Spanish Fork Children's Parade

Last Saturday was the Children's Parade. Livvy was nervous to be in it, Micah was excited! I convinced Livvy to be in it by telling her I would walk in it also. So I had my first parade experience. It was a fun little event. About a mile long route, but at the end there were popsicles and free activities for the kids. The highlight was getting faces painted. My highlight was Kenny had the day off of school and was able to spend it with us!

The little boy smiling is Micah too. Guess who was listening when I said, "Micah smile!"

Miss Spanish Fork painted their faces. Levi looking studly! Kacey got to ride her bike in the parade These are the cute girls in our Primary class. Micah's best friend from church. Livvy's best friend from church.

Greer Reunion 2010 Reid Ranch

The kids and I were able to spend a Friday night up at Reid's Ranch near Fruitland, UT, along with Kenny's family. Kenny didn't get to go because of work and school :(

The drive was a little confusing, but we made it and had a great time (aside from my constant coughing due to a lovely bronchitis....sorry to my roomies Seth & Nicole). We were the only family at the ranch which was nice. There was horseback riding, fishing, paddle boats, archery, two pools and a playground. Not to mention a mess hall and snack shack. The lodge we stayed in was huge! I think this would be a good place to bring a YW's group.

We continued the reunion on Sunday with church @ Mom & Dad Greer's and then a picnic in the park complete with styrofoam airplanes. (I don't have pictures of that unfortunately.) The reunion was a lot of fun and it was great to see Kenny's brother, Chip, his wife Stephanie and their family. They live in Texas and we don't get to see them often.

Can't wait to see what the 2011 reunion brings. No pressure Nate & Mary!

Hope you are enjoying the heat! Try to stay cool!

Ohio & Josh's Graduation

At the beginning of June, the kids and I flew to Ohio to visit my brother Josh and his family. It was the last time we'd be able to visit them there because they're moving to CO since Josh graduated from The Ohio States' Dental School and the Army wants him in the "Centennial State".

The plane rides to and from actually went fairly well (thanks to Benadryl on the return flight). It was hard to travel without Kenny, we sure missed him, but tried to enjoy ourselves.

Enjoying some yummy ice cream at Graeter's.

Doesn't Josh look like Chris Daughtry? During our stay McKennion, Kobe & Savannah had a triple birthday party. This is Nathan & Josh racing on the bouncers. Mom even got in on it! For once, Livvy actually ATE the cake as well as the frosting! Waving to her loyal subjects. I didn't get any pictures, but Kobe was also baptised and confirmed a member of the Church while we were there. I'm pretty proud of him for his choice!

The first pictures of Dr. Joshua Melton! Way to go! Don't count on me calling you Dr. Melton though, you'll always be Squashy Joshy to me.
I would have taken more pictures, but right after this pic the stomach flu hit me (as it did everyone else that weekend!) Nothing like vomit to ruin a party.

Thanks again Josh for letting us stay with you (especially since you moved like 3 days after we left!) And thank you Gretchen for all the YUMMY food, good thing I'm not watching my weight right now.

Their Special Day

Joe & Joni chose the Salt Lake Temple to be sealed for time and all eternity. Kenny & I were able to attend the sealing, it was very touching. I didn't get any pictures of the reception, but trust me, they know how to throw a party!

Blast from the Past!

This is Joe & Joni.

They recently got married. We were able to share in the celebration. A family dinner was held the night before. It was 50's themed.

We looked GOOD!

It's been a bad couple of days. I found out my work is using PTO to make up for hours whether you request it or not. A lot of people get called off when patient load is low. I only work 3/4 time so I miss about 4 hrs of work for full time status every week. Unfortunately, this eats into the PTO I need for maternity leave. I'm already feeling the strain of working, being pregnant, running a household and doing it solo while Kenny is at work and school. I know I shouldn't complain, there are lots of women who are currently doing this or have accomplished this already. I just didn't prepare myself enough for it emotionally. Do you think it is possible to have intrapartum depression?
