we had great parking, great comfy seats, and even got some free dinner. Thanks Alan!

 

Maddi really enjoyed the derby ;)

Camping Lava Style

Chris had the last weekend in June off so we went camping at Lava Hot Springs. It was so nice to relax and spend time together. It made it even better that we were camping but there was a nice place to go swimming, yummy places to eat and some fun things to do.

In Loving Memory of Verl Wilson Godfrey

Born March 19, 1917 in Clarkston Utah

Died May31, 2010 in Clarkston Utah

My dear Grandpa passed away on the morning of Memorial day. We were so blessed to have him in our lives. I lived just a few blocks away from my Grandparents all growing up and was able to have a wonderful relationship with them. Grandpa and Grandma were married for 69 years! Grandpa Verl was a hard worker and a man of principals. He was such a great example to all of us and was fun to joke around with. He loved farming and worked on his land tell he was 90 years old. We love Grandpa so much and will miss him very much. We are so grateful the gospel in our lives and that we will be able to see him again one day. Here are a few pictures from the funeral.

 

Picture Overload

I'm in LOVE with my new niece. Madelyn Leann Bybee was born May 3, 2010 at 5:58 pm. She was 6 lbs 15 oz and 20 in long, has dark hair, big eyes and cute chubby little cheeks! She is so perfect! Maddi has totally stolen our hearts and we all have a million pictures of her, so enjoy!

What a cute little family!

Casey still has that perma grin!

It is so fun to see the brothers hold her

Maddi is a very cuddly baby and I love holding her!  Congrats Casey and Heidi we love you!

Update

I can't believe it's May! I thought I would post some pictures from our anniversary! It was so nice to have a break and spend time with each other. On our anniversary went breakfast, hung out at the pool for awhile, got aqua massages and walked around the strip for a bit. That night Chris took me to PF Changs, which I had never been to, and I loved it! The food was amazing! After dinner he surprised me with a helicopter ride over the strip. Here are a few pictures from the trip; I'll have to post videos of the helicopter ride later! It was so fun and I'm so happy I got to spend the weekend with my sweet husband! The sad thing is that the last day there Chris got a toothache and I had to drive home while he was in severe pain. Long story short his tooth he got a root canal on two years ago had been bothering him ever since, built up a major infection, and had to be redone by our new dentist.

Time Flies

I can't believe how fast the last month has gone! Not much has happened. I started my job on March 1st and I absolutely love it. In the past I have claimed to like my jobs, it was always just a job to me and making money is always a good thing. But, for once in my life I truly LOVE my job! I'm still learning and will be for awhile but it's great! Here is my official card.

At the end of March I went to my very first Jazz game to watch my niece perform for with her dance group. It sounds crazy, and I have attempted to go to a few games in the past but the weather and sold out games always got in the way. After the game we went to dinner and ate way too much. It was fun to be there with family, as my niece was exiting to their dressing she ran into President Monson and her group got their picture taken with him. Super jealous!

 

Me and Nicole

Chris and I have also been working on our house like crazy. The upstairs has a lot less work than the basement and is moving along so much faster. We are ready to paint, our hardwood flooring came last Thursday, and the rock for our fireplace will be here in two weeks. I think with a little help from our dad's we could have everything but the kitchen and bathroom finished by the start of the summer. Here is a sneak peak of our new floors. They are Hickory and it is called Gobi.

And here is a funny picture of Chris getting the entry ways ready to paint :)

We had a wonderful Easter. We spent it with both families this year. We had our traditional Easter breakfast at my parents, watched conference; had our traditional conference lunch and watched more conference. Then we headed down to the Bybee's to have dinner. We were fed in more ways than one! I love listening to the prophets and the spirit that is felt over general conference weekend.

Hopefully I won't wait so long to update again.  We are leaving a week from Wednesday for Las Vegas for our two year anniversary.  With the luck we have had the last two years on April 15 it could possibly snow is Vegas, ha ha that would not be funny!
