Week of Craziness!

It all started last friday when we went to the hospital to see Jeff and Claudia Hill's new baby boy!! James Gage Hill!! He is soooo handsome with the most perfect skin tone! I was so sad I left my camera in the car. Congrats Jeff and Claudia! After we left Jenni was kind enough to help me make posters to take to the airport for my little brothers return the next day. Thanks for all your help Jenni your the best! And this is what the boys did while we made the posters On Saturday my little brother Conlan returned home from his mission!! I'm soo proud of him and love him so much!! So happy to have him back! And I'm so happy to be able to hang out with him again!! I have missed him! The anticipation at the airport while we waited... ...and waited A cute moment of a random couple reunited while we were again waiting There he is!!! He looks soo great!! My parents are behind him because the flew out to Texas to spend a week with him. All the kids! Conlan got to meet two new members of the family that have joined since he left 2 years ago, his niece Alyssa and Sharice's husband Gregg! Here he is a home on the piano!! Man it was SOOOO good to hear him play! It was definitely a cold chill moment as Tom said.
On Sunday we went to the annual Styler family 4th of July partay!! It was sooo fun with tons of kids, family and food! Thanks Dave and Dani for always being the best hosts! Almost everyone was there! 71 out of 72 After the Styler party we went back to my parents for more fireworks and Conlan was a excellent lighter! Minus the one mishap where one tipped over and wizzed past tom and hit the house:) This is Marley barking, howling, pouncing, and crying at the fireworks! He was freaking out! It was hilarious! These were the legit fireworks that blow up in the sky! On monday-4th of july! The whole fam at the parade! Alyssa was enjoying her view of the parade! Delta parade glory! During the parade Koleman would turn around and clap at us sooo cute! And of course we had to go the always awesome Demolition Derby!! Delta is the only place to be on the 4th of July! Us and the Miller fam! On tuesday night my Grandpa Miller and my dad came over for a visit! My grandpa lives in Joseph City, AZ. And he hardly ever came up to Utah all growing up and I haven't seen him for years so it was so nice to not only see him but to have him over to see where I live! He was so funny with Jovi! She kept cuddling on him and he kept calling her things like a "pot-licker!" It was so funny but I know he liked her. On thursday- WELCOME SWAYZIE!! Brent and Jenni had their gorgeous baby girl and we got to go see her for a couple hours!! She is tiny and perfect! Congrats Brent and Jenni! Tom and Papa bear. I failed to get a pic of the beautiful mother!! I'm so sad! CUTE! On friday night we went straight from work up to Ryan and Tracy's wedding up at Alta Ski Lodge and it was such a great ceremony in a beautiful location! It was a really fun night and we got to hang out with lots of friends! Ryan's look of anticipation was so cute! Look how gorgeous Tracy looked!! Wowza! These were such super talented kids that played the most beautiful music before the ceremony The cute little ring bearer and the flower girl Check out the view during the ceremony! On Saturday to end the phase, I took some of my students that met their goals, and Rachael bowling and it was sooo fun!! Love those guys and I'm gonna miss not teaching them! And we ended the week by going to dinner that night(which was supposed to be a bbq but bad weather) with my co-workers for Kenzi's birthday!

Mother's Day weekend:)

On Friday Rach invited me to dinner to celebrate this very special woman/friend/co-worker/hairdressers birthday!
Ashley!

Jessica, Rachael, Lindsey


It was so great to get together with all these old salon co-workers! I love them!

We headed down to Delta on Saturday night when I got off work. When we got there my family hung out around the fire pit and this is the only time I got my camera out all weekend! Whoops! The dogs were in heaven in my parents glorious, lush backyard chasing the tennis ball and exploring every nook and cranny.






And here is the infamous "Carmel". For those who remember him. Yes I got him in 4th grade and yes he is still just lovin life!! I think Marley and Jovi annoy him but he tolerates them:)

Sunday morning we went up to Tom's mom's house and hung out with Sadie, Kimi and her roommated Deanna, John and Kristan, Darren and Dani, and Larry. We had an amazing breakfast and just talked and laughed while looking at all their old pictures:)
Then Sunday afternoon we headed back to my parent's to talk to my little brother Conlan who got to call from his mission!!! That was so fun, he sounds so happy, busy, and mature! It kinda freaks me out! But that was definitely a highlight of the weekend and he gets home in 6 weeks! We can't wait!
Then on our way home we stopped at Tom's dad's and chatted for a while and had great conversations like always.
Pretty perfect weekend.
Now back to reality. Work... :)

Supercross 2011!

We went to supercross again this year with friends it was FREEZING!!! But it was still a blast and way worth it! At least it wasn't wet but sheesh. We got there way early so the guys could look at all the bikes and stuff in the pits. Not as much free stuff this year (dang economy) but still way fun. And we saw Chad Reed and Bubba Stewart Brett, Tom, Brady, Brady, Dallas & Mike on our way to the stadium Brenda, Stef& Jessica These are apparently some very cool bikes! THe red Honda is worth like 250K! I don't know...they all look the same to me:) These were the coolest remote control cars ever. They went like 65 mph and were basically indestructable! This is Bubba Stewart! He is Tom's favorite rider and in the main event he was in the lead for like the first 5 laps and then he crashed twice. During the pre-limenaries I love Brady's face in the background:) During warmups Freezing our bummies off!
