A REUNION WITH THE GIRLS!

These are my dear friends, Michele and Amy. We had the chance to meet up last week while I was in Cali. Oh how I've missed these girls -- I hadn't seen either of them in about 3 1/2 - 4 years! It was so fun to hang with them again! Thanks for being so awesome girls!! I love you guys!! :)
Madison came with me to meet the girls, and she was pretty restless after lunch, so I let her ride in the car...she loved it!

San Diego fun in the sun!

Entertainment tonight!

This is our new entertainment center...big screen and all!! I felt like we were the only ones left in the world that didn't have a big screen t.v. yet!! Although, I know this is not true, it just felt like it!! :) It has been really fun to watch the Olympics on it this week! Men's gymnastics and swimming have been my favorite!
If you look closely, you can see our new stool as well. We have 2 more coming, but this was all they had in stock!

HOME DECOR

Kitchen decorations! For those of you who have been to our new home, you know this is a big deal, because we have lived here since March and the walls are still bare!! :)

We painted the guest bathroom a few weeks back. We are excited to paint the rest of the house, but after painting the bathroom, we decided to hire someone to finish the BIG job!

We are slowly turning our house into our home!! :)

Utah petting zoo

We went to the petting zoo this last weekend at Thanksgiving point in Utah with our friends Zach and Andrea. Their little girl Anistyn was all about the animals, but Madison was a bit leary of them, as always. It was hot out there (102), but we still had a great time! Thanks for taking pics for us Andrea!!

Madison's cheesy smile...she thinks she needs to smile like this for all pictures...LOL!
Madison with her cute little friend Anistyn! And, there's that cheesy smile again!
THe pony ride! Madison loved the pony ride, but she had a hard time holding on.
Tyler feeding the animals with Madison. She actually did feed the little goat...she is so brave! :)
There we are with all the goats, begging us to feed them!

Chad's Baptism

Chad with his Uncle Trevor, who baptized him!
The Hammond/ Briney gang! Everyone was here...it was great! I have never met an 8 year old as eager to be baptized as Chad. He is such a righteous example to all of us. We are so proud of him...GO CHAD!! :)
