Arches National Park








This weekend, or I should say Friday and Saturday we went to Arches National Park. We camped outside of Arches next to the Colorado River and spent Saturday at Arches and Goblin Valley. It was a blast and the kids had sooo much fun. The weather was perfect and we left the rain cover off our tent and pretty much slept under the stars. It was just beautiful. I didn't realize how much fun Goblin Valley would be for the kids. But it was like a giant playground. Sterling's Mom came with us and that was a life saver. Towards to end of the day the kids were so worn out that we had a couple of meltdowns but Grandma was able to calm them down. And it was just fun having her there. I love that my kids have their Grandparents so involved in their lives. They love them so much. Andrew and Brooke were there too and it was just great to spend time with everyone. I have to admit I was suprised at how brave my girls were. The first Arch we went to was Double Arch and the girls climbed up to the cliff. I barely made it up there and it was a little scary. I asked the girls what there favorite thing was and they said "everything!!" I was so tired after we left Moab and was ready to go home, but Sydnee wanted to go to Goblin Valley so bad that we couldn't let her down. It was about 1 hour out of the way, but I am glad we did it. It was so fun! I think Sydnee thought there were real Goblins there, but I don't think she was disapointed. Tess wanted her picture taken on ever rock. She was so cute, but she wouldn't smile, just pose.

Tenth Anniversary!!



It's been ten years! I can hardly believe it. Our anniversary was actually on the 28th of August, but I am a slacker so I am blogging about it now. We had a crazy week so we didn't get to really celebrate it until Sep. 12 and 13th. But we did get to go to the temple on our anniversary. I thought that was appropriate and pretty cool, because that was the temple we were married in. I took some pictures, but I have to remind everyone that I am 6 months pregnant in this.

On Sept. 12th Ster and I went away to Park City to really celebrate. That was so much fun. It was a much needed break and time to reconnect. That is where we spent our honeymoon. It was fun to remember the past and to point out places we had gone and ate at those first few days of married life. We went shopping and out to dinner at Ruths Chris. That was awesome. I felt spoiled, but loved every minute of it. The food was soooo good and it was just so nice to be able to talk and not have to worry about the kids and just take our time. In the morning we window shopped down main street. It was funny because we went into an art store and I was telling myself "some of these sculpture's look like something my friend Raymond Gibby would do" Well I looked closely and guess what. They were his. Pretty cool. He was a guy I grew up with in Riverside. But haven't talked to for 10 years. They were a little out of our price range, but maybe I can get a discount :) Anyway after main street we headed off to the BYU UCLA football game. That game was awesome!! (byu 59 ucla 0) So we just had a blast. I couldn't have asked for a better anniversary. Not to mention a better husband!!! I love you Sterling!!! Thanks for sticking around for 10 years.

Please Help!!






So we are having a hard time deciding what to name are little girl coming in a couple months. We just thought it would be fun to get a poll out there and see what everyone thinks. I feel like the end is near and we need to get more serious about this. Thanks for your help!
Oh here are some pictures of us up at Sundance last week. We were there taking pictures for another family and weren't really planning on doing major pictures of us. I just feel too pregnant, but I thought these were cute anyway.
