Dinner with the Tanners

While we were in Utah for the wedding and to spend time with my sister, Jenny, since we couldn't stay long enough to go to her graduation, we had dinner with all of Chris' family. Chris and I requested that they make a Shrimp Boil. It has shrimp, potatoes, corn on the cob, and sausage in it. It is so good. These are some of the pictures that Chris took. He took so many that there are too many to put on. When Nate and Catherine got there Neil had just woken up so he went straight to Grandpa and laid with him on the swing. It was so cute!! This is my new hair color and cut I know that it is extremely red!! That is due to the red that I had in my hair two color appointments ago. But thankfully it calmed down a bit and it is looking better. Rex said that I just cut my hair so that I could look Liz so hopefully I look as good as she does. The kids turned on the sprinkler and started running through it. Then Cody and Tanner came over to show us their muscles. It was so cute!! When Nate and Catherine got there Neil had just woken up so he went straight to Grandpa and laid with him on the swing. It was so cute.

Morgan and Nate's Wedding

Morgan looking fabulous as always. She looked really pretty and we had a good time getting ready. They got married May 28th up at Snow Basin Resort. Chris and I were happy to be a part of the wedding party and we had a good time reminiscing about our wedding day.
The flower girl Kayla and ring bearer Nathan. We sat next to Kayla and her family at the rehearsal dinner and she fell in love with me and was my little shadow that day. Her family is trying to move to Arizona soon so I told her we could hang out when she moves near us.
Me and Jenny taking a break while the wedding party was taking pictures.

The whole wedding party.
The guys holding up Morgan. It was really funny because they were gonna lift her up on the count of three and on three nobody moved. She had on so many layers they couldn't find her legs it was really funny.


The bridesmaids holding Nate up.

I thought this picture was really funny. Jenny just ran up and grabbed me in the middle of the picture.

Here they are cutting the cake. Morgan started the cake shoving in the face. She tried to get Nate and then wrapped is arm around her and shoved it in her face. Then she chased him down and threw the cake on his back and it got smeared down his shirt. It was pretty cute.

Scorpion suckers

Cody, Cole, and Tanner. They really thought they were cool. Cody took his home and kept licking it until he said it pinched him and got sticky sucker everywhere. Tanner got down to the scorpion and Paul told him if he ate the whole thing he would give Tanner a dollar. Tanner got a little bit of the scorpion and was really grossed out so he threw his sucker away. Cole took his home and soaked the scorpion out so he could take it to show and tell. Aren't we the best aunt and uncle ever? Sarah if you would like some for your kids let us know and we will send them your way.
When we gave Neil his sucker, we opened it and then he looked at it really hard. He really wanted it but he kept looking at it and saying "BUG". He wasn't sure he wanted to eat it. He would lick it once and yell "BUG"! It was so funny.
Sophie with her sucker. We were a little bit worried about giving it to her but she looked at it and said "there is a crab in my sucker" and went right on eating it like it was nothing. Liz said that if she would have let Sophie keep eating it she would have eaten the whole thing.

Breakfast on the mountain

Our ward had a camp out up on Mt. Lemmon. There is a really nice campground up there and the guys were in charge of breakfast. So we drove up on Saturday morning and the guys made breakfast. These are all the cooks. Our friend Jordan is in the red apron.

Our 2nd Anniversary

For our anniversary this year, we went to The Melting Pot. It is this really cool fondue restaurant. The tables are really private and you can't see the people that are sitting next to you. The first course was a cheese fondue. They mixed it up right in front of us. It was so good.







The next course was a salad, which we didn't get pictures of the salads but they were very good too. Then they brought out the meat course. You pick which cooking style you want and we picked the mojo style. It was really good.
Then they brought out the dessert course. We picked the flaming turtle, they did light it on fire at our table but I couldn't get to the camera in time. It was really romantic and a very fun experience. And to make this day even better we finally SOLD OUR HOUSE!!!!! YEAH!!!! Chris was so relieved when he signed the papers and it was official. We closed over a month late than the original closing date. But we finally did it and now we can really enjoy Tucson.

Garden continued

That huge plant is the zucchini. And the beans are getting really big.

Watch our Garden Grow

These are before and after pictures of our garden. We started the garden just under two months ago and the growth has been amazing! Every day I walk out there it looks like the plants have grown leaps and bounds. Chris is so proud. We are up to five tomatoes, a pepper, and a zucchini so far.
