Our awesome friends Ryan and Heather Jones invited us up to their cabin to go horseback riding! It has been so long since i've been on a horse, I was so nervous!! But we had so much fun and it was so pretty up there! I love the fall!! Thanks guys for such a wonderful time! We sure do love you and your friendship!!!!

Fernwood, Sunday 9-20-09

Mitch and I were having a very lazy Sunday so we decided to take the dogs up to Fernwood to go for a hike and roast some hot dogs!! It was a lot of fun! We had bought the dogs their own back packs last year and never had used them, so we decided to pull them out and load them up with EVERYTHING we needed! So we didn't have to carry a thing :)

Eating my yummy hotdog!

The dogs wearing their cute backpacks!! Lilly hates hers! HAHA I think she just doesn't like all the weight she has to carry!

Bobbi & Jamie's Special Day!

Jamie turned 8 on September 14th and decided to get baptized Saturday September19th! She asked Mitch if he would baptize her! He did such a wonderful job! It was a really nice baptism, a family friend, Lynn, gave a talk on baptism, another family friend, Becky Wright, sang "I like to look for Rainbows", and then Bobbi gave a talk on the Holy Ghost! It was beautiful and the spirit was so strong there! We love you Jamie!!

Before the baptism Bobbi took out her endowments! She leaves for her mission to Independence, Missouri on November 18th! We are so proud of her and very excited for her decision! Bobbi is such a great example to everyone around her and we love her dearly!!

Labor Day weekend in Marysvale, UT

For Labor Day weekend we went with my family down south to Marysvale UT! I absolutely love it down there! We went 4-wheeling the entire time! SO FUN! So many trails to go on!!

My wonderful family! Whit, Mitch, me, Joss, mom, and dad!

Ryan and Heather Jones also got to come with us! What great friends we have!

During our 6 hour ride, it decided to start raining on us! Luckily my uncle was smart enough to pack a tarp in his 4-wheeler "just in case"!

Me and my beautiful little sisters!! Don't know what I would do without them!!

This was taken right before we left our camp to go on our long ride! It was fun having so many of us!

This was the first sign you see when you get to our campsite! Ya I definitely didn't sleep!!

My cool dad and mom with little Emma!!

Toe update

Just thought I would let you all know that my toes are doing great! It's been 2 months sense I had my toenails removed! The yellow lookin' stuff on my toes is skin... He said eventually it'll fall off! I know it looks nasty but you have no idea how excited I am to never have to worry about my toenails again :)

Great News!!!

Okay, well I finally did it! After 10 years of always having a job (even when Brooke and I went to Hawaii we found a job), I finally gave my 2 weeks notice! My last day will be August 31st!! Mitch and I came to the conclusion that our Heavenly Father is not ready to send our kids down to us just yet, and that I need to just focus on my last few months of school, so I QUIT!!! (The only reason why I didn't quit sooner was because I carry the insurance, and if we got pregnant, and didn't miscarry, then I needed insurance!) UGH! It was a difficult decision but I finally, after a year, feel a huge weight lifted off my shoulders and my stress level is coming down a bit! I'll be glad to start taking care of myself again! It's been a long, hard, and kinda depressing year! Just trying to juggle being a wife, taking care of the chores at home, full time student, and work part time, was a little too much and it took a toll on me! SO YAY FOR ME!!! No more work!! Just school! Then within a few short more months I'll be an RN!!!!!!!!!! Love you all who have stuck with me and supported me through these tough times! Wendy will return shortly :) Give me till December/January!! Thanks everyone!!! Oh and Thanks so much for all the inspirational comments!! Everyone who shares our blog with us is truley wonderful and we're so happy to keep in touch with everyone!

1 year!

So it has been one year since we first got pregnant, and boy has it been a long year....... Since then i've had my fair share of miscarriages and disappiontments. . . . But we're staying positive and strong... I had a hysteroexam done today to make sure everygthing was okay up there, it's a procedure where they squirt fluid up in there and check your uterus! And believe me did it hurt! It was so uncomfortable and painful! But he says everything looks wonderful inside and out! So now we're just praying and hoping for the best! I was also wondering if you all wouldn't mind keeping us in your prayers! We are both ready and excited to start a family! Thanks for everyone's love and support you all have always shown us! KEEP THE FAITH!
Love, Mitch and Wendy
