Jena had a party for kamdyn on Friday so we got to go to that and visit with family and friends and it was lots of fun.. I love going to st.

And Kamdyn loves her uncle Ben so it was fun to see them play together,,, thanks for letting us crash at your house Jena... we had lots of fun.

The Famous Preston Night Rodeo and Carnival

Before the rodeo/carnival Max and Conli had to ride on Ben's bike, they've been waiting and waiting since Ben hasn't been around them much since he got it... max got a little scared but we figured it was probably because he couldn't see but Conli loved it and was a Little mad that max got to ride first with her sparkly helmet...

Max thought he looked cool

so this past weekend after Ben finished the bar we headed to Logan/Preston for the famous Preston night rodeo. I guess it's a little family tradition that we've started since we've done it since we started dating. We got tickets to go with the Jensen family Friday and Saturday but Lisa, Brent, and Max decided to come up and we went with them on Thursday.. three days of sitting on the metal benches was a little to much for me our little girl and i had to leave early Friday to lay in the car but all in all it was a fun weekend,,, lots of rodeo burgers and junk food from the carnival and then lots of time with family and for Ben lots of riding the motorcycle. I think that the bike was the best purchase ever and the fact that it only costs 20 bucks to fill it up doesn't hurt either. thanks to penny and colby for getting us tickets again.. we had so much fun.

Thank Goodness it's OVER!!!

today was the last day of the bar for Ben.... it has been the longest summer ever! i thought the week of studying for finals was bad.. Ben would study all day and into the night,, most nights he wasn't in bed till 2 or 3 and there were even a few 530's. I'm praying that he pasted and that he doesn't have to take it again.. I'm so glad that i will be getting more then two or three words for an answer to my questions and he will be able to go and do things instead of sitting in front of the computer and his books. Thank heavens i will have my husband back and i know that he is glad to not have to look at another book.. Now we wait for a month to get the results.. I love my husband and all the hard work he has put in for this test and law school...

It's A......GIRL......

Well we found out today that we are having a GIRL ...... And i was completely surprised. I really thought we were having a boy but I'm so excited.Kyli came with us because she had to be the first one to know what we were having. Her and Ben were both very surprised on how much you could see on the ultasound... My scanner won't work for some reason but i will post the ultrasound picture later... Everything is good.. our little girl is almost a pound and we're told in the 75% for her weight already,,, that makes me a little nervous.. All our tests have come back good and all her organs and fluids look great... we are so excited.. Sorry dad to add another little girl to the family,,, but it's your fault, you're the one that wanted to be surrounded by beautiful women....

4th of July Fun

Ben's new bike
Ben didn't think i put the helmet on right so he had to check it for me...

For the first time since Ben and i have been married i got to go with him up to Logan/Preston for the 4Th,,,, we had so much fun.. We got up early Thursday morning because Ben was a little excited to go on a ride on his new motorcycle... I have to say i pushed him to get it cause i was sick of hearing about it and now it gives me severe trauma when he rides it, especially when he rode it home from Logan on Sunday. But he's been riding a motorcycle since he was six so i guess i should just relax, so while he was off riding and cleaning it i went to lunch with my mom and kyli and then kyli and i went shopping which is always fun .

We had the Jensen family reunion on Friday night which turned out to be the girls hiking to the spring at with the kids to show then where the water came out of the mountain. while all the boys went out on a motorcycle ride. the next day we had the smith family reunion, we had a big BBQ and watched the kids play on the water slide while the adults ate and talked It was the first time ever that the whole family has been together, it was lots of fun and i wished that my stupid allergies hadn't ruined it... Sunday we hung out with my family before heading home.. It was a fun weekend with the our families and friends...

Fun with our Family

about two weeks ago we decided to get out of Salt Lake and head down to St. George for the weekend,,, we had so much fun hanging out with our family.. we lucked out and it turned out to be the weekend that Lisa, Brent, and Kyli were all down.. We got down there Friday night and went to dinner with Lisa, Brent, Casi, Kyli, and my grandpa at Texas road house where i found my most favorite drink, their cherry limeade is the best drink ever.. Saturday Kyli, Ben and I went to pizza factory for kyli's favorite bread twists then Ben dropped us off at the outlets for a little shopping while Ben went to look at a motorcycle that he had been thinking about buying,,, When he came back to get us i convinced him that i needed some baby clothes from gymboree.. he thought i was being dumb since we still don't know what we're having but i got them anyway.. after our shopping we headed back to the hotel to do a little swimming and i was shocked when Ben came out to swim with kyli and i.. he hates to swim and i think i have only seen him in a pool 4 or 5 times the entire time i have known him, so i was very excited..that night we went out to dinner at past factory,, (if you can't tell we like to eat) with Jena and Kamdyn and Casi and kyli. then us and Casi went and saw the love guru, it was pretty funny... Sunday we went and hung out with my grandpa before heading home,.., we had lots of fun and I'm glad we got a quick trip in before Ben takes the Bar.

Happy Fathers Day

say what.

We got to go up to Logan for fathers day and spend it with my dad... We had so much fun hanging out with both our families.. on Sunday we went to Preston to hang out with Ben's family because it was my sister in law Penny's birthday, we had the best food, my mother in law made prime rib and then we had the best cold stone cheesecake ice cream cake... after that we headed back down to my parents to give my dad the present from all the kids. Jess graced us with his presence for the first time all weekend and showed off his battle wounds from his lacrosse games in Park city then we had dinner with them an headed home.. I got in trouble for not getting Ben anything but i don't consider him a dad yet so oh well or oops on my part, he did get lots of texts telling him happy fathers day, so that covered me i think..

The first baby purchase..

Last night i went to dinner with friend Carly at the Gateway.. Last time i was there i had found a bag that i loved and wanted to get for a diaper bag, well Ben thought i was retarded for wanting to buy it now since we have so long till the baby comes. So i didn't get it. I was hoping that Jena would give me her old bag but she doesn't love her so to be new niece or nephew enough to give it to me... RUDE Jena.... So yesterday i was showing it to Carly and she decided that she needed to buy the baby it's first present and there you have it... my favorite bag and the baby's first gift... Thanks Carly.....
