4th of July trip to Utah

Tessa and I got to go to Utah for 10 days during the 4th of July. There is no place that celebrates the 4th like Richfield does. Cory loves to make fun of me for how much I love the 4th there but it will always be my favorite place to be on the 4th.
The second day I was there my Mom was getting ready for work and started to have a little chest pain but she thought it was all in her head. The rest of us went to my Grandma's and while we were there we got a phone call saying that something was wrong with my Mom and we need to hurry over to the ER. That was one of the scariest phone calls I have ever received because she works WAY too hard and WAY too much and I have been scared for so long that something bad was going to happen to her. I don't know what I would ever do without her. They did some tests and they found out that she had blood clots in one of her lungs.
As bad as it sounds it has turned out to be a good thing because it has made her realize that she needs to slow down and take better care of herself. I'm so glad I was there when it happened so that I could help take care of her like she taken care of me throughout my whole life.
Even though my Mom was sick and I missed my sweet husband terribly it was such a fun trip with the family. My cute little nephew Konner was baptized so I'm so thankful that I was able to be there for that. I know I always say this but I love being home with my family so much!!! Hopefully one day my cute little family will get to pack up and move out there but until then I will cherish every trip to Utah that I get.









































4 months

Happy four months to our adorable baby girl! She is getting more and more fun by the day and we are so in love with her. She is changing everyday and we just want time to slow down, it still amazes us how fast she changes. Cory and I love to watch her try to figure out new things, it' s so cute to watch her learn new things.
