Here’s just a smattering of photos from the last week. We’ve been having fun spending time with the Paredes family!
Siblings Dinner!
Hey! Siblings in UT just had dinner together and it was fantastic! Here’s some pics: Rex grilled us some yummy burgers and dawgs! Why have I never thought of this? Brilliant!!
Lake Powell
Josh and I were super blessed to be able to go to Lake Powell for a couple of days. There were about 30 of us total on the house boat–all of my moms siblings and lots of cousins. They had a time share on a house boat about 25 years ago but many of them…
Tony Grove with McRae Cousins
We had a fun day at Tony Grove with the McRae cousins! It was SO crowded there, I’ve never seen so many people at Tony Grove. There was still plenty of beach to sit on and lake to kayak on. We did still get ourselves a spot to roast some hotdogs and marshmallows so it…
Family Reunion 2017
What a fun week we’ve had! It was super hard to come home. Here are some pictures from our time together. I will add videos into the google drive. Collecting golf balls at the airport at midnight was a fun adventure! I think we collected at least 150 balls. Just enjoying ourselves and the view….
June Happenings
Some of you have probably seen and or heard that we now have a cute little garden (raised beds) growing and chickens that will probably be laying eggs in a month!! That’s probably the biggest news from our house. Josh and Monte spent HOURS and hours building the coop. I helped a little. 🙂 We…
Bahamas Cruise and Beautiful Florida
We had a short but sweet vacation and I’m here to share all the deets with you! Special thanks to my mom, dad, and sister for watching Clara for us. We took a 5pm flight to Fort Lauderdale on Friday and got to the Ramada Inn around 3:00 am (1:00am UT time). This is the only…
Happy Birthday to Us
Joshua and I both celebrated birthdays this month and Clara’s is next week! It’s kind of fun having them all close together. We both had super fun b-days with a party at my mother’s house for mine and a trip to st. George for Joshua’s. My birthday party was the bomb! My sister Heather and…
Happy March!
It’s March! Life is good in our hood. Clara is WALKING!! And she is already obsessed with cell phones. And we found a new granola recipe that we can’t get enough of! Let me know if you need it. It’s different than the one I shared in January. We went for Sushi to celebrate love…
January is Gone!
It’s always such a happy thing to see January go. It’s such a cold, drab month. One month closer to Spring makes me a happier woman! I can’t remember ever seeing so much snow in my lifetime. It has been CRAZY. We went sledding last week as Josh mentioned. Poor Joshua has done a lot…
Christmas with the Cooks
It was a WONDERFUL Christmas on Lopez Island. I wish I had more pictures of everything we did! Here are just a few to remember the good times. 🙂 The Christmas Olympics were a hit, and will definitely be a tradition from this year forward. The “Chest Hair Champions” got lucky with that penny pitch…
Our Summer Happenings
We’ve had a great Summer but it went by way too fast! Isn’t that always how it goes? Anyway, these pictures should give you a few little insights to some of the things we were up to. And there’s a few random ones of Clara just for fun.
