New Job!!

Devon is going to school for mechanical engineering, he has about a year and a half left and then he'll be done with his masters. We have been so blessed with grants and tuition reimbursement and many things just working out right so he could go to school. Today he got offered an internship that is really close to our home and will also be a three dollar pay raise!! He is such a hard worker and so smart, we are so grateful to our Heavenly Father for blessing us so much!!

Snowbird


























Well, the past couple weeks have been fun and busy for us. We went on our yearly trip to Snowbird with my mom's side of the family. It's so much fun! We all go up whenever we can during the week and just relax, eat, swim, eat, play games, eat, etc. On Sunday usually everyone comes and we have dinner together and play bingo. My grandma also makes a quilt every year and draws out the name of a family or individual who gets the "Snowbird Quilt" for that year. She also has a jar of candies to guess every year and the winner gets a Snowbird t-shirt. We usually celebrate the October birthdays as well. Lucky for me, I get to celebrate mine up there! I was spoiled by my family. They're the best! We went on the tram this year, but it was so snowy and cold at the top it we pretty much got off the tram and then right back on again. :) During that time Blake(my brother) managed to fall and hit his face and knee on the stairs. He had a nice bruise for quite a few days. PS I know I blab, but I don't want to worry about making it sound good, I'm just writing my memories, hopefully it's not too boring ;) Anyway, I worked as a substitute teacher and it was UEA so I got to come up a few extra days to Snowbird which was great. My brother Sean and I stayed up late doing puzzles and we even went to the gym one day! It was fun spending some time with him, it's been a while since we have gotten to hang out alone together. Snowbird is such a fun memory for us. When the fall weather starts, "It smells like Snowbird"

Family Pictures










One Saturday Dev and I didn't have anything to do and no money ;) so we decided it would be fun to go to the canyon with Mimi(our puppy) and take some pictures together. The road was blocked, so we decided to go to Wheeler Farm. Sadly, I didn't really get the pics I wanted, but we had a blast and I'm posting the pics we did take. Mimi was hillarious with the animals!!
