Blondies:)

I think sometimes we forget how much fun it is just doing something one on one with our kids. Or maybe that is just me:) Anyway, I was inspired by my cousin, James's, cooking blog. I saw that he had a recipe for Blondies. I have never made blondies and decided it might be fun to make them with Bailey. We had such a good time. Bailey is a great chef:) It made me realize how big she is getting and how smart she is. I totally miss having her be a baby, but i love this new curiosity for life and learning. It is so fun when you stop and take time to notice the great things that kids do. I love being a mom. It's so worth it:)

Rockies Game

Today was such a fun day. Matt took off work today, just to take Bailey and I to a Rockies day game. It is less crowded during a day game, so it is nicer for Bailey. We ended up going like 2 hours early so we could eat lunch there and get some autographs. We got Subway for lunch, yum:) It was probably the bet time I have ever had at a Rockies game, even though they lost. We got 6 autographs. Bailey got to see Dinger, the mascot, and Matt got a whole bunch of autographs he has been trying to get for a long time. We walked around a lot and took Bailey to the play ground there, and then we got ice cream sundaes. It was so nice to have a family day in the middle of the week:) I loved it:)

Curly Q Bows

I just wanted to write on here how excited i am. I made my first Curly Q Bow/ Hair Clip. It is so cute, and so easy. I went over my friend, Katie's house and she showed me how, and I am hooked. I love it so much. Bailey looks so cute with her hair fixed too. I Can't wait to get really creative and make holliday ones. Here are some pictures of the bow i made:)

Coors Field Tour

Saturday was so fun. Matt and I had been talking about how we wanted to do something different, so matt found out that Coors Field gives tours for like $7. We asked Matt's mom if she would babysit Bailey so we could go, and she said yes:):) We got to down town Denver at about 12:30 and decided to go out to lunch at the Cheesecake Factory, Yum! Matt's siter, Krista, works there so she was our server. The food was yummy, and we were stuffed. WE walked from the Cheesecake Factory to the stadium. The tour started at 2 pm. It rained on the way to down town but stopped before we started walking to the stadium. The tour was so much fun. We got to see every level. We got to go into the Suites and in the visitor's locker room. We saw where the press sits during the game and the dugouts. It was totally worth it. Afterward, we went to the Rockey Mountain Chocolate Factory and i got a reese pieces and carmel covered apple. It was so good! We got back to Matt's mom's at about 5:30pm. Then we all decided to go out to dinner at Red Lobster. They have the best Clam Chowder! It was pretty much an awesome day.

Utah Trip

Sorry i haven't written about our trip to Utah. We went on July 12-20. It was so fun. We drove to Logan to visit my parents since they just recently retired in Nibley. Their house is so nice. WE would love to move back there someday ourselves:) We had a fun B-day party for my dad. It was so cool because 6 out of 8 of the kids were there. The annoyig thing is that we didn't get pictures of us all together. Even more annoying is that we forgot our camera all together. It turned out ok, other people took some cute pictures. Anyway, we spent a good amount of time just visiting family, and friends. I had a lot of fun seeing my brothers and sisters and cousins. It was good to see some of my Aunts and Uncles too. I forget how much i love my family until i see them and realize how cool they are:) Matt got to see his buddies form college and their cute kids. Fortunately, I get along with all the wives, so that is a bonus:) But the trip was a blast, and I can't wait to see everyone again. I tried to get some pictures to upload but, the computer is being wierd so i will post some later.

House of the Lord

Last night Matt and I had the opportunity to go to the temple. We haven't been in a while actually. After what happened with losing our son, Bradley, I have been prompted over and over again to attend the temple. Well, our temple had been closed, but i couldn't escape the nagging feeling that we needed to go. So we made the arrangements. When we got there, it was so beautiful. All the Flowers were blooming and the fountain out front was running. It was so peaceful. I knew immediately that this is where we needed to be. We went inside and saw that they needed couples to do Sealings. Matt and i haven't done a sealing since our own, so we decided it would be neat to try something new. I can't go into detail but we had such an amazing experience. I had the opportunity to be a proxy for some children. The Spirit hit me so strongly when the sealer was sealing these little girls to their parents. It is such an important ordinance. I could just picture these families in heaven rejoicing because they were finally together forever. I know the Lord's time table is different then ours, but i still wonder how long these people have to wait to have their work done. It blows my mind how much more there is still to do. Matt and I have made a goal to go to the Temple once a month so that one day we will meet all those that we have done work for. I love the temple, and i am so grateful that i can go. The Gospel is true, I know it. I know my sweet little angel is mine forever. I am thankful that i was able to feel the spirits of those little girls who are with their parents now. I am especially grateful that i could share this experience with Matt, he is such a good man. I love him so much. Thank you for reading, I hope this inspires everyone, who can, to go to the temple because it will bless your life.
