Utah Love

TEN YEARS!!! Ten years we have been married. How wonderful. (this post is a little behind, sorry) We took a trip down to Utah to have one last Hurrah with the Deans. And little did I know, that Chad planned to wisk me away for the night... without the 3 oldest kids! So we took a little walk down by the Provo temple, and reminisced of days gone by. It was wonderful and such a beautiful night. I couldn't have married a better man for me than my Chaddy. How grateful I am to him and for his love and friendship. I hope the next 10 years are as adventurous as these last have been!



We stayed at the Hines Mansion in the Library room. It's the exact room we spent our first night in together. These stairs led up to the double jaccuzi with a skylight roof.

Model poses!!

Here we all are at the little slide park in Provo. Kent ordered us a 7 foot sub sandwich. Which was just enough.. until Taylor and Jordan got there.. I think there could have been another 3 feet to feed them!

Back at Spencers house for Father's Day dinner. All the boys were there and they had a slam dunk contest. They had a blast!


Kent was having a ball just watching all his boys and grandkids have so much fun. I don't think anything could have made him happier!

Shelby, Matty and Hailey hanging out in the shade.

Michelle, Marcie and Cassie. Such pretty girls!

Riley was having SO much fun with all his cousins and uncles and of course his Dad.


Can you get a more handsome group of boys together?? All the Dean boys minus Atticus and Alex. (Mikes youngest boys)

It was a little bright! But here are the Dean girls. We are only missing Kristy in here! Pretty girls.

All the grandkids.

Emily, who was deathly afraid of this dog at the beginning of the day, was holding the dog and never wanted to let go by the end of the day!

Fourth of July!!

Here we are at the parade! We were so lucky to find our good friends Jolene and Eric! So they scootched over and we sat with them! The weather was nice and even cool, so it was great! The kids got lots of candy and had a ton of fun! Can you find Riley??

I just had to take a picture of all the American flags... wont see so many of them again in a long time. A beautiful sight.

We are all very proud to be American. These floats created very tender feelings with Chad and I. It is going to be very difficult to leave the USA. We love our country and will always be American. We know the Lord wants us to be in Canada, and that is a beautiful and blessed country as well. So it's all good. It's just good to see Old Glory in all her Glory!

Nothing like the afternoon nap after the parade and before the fireworks!

Sitting out by the river. We got there around 5:00. We just had a tiny little spot... sorry everyone around us! We got a little rambunktious! But I love being by the river with all the people. You can feel the excitement in the air!


Thinking of non-running games to play! Always a good match of arm wrestling between Emily and Riley!


This picture would be so good if it wasn't so blurry. How I love 4th of July. It is my favorite holiday. What fun we had! The fireworks of course were worth waiting for. A wonderful day.

Emily's Birthday

My little girl turned 6 years old! She wanted an Ariel cake. I think it turned out great. We had our friends the Hydes over for cake and presents. During the day our other friends the Droegemuellers came with us to the Spray park in Rexburg. It was a very fun day.


My four beautiful children. How I love my kids. I could just eat them they are so cute!
