Describe 5 pet peeves you have

I don't consider my self a pet peeve kind of person. I had to sit and think about it and I still couldn't come up with 5

1. Ignoring (i.e. on your cell phone) your kids while you are out spending time with them. Seriously, if you are trying to spend time with them turn it off.

2. Clipping nails when I am anywhere close to you. Especially when you aren't my husband. Yes this has happened.

3. Being unnecessarily rude.

4. Other people's pet peeves especially if they are inconsequential. Seriously, no one is perfect. Unless they are being rude or harmful you should not add problems to your life.

So I lost my computer...

Do you know we have an awesome warranty on our laptops? Seriously, Bestbuy has been good to us. So when I lost my laptop this time I decided to save some money and downgrade to a Kindle fire hd. It does mean that I don't have quite as much time to sit in front of a computer and work on photos and write blog post.

Let's see...since the vacation...

Barrett turned one! I can't believe it. I know it sounds cliche, but seriously, I can't.

We have some pretty exciting things going on right now and coming up. I have been preparing for Halloween (I am making addie's costume and part of Barretts,) we have special surprise coming up for Jeremy's birthday, family pictures, not to mention all the holidays right after. It is going to be fun

Utah trip

 So this is going to be quick. I haven't had much time to myself recently. Life of a busy mom. :)

So we were in Utah a little more than 3 weeks. We drove (because we are crazy) 24 hours there, plus, 3 hours to bear lake, plus 2.5 hours to rexburg, then 3 hours to logan, then 3 hours to Riverton, and lastly another 24 hours back home; for a total of 59.5. And that is not counting all the driving we did once we reached our destinations.

We spent the first week in at my family's reunion in Heber City, UT. We had such a blast. Zip lines, Games, Food, Laughter, just being with each other made the entire trip worth it.

Next we went to Bear Lake (after seeing the dark knight) for Jeremy's family reunion., I wish I had gotten there sooner. Turned out they were checking out 2 days before I thought :( but no worries, I loved the time I did get to spend with the Watsons!

 After Bear Lake we drove up to Rexburg. We went and visited some of my old college friends and some friends that might as well be family. It was great

 This is Addie and Barret sitting where Jeremy proposed to me.

After Rexburg, we went and visited Grandpa and Grandma doc in Logan. They let us stay with them for a couple of days (they took us to see their new house near Brigham City.) Addie loved visiting with her grandparents

 The kids were not cooperating for picture time this day.

We then went and spent a week at my sister's house. I went and saw a couple of friends before I went up to bear lake, so by that point I was so exhausted that I pretty much just recouped before we made our trek home. We did get together with my sister and her kids and did dinner and went to the pool. Oh, also we went to the parade of homes. That was fun! We saw some beautiful houses (including a 20,000 sqft house. It was a little crazy.)

 Anyway, that was our trip in a nutshell. We are home now, and soooo happy to be!
