We had our family pictures taken but I haven't gotten those yet but I did have this one from my camera. My family hasn't taken a real family pictures sense I was 16 years old so it was fun to do it again. With just 4 kids it was hard for them to sit still and smile. I can't wait until there are even more kids. We went to the Brigham Young home to take them. I wanted somewhere really green.

After we got our pictures done with, we all went to eat at the Panda Garden. Matt's parents were able to come too. Everytime we go down we have to go eat there. Last time we went was the first time we weren't able to go because they were remodeling it.

The next day my brother Cody took Matt and me on a hike in snow canyon. He is a hiking guide for the spa he works at. He took us on one of his advanced hikes which was really fun and advanced, it went straight up and then down. But it was great. I am sure feeling it today though.
We were really high up and you could see all the red mountains. The echos in the canyon went forever.
After getting back from hiking we went to Pizza Factory to eat. We wanted to go the the Texas Road House to eat but it wasn't open for lunch. We had a fun quick two days in St. George but it was good. Jakes birthday party was fun the food was great. It was fun to watch him mash his elmo cake. Happy 1st Birthday Jake thanks for inviting us to go down there and stay at your house. I have more pictures on myspace.com/chalynr

strep throat

About a month ago Matt's niece Abby had strep throat and gave it to Suzanne which then I got it and so kindly gave it to my mom and my brother and Matthew. oops! Matt didn't think he had it because I had gotten over it about a week and a half ago. (and had it for 2 1/2 weeks) He didn't get it until Saturday. But sense I didn't go to the instacare to get medicine it was posible for Matt to just now get it. We just got back from instacare so I just thought I would worn everyone so anyone that was around us in the past week if you start feeling feverish it's because we shared our sickness with you. You are welcome it was tons of fun.

Summer Sewing

I finally got around to making my summer purse. I haven't made that many this year which is weird because I use to make about one every other week. And so far I have only done about three this year. So if anyone wants one let me know, and I will be glad to make one for you.

Matt has been trying to catch this mouse in our garage for about 2 weeks. He put peanut butter on the trap and everyday the mouse some how would eat it and run off. Last night he put a marshmallow on the trap and today we had a dead mouse. So if you ever have mice problems try marshmallows.

Today Matt also had somemore great news, he had put in for a Grocery Manager position at Albertsons in Orem and got it. He will start on Monday the 26th. I am so proud of him for all of his hard work. We always said that if he would get this job then we would first pay off the credit cards then buy a Playstaion 3 and then a new car. Well I love him too much and we just got done watching a movie on our new PS3 :) We don't have that much credit card debt so I thought it was a good decision... I think. Anyways great job Matt I love you!

Mario Kart

I thought that it would be fun to get together with our friends Stefanie & Aaron and make Mario Kart iron on shirts. And so we did. We didn't get to bed until 3am but it was fun. The game come out the next night. I have been working sooo much that I wasn't even able to play the game until a couple of days after. Yesterday was my first day off from work in about 2 weeks. So finnally I had sometime to play. It is a lot of fun. I recomend for everyone to play it.
