Fun Weekend

So we had a little getaway this weekend with theNixon's. It was fun! We just went to Park City, UT for overnight but it was fun swimming in the indoor pool. Of course we love spending time with the Nixon's.

The little dots were Hot Air Balloons!

Will it ever be done?????????

So Tim and I were up bright and early and working on the basement again. Today it was the plugs and the light switches. Then Brother Brooks came over to check on the breaker switches Tim put in. It was a long day, but it is great to see it transforming into a real room. The dimmer switches are cool. We also put most of the ceiling tiles up. It looks awesome!

Marley's hair...

Cute huh?

Working on the Basement

So we almost have the basement finished. It took 3 days but our suspended ceiling is almost finished.... Below is a kind of step by step...

25 Wonderful Years!

25 Years - Happy Anniversary

Yep, Tim and I have been married 25 wonderful years. What an amazing blessing! Our Silver Anniversary was spent in Northern Utah at Sherwood Hills resort. It was nice. Tim golfed and the mountains were full of color and I took lots of pictures. We enjoyed out time together (as always) and are so thankful for one another. One special thing is that we got to go to the Logan Temple. Neither of us had ever been there so that was special. I thought it was interesting that we were married in the southern most Utah temple, and then spent our 25th in the Northern most Utah temple. We also got to have a couples massage. We also walked around outside and saw several deer a couple of times. While we were there, we decided to record all the times we went on a trip together or as a family. We came up with 33 trips... not including all the trips to Vegas for the holidays and the day trips to Disneyland when we lived in Calif. We did that about 2 times a year. We also didn't count the times that Tim went on trips for work by himself. It is amazing to think that in 25 years we have had 33 family or couple vacations. Awesome!

So here are some of the pictures ...
