County Fair!

we went to the county fair on the 8th of Aug. it was fun,except it for it rained and was so cold.
the the kiddos had fun.


cooper was really good this year, hes usually scared of the animals. but he actually got close enough to pet the cow, i guess it paid off that we live next to the dairy hu?


He also loved the bunnies, they are soo soft.



Julie was really good. she loved the goats especially. she freaked out when we got near the cow.

5th Anniversary!!

Can you believe it! its gone by so fast.

its not actually til tomorrow, but i knew i would forget to post about it..
well we got married on august 20th 2004...for those of you who don't know the story..
we met on ldschat in about February, he asked me to come to Logan for valentines day. i said no, i had only known him for like a day. well he found some interest in me. he kept trying to pursue me. well we met up in march. he told me to pick somewhere, where i would feel safe to meet up with him, so i picked....home depot in Lindon. well from there we went to his brothers place and we went hot tubing. then him and his brother cooked me and his date dinner...stir fry. so good
then we dated for a little bit he would go down to my house, and i would go to Logan. the he proposed on May 20th, i told my mom that we were getting married like a month before, and she wouldn't get started on anything til i had a ring.
and we got married on August 20 in the Logan temple.

Quite a day!!

We have had quite the day today......

well mike woke up this morning at about 6:30. did his usual morning stuff. well then he had a major side ache.. he couldnt sit, stand, lay down, or anything. so about 7:45 he says we need to go to the ER. im thinking, "this is bad, he doesnt go to the Er unless he is hurting bad" so i called his sister and she came out and watched the kids, while we went to the ER.

well they did tests and catscans, and come to find out... Mike has......Kidney stones. YUCK!!!!!

well the dr said he had 1, thats all 1 i had "rock beds" which nothing came out for me.

so we stayed there, they said its right next to the bladder so hopefully it just drops in. as soon as they drop, the pain goes away. well it was about 12:00 and he was having absolutley no pain. so we got the dr and asked if we could go home. so about an hour later. we got home.

well at about 4 he passed that little thing. and i mean small. it was the size of a little mustard seed.

never realized that something so small, could cause so much pain. but he is okay now and it was only one. boy am i glad that is over.

Happy Birthday Kortney!

Well, its here again. today is my birthday. i am now a quarter of a century old.
i didnt do anything special for my b-day... mike has to work so we are celebrating on sunday. i did however, make me my favorite dessert....strawberry cheesecake. that i made from scratch...no store bought crap..
