Summer has definitely begun, whether the weather (he, he) is cooperating or not. I am really busy with just about 100 different things & trying to fit in as many fun summer activities as possible. It is all my fault really. I like to stay busy so that I feel like I accomplish things & don't waste a bit of summer. Anywho, let the updating begin!
Memorial: We went to Manti for Memorial weekend. They have Scandinavian Days over memorial every year which includes a parade, music, fun vendors, and much more. We invited our friends the Turcsanski's to come down for the festival and had a really good time. Sunday morning, just after church, we decided to go for a drive through town so we could see if there were any changes. We headed towards the pool to see if the slide was in yet. Headed towards to pool on Main Street we passed the Manti House Inn. I glanced over to look at it and noticed a gentleman sitting on the front porch. I told Jeremy that I thought he looked like George Lopez & Jeremy agreed. After looking at the pool, I told Jeremy we better turn around and go see if it was him. & What do you know!!!??? It was GEORGE LOPEZ!!! We parked on the side of the Inn & debated about whether to go talk to him or not. We thought we better not lose the opportunity. We happened to have our camera too, but after a brif chat with him we were about to take a picture...& our battery died!!! Our luck! He was friendly and mentioned that he was in town for the graduation of his niece @ Wasatch Academy in Mt. Pleasant. He said he had never been to that part of Utah and thought it was very pretty. We said our goodbyes and he hurried inside. We told all our family about our star sighting right there in little ol' Manti.
We always enjoy going across the street to the park to play. Brielle loves the swings and sometimes, depending on her mood, loves the slide. This day I had to go down with her.
Shirley J: About a month ago I was introduced to Shirley J's. Shirley J's is an easy-to-use, hassle-free, delicious line of sauces and mixes. Every product incorporates a no-fail, "just add water" formula to ensure simplicity and perfection. Shirley J's products are universal, simple and foolproof, economical, healthy & delicious! The idea of Shirley J's is to start bringing the family home for dinner. So I decided that it would be a great job opportunity and enrolled in the Executive Chef program and enlisted my sister as well. We are really having a fun time with it & loving the delicious meals we have created. If you would like more information about it, please visit my website

Hobby: My new hobby has been a little sewing. Jeremy bought me a sewing machine for Christmas so I thought I better put it to use. My project lately has been sewing carseat canopies. They are really easy and have been great baby shower gifts. Here is a picture of just one of the canopies I made lately for a boy.
Brielle's new step!: Brielle finally let me paint her nails!!! I was so excited! She loved looking at her toes and showing them to everyone. Weston kept telling her that she'd never be the same and that I had introduced her to a new addiction...pedicures! It is so fun to have a girl!!!
Birthday Boy!!: Jeremy celebrated his 34th Birthday last Friday. His boss at work brought n donuts for the whole refinery to celebrate with Jeremy. We went to dinner at Tepenyaki's and I made him tres leche cake for dessert. He got a new drill, Sportsman's Warehouse gift card, money & sushi for his birthday! What a good day it was! Jeremy is such a good father and husband! Brielle and I feel very lucky! Love you babe!
Fishing: Jeremy has had the itch to fish lately, so we went to Little Dell Reservoir to have some fun. It was a little chilly & he didn't catch anything, but it was nice to get outdoors and closer to the mountains. It really made us want to go camping! Brielle loved throwing rocks in the lake and going for a little walk on the trail.
Jeremy opening his new shoes!
