7 year old beauty!

On Tuesday, June 25th, it was our sweet niece Emma's 7th birthday! It's hard to remember a life without her! 

Some of the MANY things we love about Emma is that she is smart ( I mean brilliant for a 7 year old ), she always keeps us laughing, she's a great big sister and a wonderful friend. She loves her family and her Heavenly Father.

While Em and I are 16 years apart she truly is one of my best buds! Our family never fails to remind us just how similar her and I are.

For her birthday present she requested that Gammy and I take her to lunch and shopping, cute I know! We went to the Cheesecake Factory for lunch, got her a fun tangled Barbie doll and nightgown and the Disney store and went to RUUM to get clothes. 

It was so much fun to sped quality time with her. She's lucky to have the great parents that she does and that have helped her become such a wonderful girl!

We love you Emma! Happy Birthday!!

The Latest and Greatest

So one time I started a blog and I haven't kept up with it recently. Here's an preview / update I'd the latest and greatest in out lives.

 

Back in April we attended the annual Red and White game. It's always so fun to go watch the Utes but what I love even more is how much everyone in our May family loves it!! Our cute niece has even decided she wants a Utah themed bday party. We can't wait until football season!

 Next, Tristan and I had the great opportunity to go back and visit his mission for 10 whole days!! While we nth said we didn't feel like we had enough we loved every minute we spent there. I know how special this wonderful state of Washington is to Tristan's and so I w as excited to experience this with him. We started off our trip and spent two days in Seattle to see the tourist sites and enjoy some down time. On Saturday we headed up into Tristan's mission area where we spent time with a lot of wonderful families!! We visited and are until we couldn't hold any more. I LOVED the authentic Mexican food, my favorites included tacos de papas, mole and sopas! While we were in Washington we also did some sight seeing including kayak point and the Boeing factory. Tristan's sweet Uncle Jeff and Aunt Suzanne were so hospitable and invited us to their beautiful home on Friday Harbor so we enjoyed the weekend out on the San Juan islands. Here's lots of pics.....

Our Baby Named Sadie

I can't believe I waited this but we finally did it, we got a puppy! Her name is Sadie, she's a Bernese Mountain dog and is currently 8 weeks old. She is full of life and loves to play but when they days over she's our cuddle bug! We already take her everywhere we go. We love her to pieces!!
