Happy 24th Erica, Happy Small Belly Terra!!!

Last night we took Erica out for a belated birthday dinner to Charlestons. Erica looks beautiful with her long hair and is as funny as ever. Terra looks amazing with her small belly and she is due any day now. Yep you heard me. Terra looks about 6 months pregnant. She is still fitting into regular jeans, she's not swollen or puffy at all, and she still has no arms. Micah is a new Mommy and has a cute new haircut(don't dye it Micah), and Kristy has the new hot blond Momma thing going on.



So many people I run into ask me about Erica. Erica is so special to me for so many reasons I can't even say but I just wanted to express a few. I don't know of a person who Erica has met that doesn't love to be around her. It's almost a curse really. She has even women stalkers it seems. She makes everyone feel comfortable around her and she is so hilarious. She's not as, well let's face it, weird as she used to be in High School, but who is. She's a more polished version of her comical self. She has been a rock in my life and she has always been there. She is talented in so many different things and I wish I was more like her. Love you Erica Diane.

Reunions, Parades, Fireworks, Moving and More!!!

Well we have officially moved into our happy little "mission home". That's what it reminds Matt of, all of the mission homes he lived in, in Mexico. We have had a wonderful summer with all of our different activities. I love where we are at. I'm excited to be in our new ward with lots of people in our same situation. For the past month we have been go go go and so I'm excited for school to start and to get back into our routine. Here are a few things we've done the past month or so.

For the past two years we have gone to the Fireworks in Heber for the 4th of July. We love it. It's amazing.
Matt ran in the Pioneer Day run in Snowflake and got 3rd in his age group. It was funny to me to see people I grew up with and how different people are, or how different I am.

So then we went to the Parade for the 24th. My Dad has to do a float every year so that's his float, and yes Dad it was the most creative.

I have to tell a little story really quick. My cousin Karah's daughter said the funniest thing during the parade. It was by far my favorite moment of the weekend. It will only be funny to those who know Steve Reel. So we're watching the parade and whatever truck Steve was on(I think it was the Larsen Waste truck) came by and Steve was so proud up on top waving like he always does. Addie's probably 30 feet away from Karah and starts yelling trying to get Karah's attention, "Mom, Mom, look, it's Steve!!!" It was hilarious. The way Addie said it made it sound like he was the biggest celebrity ever. Sorry Karah, I had to share that.


For the Brimhall reunion we went camping at Hawley Lake. It was so beautiful. It rained a lot, but we still had a really good time. My Dad didn't do as much this time which was great because we got to spend more time with him. Jayden officially likes to be around my Mom more than me(I can't blame him, I would too). I guess that's how it goes.
