Lake Powell 2010

We had a great time at Lake Powell this year. Here are some pics, in no particular order.

4th of July

We had a fabulous holiday, only problem was we forgot to take a lot of pictures. So here's what we have. We got invited to Jay Hildebrandts house for a BBQ and Nola couldn't get enough of the table cloths. She kept trying to pick up the stars.

I made cupcakes, Keylime and Carmel Chocolate. How do they look? Everyone said they were delicious, so I guess I'll make them again.

Best Friends

So Nola has the best babysitter! She has a little boy and he is so good to her. I thought these pictures were so cute, so here they are!

GRASS

Oh what a difference a year makes! When we first moved into our house we didn't have grass, but this weekend we put in not only sod, but finished our sprinkler system, planted our garden and trees and flowers too! It was a long day, but everyone really helped out and we got it all done really fast! Thanks everyone! How does it look?

Our House Before Grass....

and After!

ps... I know everyone just wants to see Nola... she spent most of the day in either her stroller or her bouncer.

I think she got a little bored.

Camping

We went camping with the Utley's one weekend. My cousin Annie is really into photograpy and she took these pictures of Nola and Ezek and I thought I needed to share.

Mothers Day 2010

My first mothersday was awsome! Michael and Nola made me breakfast in bed, and gave me a gift certificate for a pedicure. I love the idea of getting some pampering with some me time. Since we couldn't be with our own moms, we spent the day with our Idaho mom. Karole and Ken had us over for a steak dinner and it was delicious.

In other news, Nola has been spitting up a lot lately. I thought it was so funny the other night I decided I needed some pictures. Hopefully it wont last for too long, or we're going to be out of cloths!

Nola's Blessing Day

Nola was blessed at Carissa's church on May 2, 2010. My parents and all of my siblings were able to come up to Idaho Falls for the big day. She was blessed by her grandpa Steve, and grandma Lori made her dress. For some reason (I must have been entertaining or something) I didn't get a whole lot of pictures, but i'll hit everyone else up to see if they got any.

Grandma Comes to Visit

Grandma Janet got to come visit Nola for a week. It's been so fun having her here! (And it's been nice having someone do everything for me.) She took Nola shopping and spoiled her rotten. She's been using her camera too. Here are some of the pictures we got of the little model.
