Abbey's Wedding

This past Thursday, October 8, Abbey and Jake got married in the Jordan River temple and we went up for the festivities.  It was a beautiful wedding and a beautiful day for them and we were so glad we got to share her special day.

Mr. and Mrs. Pugmire!

She had this big grin all day. I remember the feeling!

What a good looking family!

Keeping Camden busy during the reception.

Congrats Abbey!

It just so happens that Abbey married the nephew of two of my BYU roommates.  It's a small world....

Still look 19......okay, I can dream.

On Friday we went to see Becky's art exhibit in SLC.....

A couple of my favorites.....

.....but they were both sold!

Most of her pieces were already sold, which is so awesome.  Congrats, Becky!

Then we drove down to BYU to check out THIS....

SLC temple made of Legos....pretty cool.

Late Friday afternoon on campus.....pretty calm.

Camden is zapping my phone so I can't take a picture.  Ha! Got one anyway.

Remember how they tore down Harris Hall in August?  The pile of rubble has turned into a mound of dirt. Stay tuned!

Hanging out at the Bean museum, ready for some ice cream.

In between activities we hung out at Dan and Nicole's, playing with Camden and Wesley.

Camden showed us how he could ride a bike.

Wesley showed us his crawling abilities.

Babysitting the grandkids....life doesn't get much better.

Wesley loved Jared's whiskers.

Lego Land!

It was a great trip.  I wish it could have been longer.  It was so fun to see everyone and it was nice to spend a couple days in cool temps.  I love Utah in the fall....because they get one!

The next couple weeks will be spent catching up on everything I put off while getting my Statistics class done.  So glad that is behind me! 12 days until our trip to DC so stay tuned!!

August 2015

I have been wanting to update our blog for some time now but computer problems have prevented me from attaining my goal, thanks to Windows 10.  Keep your fingers crossed that this goes well!

August was pretty busy.  First of all, Scott and I both had really bad sinus infections the beginning of the month.  I was worried that my trip to Utah might get postponed and it did.  But I finally made it for Education Week, my first time going.  Although it was wonderful, I was still not feeling well and over exerted myself which put a damper on things.  But it was great to be in Utah and hang out at BYU for a week.

Nice lunch spot.

The campus was buzzing.

Ok, so I think I posted photos last year of my old stomping grounds in Heritage Halls.  They have been gradually tearing them all down and replacing them with new buildings which are beautiful.  However, my old home, Harris Hall was in the last group of four to be torn down and I was so happy to see at the beginning of the week that it was still there.  Three days later, on Thursday, I had lunch with one of my roommates from Harris Hall, Pam, and we walked over there to see it one last time.  Yep, you guessed it, GONE!

Just a pile of rubble....

Wish I had thought to take one last picture, but alas.....

Nice shot of the Law Building though!  Just for you, Scott!!

One of the perks of the week was staying with Dan and Nicole and getting some quality play time with Camden and Wesley!

Wesley is growing like crazy and is such a happy baby!

Camden is still the funnest ever!!

It is always nice to spend time with Dan and Nicole and I was also able to have dinner with Jared and Cate.  They are always so fun to talk to and it was nice to catch up with them.  They even insisted on going to Brick Oven even though neither one of them is crazy about that restaurant, which I kind of don't get, hehe.  You guys are awesome!

From Provo, I went to Turlock to attend the wedding of a friend's daughter.  It was great to be there and catch up with everyone from my old ward.  It was also great to see my family again and hang out with them for a couple of days. Wish I would have taken pictures while I was there!

This is Jayde (and Aunt Susan's legs). Sorry guys, I'll do better next time!

At the end of the month we went up to Prescott to celebrate Ashley's birthday.  We had a nice lunch with her and Jason and then we walked around town for a bit before heading back to her place for......

30th Anniversary cheesecake from Cheesecake Factory!! Super yummy choice, Ashley!

She opened gifts.....

And then we headed back down to the hot valley.  Thanks for the nice reprieve Ash!

I can't believe we're halfway through September.  This month has been a blur so far because all I have been doing is working on my stats class.  At least that's how it seems.  I took the 3rd exam this morning.  I now have one unit left and then I take the final.  I am hoping to take it in Provo while we are up there for Abbey's wedding.  Keep your fingers crossed.

"Just because" flowers from my husband that I couldn't resist posting because he is the best ever....

We're looking forward to being in Utah for Abbey's wedding!

Until then....

Summer 2015

Here is an update of our summer activities....

Scott and I took a trip to Turlock to attend the wedding of the daughter of a high school friend of mine.  The wedding was beautiful and it was good to see family and friends and catch up.

Best friends from high school, Barbara and Ana, and still friends today! No, I am not saying how many years!

The happy couple, Eric and Siera.

My high school! Still looks the same today as it did back then (no, I will NOT say when that was). It could really use a paint job.

My favorite class and teacher, U.S. History with Mr. Abraham.

 Scott has been wanting to organize his work area in the garage and so he has been working on that this summer and got it finished a couple of weeks ago.

 

Hard working and handsome! I'm so lucky!!

Ta da!!  It looks great!

Riley says hi!

My nieces, Morgan and Hannah, come out every summer for a week and this year they really made the most of their time.  They planned just about every minute and we did some really fun things.

Feed My Starving Children has become a tradition.

We're so cute!

Cori and Jordan took them to Sunsplash and then challenged them to Harry Potter Scene It. 

We went to the Musical Instrument Museum where I found this treasure....John Denver's guitar!

I wanted to pull it out and give it a big hug!

They got to experiment on a wide variety of instruments.....

This one is for you Jo Ann!

We went to the AZ Science Center where they rode bikes on a tight rope. They are so much braver than I am!

Her paper airplane just fell to the floor is what explains those expressions.

Wheel chair races!

It was hard work!!

We also went shopping, went to two movies, Cinderella and Inside Out, went to Organ Stop Pizza, which is also becoming a tradition and passed out just about every night!  There was lots of good food had by all during the week....

Biggest hot dog I have ever seen.....

In and Out.....

Johnny Rockets.....

Organ Stop.

In the middle of all of that, I took a midterm test for my Stats class.  I don't have my grade yet, but if I just get a passing grade, I will be so happy.  It was ridiculously difficult!  But it also made me more motivated to finish this class!  So I am going into overtime mode.  I want more than anything to get back to History!! It will be so nice.

Until next time....
