Families Are Forever

July 25th, 2008 we were sealed in the Salt Lake Temple. This was a great way for Joey and I to celebrate our 8th wedding Anniversary. What a hot July day!. Everyone waited so patiently in the heat for about 2 hours. To make the wait worth while we were all able to enjoy dinner at the Spagetti Factory. Thanks so much to all of you who were able to join us for this special day. Also an extra special thanks to Joey's cousin Dina who flew all the way out here from California it means so much to us. We love you all so much!!

1st Day of School

Little Joe was so excited to go running with mom while the girls were at school.

"I love my sister"....

Almost as much as I love my new back pack!

I'm so ready for 1st grade. Mom are you?

I even get my very own big kid desk!
Yesterday was the first day of school. Madi and Aliya were so excited to start school this year. They have been counting down the days for the past two weeks. Aliya was up bright and early at 7am waking everyone up to get ready for her new school. The girls were very excited to be going to the same school. Both Madi and Ali loved their first day of school. Aliya made a new friend (Alexis) and they both were able to hang out with some old friends. Madi's favorite part of the day was "morning meeting." Her class did a prize drawing and she won a coloring book. Aliya's is in 1st grade this year and her teacher is Mrs. Fox. Madison is already in 3rd grade with Mrs. Swenson, I cant believe how the time flies.

Our family LOVES Lake Powell. We had an awesome trip this July 9th -12th. Our good friends Alaina, Aaron and Koya came along. Also my brother Kyler and his wife Courtney. We had many fun adventures. We got to hike to the Petroglyphs, hike the arch in Davis Gulch, and the brave ones hiked to the top of Hole in the Rock a 2 hour adventure. It was very hot and we got lots of sun, too much sun some us. I can't wait to go back!
