Grandma's House

Spencer's Grandma Luck is huge into gardening and I love it because we definitely benefit from it! She has a ton of fruit trees in her back yard and when the fruit is ready to be picked she invites us over and let's us pick and take as many as we want! Right now it is pear season so today (9/11/10) we went over and picked some pears! They are one of my favorite fruits. The trees had a lot of spiders in them so I didn't pick too many but Spencer sure didn't mind and went to town. We ended up with 4 buckets full but only took half because we can't eat them that fast! The picture below is her goats. She has 3 of them because they keep the weeds down and when the bad fruit falls off of the trees, then the goats can clean it all up. We also ended up going home with patti pan squash, acorn squash, tomatoes, and cale. (Not sure if those are spelled right)

Parker Curtis Brady

Parker Curtis Brady, born August 28th, 2010. We got to hold him today (9/11/10) for the first time because he had Pneumonia when he was born and stayed in the NICU for a couple of days. He made a pretty fast recovery and before we knew it he was home! Isn't he so sweet? I could have held him all day. He's the cutest thing. Below is a picture of Corbyn with Spencer's flip flops on. We were just sitting there holding Parker and Corbyn decided to try on Spencer's flip flops! He's so funny. Tracy said that when Parker was spitting up, Corbyn said "Oh no! Parker is spilling!" I love my nephews.

Fishing

Lately, Spencer has been going fishing. He has been getting up at 6:00 a.m. on some Saturday's to hit up the lakes/ponds. As you all know, Spencer is an amazing cook so he was really hoping to catch something to smoke in the smoker and eat for dinner. Too bad, all of the times he's gone they either throw the fish back because they are too small or they get "skunked". To get "skunked" means to come back with nothing! Bummer. Maybe next Summer we'll be able to eat some smoked trout!

This is me with our neighbor Amber and her daughter Mckenzie. The moved in about 2 months ago and her husband Chris likes to fish as well! We decided to come along. Below is Chris and their son Caleb on a different day.

Baby Embree's 1 Year B-Day

Embree turned 1 on 9/1/10 and family gathered at the park to celebrate this cute baby girls birthday! It was soo funny when she dove in for the cake! I didn't get a video of it with my camera but we were all laughing so hard. She literally stuck her whole face in it! Enjoy the pictures! I finally got a camera so pictures are starting to flow.

24th of July

I am so bad at taking pictures! My digital camera broke a couple of months ago and we haven't had the money to buy a new one. Spencer has a Nikon, but that comes in a big bag, and it's a big camera.. not convenient at all! You have to put on the big 5 inch long lense just to take a picture haha. Taking pictures is rare these days, so I will just explain what we did on the 24th this year. My birthday isn't until the 31st but we celebrated it on the 24th. We went to Gateway Mall in SLC and ate at Tuchano's Brazilian Grill. It was delicious! Then we spent a few hours wandering around looking in the stores. Spencer is so patient when it comes to shopping, he just let me go wherever I wanted.

Then, Spencer's dad got us tickets to the REAL Salt Lake Game. His hospital (Salt Lake Regional Hospital) is a big sponsor of these games and so he gets free tickets all of the time, and not just any free tickets, they are tickets to sit in the suites! We were especially excited because we'd never been to a REAL game. The suites have a big flat screen TV in them that you can sit on a couch and watch the game inside with the cool AC or you can sit outside on the "deck" and watch the "live" game. The suites also come with free dinner and drinks! The dinner was delicious, it's always some gourmet thing. Also, Spencer's family got to sit in the VIP seats because Spencer's dad Jeff got to go out onto the field and flip a coin to see which team would be kicking off first. His poor dad had to scoot out on a scooter because he broke his foot a couple weeks ago. haha he didn't seem to be too embarrassed in front of the stadium though! It was a good game, they tied 1 to 1 and then they put on a fireworks show when the game was over. What a fun weekend! Then to top it all off, Jeff and Michelle invited Spencer and I over for dinner on Sunday night to celebrate my birthday early. Hope you all had a fun 24th of July!

Concert in the Park

Michelle's dad played the drums in a Concert at the Park in Provo a few weekends ago and we ate dinner & took some pictures while we were waiting for it to start. It was really pretty! It was all Orchestra/Band and they do it every Sunday (I believe). What a fun little family outing!

Us

The 4th of July

On July 3rd we watched fireworks in Pleasant Grove behind a school. Fireworks are always fun to watch but this particular show was definitely not a crowd pleaser! The most exciting part was when one of the cannon's tipped over and was shooting fireworks towards the school. Spencer and Brady dressed up as cowboy's for the night. I don't own any cowgirl attire so I had to miss out! Brittany and Brady had gone to the DI earlier and found some deals on cowboy stuff! Here are the pictures of the cowboys (silly boys) and then all of us getting ready to watch the fireworks.
