Boating and Breaking

We went down to St. George with Jon’s parents for a weekend. We spent the first day at Sand Hollow. I just love it here!

The sand is so smooth and soft and the water is so blue and warm. It is always so fun to pack a picnic and spend the day.

This time, I ended up in the Instacare with a broken nose! I was on the tube with Paige and her head hit my nose. Ouch!

This is the day it happened, Saturday, a little swollen.

Here’s the X-ray, you can see the 2 breaks.

Tuesday:

It’s getting better everyday! The swelling is down and the bruising is getting lighter and smaller everyday.

Here are some more pictures from a walk we took in Hurricane:

Every time we go it’s so fun and relaxing. The warm weather and change of environment makes it feel like a great vacation.  We feel so blessed to be able to spend time there. (And we love to go with friends, too! )

JULY 4th and 5th 2011

There is really only one place in the world I want to be on the 4th of July. Anyone who’s been will usually echo my sentiment. IDAHO FALLS!!!

Here we are having a game of backyard baseball.

And enjoying some fireworks in the street.

Wrestling in the grass with Uncle Ben and Grandpa:

The morning of the 4th, some of us ran a 5K. Paige and Haily wanted to try it. I was very proud of them for finishing!

Then we went to a flag raising ceremony that the neighbors have hosted for many years.

Then it was off to the parade!

We had a fun BBQ that afternoon, took a nice nap, and headed out to the BIG firework show by the falls.

The next day was my birthday! I started the day by going to breakfast with 4 of my BFFs from high school and our husbands. It was so good to see everyone!

The next day I went out to gelato and a movie with some friends here at home.

Jon got me a fabulous present! This:

It’s a Nook Color! I’m still learning all it can do but so far my favorite is the scripture app and all the games…oh and the magazines!

This is definitely my favorite time of the year!
