What do you do when your husband is gone for a week?

Roger went to scout camp last week.

Last year I was pregnant with John and I had to work so I was at home by myself the whole time (except when Cindy came to visit) anyway I didn't like it very much. Infact I think you could use the term strongly dislike!

This year was different! Even though I missed Rog like crazy I still had a wonderful time! Johnny and I took off not long after the scouts left on Monday to go to my Mom and Dad's house in Santaquin. We stayed until Thursday. It was so much fun! Usually when I go I am only able to say while Rog is in class at the Y so its about 2 hours or so then I go and pick Roger up and we head home. It was great to go and just be there! Johnny was a bit sick but it was still so much fun. Then on Sunday my sisters Ashley and Camille suprised me and showed up at my house in Heber to have a sleepover! IT WAS SO GREAT!! Cindy came over and they gave me a pedicure and Ashley painted my toes all cute. I am so glad they braved the canyon and came up to visit. What great sisters and sister-in-laws I have!

This is my way of relaxing and dreaming about my beautiful yard I'll have someday!

Nothing like 4th of July at the Ranch!

We had a great time this year at the ranch. It was a bit different since John was with us but he loved it! We spent 3 days and two nights and boy was Johnny dirty when we got home. It is such a fun place and I am so glad that I am lucky enough to go with such a great family. There was an awesome presentation for all of the returned missonaries, a great breakfast, an fantastic dutch oven lunch, swimming in the ponds, horse rides, fishing, naping, and just loving being in the outdoors.

This is Johnny on his first horse ride with Dad.


He loved seeing all of the cows and horses. He is starting to say mooo now.....it is so cute!

As we all know Johnny LOVES water and Kev and Kristen brought their little pool so they could play in some nice cold creek water. They had HUMONGO diapers but they sure loved playing in it.

We had a great time and we are excited for next years 4th of July at the Ranch!

I know that I am way behind on my posts - -

But I would just like to let all of you know that are within the distance to come that Johnny's 1st Birthday party is on July 19th. We are just going to have a BBQ out back around 5:00. So come if you can!!
