Precious Baby Ashlie

I just had to share this picture. Too cute.

Kenny, Kenny, Kenny!!!

Me and McKenzie are HUGE Kenny Chesney fans. We went to his concert together 2 years ago, and had sooo much fun. So we bought tickets the minute they went on sale this year back in February. McKenzie's been counting down the days since then, so this was a very much anticipated day. Our tickets weren't too awesome, but we didn't care, as long as we could hear Kenny's sweet voice. So right before the concert started, our good friend Chauny called me and said she had two tickets for us right up front by the stage, but to keep it a surprise from Kenz. I was dying, McKenzie was going to flip. I almost couldn't keep it a secret. So we walked up to will call and picked up our "new" tickets. McKenzie just looked confused, as we started walking closer, and closer to the stage until we were right up front. She stopped, looked at me, and said, "who did this?!!!" and started crying. It was PRICELESS!!! I've never seen anyone so excited about something in my whole life. She was freaking out, I seriously thought she was going to throw up or faint, because she was so surprised. It was PERFECT!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH CHAUNY, YOU REALLY MADE OUR NIGHT!!!!

Kenny was so good! We even got to touch him a couple times. McKenzie held it together pretty well :) I'm not sure if she'll ever wash her hand again though.

I told McKenzie to be strong and not to let anyone push her out of the way, she was right up against the stage, and no one was going to get our spots. It was awesome!!!

Wooo! That's all that needs to be said.

Kenny did sound good. The voices you hear are us, sounding like dorks. But hey, we had fun.

Church History Trip June 2-10th

Jordan and I were very fortunate to tag along on the church history trip my parents, and McKenzie were taking this Summer. We had been wanting to go on this trip for a while, but only wanted to go if Dad was coming, so we could have "church historian" with us. We had a great time, we saw so much. The stories make so much more sense now, thanks for giving us this opportunity. We love you!

Fun trip... but a VERY long car ride. Thank goodness for portable DVD players, and SUGAR!!

One of our first stops was Mt. Rushmore. Sadly it was rainy and cold, and the monument was covered in clouds. We were a little bummed out as you can tell from the above picture. But after a few hours the clouds lifted, and we were able to see it. It was really neat.
This is a beautiful lake we fell upon, in Custer National Park. This is where National Treasure 2's City of Gold is filmed. It was so beautiful. We could've spent all day here.
The "Needles" at Custer National Park.

Winter Quarters Temple. We just walked around this one.

Pushing the handcart at Martin's Cove

Liberty Jail. "The Prison Temple" (very neat)

Carthage Jail

Joseph Smith's Mansion House

The Beautiful Nauvoo Temple. My favorite part of the trip. This temple is AMAZING!

Our trip was wonderful! Two things I know for sure... Joseph Smith is a true prophet of God, and the pioneers have my respect, love, and honor.

Park City Family Vacation

Every Summer we go to my parent's condo in Park City. This year it was super fun, because the whole family was able to make it up. We had so much fun together. We celebrated birthdays galore (I even included a picture of Jordan with smashed cake on his face for your entertainment), we swam, played softball, shot guns, went on hikes, picked wildflowers and mangaged to step on a snake, and get my neice into stinging needle, shopped, and just had so much fun together. I love my family. They're the best!!

My Princesses!

Introducing... Ashlie Woodward!!!

I became an Aunt again, on July 11th 2009. My sister Camille had their third baby, a beautiful little girl named Ashlie. She's so cute, I already love her so much. It was so cute to see how excited Camille's other little girls were to have another sister. They just love her. They kept telling me, "you've gotta see her Shalyce, she's soooo cute!!" Congrats Camille and Brad!!! We love you!

I love being an Aunt!!

Happy Birthday Jordan!!

Jordan turned 23 on Friday. I'd been up in Park City with my family all week while Jordan was at work, so he came up later that day and stayed until Sunday. (Park City pics to come) I made Cafe Rio Pork Salads for dinner, and we had birthday slurpees for dessert. (not because I'm a bad wife, because Jordan hates cake and actually most desserts). We did manage to shove some old cake from Alyssa's birthday in his face by doing the traditional "que la muerda" routine We went to the park that night and played a little softball and then watched Forever Strong. It was a good birthday if I say so myself. Jordan was most excited about his new gun that my parents bought him. He's been playing with it all weekend, and he told me last night that he finally feels like a "real man."

Happy Birthday Sweetheart, I love you! (even though you never look at the blog.)
