Francis-Evans Wedding

A few weekends ago Brett cousin Casey got married! It was such a fun wedding weekend! We had some delicious Korean BBQ on Thursday after the rehearsal and then Friday we partied all day long! Us girls enjoyed some pampering at the Garden Day Spa in Bountiful (they did an amazing job on our hair and make-up!)!!! Then  we all headed into SLC to pamper the bride and help her get ready for her big day! Ashley was SO calm... it was crazy! I swear I was a crazy woman the day I got married and she was calm as a cucumber! It was so fun to have such a chill environment! We literally nibbled on some snacks and laughed all afternoon! It was a blast! The boys kept themselves occupied with some lunch at RedRock... They said they didn't do much else but I am sure we all know the truth :)

It was an amazing wedding! So pretty! Ashley is one talented event planner! Her flowers are amazing! Seriously this couple knows how to throw a party and their wedding was no exception! Congrats Evans'!

Horseback riding adventures...

This past weekend our awesome brother-in-law Josh took us on an amazing horseback riding adventure. I say adventure because we were not even out of the parking lot before Brett got bucked off... yes i said bucked off!!! He is doing fine just a little bit sore on the bottom... those rocks hurt when you fall! :) After Brett collected himself we started up the mountain and ran straight into a rattle snake! I was ready to turn around and head back home... I figure we barely left and we already have had 2 incidents but we kept on! So glad we did! It was a great ride through thge Logan Mountians! Thanks Josh- best horse guide ever!

p.s. sorry no pictures... I am retarded and pressed delete instead of transfer...

Fun with the Thompsons!

A few weekends ago my dad, grandma, and aunt came to Utah to visit my sister and her new little one. While they were here we were able to have some fun at the Cache County Fair!

It was so nice to see everyone and be able to relax and enjoy the wonderful summer weather!

Happy Birthday Brett!

Happy-Happy 28th Birthday (tomorrow) to my amazing husband! Enjoy your day babe! I love you!

Pool+Pizza= FUN

This past weekend Tayeson and I were finally able to get in the water! He has been banned from water due to having a PICC Line in from his stint in  the hospital and I have had to steer clear of water to avoid infecting my surgery incisions. So now that we both got the go ahead we devised a little plan to party hardy in the water! With grandma and grandpa's help our water wishes came true! We had a few hours of FUN and LAUGHTER with our awesome family! Honestly I think we adults had more fun than Tayeson did. I think my dad was in seventh heaven-I wouldn't be surprised if we catch him playing in the kiddie pool by himself! :) Seriously this was so fun! My parents paid like $30 bucks for this pool but the fun we had was totally priceless! 

Take one slide add in one kiddie pool and you've got hours of backyard water fun!

Ending the night with some yummy pizza!

I know lots of pictures... but there were too many funny ones to leave out :)

FUN with BIG Brother Tayeson!

So while my sister was in the hospital we shared babysitting duties with my parents. We all wanted it to be a really special weekend for Tayeson- I mean come on becoming a BIG BROTHER is a VERY BIG deal! So to kick off the weekend before meeting his new baby sister we took the little man to McDonald's for breakfast. My dad was able to convince him to eat some pancakes before playing but after that he took off and headed straight to the play place... i think an hour later we were able to convince him his baby sister was probably here and we should go see her! I am pretty sure that little nephew of ours could live at McDonald's if his parents would let him!

We were able to spoil him with snow cones (aunties favorite), milkshakes, and fireworks all weekend! We were all beat by the end of the weekend- him well he was still running around like crazy when we were pulling out of the driveway... GOOD LUCK Sis! 

Having a good time on the slide!

Wishing he could play...

And yep... that's my husband!

Beautiful!

She's FINALLY here! My lil' sis gave birth to a BEAUTIFUL baby girl on July 23rd!

Little Miss Tynlee LaDeane is here! She is such a beautiful baby! If you can't tell I am a very proud Auntie!
I seriously took about a million picture but I figure I should let my sister post all the details on her blog so Brett and I each picked one of our favorite to post... trust me picking just two was SO hard- she is just WAY too cute not to take pictures of! Love her to pieces all ready!

CONGRATS McBride Family! She's is so beautiful! We love you guys!

The road to recovery...

Well it was a hard week but I am well on my way down the road to recovery! The doctor was not lying those first few days are rough... lots of pain and dizziness (F.Y.I. PAIN PILLS SUCK!). It's a darn good thing I have such a great husband to take care of me! He is so amazing! The doctors and nurses gave him a page of instructions and he followed them to every last detail! He had his alarm set to wake me every 4 hours for pain medication and was busy getting ice in the ice pack machine every 2 hours I seriously think he passed out at the end of each night! :) Between caring for me, playing with the dog, and cleaning up the apartment he literally ran himself to sleep every night--- BEST HUSBAND IN THE WORLD! Now back to the shoulder... the surgeon was very happy with the results of the surgery! NO more bone spur! NO more ligament tear! NO more bursitis! NO more cyst! and NO more fluid! I am one happy girl! You go from being in so much pain to finally feeling like there is some light at the end of the tunnel! Each day I am able to move a bit more and feel like I am getting a little stronger- couple weeks of physical therapy and I should be back in business!

Thank you everyone for all of your well wishes- We are so lucky to have such amazing family and friends that called to check up on us and spoil us with get well wishes and gifts! You all are the BEST!

Thank you to my parents for feeding my hubby every night- He is still talking about those delicious shrimp you brought over!

Thank you to my awesome sister for out get well lunch! Pregnant and ready to pop and she still took care of her big sister! :)

Thank you to Brett's parents and sister for the beautiful flowers! It was so nice to have two beautiful arrangements to look at while I was laid up on the couch!You guys are amazing!I definitely know where my husband gets it from! :)

Thanks to my dad for making the trip up her to be with us during my surgery... I know it was a quick trip but I am so grateful you were able to be here! Can't wait to see you when you get back in from vacation!

THANK YOU AGAIN EVERYONE! Healing is SO much easier with the help of great family and friends!

Some pictures on my incisions. Three small holes and a whole lot of bruising and swelling! :)
