Update... and Happy 24th

Happy Pioneer Day Everyone!! :) We have a fun day ahead of us. We are going to breakfast with my family up at Ruth's Diner in Immigration Canyon. Then this afternoon we are going to Dave's Aunt and Uncle's house for a pool party. BBQ at my parent's after that and then fireworks ! :)

Ok so here are the Pictures from our fun day!!

Yay! Let the fun begin!

So... here's an update because we have been so busy lately! As you know we are moving next week to Omaha, Nebraska. We are so excited and so sad at the same time. We are ready to get going, Dave is antsy to begin school again, and I am nervous and excited to begin teaching my new class of 2nd graders. Dave and I haven’t been working for a few months now, which has been so fun, but we are ready to do something. And… it’s all starting next Tuesday.

When we were in Omaha a few weeks ago we found this great townhouse. It is in a really nice location and almost everyone who lives there are students at Creighton. Many of them are LDS too. So I we will have lots of people doing the same things as us around. It'll be a fun place to live.

We are going to do a little bit of updating to our townhouse when we get to Omaha. Every day we are talking about colors and ideas! It is so fun. Dave is going to tile the kitchen and entry way. He can’t wait to begin. I am going to paint. Yay!!! No more white walls!! When we are finished it will look so great!

We have had so many fun things going on the last couple of weeks. Here are some of the things we have been up to and some pictures….
Dave’s cousin, Justin went to the temple for his endowment and left on his mission.

Greg’s sister and I had a wedding shower for Kami, which was so fun. I will miss her wedding, Dave may be able to come back for it though! :) She is such a sweet girl. We are really excited for them!

We saw Dave's cousin, Melanie star in Singing in the Rain at Hale Theater. She is so awesome! Even Dave loved watching the play because of her! :)

I got my hair done! I Finally cut it, I have been wanting to for a while.. but I always chicken out. Then we hung out with Chelsie and Martin. They are the sweetest friends and some of the most generous people we know. Thanks you guys.

Natalie Nickel's wedding shower... I will be gone for her wedding too! :( So sad, I guess I will be missing a lot of weddings over the next 4 years... maybe 8. Who knows where we will be for Dave's residency. Nat looks so beautiful. I am so excited for her and Nick.

And of course throughout all of the excitement we have been packing up our apartment. It looks crazy right now, almost everything is packed into a box. You dont even want to see a picture! Ha

Some of the girls I grew up with went to dinner with me... last time I'll see them at least until Christmas. :( Goodbye is sad. Shanelle was there, but I didn't get a picture of her... Sorry

Farley Family Reunion

Over the 17 and 18the we went to Heber Camp with the Farley side of Dave's Family. It was a blast. We all had so much fun together.

Dave getting splashed! :)

Lake Powell

Over the 9th-13th Dave and I went to Lake Powell with my family. It was so much fun!! Cece and Jeff and their kids even came. It was a great trip.
Thanks for taking us! :)

We had so much fun in the sun. Lake Powell is so beautiful we boated; wake boarded, swam and camped.

The weather was so perfect, and it wasn't very crowded. The water was great too.
Ryan is better at wakeboarding than I am now... He jumps much better than I do. Dave still wins though! We got some pretty good pictures of them jumping.

Hailey, Austin and Kaden are so funny. They say the cutest things. Hailey is growing up so fast. She is really starting to be fun to talk to, and she talks to more of us than just Mariah now! LOL. She loves Mariah. She is such a sweet and smart little girl. She and Austin were riding in the tube behind the boat, going about 5mph, and I guess the tube was a little flat because she leaned forward and water started coming in the front.

Cece and Jeff were a little worried letting them ride alone so we were all prepared to jump out if anything went wrong. Well Austin fell out so Dave goes jumping of the side and I dove off the back. I got to Austin and Dave and I told him good job. He thought it was pretty cool after Dave encouraged him. It was really hilarious that Hailey dumped him out!

Kaden is a little rascal, he's two! Every time you turn your back he runs away and usually into the road!! Ha ha. He is a handful. He snuck away one time and colored Lexie's car with crayon. It was pretty funny. He is trying to live up to the "terrible two's" expression. He is so cute though. You can never stay mad at him because he has the best innocent sweet face ever!

Austin always says the funniest things. When we were taking down camp he came and asked me for a treat. I told him I wasn't sure where they were. A little later I found them so I gave them all a licorice. He took one for himself and one for Dave. When he found Dave he hid them behind his back and said, "Dave guess what Dahlia found?"... "Treats! I brought one for you."

He gave Dave one and then later he told Dave that he was happy and he asked Dave if he was happy. He said yes. He told Dave that he was glad he’s happy. How cute. He is so funny. I wish I could remember all the funny things he said on the trip.
