A River Runs Through It

Today Tim and I took the girls fishing and they had an absolute blast. We first went and bought them their very own Barbie fishing pole (which Tim looked very cute fishing with) and hooks and worms. The girls do have a bit of their mother in them and would not touch the worms and left that job up to their Daddy. We sadly didn't catch anything but we did have fun running up and down the trails, fishing in the river, and just enjoying the beautiful outdoors. I do have to say we are very lucky to live in such a beautiful area- especially when it isn't snowing. :)

Ryan & Dallyn are Married!

This past Thursday we had a wonderful time attending my brother Ryan and his sweet new wife's reception. It was held in the backyard of the Cowley's home and it was absolutely beautiful. Dallyn looked so beautiful and it was so fun just to see my brother so in love. Kaylie and Jadyn's favorite parts were the candy bar (mine too!) and the dancing. They danced for two hours straight and Jadyn even started to fall asleep while she was dancing. Luckily we grabbed her before she collapsed on the concrete. They didn't move a single muscle all night long and the minute they woke up in the morning they said they wanted to go to Dallyn & Ry's party.

Then on Friday afternoon Tim and I were able to witness Dallyn and Ry be sealed for time and all eternity in the Mesa Arizona temple. It was just perfect in every way and we are just thrilled for them. They are an amazing couple. I think Kaylie said it best when I was buckling her in the car at the temple. She said, "Ry and Dallyn married? I'm so happy!" It was also really neat having the reception the night before so the temple was the main focus the day of the wedding. It was not so hectic and was just so much fun.

Ryan and Dallyn we love you guys and were so happy we could be there for your big day. We love you!

Congrats Brandon!

Tonight my cousin Brandon Mathews opened his mission call and the girls and I were lucky enough to be in Arizona to be there.  We are excited for him to be a missionary in the Norway Oslo Mission.  We know he'll be a great missionary in bringing the gospel to the people of Norway.  Congrats Elder Mathews!

Out for Pizza

Over the weekend Tim and I stayed overnight in Billings to celebrate our five years of marriage. Our plan was to get up Saturday and go do sealings at the Billings temple. Well just our luck we happened to try to attend the temple the one Saturday it is closed all summer long. We had a good laugh at that and decided it was the thought that counts. At least we got to spend some time together without kids for a day. :)

Yesterday Kaylie asked me if the temple was closed and I told her it was and that was why mommy and daddy couldn't go. She smiled at me and said, "They must have gone out for pizza!" Gotta love that sweet little girl and the things that come out of her mouth.
