That's Some Pig

You are probably wondering why I am holding a gun and standing next to a ginormous pig, well hold on to your britches this is gonna be one wild ride. It was a warm summer night and Matt and I were taking our nightly walk on a path that goes through the woods. We both heard some rustling noises and thought it was just the wind, so we kept walking. Then we heard grunting and had to pause and take a peek. Lo and behold there was a giant gurgling beast waddling right to us. We thought "What the heck!" So I whipped out my 357 magnum that I keep with me at all times and shot it right between the eyes. But that wasn't enough, it kept comin. So I shot it in the head. Nope, that didn't work either. 9 shots later the giant monster had crumpled to the ground. We stepped closer to it and saw it looked like a giant pig!! So now we have oodles of pork chops and bacon stuffed in our freezer. We'll be eaten good tonight! If you need any just give us a call!

Coming to Salt Lake City....

Styx, Foreigner and Def Leppard are coming Sept. 7! I'm happy to say we are sooooo going! Sweet! Rock on! (Don't you love the nasty mullets and perms!)

Oh what the hey

I thought since I have so many pics of Olivia on here I better do some of my brother's and sister's kids. So here are some pics of my nephew Nathan, 31/2(Reece's oldest) and my sister's little girl Emmalee, almost 1. Nathan is a hoot! Always wanting to play and wrestle. Matt and I often go over and we play Cranium. We don't like Nathan to play with it by himself cuz he'd probably lose some pieces. So naturally he wants to play with it because we don't want him to. So he asks "Where's Cranium?" and we say "You don't want to play that, it's a dumb game". So whenever we go over he always asks, "I wanna play the Dumb Game." , "Where's the Dumb game?" We just have to laugh at his wittiness. Emmalee is adorable also. She loves to yell and try and get words out. She does this crazy army crawl and can't quite get the guts to take more than two steps. And how about that bald little head! So cute! I love all the my nieces and nephews!

Attack of the Bugs

Matt and I were out playing frisbee golf the other day and the mosquitoes decided to gang up on me! I swear I'm on the Mosquito Mafia Hit List or something cuz those things eat me alive.

This is a side profile of my arm where I got two bites right next to each other. Needless to say my arm swelled up like a balloon. Gross! From here it really looks like I broke something.
And this is the area from the top. Notice how it's all red and stuff, if you put your hand on it, it feels hot! So gross. But now it has gone down considerably and I no longer look like I have some disease that originated from the Amazon.Phew!

More Olivia

This is probably starting to look like Amy's blog but until we get some little wee ones of our own Olivia is the next best thing! We had her 2nd Birthday at a great park with some cool wading pools. Amy did a great job making the cake and putting everything together! What a day!

This is her floating on her back basking in the sun. Notice how she always keeps her poor little hand out of the water. So cute!
Olivia loved the wading pool so much that she decided to drink the water! Sick! She loved laying on her tummy and slurping it up and then rolling over.

You are probably thinking that that is frosting all over her mouth... wrong! It's veggie dip! Right before we were about to cut the cake and sing "Happy Birthday" Olivia decided she was hungry and took a tiny piece of broccoli and basically dipped her whole hand in the dip with it. I'm telling you this girl is one of a kind!

Ode to Olivia

Can I just say that we absolutely love this little girl! We just got back from babysitting and she is so fun! I love it when she says, "Matt, Megan wha u doing?" She asked that probably 10 times today. It's so cute to hear her string words together and express herself. My favorite was when she emptied out my purse and handed every single item back to me one by one, and each time said, "Here u go Megan." I'd say "Thank you" and she would say "Welcome". Such a sweetheart! And I am sooooo glad she has got hair! Look at those cute pigtails don't they just make your heart melt! Well maybe not for you, but for me it sure does!

Bro's Graduation

This post is a little late but oh well. This is my big brother Reece, he just graduated from BYU with a Bachelors in Mechanical Engineering. We are so proud of him! Him and Shana have worked so hard to get where they are and I admire them so much! And now they are heading to graduate school at Purdue University in 2 weeks! Wow! Matt and I are really going to miss them when they leave. (The baby on the left is his, the other is my sisters) We love you guys!

Not Wrapping Up

I wish I could say I was wrapping up for the summer but I have just begun! I got to hit the ground running in my Organic Chemistry class. It's not as bad as I thought it was going to be, I just have to keep up with everything. Oh, my English professor's name is Anna Bennion(ring a bell Mom A? She's in your home ward!) She is very cool and spunky. My other class is a Physics lab which is an easy A so I'm not gonna write anything about it. I love Spring/Summer terms, everyone's gone! It's fun to get up every morning, walk to campus and not have to worry about getting smashed by a crazy student going 50mph down 500 North. There's plenty of room in the quite JSB to study (sigh). It's great! As I was walking this morning I was thinking of how lucky we all are. We have wonderful families, devoted spouses, beautiful homes, satisfying jobs and the gospel. What else could you want in life? I can't think of anything else. We are all soooo blessed.
