05/22

On Sunday, we got up, had breakfast, and hung around the house for a bit. I love Sundays because it's Andrews only day off and we finally get to spend time as a family together. His work schedule has been pretty crazy, but it'll all be worth it when we are done at the end of the summer.
So for our Sunday "funday", we went to a cave called "Old Mans Cave". It was really cool!!! They had a waterfall that went into a "pond" that was so pretty! I wish we would have known and we would have worn our swimming suits so we could have swam. Next time we go, we are going to swim. The rocks there were covered in green moss, and was absolutely gorgeous! I was loving the scenery the whole time. ((I have pictures....but....they are on Andrews camera and we forgot our cord to link the camera to the computer so I will post them tomorrow or Friday after I go get something so I can share the pictures.))
After that we went to this really good BBQ place and had dinner. It was one of the best places I have ever had BBQ. Of course, being that I don't have a good memory, I cannot remember the name of the place. I need to get better with writing things down for these types of reasons.


On a side note: Ohio is really growing on us. We are loving it, except for all the rain ;), but rain this much is not typical they say. But we really miss home and family and can't wait to see them all again.

Today when we woke up, we made PANCAKES and ate breakfast as a family. Andrew left after that for work, so me and Parker headed to the mall. They have a little playland area there that Parker was able to play in.
After that, a few of the wives that are down here (in Ohio) went over to the grand opening of a little "bar and grill" called "the Goat" and we tried some of their food (kinda reminded me of the food that Chilli's or Applebee's would have, but a little better). They have a big pool area over there but it's not open yet...it hasn't passed inspection...hmmmm makes ya wonder what's in the water. LOL! Just kidding. I heard a man saying it has to do with the way they designed the doors that lead out to the pool. But, it's supposed to be open next weekend....I am sooo excited to sit out by the pool!!

Parker asked me ((about his Aunt Amanda's twin babies ultrasound)), and I quote: "Why can't I see her guts if I can see the babies??" Too funny not to share. He is a pretty funny little boy!!! 

our special day (December 10, 2010)

I am BACK!!! :)

Wow! It's been 2 years since I have done anything with this page! so much has happened it's unreal! I don't even know where to begin. LOL. So I will begin with the most important day, that started our lives together as an official family...
On December 10th, 2010 I married the most wonderful man, Andrew Phillips. It was a beautiful, snowy day, at a Ranch in Morgan, Utah. I could not have planned a more perfect day. After we got married we lived in Layton for 4 months, and are now out of state for Andrews work. There have been so many wonderful changes I don't even know how to explain them all. So, I will start fresh from here on out and try to update this a few times a week!!
