"It's Like Tuhmater Without The 'Tuh'"

Homegrown tomatoes = Heavenly

I have loved going out to my little tomato patch and picking some ripe tomatoes, then look at the plethora of green ones, and it all brings a smile to my face!

This also brings a smile to my face!

Natalie absolutely loves her new sunglasses and will actually keep them on!

She kept making me put them on her throughout church last week.

Can You Tell...

...that I LOVE beets!

YUMMY!

P.S. Grandma Lewis, I think that you would like them too if you gave them a try!

Marcie & Sam

I have been meaning to post about this for a while because these people mean so much to me.
You see, my wonderful cousin Marcie and her husband, Sam, are trying to adopt a child to begin their little family. They are a wonderful and loving couple who would make fabulous parents.


You can click on their button on the side of my blog to read more about them. Please spread the word if you know of anyone that may be interested!

My thoughts and prayers are with them as they go through this journey!

Happy Birthday Natalie!

Natalie had her 1st birthday on Sunday.

We had family over for cake and ice cream.

Before the cake...

...after the cake.

This year has really flown by and we love having Natalie in our family.

Happy Birthday Natalie!

Don't Think Don Aslett Did This...

Growing up my mother would always talk about cleaning like Don Aslett. I have had a project on my summer "to-do" list of cleaning my windows (inside and out) and cleaning all of the blinds as well. Last Thursday I finally got around to start cleaning the windows.

I used this product. AMAZING! So worth it.

I was feeling very productive.

But I don't think that Don Aslett did this...

As I was putting the huge blinds back up in my kitchen, they slipped and fell on my foot cutting it. Luckily Mike came home from work 3 minutes later and took me to Instacare where I ended up getting 6 stitches.

Lewis Reunion

The other weekend (July 9th and 10th) we had our Lewis reunion. We camped up Logan canyon and then spent the next day swimming, playing on a waverunner, resting and relaxing at Bear Lake.


Natalie did much better than we thought she would camping in our tent for the first time. She was a little ornery and woke up crying a couple times in the night. The day after we got home we found out that her two top front teeth were coming through...poor little girl!


During the reunion we.....

had s'mores and sat around the campfire...

slept in stylish fashion...

splashed in the water...

ate...

and took naps!

This was a shock seeing Natalie take a nap. She was just sitting on Grandma Lewis' lap as we all were sitting around and talking and the next thing I noticed was that Natalie had fallen asleep. Grandma Lewis eventually slouched to make it a little more comfortable for her and Natalie.

It was a great weekend relaxing and being around family!

Independence Weekend

The 4th of July weekend was a fun filled one for us. On Saturday the 3rd we went to the Murray parade.

This was my favorite "float" in the Murray parade.

We then went to Grandma and Grandpa Readings to play in the water and have a BBQ.

Sunday the 4th was filled with two baby blessings. Mike went to his sister's baby's blessing with Natalie in while I went to my brother's baby's blessing.

On Monday the 5th we went and spent the day with Grandma and Grandpa Lewis. Of course it involved more eating and a yummy BBQ...

...splashing in more water...

...and riding Grandpa Lewis' 4-wheeler.
