UTAH!!!

We just got back from Utah a few days ago, and it was more than I could have asked for. We had so much fun just hanging with my family. We did a little of everything, Lagoon, the zoo, boating/fishing, the new aquarium in Sandy, and Seven Peaks. We definitely soaked up the sun, Bryce got really sunburned, but its healing now so it was worth it.
We also got to spend one night with the Swensons and cant wait for them to come to Missouri next weekend.
When we went boating/fishing the only person that caught a fish was Bracken, it was so cute. Bryce just showed him how to cast once and he did it all by himself twice more and than just randomly he caught one. It was funny because all the die hard fisherman didnt catch anything all day, but little Bracken tries a few times and gets one.
We also accomplished something else that day, we got my 72 year old grandma who cant swim and is deathly afraid of water out on the tube for a ride. She said that she had fun, but some of the time her face told a different story. We were so proud of her to get out there and try something new. Nobody thought that she would actually do it, but she did and I will always remember that.
Also I just have to say that I am so proud of Bracken for being as brave as he is. At seven peaks and Lagoon there was nothing that he didn't do. I couldn't believe it. Of course he had to do everything with Bryce, but it was like with Bryce sitting by him there was nothing he couldn't do.
We left Maggie with one of my friends so it was like a little vacation for all of us. It is good to be home though, we missed her.
We just want to say thanks to my family for having us out there. It was so good to see them and spend time with them. We really do love and miss you so so much. I hope that we can all meet in Chicago in October so that we can see each other again. Until the next time family. We love you!!
We only took a few pictures so I will upload those later.

June 13th!!

We have been so crazy busy lately that I have had no time to update our blog!! In the last few weeks we have moved to a new wonderful house. We absolutely love where we are, and Bryce did such a wonderful job moving us. We had to be out the Saturday after his finals were over, so Friday after he took his last test he went and got a u haul and loaded all of our stuff in it and moved us. I couldn't help because I had to work, and by the time that I got off everything was out of our old house and all I had to do was clean it. So we have moved, finished finals, tried to plan our summer trips, work, Bryce got a root canal, you know just life.
But the real reason I wanted to blog today is because it is Bryce's 28th birthday, and to let everyone know why I am so lucky everyday to have him by my side.
Okay so here are 28 reasons that I love Bryce
