Farnsworth Family Reunion

This weekend, we went to Alimony, UT (In central Utah, middle of nowhere) for the Farnsworth Family reunion (My Dad's, dad's family reunion - My Grandpa!)

We got off work early on Friday & drove the 2 & 1/2 hours to get there. We got there about 6:45pm & when we got there it was time for dindin. We said hi to family & ate. After dinner, I had to go out to my parents car to learn the song my Grandma wanted us to sing - Grandma Can I Take Something Home! I learned it in about 20 minutes & Wendy (my sissy) & I decided we could sing it together - A Capella. We did pretty good. We had a little program that night with us singing & my aunts reading poems & some games with prizes...All in all, it was a great night.

Wendy & I singing!

After dinner, the program & pictures were taken Jason (My little brother) & I went to bed, we were both really exhausted! Everyone else went to watch a movie or play pool.

Saturday was a jam packed day. We woke up, ate breakfast then went off to Bow & arrow shooting. That was fun. After Lunch we went horseback riding & Tubing. After that, they had a rodeo that my brother Ben participated in. It was fun to watch. They also had a Line Dancing Class. After that was dinner. After dinner, they had a live band & everyone got up to dance. It was fun.

After the band was done, we went upstairs to watch a movie that my brother brought with him. During the movie, there was a Bat that had flown into the room through an open Door. My cousin hit him with a couch cushion into the wall, then Ben picked him up with Magazines & took him outside. It was kind of a tramatic experience. Wendy & I were screaming! It was kinda funny though. About half was through the movie, Wendy & I decided we were tired, so we went to bed.

Sunday we woke up, ate breakfast & packed up to leave. We had to be out of there at 10am. We drove home, picked up Bear & had a nice relaxing day at home. Jason came home with us for the day because My momma & daddy are taking Wendy to Idaho for College. So he wanted to spent sometime with us instead of going up with them & being bored! It was a great weekend. Thanks Grandma Farnsworth for putting this on for us & giving us a weekend we will treasure forever!

We have some NEWS in the next coming weeks that we found out this weekend as well, we just want to make sure everything pans out before we tell everyone, so keep your fingers crossed for us that it will work out for the best for us!

And remember, I still need some ideas for a Baby shower, if you have any games, please let me know!

Weekend Recap

Well, it is time to blog! I am bored @ work with nothing else to do, so I will update you on my weekend. Shall we start?

Friday night Mike & I enjoyed a nice night indoors, cleaning & preparing for our weekend.

Saturday Mike had to work, so I had a "Girls day" with Jessi. We went to La Villa Salon for Glitter Toes & then to El Pollo Loco for some Lunch. El Pollo Loco it pretty good, if you haven't tried it, I recommend it. It is located in American Fork across the street from the Walmart in the same parking lot as Costco & Lowes. (Wow, look at me, I sound like a commercial) After lunch, we went to Costco to shop. After shopping, I meet up with Mike for his lunch break. I went home, put away groceries & then fell asleep on the couch, it was a long day, I was tired! Saturday night we just enjoyed ourselved again with relaxing!

Sunday we went to Church, had Ben over for dinner & then went to bed. What a fun weekend.

This weekend, we are going to Cedar City area for the Farnsworth Family reunion, so I will have more to talk about next week. Also, Jessi & I made blankets for my Sister-in-law & her baby she will have in Sept. I will take pictures of them & post them sometime. How was your weekend?

Also, don't forget we are having a Baby Shower for my Sister-in-law & I am incharge of the Games & prizes...I NEED IDEAS, if you have any, please let me know.

Let me know that you think!

Help!

I am helping my Brother-In-Law's wife throw our Sister-In-Law a baby shower! YAY...I am figuring (but not for positive at this moment) that I will be doing the baby shower games & prizes. I haven't hosted a baby shower in 3 years! I have been to a couple since then, but I am the type that HATES baby showers & the dumb games that they play there, I need some help thinking "outside the box" when it come to baby shower games. If you have hosted a baby shower & you played an unusual baby shower game, or have been to a baby shower where you played an unusual game, let me know. I don't want to do the usual baby shower games...i.e. "Don't say baby". Let me know what you got! Thanks for your help!

ARG...Things that made my day!

It is time to do this again...I had one of those days! You know how everyone hates Mondays? i.e. You have a case of the Mondays...Manic Monday...well, I HATE Tuesdays. The commute for me is always worse on Tuesday, it is always more busy on Tuesdays... i.e. Tuesdays reports are due, up front collections are due etc... So I hate Tuesdays & today has been one of these said Tuesdays, so I need to remember the things that made my day today...ready, here we go!

Payday is Thursday.

A mistake I made 2 months ago, which was caught today, didn't really ever progress all the way, there was some divine intervention in that!

Laughing & joking with Jody...We always have a great time!

Talking to the new girl @ work for a half hour & getting to know her better.

The possibility of be being an Employee of the Month in the near future!

Knowing that we could still get preggers in the near future (I am trying to be positive - is it working?)

Bear greeting me so happily when I got home from work today & wanting to LOVE me!

Wow, alot happened today that made my day...things are starting to look up!

Let me know what made your day today!

4th of July Activities!

I had so much fun this 4th of July...I didn't think it would be possible hanging out with my in laws without my husband (Mike had to work), But we had a lot of fun.

We started the day out at 10am in Orem getting Subway Sandwiches they started up Provo Canyon to Sundance. We all goined at Sundance & drove up the Alpine & started our hike there up to Stewart Falls. It is a 1&1/2 mile hike each way. It was hard at times but once we got there it was BEAUTIFUL! Here are some pix.

We are almost there

So BEAUTIFUL

This is my Niece Alisha walking through the water to get to my Mother-in-law & I sitting on a bench!

After the falls, we hiked back down to Sundance & ate Lunch (hence the Subway Sandwiches) then drove back to up Alpine up to the Alpine Loop...It was also BEAUTIFUL up there...Here are more pix.

After that Chuck (my Brother-in-law) found out that he had a crack in a hose or something like that with his car (I am TOTALLY not a car person) So Mary (Mother-in-law) & I decided we would follow him to South Jordan (where they live) to make sure they got there okay. They had a Concert (Miley Cyrus) to get to! About half way there, they called & said they would make it okay, so we turned around & headed back up the canyon to get my car.

I got home about 7:30pm, took a shower (because we were DIRTY from the hike) & relaxed until Mike got home. When Mike got home we did some fireworks & then I ended up going to bed, because it had been a long, exhausting day for me.

Thanks to Mary, Chuck, Lori, Alisha, Shantel, Austin & Ricky Martin & family for making this 4th of July a great day for me & for all of us. I love you!
